I had a wonderful time at the resort, nestled beside a beautiful river in the Masinagudi forest. The tree house accommodation was fantastic, offering a unique experience surrounded by nature. The food was tasty and fresh, but the service could use improvements, particularly regarding communication and response times. Overall, a peaceful getaway from city life, with some minor hiccups.
