This is by far the best resort for couples, kids and families in Shameerpet, near Hyderabad as of 2021. It was recently opened and has successfully overtaken our previous favorite – Alankrita resort. Scroll to the end of this review to find some hacks for making your visit memorable in this resort.
Good for:
Couples, kids, photographers and families
Not good for
Day outing, Swimming
Location
This place is situated in Shameerpet and has a deer park adjoining to this property. You can get deer safari rides too. You can watch deers coming towards the resort fences and grazing early mornings and late evenings.
Staff
Hospitality is commendable. Guests are the king here and you are made to feel this. All covid-19 protocols were properly practiced here. Staff here was able to handle 3 languages – Hindi, Telugu and Bengali.
Room
The rooms are good, especially in the cottages. There were some missing bits like room slippers, laundry etc but everything else was pretty much present. There was no fan but ac was enough to get the room to optimal temp. Cottage-04 has a nice balcony that leads to a sitout just above the swimming pool. The balcony also had a view of the deer park so, at evenings or mornings, you could see a deer or two grazing here. This balcony and sitout was practically very soothing during the dawn hours and post dusk. One of the chairs was damaged though, however it didn’t lead to any disaster but we brought it to the notice of the management. There were occasional power cuts but it would come back on real soon. The cottage rooms were big and spacious. There are other smaller rooms too. However, the room prices is what I found as value for money compared to the other resorts experiences and their charges around this area.
Food
One word! Great! We tried a lot of cuisines here and almost all of them tasted well. Slightly less oil may have been used in the Hakka noodles though. Try papdi chaat here, I liked it a lot. Although they didn’t have an overwhelming menu where u need to spend time thinking, whatever they had tasted well and served well. Chicken dum Biryani, Paneer butter masala are also some good options to try here.
Amenities
They have a dedicated indoor play room that houses games like Carrom, Snooker, Table tennis. Swimming pool is also present and it’s in the overflow style but I would not term it as the greatest I have seen but it serves the purpose. Spa is also available here and couple spa is available at a competitive rate. Restaurants are two here, one has Ac and the other is nonAc. I would recommend the non ac ones during the evening snacks time as you can spot few deers grazing very close to you. Parking is valet here but keys will be in your custody. Wifi is also provided and the signal is decently strong enough.
Final Verdict
Overall, this resort is one on my top goto list of resorts for cleaning my mind, detoxing and feeling connected to the nature. Team outings might not be a good idea at this property but for family stays or taking out your girlfriend/boyfriend/husband/wife where u want to live peacefully, this place is worthy to be considered.

- If you want a romantic getaway, book well in advance and ask for cottage no 4. They can setup a private candle light dinner.
- Call them directly in case of bookings. Booking done via MakeMyTrip platform are generally preferred here for booking the cottage 04.
