“Overlooking the scenic Kodaikanal Lake, this five-star property presents a relaxing experience with diverse dining options and recreational activities. While the location certainly appeals, I noted some concerns about dated interiors that might not meet expectations at this price point. If adventure is on the cards, the hotel's custom itineraries and access to exclusive Shikara rides are a definite advantage.”
