I had a wonderful time at the resort in Tiruvannamalai. It provided a peaceful atmosphere with all the necessary amenities, making my stay comfortable and enjoyable. The staff was exceptionally supportive and attentive, and the food served at the restaurant was delicious. However, while the rooms were clean and the location ideal for quietness, they felt a bit worn and small.

My stay at the resort was truly delightful, especially with the breathtaking views of Arunachala Hill and the serene ambiance. The hospitality felt like a home away from home, with attentive staff catering to our needs. While the dining options and service were excellent, the room could have used better air conditioning to make it more comfortable. All in all, it was a great experience for the price we paid.
