The Serai Bandipur is set in a beautiful location, perfect for nature lovers, with fantastic views from the log huts. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped, providing a comfortable stay. While the staff is friendly and helpful, the service, especially room service, can be quite slow, which detracts from the overall experience. The dining options were good but could improve in variety, especially during low occupancy. Overall, it offers good value for a tranquil getaway amidst nature.

My stay at Serai Bandipur was a mix of great nature experiences and frustrating service. The location in the jungle is stunning and perfect for wildlife enthusiasts, but the road leading to the resort is in terrible shape. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, but some amenities, like prompt room service, fell short of expectations. Dining options were decent, though the experience was often marred by slow service. It's an enjoyable getaway if you're prepared for some inconveniences.
