“This heritage resort, rich with history dating back to the 1840s, provides an all-suite accommodation experience in Kodaikanal's scenic hills, though some rooms reportedly face less appealing views. The outdoor wellness amenities, including a temperature-controlled pool, stand out, but some reports mention understaffing impacting service. I think the food is a saving grace, with gourmet meals and a live kitchen.”
