"Staff were friendly, property was clean, and most importantly food served was delicious and great variety. I took off one star because hot water was available but more like Luke warm, and after running water for 45 mins. One thing to note, not related to property- Bandipur safari is only available by car and only two times a day. First one starts at 630 in the morning. There is a huge price difference when doing safari from Bandipur officials vs when arranged by resort, but experience is same. "
