The palace is maintained very well and the gardens are sprawling. The guests are given a royal welcome with trumpets and all. The Maharaja himself comes to greet you. The food is first class and the rooms though have all the latest amenities, share the antiquity of the past. The drinks barbis way too expensive. The whole palace is very photogenic with every corner beckoning you to photograph it. The gardens are a beautiful place to lay down and watch the sun set from. You can also see it from the terrace for another angle. A part of the palace houses a museum and is a bit noisy. The museum doesn't have that much interesting stuff but I'd definitely recommend checking out the royal watch and cars collection. The ambience is awesome.
