Holiday Tags: India

Just got back from holiday in India. This hotel was in a beautiful location & the rooms were very spacious. They had a conservatory with a seating area which overlooked gardens & the mountains & countryside. There was also a rose garden. Relaxing chairs were on the veranda outside the room & also in front of the room on the lawn. There was a swimming pool but the water wasn’t very clean, don’t think it got cleaned very often. There was a bath in the very big bathroom but it had no taps or plug! There was also a shower. There was no wardrobe, only hooks but most people only seemed to stop for one or two nights anyway. The room was air conditioned & we had a fridge & fan. The hotel was in a really good location on the edge of town within easy walking distance to the sights & shops but far enough away to be really peaceful. The food in the restaurant was all vegetarian & no alcohol but they did lovely pancakes with honey for breakfast.

We were on a bed & breakfast basis but you do need to tell the waiting staff this as we were charged for breakfast on the first day. You have a choice of Indian or American breakfast which consisted of juice, toast, butter, jam & eggs cooked to your liking. The service was a bit slow so allow plenty of time. The hotel was clean overall but the dining tables could have been cleaner.

We had a lovely big room with complimentary toiletries in the big bathroom, also had a bath as well as shower, tea, air conditioning, coffee making facilities, flat screen TV, fridge. There was a lovely swimming pool with towels provided & gardens. There are two categories of rooms; we upgraded & it was worth it. We had a nice seating area outside our room with a balcony. The food on the first night was buffet style, but we chose from the menu on our second night. Breakfast was eggs, toast, fruit juice, tea, & coffee. The restaurant was basic but the food was good. We did eat lunch outside at tables on the lawn. The hotel is not located near anything but other hotels; most hotels seem to be in this area. There were local musicians playing on one of the nights in the garden area. We would come again.

Stayed here for 16 days from 24th Feb 2012. I was a bit worried because there are some reports slating it but I found it a first rate holiday package for the money/ star rating. The hotel was spotless. Sheets changed every day & were pure white as were the pillow cases. New towels were also provided every day.

The room was basic although that didn’t bother us. Ours opened out onto the pool area which was perfect for my 5 year old son. Room has A/C which was brand new & also ceiling fans. Large fridge & Sky also provided within the price.

Only ate a few times but it was always good – the chicken hakka noodles were great.

Hotel is down a road called Valentines Lane. For those of you who know the place it’s between Ice N Spice & Prazeres but on the opposite side of the road. Very quiet location. I didn’t see any evening entertainment because we were out every night from about 7. 30 p. m. until about 10. 30 p. m.

I would definitely visit this hotel again.

Well, I don’t know where to start. After a lovely flight with Qatar airlines we arrived at The Club Palm Bay in Sri Lanka, both very tired, so didn’t pay to much attention to the journey to hotel. I was a bit taken aback when we got to reception and found it quite depressing & dark, but we were given a lovely greeting & a much appreciated, refreshing cocktail.

Couldn’t have asked for a more relaxing holiday. We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary here at the Le Preskil Beach Hotel in Mauritius and it was wonderful.
