Dukes Retreat - Lonavala    Share

Nice property. Good option for official meetings, destination wedding, etc. Good things about resort- 1. Spacious rooms, lot of space around property. 2. Nice hospitality and food options (specially non vegetarian). We ordered paneer, fish and chicken starters and all of them were good. 3. Room service is quick Things that can improve- 1. Pest control around meeting rooms, since meeting rooms are surrounded by bushes and trees leading lot of mosquitoes. 2. Air-conditioners in meeting rooms, since we frequently needed to switch them off due to excessive cooling and keep the door open to avoid suffocation. 3. Road signs and navigation - Google map behave strange due to network limitations there hence having navigation boards on roads (the way we could see for other resorts) makes our journey easy.

I was here with family for two days over Saturday Sunday weekend stay. It is nice resort, rooms very specious with good view of valley side. The service is absolutely awesome in all areas. Restaurants have very pleasing views to eyes especially one beside pool, the panorama cafe with a beautiful view. Hotel staff is very courteous and had a great attitude for services in spite of relatively heavy rush . Breakfast had wide range of options, restaurant food was simply excellent, had two dinner on a la carte and never got disappointed on any choices. Food menu is priced reasonably although few side items and non alcoholic beverages seem to be pricey by all means and standards Overall nice experience

If you see a lot of buses at the parking indicative of large number of tourists or office conventions give the place a miss. On most days this is an awesome place to hang out in a beautiful relaxed atmosphere as you meet up with old friends. The restaurant has a spectacular view and pool side dining is also a beautiful place. The buffet meals have lots of variety and good food.

The service is absolutely awesome. Morning breakfast in their restaurant will be a great to your eyes because the view from big open glass windows is of a valley and mountain ranges. They have the panorama cafe with a beautiful beautiful view. All the employees have a great attitude and the surrounding environment is lovely. Though the rooms are close to each other so noise disturbance may occur but they are open to changing your room if they are available and free. The indoor games are free except pool(billiards). Swimming pool has a depth of 4 and 7and 8 with a kid pool on the side. There are safety guards around always. The timings are 7 to 7. All in all a nice pleasant experience with them gifting us a parting gift.

Perfect retreat for the locations and landscaping done to make it a real duke's vacation. Just keep in mind to reduce the steepness of the ramp and remove the stray dogs roaming around in chairman's lawn and near the parking too. Keep the politeness,experience,home-like food at all restaurants up. Will visit yet again soon for another vacation
