Visited Silent Shores Resort and Spa in Hootagalli...

Visited Silent Shores Resort and Spa in Hootagalli, Mysore, Karnataka state, India in 2017 to celebrate my parent's wedding anniversary. This particular review is long overdue! I was really impressed even from the moment I made my first phone call to make general enquiries. It's a pretty big property with 3 restaurants, a swimming pool, a cafe, gym, besides their magnificent serene resort with their varied selections of rooms. All information is readily available on their website. Upon arrival, we were promptly welcomed and guided by the female receptionist. The first impression always makes a big difference!

We tried their small, but quite spacious restaurant pretty close to the parking within their compound. For this reason, I didn't get to see their gorgeous resort wihich has an equally breathtaking landscape, apart from the beautiful flora!

The lunch buffet was impeccable with a diverse array of cuisine and dishes, starting with enough of the common starters and of course had its yummy soups, besides Indian food, of course which had South Indian, even with vegetarian choices such as curd rice, Chinese, Mughalai, continental including American and even Italian, having pasta and pizza options. There were of course, desserts, besides fresh fruits. Everything was cooked very well, tasty, quite filling and the restaurant in itself was very clean, even especially the buffet spread area.

The staff were so courteous, responsible, patient and very helpful. Apart from the people who attended one of our very long tables, the Manager even came and checked on us.

One of the surprises, they even made sure to have a small cake at our table and it made it all the way more merry and memorable for my parents and myself on the special occasion. I was very thankful for the great service.

The only suggestion I would provide for their future patrons would be to have either an Indian Debit or Credit card or cash with them. Their Credit card machine did not accept my International credit card which happens quite often in India! Luckily, I had enough cash to pay the whole bill. I, still would grade Silent Shores Resort and Spa, a very high rating, given their excellent customer service, including their wonderful hospitality, respect towards their customers, great food, the value you get for the bill you pay, their calm and quiet location, away from the usual busy traffic and the first hand great impression which I have had. Great job and keep it up! I plan to visit them yet again some time!
