The Windflower Jungle Resort & Spa, Bandipur

Beautiful place & great team to host. F&B Manager Kartik Captain Shiva, Staff Subramanayam, Sunil all were very courteous & ensured our experience is great. Chef-Food was excellent with the choices-anyone visiting must take American Plan..they serve excellent food.

We stayed here during our family holiday, and let’s just say it was an experience I wouldn’t recommend to any. The rooms were fnot well maintained and clean, they had a unique bad aroma. Oh, and there were plenty of lizard droppings to remind you that you're really living in the wild. The towels were old, dusty, The bathroom walls had what appeared to be a new species of black mold, and the fixtures? Falling apart faster than my hope of ever having a relaxing holiday. Now, I get it — rustic is a thing. But this wasn’t rustic; this was more like "we forgot to clean anything. " The pathways between rooms and the main block were less "charming and more "nature’s reclamation project. And don’t even get me started on the price. The rooms cost more than my last vacation… and that one actually had walls that stayed up. The swimming pool was just a giant puddle of disappointment, But, hey, on the bright side, the food was surprisingly good! It was tasty and traditional — the only thing at the resort that didn’t make me want to cry. The restaurant was a cozy, rustic affair, though it doubled as a petting zoo. Cats and insects roamed freely, like they owned the place, and the staff seemed to be on a let them be campaign. So if you're looking for a wild experience in Bandhipur, this resort might just be for you — just make sure you bring your own towels and maybe some insect repellent!

This is a magical place to stay. Coupled with a safari where we saw a leopard stalking deer, lots of elephants, a mongoose, and multiple birds and other animals, I was an experience I will not forget. I loved the accommodation, which is in keeping with the environment. The food was great and the buffet style meant you can choose from a wide selection. Swimming in the pool early in the morning as the sun came up was very special.
