Reviews and Ratings
I had a generally pleasant experience at the hotel. The staff were exceptionally helpful and genuinely kind, which made my stay more enjoyable. However, the rooms felt a bit small for the price we paid, especially when I can find better options elsewhere. On a positive note, the pool area was well maintained, providing a nice escape from the city's hustle and bustle.
The resort really offered a lovely escape from the busy city life. While the rooms were a bit small for the price I paid, the service was attentive and made me feel like family. The location by the palace entertainment deck was a highlight with beautiful Rajasthani performances. Overall, I felt it was decent value for money, though I expected a bit more space for the cost.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and conveniently located near the pool, which was great for relaxing. However, it was quite noisy during my stay, and for the price, I expected something a bit nicer. The service was attentive, and the staff really went out of their way to help, especially Shrayashri, who was incredible. Overall, it was decent, but not ideal for the cost.
My stay at the resort was filled with mixed experiences. The room was rather small for the price, which was disappointing compared to what I’ve had elsewhere. Although the service was warm and made me feel at home, the noise levels detracted from my relaxation. While the amenities were nice, I felt the overall experience didn’t quite match the cost.
My stay at the resort was a bit of a mixed bag. On the one hand, the location was exceptional, right on the palace entertainment deck with vibrant Rajasthani dance and folk music. I found the rooms to be spacious, which was nice for unwinding after exploring. However, I felt that the service could have been more attentive, and the dining experience was a bit hit-or-miss, particularly with the Asian street food options. Overall, it certainly had its highlights, but there are areas that could be improved.
