Delicious Pleasures

The food here was simply fantastic! The Bengali chefs prepared mouth-watering dishes that catered to our requests perfectly. I could happily spend hours enjoying the delicious meals, each bite made better by the amazing Nilgiris mountain views. It was definitely a highlight of our stay!

Spacious and Comfortable

We stayed in suite 114, and it was very nice! The room was spacious, clean, and very well maintained. It felt like a home away from home, with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay for our family.

I had a wonderful stay at Sinclair's Ooty, where the scenic beauty and excellent service truly made it memorable. The rooms were clean and beautifully decorated, and the staff, particularly the management, were exceptional in their hospitality. However, I did notice some issues with the cleanliness of my room, which detracted from the overall experience. The location provided stunning views, but reaching the town could take some time due to traffic.

I loved staying at this resort, set on a lovely hillside just outside Ooty. The views were breathtaking, making it a perfect escape from the busy city. The hospitality received was exceptional, with staff eager to assist at every turn. While the food was delicious, the dining variety could use some improvement. The rooms were generally comfortable, but I did notice they need some renovations, particularly with the furnishings. Overall, it was a great value for money, and I would recommend it for a relaxing getaway.

I had quite a polarized experience at this hotel. The location is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views of the valley and city, but the management left a lot to be desired. The food, especially during dinner, was disappointingly cold and not replenished in a timely manner. While the staff were friendly and the ambiance pleasant, the dining experience was lacking.
