Ramsukh Resorts and Spa

Stayed at the ramsukh resort during the diwali weekend for 2 nights in the ixora room. Starting with the loaction. It's located near the mahabaleshwar temple in old mahabaleshwar. It's pretty far from the market. Mapro's garden in panchgani is around an hours drive. It's completely cut off with not many restaurants in the area so u will have to have your meals at the resort. Coming to the food. It's a pure veg restaurant and it's very very expensive. A veg pasta, pane-er lababdar, 2 butter rotis and strawberry milkshake cost me rs. 1800. Having said that, the food is super tasty and freshly prepared. From gatte ki subzi to a wood fired veg pizza i tried everything and was never disappointed. The breakfast buffet is good too and was very tasty. They also have jain dishes in the buffet. Honestly, apart from the cost, was some of the best veg food i've eaten. Now the rooms. We stayed in the ixora room. The room was pretty big with a balcony. The view was average as we could only see the trees and a little part of the valley(no surprise here as it was mentioned in the room description. Can see the sunrise from the room though. The room has a good heritage feel but seems a bit old as well. It's clean but stained. The bed had a spring mattress that could have been more comfortable but 2 adults and 1 child could easily fit. Basic amenities like tea and coffee was provided. There was a microwave, a dvd player and speakers too. Speakers could be connected with a 3. 5mm jack which didn't work for me. The bathroom is pretty big and sports a jacuzzi too. The jacuzzi is clean but again old. The bathroom has a huge window, split in half clear and frosted glass but no blinds. Serious privacy concerns and at night one can see clearly from the outside. The resort area is good. Has different vantage points giving various views of the valley. Well equipped games room. Sit out and play areas. They have a disco as well. The pool is good too, not too big but good enough. The staff, from whatever little i interacted, were courteous. They serve high tea in the evenings but that's chargeable at rs. 295 per head So to sum it up. The place is good it's in direct competition with courtyard marriott that's just a fraction more in cost and makes it lose points on value for money. Anything more, it's overpriced.

Ramsukh Resorts mahabaleshwar is one of the best resorts pretty much on all counts. At the checkin time we wanted to search for better room options to suit our parents and the staff was supportive of that. They patiently showed us all the available options. Rooms we got at marginal price upgrade were excellent, neat and clean. They had excellent valley view. As veg family we found the food one of the best. For instance the tomato omlette was a real one, unlike the dosa batter one you get most of other places. Everything was just perfect. Last mile connectivity can be a bit troublesome esp on weekends as the roads are narrow and traffic heavy esp on weekends. But such temp issues are worth the pleasent stay experience at the place.

The property is awesome, but should not do booking from make my trip. As mmt does not tells clear description of room. We had to change the room once we reached there as the room booked via mmt was forest side facing which had no view. We had to request management to change the room and give a room with better view. Thanks to ramsukh management that they considered and changed our room.
