In the heart of nature:
Recently my wife and I travelled and enjoyed a very nice and comfortable stay at your Gangtok resort. I would sincerely recommend this place for all our members to try out.
The resort’s staff is superb, very professional and extremely warm and compassionate.
I would specially like to thank the resort manager for his warm and caring nature. He is the best resort manager I have met in all my travels till now.
Kudos Club Mahindra! Keep up the good work!

Lovely times
My wife Jilmil and I had a great time at the Goa Resort, which was our first visit to the state. We hired a bike to travel all over North and South Goa, a really wonderful experience. It was tragic that I met with an accident, which hampered our holiday. However, the security in the resort was very helpful during this time. As a result of the accident, we spent most of our time in our room. During this period, we were invited to the Carnival, which turned out to be a very entertaining night.
However, our favourite was certainly the Valentine’s Day celebrations. We had specially booked for the event and were overwhelmed by the warm welcome we received when we arrived at the venue. We were given flowers, entertained with songs and dance performances and also treated to some fun games. In another twist, Jilmil and I were announced the Best Romantic Couple of the evening. We would like to thank Piya for arranging such a great programme, Suman for being so polite and helpful and Sachin for his Chicken Avatar. This Valentine’s Day will always be special for us.

Wonderful holidays
We chose the Whispering Pines resort in Shimla for our holiday a few months back. It was a thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing stay. We entertained ourselves with some great games of table tennis and chess. In the evening, all the visiting families gathered together and we had fun getting to know each other and sharing stories, while enjoying the games and activities arranged for our entertainment. The only time we stepped out of the resort was for a night trip to Naldehra. We also relished the delicious meals. We had stayed at Gables about eight years ago and the changes that have been made in the hotel since then are worthy of appreciation.

Twofold fun
I recently visited your Goa Varca Beach resort with my wife and my naughty son Sohum and followed it up with a trip to the Munnar resort. Both the resorts are excellent and very different from each other. While the first feels like a peaceful haven, the second is more adventurous. They are certainly among the most beautiful places I had ever been to. The services, cleanliness and hospitality in both the resorts are par excellence. We had planned to do some sightseeing at both the places but after staying in the resorts, we cancelled most of our plans and enjoyed some memorable activities in the resorts.
All the best Club Mahindra!

Romantic getaway
We decided to choose the Club Mahindra resorts in Dharamshala, Shimla and Manali for our first wedding anniversary. That was about six months ago and the entire area promised to make our special occasion a memorable one. But what we got in Kangra Valley truly exceeded our expectations. It was a wonderful experience. We were overwhelmed and completely touched with the lovely surprises arranged for us, like the decorated room, the Valentine’s Day party and the special candlelit dinner. We received great service from the management headed by Mr. Mahesh and his team. The service was truly out of the world.
The entire experience made us feel at home. We will always remember this pleasant experience and the time we spent here.

Happy holidays!
I went with my wife and daughter to Munnar for a three-day vacation and I must confess that our stay was amazing and comparable to any international resort. We stayed in a log hut, which had a great view. Though the huts were at a good height, the regular transport made travel very simple. The rooms looked out at gorgeous tea gardens and the lake. The staff was also very courteous and helpful, including several trainees who performed many fun-filled activities. The activity room had everything, from great music to toys for my baby daughter.
I loved the bar and the dining area, which served a superb feast both at dinner and breakfast. We also took a tour to the highest tea factory in the world, an adventurous and somewhat dangerous trip made easy by our skilled driver and guide
We have travelled to the Munnar, Binsar, Mussourie, Goa, Thailand and Pattaya Club Mahindra resorts as well as to the Las Vegas, Orlando and Montreal RCI resorts. All of them were superb and I must say that joining Club Mahindra was the best decision we made in 2007.
