Staying at this resort spa was an absolute delight! The location on the banks of the river offered peaceful views, and the staff went above and beyond to make my stay memorable. The dining experience was fantastic with fresh, delicious meals, although getting from some of the rooms to the main facilities did require a bit of walking. The Ayurvedic massage I had was undoubtedly one of the highlights. All in all, a great place to unwind and recharge.

The Ideal River View Resort offers a decent stay, highlighted by its beautiful views of the Cauvery River and well-maintained grounds. The staff was very attentive, and the buffet meals were substantial, though the dining experience could be a bit chaotic during peak times. The rooms, while clean, felt somewhat dated and lacked privacy in the bathrooms. Overall, it's a comfortable escape, but not ideally suited for those seeking a unique local experience.

The accommodations were clean and comfortable, and the staff was incredibly helpful, offering excellent dining suggestions. The only downside was that there were a few minor supply issues during my stay, but overall, it was a delightful experience with fresh and tasty food.
