Delicious Cuisine

During my stay, I had the most amazing Nepali thali at the hotel restaurant. The chef truly is an artist in creating delicious meals. The staff, particularly Ichcha Thapa, was attentive and made sure our dining experience was great. I left the table fully satisfied each time!

I loved the spacious suite we stayed in. It was well-decorated and had a big round bathtub that was a perfect treat after a long day of exploring. The room was quiet, clean, and very comfortable, providing a perfect sanctuary to come back to.

Our stay at the hotel was quite enjoyable overall. The spacious rooms were perfect for our group of families, and the service was outstanding with a truly supportive staff. However, the hotel could benefit from some maintenance, and the dining experience left something to be desired, especially during dinner. While the location is a bit isolated, it provided a tranquil setting amidst nature, making it a decent value for what we got.

This resort is a charming escape from the hustle of the city, with clean and comfortable rooms and a wonderful, friendly staff that truly makes you feel at home. The location is quite serene, right next to the beautiful Gokarna Forest, and the dining experience was quite delightful with some exceptional dishes. However, there were a couple of issues with the lemonade drink mix-up and the room I had lacked some amenities like a shower head which was a little disappointing.
