Vansh Upmanyu Review of Silent Shores Resort and Spa
This insanely detailed review shall hopefully clea...
This insanely detailed review shall hopefully clear all your doubts and questions...
ROOM: we stayed in the cottage type. The room was extremely spacious. The bathroom was perhaps the biggest i have ever seen. Very well maintained. The view of the lake was breathtaking. The patio was indeed a great place 2 hang out. The housekeeping and room service was prompt and friendly.
STAFF: the staff was helpful and courteous. They were eager 2 help out. The reception was excellent. Shout out 2 Mr Kumar from housekeeping and Mr Challappa for the go karting experience(aka in resort transportation) with his golf buggy
FOOD: the breakfast buffet offers a wide range of food. I understand that it is complementary, but it was not tasty. It is surprising how idly, dosa and omelette can be so bland and tasteless. Same goes for the milkshake. Bakery items were pathetic. Never had such dense croissant. The poori, vada, chutney and kesari bath were the few edible items.
The resort had 2 restaurants and a cafe. We had dinner once at the Ambrosia restaurant. It was poor, 2 say the least. The tandoor items like the paneer and mushroom tikka had an overdose of mustard, not tasty at all. The other items like the roti and dal makhani were very average and for their taj hotel like rates, a complete rip off.
It is not such a big problem as you could always go in the city and find good places 2 eat. I recommend Jalpaan restaurant for vegetarians.
If they improve the quality of their food, I would definitely give the resort a 5 star rating.
RESORT: extremely spacious and well maintained. A nice place for evening walks with a large variety of flora. The facilities were excellent. The swimming pool with its basketball hoops was really fun. The gym was decent, not great. Didn't use the spa cause of its exorbitant rates. There was a nice play area for small kids as well. The gift shop was really cool, lot of variety and designs. But the standout was the games room.
GAMES ROOM: the best games room I have seen in a resort. 2 pool tables, TT, foosball, 2 carrom boards, a play area for kids and more... It was awesome. The air hockey wasn't of good quality though. The darts were an absolute rip off(55 bucks for 10 shots). Still a great place. The attendant was very nice and kept the place neat and organised.
OVERALL: amazing place 2 destress and rejuvenate from the hustle and bustle of city life, definitely going 2 visit it again.
