Good Points

(1) My wife started learning painting??.a lifelong wish of hers!
(2) Though I am not a novice to golf, I picked up many tips from the golf coach, who I believe is very well regarded in the country.
(3) My 2 kids, aged 9 and 5, fell in love with the place. They were literally pampered by the resort staff. They enjoyed the activities around the resort ? paddle boating, coffee plantation trekking, picnic down Cauvery river, etc.
(4) Very friendly staff. We got to know some of them really well over the 5 days we stayed there.
(5) Good vegetarian food that suited our Gujarathi tastes.
(6) Great views; surrounded by nature. Enjoyed the morning walks in the mist (see pic).
(7) The cottage was elegant and well worth the price. We stayed in a duplex villa sort of cottage. It had all amenities including a TataSky connection that kept us in touch with world happenings.
(8) Very feeble mobile signal. This made the once-in-a-year vacation well worth. Who wants to be distributed by office colleagues on a vacation. The wife and kids were overjoyed by this! Needless to say, I had to rely on the hotel landline to stay in touch with my office? but only once a day.
(9) Great Christmas party.


Bad Points

(1) There was a problem in the billing during checkout, though it was immediately rectified as soon as it was brought to the notice.
(2) Hot water is an issue. Though our cottage had geysers, it takes a while to get hot water running.
(3) Please make sure to take detailed directions to the place. We were a bit complacent and ended up wasting about an hour in finding directions to the resort on our way there.


General Comments

A vacation well taken and a wonderful time with my family. We are from north India, and on suggestion of a friend, we discovered Kadkani. The fact that our initial 2 night stay got extended to 4 nights says a lot about the place! Overall, we believe this is one of the best resorts in south India. We intend to keep visiting this place and are already recommending this place to friends and family. We take back many memories of the place and are already missing the tranquility of the place. We look forward to the next vacation at Kadkani.
