Kaadgal Resort — Hotel in Karnataka

I plan to cover several points from my visit to this Resort:

The resort is quite far from the town, making it a bit of a journey to reach. The location is also challenging to find as there are no signboards leading to it. We eventually found it by asking local villagers for directions.

We arrived at the resort at 2:30 PM. Although their details mention that welcome drinks are available from 10 AM to 5 PM, we were not provided with any upon arrival.

After check-in, we were given identification bands to wear. These bands were uncomfortable, especially while playing, swimming, and bathing.

For lunch, the resort offered both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. Unfortunately, the food quality was not up to par, though the breakfast was excellent. Both lunch and dinner were disappointing, but the snacks were good. Additionally, the tea and coffee had too much sugar, which could be a drawback for those avoiding sugar.

The infrastructure of the resort was decent, and it won't leave you disappointed. However, the resort felt small compared to others I have visited previously.

After lunch, we went to the rooms that were allocated to us. The rooms were neat and comfortable, but only suitable for two people. We stayed as a group of three, which made the space quite cramped. Despite charging ₹4000 per head, they did not provide an extra bed. Even if they had, there wouldn't have been enough space to place it in the room. Additionally, the washrooms had sensor lights that only turned on with movement. This feature was very irritating, especially at night, as the lights would only activate with constant motion.

After reaching our room, we were informed that the rain dance was scheduled from 4 to 4:45 PM. We refreshed ourselves and got ready, but were disappointed with the setup. The music was also poorly chosen, lacking the vibe to enjoy. We stayed for two days but only attended the rain dance once, and only for about five minutes.

Disappointed by the rain dance, we decided to check out the swimming pool. We had a great time there; the pool was the highlight of our stay.

Later, we went to play indoor games near the Activities and Reception area. The setup was good, but the equipment was subpar. The carrom board was in poor condition, and they didn't have a proper chessboard, only a painted table. The table tennis table was fine, but the bats and balls were in terrible shape. After complaining, we were given a new ball, but the bats remained the same. The only enjoyable indoor game was the foosball, which was in good condition.

After playing indoor games, we went to the campfire. Unfortunately, the atmosphere was marred by people getting drunk, making noise, and behaving inappropriately, which made it uncomfortable for families and friends.

The next day, we planned to have some company meetings and had previously instructed the resort to arrange a conference hall or room. They informed us that the charge for the conference room would be ₹10,000, to which we agreed. However, upon visiting the conference room on the second floor of the restaurant, we were extremely disappointed. The room lacked proper lighting, a good projector and screen, adequate speakers, chairs, and tables. Additionally, the power kept going out, disrupting the meeting. Noise from people on the first floor further interrupted our session. This experience was highly disappointing.

After that, we decided to enjoy some adventure activities. The staff instructed us to take safety precautions, and their assistance was excellent. They were calm, composed, and very helpful. The only good thing about the resort was the friendly and attentive staff, whose approach we greatly appreciated.

These are the points I encountered during my visit. Due to the character limit on Google reviews, I couldn't include some...

I had the pleasure of staying at this resort on a weekday, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of exceptional! Given that our group of five were the only guests during our stay, the level of service felt like VVIP treatment—a truly memorable experience.

The resort features a newly constructed rope-line adventure zone, which was thrilling and well-designed for adventure enthusiasts.

Rain Dance was an absolute delight! Unlike other resorts, this setup genuinely replicates the feel of real rain/drizzle, making it a unique and enjoyable experience.

The swimming pool was well-maintained, large, and clean, making for a perfect place to unwind.

Would definitely...

The place is very calm, soothing and serene. It's definitely a weekend escape from the city hustle. The property is well maintained. Rooms are clean. We are a group of families travelled together and we opted to stay in tents. Our hard luck, it started raining very badly hence our tents were shifted to the community hall. So, our stay was just okay because we actually couldn't enjoy the tent experience much. Coming to the hygiene part tents were smelling very badly. Moreover, they didn't give a temporary room for freshening up. We had to wait till night 8 P.M to get the tent. Though our check-in time was 1 P.M noon, we had to roam for other games/activities until it's 8 P.M. I was working on shift so it was very hard for me to search for a charging port (or) dedicated place to sit and work. There is no electricity provision for tents. They have to give some electricity provision and locker facility for the people who stay in tents. Maybe this is not the case for the people who stay in rooms. As far as saw rooms were maintained very neatly. The swimming pool, rain dance, rope cycling etc were good. Currently, they are still expanding the property and a lot of construction work is going on. Food is just okay and they have to include more variations. The taste was ok, neither too good nor too bad. Weekdays might be a peaceful time to enjoy. During weekends, the crowd is huge. Overall good for 1-2 days peaceful stay with...
