I went to Nainital for my holidays. From there I went to the Naukuchiatal club Mahindra resort. The resort is good. I had read some Club Mahindra Reviews before I went to Naukuchiatal. The reviews evoked mixed feelings as some of them recommended the others were very critical of the resort. I decided to check out the resort on my own. The resort is good and the club Mahindra staff is well-trained and efficient. They told me about all the places I could visit.
ReplyDeleteMy room was comfortable and nice. It overlooked the lake and I felt refreshed just looking at the beautiful lake. The bathrooms had running hot water and were nice. On the whole my room was very comfortable, though some of the inmates complained about the bathroom, mine was very nice. The food was delicious and everything was to my liking. Some of the other guests complained about the food also but I loved it. There were plenty of activities for those who wanted to take part in it. I went for boating and thoroughly enjoyed myself. There are some indoor games and activities for children too. On the whole the club Mahindra resort is good and comfortable and I completely enjoyed my trip to Naukuchiatal.
