  1. I went to Mussoorie and stayed at the club Mahindra Hilltop resort. This was my first trip through club Mahindra. I was walking in a mall in Delhi and this boy approached me. He took my name and number and then gave me a call later. They informed me about the club Mahindra holidays. I had read quite a few Club Mahindra Reviews. I had found them to be mixed. Some people praised the company and others decried the company. I was impressed by what the salesperson told me so I signed up with them and decided to visit Mussoorie to spend my summer vacation. I must say I enjoyed my stay and I would advise everybody not to believe all the negative reviews you read about the Hilltop resort.

    I enjoyed my stay at this resort. It is one of the most beautiful resorts in Mussoorie. The location of the resort is very good, where you get a good view of the valley. It is close to the Mall so it is conveniently located. You can go for trekking in Mussoorie. The staff members at the Hilltop resort are good and very well-trained. I found them friendly and helpful. Food is good and the overall experience was very good. It is walking distance from gun hill and is the highest point from Gun hill. The resort is on the hills so you feel you are close to nature. This lively resort has a discotheque so you can shake your leg every evening. The small bar is also very nice.
