Club Mahindra’s resort Derby green is a nice place to stay. It is next to the bus terminus and close to the shopping center. I had read several negative Club Mahindra reviews before I arrived here. I found the place to be very nice and I would recommend the place to anyone. Don’t believe any Club Mahindra complaints that you might read see the place for yourself and decide. It is worth visiting and very enjoyable. The lush green forests and tea estates of Ooty are worth seeing. Derby green resort has many facilities like a spa and a store where you can have an experience of a lifetime. The resort staff was nice and friendly. Food left a lot to be desired. There wasn’t much variety and it was expensive too. Otherwise the rooms were very comfortable. The gym at the resort is small but is good. You can enjoy at the spa and the gym. The rooms give you a nice view of the Niligiri Mountains and are very comfortable and cozy. The travel desk at the resort is very helpful. They arrange for everything and I enjoyed travelling in Ooty. It is one of the most beautiful places I have visited.
