We booked this property trusting the Taj brand, expecting their usual high standards, but the whole stay felt like a scam. We reserved three Deluxe Rooms with Sit-out via MakeMyTrip at a high price, based on photos, vouchers, and rules promising air conditioning. Checking their official site confirmed this room type includes AC and matches the listing pictures. However, on arrival, staff refused to provide AC rooms, blaming MakeMyTrip for a "wrong listing." There was no mobile network and the Wi-Fi was down due to a "technical issue," leaving us stranded without support. Worse, all three rooms were next to ongoing construction. Reception paused the work briefly, but a strong toxic chemical smell entered one room, causing severe eye irritation and breathing problems for a family member. They moved that guest to a tent cottage and gave 3,000 hotel credits as compensation, which felt insulting after false advertising, isolation, and health risks. Avoid this place to save your money and protect your family.

What an incredible experience at Tree of Life Shambala, Yercaud! We were two families spending two nights there, and it became a truly unforgettable retreat. The resort is wonderfully situated within a lush orchard filled with mature jackfruit, guava, and fig trees, alongside coffee plantations, pepper vines, and abundant greenery. It felt like being fully surrounded by nature. A heartfelt thanks to Mr. Ravi Sunder, the GM, who personally looked after us during our stay. He took time to guide us around the resort, regularly checked in on us, and ensured we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. His personal attention really made a difference. The heated swimming pool was a big hit with the kids, who loved playing there every day. We also want to highlight the fantastic team members—Singaravelan, Karthick, and the very special Mari—whose warmth, hospitality, and helpfulness enhanced our experience. Overall, Tree of Life Shambala is a wonderful place to unwind, relax, and reconnect with nature and loved ones. The peaceful environment, beautiful orchard, cozy accommodations, and genuinely caring staff made this a very special visit for all of us. Thanks to the whole team for making our two-night stay so memorable. We will surely return!

This is one of the most stunning resorts I've ever visited. It is incredibly peaceful and beautifully set in nature. The staff were very courteous, humble, caring, and warm. When we faced a medical emergency, they were extremely supportive, helping us get medicines and providing exceptional care. Ravi, Jaraman, Mari, and Sudhan took great care of us during our stay and showed genuine concern. They are real assets to the management. Even the security guard, Mr. Bal, was very welcoming. The food felt like home-cooked meals but tasted even better. Chef Sundar was very friendly and hospitable. We definitely plan to return as the experience was truly wonderful. I commend the team for their care, especially when it was most needed. This resort is amazing with a genuinely humane, humble, and organically caring staff.
