I have a Club Mahindra membership and this time, I decided to visit Coorg. IT was one of the most wonderful holidays of my life. The place is full of wondeful attractions and I enjoyed them all. My timing of the holiday was perfect. I went there in November 2011. I had read one club Mahindra review before I booked my holiday there. This was the first time, I was travelling through Club Mahindra. Everything was perfect, my stay the welcome by the staff when I checked in there. The staff was efficient and polite. The room was large, well-maintained and had a scenic view of the valley.The number of activities at the club are just matched by the number of places to visit in Coorg.
ReplyDeleteIn case you want to exercise they have Table tennis and other games at the property. The food provided was delicious and the menu had lot of variety. There are multiple restaurants and also a pub. On the whole the service was good, occasionally I wished they could provide some western cuisine as well, but it was okay. Coorg is a lovely place and the Club Mahindra resort is good. The Club Mahindra Review I had read did justice to their resort and services.
