Club Mahindra Reviews
ReplyDeleteThis was my first visit to Spiti, I was totally spellbound by the beauty of the Himalayas. My experience at the wonderful club Mahindra resort was just wonderful. The ethnic style rooms that were, clean, spacious and comfortable were very good. The check in formalities was very smooth. My room was facing the valley and every morning I could see the beautiful Spiti valley.
The food provided was delicious and had lots of variety. I even tried the Chinese food and it was very well-cooked. I travelled a lot and saw all parts of Spiti. I would recommend this place to everybody. The club Mahindra staff was very efficient and well-trained. I found them very polite and courteous. The activities organised by the staff are fun, if you want to take part in them. I was keener on travelling around and enjoying the beautiful Himachal valley. The bathrooms were very clean with twenty four hour hot running water. The balcony of my room gave a complete view of the valley and it was breathtaking. The Spiti valley is worth if you want to see the beautiful Himalayas and Tibetan culture. The exotic monasteries are worth visiting. I enjoyed my trip to Spiti and enjoyed Club Mahindra’s hospitality.
