Puttur, Karnataka hotel rooms at the Independent

"If you've had your fill of manicured gardens and fake waterbodies, time to step out to Aavarana for an authentic tryst with nature in its raw beauty. Backed by customer friendly service, simple home cooked food and accompanied by great natural vistas. But be aware - the access isn't as friendly. The internet is patchy and there's no TV. On the other hand, this could be the perfect detox for our digital weary minds."

"Amazing property , really great service . We had a great time , the waterfalls and the landscape was simply mesmerizing . I had taken the meals package and the spread is mind blowing . Only one small issue we faced was that there was frequent power switches which might be a little irritating especially if you are watching something on TV. Also Monsoon , while the property looks amazing .. not much activities to do due to the rain."

"Heritage Resort Coorg is a stunner of a property in terms of location and beauty. It is lush green with beautifully maintained outdoors and gardens. The rooms are well appointed and comfortable. I must particularly compliment the staff for their helpfulness, politeness and courtesy. The view from the room is memorable and the monsoons added to the charm. "

"Beautiful property with excellent restaurants and hikes . Very good staff "

"AC and WiFi connection was not working during check-In. AC got repaired by Evening and got Wi-Fi comnection next day morning. Property is in good condition and swimming pool is also maintained."

"Wonderfully built with lots of spaces to relax and chill.Pool,backwaters and beach are accessible and lots of activities are offered.They have a great spa and fitness centre but hardly anyone was using it.Evening tea by the poolside was very well laid out and plentiful.Food was good with plenty of choices.Very plush villa we stayed in which had a plunge pool and swing and indoor and outdoor showers.Our only issue was that they really discourage swimming in the sea which we were looking forward to and thought we could have."

"A very nice resort with beautiful scenery, excellent food and very attentive staff— a perfect place to just chill and enjoy the serene surroundings "

"Exceptional hotel "

"Stay was peaceful. However, the food price, mainly the buffet lunch/ dinner is costing Rs. 2.5K per person. Any the hotel charges extra for room service (30% of the food order), which we felt was unfair."
