Very Disappointing Experience – Not Worth the Money!My experience at Mango Hill Resort was very disappointing. We paid 14,826 for the room, which is extremely expensive considering the overall experience. The food cost us an additional 4,000, but it was a complete waste of money for the quality and experience we received.The activities were also disappointing and did not meet our expectations. For this price, we expected better facilities, enjoyable activities, quality food, and a premium resort experience. Unfortunately, the overall experience did not justify the amount we spent.Spending nearly 19,000 on a stay like this was not worth it at all. The management should seriously reconsider the pricing and improve the food quality, activities, and overall guest experience.I would not recommend this resort to anyone looking for value for money. Very disappointed with the experience!

I had a very pleasant stay in Mango Hill Shola Resort calm and wonderful gateway in Ooty. Highly recommend this place.Suggestion: Management should make more awareness about food wastage, it’s guest’s responsibility to take what they can eat. I have seen lot of food wastage.Superman: I would like to mention about Syed who works in restaurant here, just thanks are not enough for his helpful nature, we needed urgent medicine and obviously everything was closed by that time, he made an arrangement of medicine by calling his family members to buy.Everyone who works here tries their best to make guests have wonderful stay here, thank you all

Overall, we had a good stay, mainly because of the beautiful views, peaceful location and clean surroundings. However, I feel the property has a lot of potential but is currently not making the most of it.What we likedThe views are beautiful and probably the biggest highlight of the property.The location is peaceful and away from the crowded parts of Ooty.The resort surroundings are clean and well maintained.The food is decent, although not exceptional.Swiggy and Zomato are allowed, which is a big plus because the resort food is relatively expensive and there are limited options, especially for lunch.Buggy service is available to take guests around the property.What could be improvedBalcony: Most rooms and suites do not have a private balcony. Only the villas have balconies. Considering the beautiful views, balconies in more room categories would significantly improve the experience.Low water pressure: The bathroom water pressure was quite low. This is especially noticeable with the bathtub, which takes a long time to fill, so it is difficult to properly enjoy the bathtub.Room mats: There were no proper floor mats in the room, which is inconvenient in Ooty's cold and sometimes wet weather.Toiletries: Shampoo and conditioner were not provided. Only shower gel was available. For a resort in this category, I expected better basic toiletries.Bonfire: The bonfire area is quite small and can accommodate only around 20 people. Since seating is limited, getting a place depends on your luck. The bonfire itself also felt quite basic.Restaurant service: The food was okay, but the service needs improvement. The restaurant started removing food items at closing time even when guests were still eating, without informing them beforehand that the restaurant was about to close. A simple announcement would have been much better.Breakfast communication: There was no reminder or call if guests were still sleeping during breakfast hours. In Ooty's cold weather, guests may naturally wake up late, so a simple reminder would be helpful.Buggy service: Buggy service is available from reception to other areas, but there was no buggy service from the restaurant back to reception, which can be inconvenient.Activities: The property has beautiful surroundings but does not have enough proper activities to keep guests engaged. It has the potential to be a resort where you can spend the whole day without leaving, but currently there is not enough to do.Food tipI would recommend taking a breakfast + dinner package rather than relying on room dining. For lunch, having Swiggy/Zomato available is very useful because you get more options and the resort's food is relatively expensive.Final thoughtsOverall, we enjoyed our stay because of the beautiful views, peaceful location and clean surroundings. The property has a lot of potential, but the service, amenities and activities need improvement to match the experience you would expect from a resort in this category. Also better go in monsoon season to enjoy best views.I would recommend it mainly for the views and location, but with some improvements, this could be a much better resort experience.
