Destination - Shakti Hill Resort - Bangalore

Not a recommended stay when with family!
The worst place to choose if you are headed for a vaction with your family or with friends. The crowd is shady, the staff are unequipped for decent service, the rooms are the bad. Infact when we turned up to check in and were showed to our rooms, we were shocked! The rooms were not meant for dwelling, so unclean and untidy, with water dripping from a pipe outside, above the garden path leading to the door.
We rushed to reception to cancel our reservation, the staff there wasn't too happy, but obliged, maybe they were used to it.
While waiting for our refund, another decent family happened to come in. The receptionist directed them to another assistant saying"show them the room first, I don't want to be writing another form only to cancel it all over again."
A few seconds later the staff returns with family, key in his hand and whispers to the receptionist " There is a dead dog at the door of the cottage, get that cleaned first, in the mean time the guest are waiting." This left us wondering if there was any cleaning and upkeep at all done at this place.
I somehow managed to convince the other family too, that this place wasn't worth our stay, and we all bundled into our respective cars after a magnanimous refund and started back to our sweet homes!
We definitely had a roaring laugh on the way back, recounting all the funny details.
So, if you feel like a good laugh, you can surely go to Shakti Hill Resort - Bangalore, but don't stay there, or you definitely will not come back laughing.
P.s: Don't get hoodwinked by the wonderful glossy pictures you see on their web site. The pictures are true, but what lies behind those pictures is ugly!
