Very nicely made with excellent view of the mountains from all angles ... Rooms are huge and very comfortable. The food was very nice. Staff was very nice. I would love to visit again. Caution .. it's not senior citizens friendly ...lots of ups n downs. And the road to this place from udaipur was all under construction so the journey was a bit rough
Fancy place, large grounds, monkeys in the trees, peacocks, pretty flowers. Fantastic views. Large private decks. Nice big rooms, comfortable beds, extremely attentive staff. We were the only ones there! Dinner (included) was atrocious, really bad, but probably our error. We were told we could order off the menu or let the chef decide a set menu so we went with that assuming he'd pick the best ingredients he had and that it would be Indian. Oops. A bizarre attempt at American food that was laughably inedible. The picture is of the "salad": apples, mayonnaise, nuts and maraschino cherries. Oh boy. Breakfast was great - the French toast was amazing! Very convenient place to stay to visit Kumbulgargh Fort.
We stayed in this lovely nature resort for 2 nights in Superior Valley View cottage.The rooms are spacious and made of stone with wonderful views of Kumbhalgarh valley. Waking up to the spectacular sunrise in the wooded hills, enjoying the cultural dance program with live bonfire in the chilly evenings arranged by the hotel, the helpful and empathetic staffs specially Jhalom Singh , Bhanwar Singh and personalised service by Lokesh ji at the restaurant made our stay one of the best in recent years. If you wish to enjoy the solitude and the unspoiled beauty of nature, you must visit this place!
With a couple of caveats I can recommend the Wild Retreat as a pleasant but not overly luxurious place to stay.
Room: we had a cottage with a splendid view of the valley. The room was spacious and reasonably attractive. There were ample electrical outlets, but the one next to my bed didn't work. The bed was large and comfortable and the shower was fantastic. Unfortunately, Wifi was spotty at best.
Location: great location for visiting the fort. Situated high on a hilltop, the view was great.
Staff: very gracious and friendly. We came on a festival day and were the only guests in the entire place! The staff very kindly invited us to their informal festival celebration, which was a highlight of our stay.
Food: breakfast was fine; fruit, cereal, juice, eggs, etc. Dinner (included) was awful. We made the mistake of agreeing to "chef's choice", which ended up being a brave but misguided foray into psuedo-Western cuisine. I imagine the Indian dishes would have been better, and I regret not having ordered one.
Very nice remote location with great views. Rooms are large with nice terraces and are very clean! Staff was very supportive and friendly, with good food. Only remark is that the decoration of the dining hall could be a little cosier. But all in all we had a great time.
