Reviews of Jim's Jungle Retreat 5 stars

Staff was amazing. Great service.

Need renovations. Rooms need urgent attention. Quite expensive Food and Beverage considering the offering and portion size.

Our stay in Jim's Jungle Retreat was exceptional. It felt so magical to be in a small cottage in their property. The property has been growing trees for 20 years, but they thoughtfully mapped out the property in advance, so the geography is seamless. The photos do not do it justice as the cafe is incredible, it is so beautiful, with so many small touches. The food was incredible, and the breakfast was such an amazing experience each day, and the lunch was one of the best meals I have ever had. I also had an exceptional massage, in the beautiful setting of the library. What stood out the most was the staff: I have never met a kinder and attentive staff, everyone was so thoughtful and so positive and they genuinely made it a pleasure to stay there. We have stayed in so many hotels and resorts in India and this was our favourite, cannot recommend it enough. Thank you so much to the whole staff for our very lovely stay.

The swimming pool area surface could have been slightly renovated, but my son loved the paw prints in the concrete, it was a really lovely touch.

Jungle , food , rooms , people

Nothing as such

That it’s in the jungle totally peaceful and quiet

I liked everything

The Retreat and it's surrounding a beautiful, filled with birds and wildlife. The pool is also beautiful, very well maintained and peaceful. The complimentary nature walks and yoga sessions each day were also fab. Breakfast was delicious, and the cookies and filtered water replenishment were also much appreciated. The cottage was very comfortable, complete with a 5am langur on the roof wake up alarm! A very restful and restorative stay.

The evening meal selection was a little limited, and often the food was only warm rather than hot, but it was still very tasty!

Proximity to wildlife. Staff friendly, helpful and accommodating. Restaurant good, I really appreciated gluten free options and fresh juices.

Bed not super comfortable. Restaurant menu descriptions often did not match meals prepared.

Breakfast fabulous. Naturalists were exceptional. Manisha, Guarav, driver for the safari Lovesuch?

The location is absolute amazing

Nothing really, everything was lovely. If I had to really nitpick then maybe they could keep the library open till late at night.

Pro : Right next to Gate for Dhela zone, well maintained property with plenty of flora. Also good for bird watching. Enthusiastic naturalist and very helpful staff. A fantastic Eco system.

Cons: overpriced stay for the facilities provided. Limited food options at breakfast.

Great resort! Wonderful cabins with old.world charm facilities. Loved the experience of staying in a unique property that takes pride in their sustainable practices. Great job!

One of the staff was rude and quite air headed. She had disregard for my elderly mother and made her walk to our vehicle in the opposite direction of where it was parked.

Breakfast was good. Combination of local and Indian cuisine. Location of restaurant along with ambience was excellent. The prices of property were a little higher but given the kind of facilities it looked reasonable.

I loved the dedication and passion of every staff member with specialist roles complimenting the authenticity in every detail of this incredible property. True professionals in their niche giving guests a sophisticated and unique jungle experience. The safari teams were next level with an English speaking professional naturalist, a driver and a local spotter explaining all of the animal, sounds, signals and tracks. All of that just for our private jeep experience. They packed delicious morning and afternoon tea packs for us including GF treats for my husband. ❤️

Nothing at all, it was what I expected and more from a jungle experience.

We were traveling as a group of friends but due to family illness I did not stay in Jim's Jungle Retreat. However my two friends did stay, and enjoyed it immensely. They said it had an old colonial charm and was a very cosy place, and the food and service they thought was terrific. They went on a safari arranged through the resort and had a wonderful time. No tigers spotted but an elephant was which was the highlight of their trip!

Nothing.

Cottage, forest and breakfast were excellent, also enjoyed the jeep safari

Other meal items were expensive and for two people portions were large so we could only order a couple of items to share in order not to waste food and keep down the bill. After the booking on Booking.com, we were required to send information by email and I made some additional enquiries but there was no response - this could have been better.

Lovely ambience, helpful staff. Particularly liked their eco-friendly approach.

The monkeys were a bit scary at first, but you soon got used to them.

Peaceful quiet location with great aethetics
