Right beside river kaveri. Excellent variety of plants and birds to view on property. Room service took suspiciously long on one ocassion, but to management credit, and to be fair, they decided not to charge us. The bathroom is unique with the wonderful skylight. Food is good. Overall, would definitely look to go back

Food was simply superb. Too many varieties and every single item tasted good. People at the restaurant were very friendly. Hospitality from the entire resort staff was very welcoming. We felt like we were completely pampered during our whole stay. Kids had fun at the swimming pool and the spa services were great too. Overall it was fun.

Great location with good ambience and service
Our stay was pleasant and without any major issues. We had booked 2 nights stay with complimentary breakfast at the resort. The overall ambience was good. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner Buffet had a good spread with some local flavors as well. The Chefs and servers were very friendly. They have a complimentary river trek offered to all the resort guests which was one of the best experiences of our stay. Tips/ advice 1. Book an all inclusive package which covers your lunch and dinner as well, otherwise the lunch and dinners will cost you another 4 to 5 thousand rupees. 2. Complimentary coffee estate trip was cancelled 3. Miscelleneous fee for a printed photo during river trek was collected but was not handed to us while checking out. Please look for it in your final bill

Really lovely. Made my husband's birthday super. Took care of all our needs. The spa is great and the staff so solicitous. The restaurant staff are just lovely and prompt. Overall some of the best service we have ever had. Immaculate grounds. We enjoyed the activities and the paper dance was fun! Saraswati is knowledgeable about coffee!! Jagdeesh in the restaurant works very hard. Just the rolling shades need replacements. And bars in the tub for elderly will be nice. Thank you!!

Wonderful place for a honeymoon, really lived it. Many things to explore within the resort itself. The hammocks and the streams are the best part. Rooms and bathrooms are just wonderful. Food is not top of the like but very good, priced like a good restaurant in bangalore, not exorbitant. Buffet breakfast is great. Definitely recommend for a honeymoon or a memorable weekend getaway .

Stay away! Poor budget hotel experience
The resort is in a very beautiful setting. The food in the restaurant was good as well. And that's about it. The room condition and staff were disappointing. For the price we were being charged, the condition of the room and service was outrageous. I have stayed in other similar resorts and star hotels last 10 days. The difference in service could not have been more stark. I had booked two rooms. The phone in the room did not work on day1. I informed about it to the staff right away. The reply was to use the phone from my second room :). for every small things that did not work in the room I had to walk to the reception to report the problem. Since I bugged them too many times, they agreed to fix the phone but it took them 1.5 days to fix it. Then suddenly the phone in my second room stopped working. I suspect they just replaced the phone from second room to my first :). I don't know. The so called jacuzzi was cold water. They claimed it was warm water. I keep complaining and nothing was done to fix it The pool had frogs in it! Checkout time was 11am and the staff started calling us on the phone every 5 mins starting 10.45am. I have never faced a case where the hotel staff call you 5 mins on your phone asking you to checkout. In fact, in the rest of my five or six star hotels I stayed in India I was voluntarily given extra time to checkout which I did not take. The experience in Amanvana could not have been more stark. Stay away!!!

If you want to waste Rs.11k per night, stay here!
After a member of staff recited to us (like a child who mugs up an exam syllabus) the use of every object in the "resort" room we finally got a chance to freshen up after our long drive from Bangalore. To our disappointment there was NO WATER in the taps and our experience started with calling the reception to inquire about this and why we weren't informed earlier instead of wasting time telling us about "moon lighting" switches located in the room and toilet which actually were silly spotlights - another useless gimmick that this place turned out to be full of. That night we heard loud thumping music inside our room and since it didn't stop we decided to check out where it was coming from, quite sure that it would be from outside the property. To our shock it was an outdoor dj party being held in "the luxury spa resort" which positions itself as a nature escape! When we tried to ask the staff and manager about how they could allow this as we & other guests are getting really disturbed they just refused to provide any answers or even acknowledge that this was wrong. We got no apology from the manager and when asked if they have a police permission for parties he just evaded the topic. This place is definitely not what they claim to be - show no respect for natural surroundings, average spa experience, over priced food, ac doesn't work consistently (fans wd hv bn more eco friendly), & most restaurant staff are inattentive. A pseudo place that runs on greed & very bad service!

Expensive for what you get
The hotel is located in a beautiful nature reserve. The area of hotel is nice. No wi-fi at rooms - such an expensive hotel should provide wi fi in all its areas. Not enough light. Breakfast is poor for Westerners. Spa is very expensive. Hotel suggests activities such as yoga.

This was an impromptu weekend plan. The hotel was everything it claimed to be. Very welcoming, nature oriented resort. The staff were very attentive and warm. Special mention to Saraswati and Timaya who were exceptional in their service. The 8 Island Trek is a Super Must-Do trek. Basically got the peace and relaxation I was looking for..

The hotel is perfect for a weekend family trip to hotel. Except for the food (which is almost pathetic), it was a delightful stay. Rooms are comfortable, clean and well-designed.
