  1. This resort is situated in the lion country. It is the only Club Mahindra resort in the state of Gujarat. The location is nice and the resort is beautiful. The road leading to the resort is though not good. The last 5 kilometers is very bad, otherwise the road is good. The resort is located at a distance of 350 kilometers from Ahemdabad. The resort has nice tents and the rooms in the hotel are nice and well-maintained. The room service provided by the hotel staff is good. The restaurant gets a bit crowded during meal times. There is a nice pool, my son enjoyed a lot in that. The food has variety and is delicious. I enjoyed the meals a lot. The lion safari is enjoyable and I enjoyed spotting the Lion in the Lion Safari. We spotted other rare species too. It was a very enjoyable experience. The tents have AC and attached bathrooms and the kids enjoyed a lot in them. My son loved the tent so we stayed in them. The safari was arranged well by the resort people and a visit to Devaliya where you could spot the Lion is worthwhile. The resort is worth a visit and I enjoyed my trip to the Gir forest and the safari.
