Info Summary of reviewsVilla Retreat - Boutique Hotel, located in the picturesque town of Kodaikanal, is highly lauded for its exceptional balance between convenience and scenic beauty. Perched on a cliff, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding hills and valleys, making it an ideal spot for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts. Its strategic position next to major attractions like Coaker's Walk, Bryant Park and Kodaikanal Lake means that guests can conveniently explore the town while still enjoying a serene, peaceful retreat.

Breakfast at Villa Retreat consistently receives praise for its delicious and high-quality offerings, served in a scenic location that adds to the dining experience. Guests appreciate the variety and taste of the morning meals, albeit some find the menu a bit repetitive. The friendly and fast service further enhances the positive dining experience.

Dinner services are also well-regarded for their exceptional taste and quality with many guests describing the food as excellent and flavorful. The dining ambiance is applauded, especially the settings with open and closed spaces and a live fireplace. However, some guests have noted that the dinner menu can be on the pricier side and there were a few comments about the slower service and limited variety.

Rooms at the hotel receive mixed feedback. While many guests appreciate the cleanliness, neatness and comfort, especially in the Signature and family suites with their spaciousness and stunning views, some find the smaller rooms cramped and lacking essential amenities. The vintage charm of the rooms, especially those with fireplaces, adds to the overall delightful experience. However, the older furniture, limited room lighting and average bathroom conditions are areas where improvements could be made.

Cleanliness is a strong point for Villa Retreat with numerous guests commending the spotless and well-maintained rooms and general environment. Occasional minor issues such as foul smells in some bathrooms and a dirty rug were mentioned, but overall, the standard of cleanliness significantly contributes to a pleasant stay.

The staff at Villa Retreat are frequently praised for their exceptional kindness, helpfulness and courteousness. The team is noted for their professional and welcoming demeanor, enhancing the overall guest experience with excellent customer service and attentive care. Although there was a minor issue with arranging a quick pickup from the bus stand, the overwhelming sentiment towards the staff remains highly positive.

One area that could see improvement is the free WiFi service, which is currently only available in the reception area and noted to be slow. Guests often have to use the lobby to get online and suggest that extending WiFi coverage to the rooms would greatly enhance their stay.

In summary, Villa Retreat - Boutique Hotel offers a beautiful, convenient and serene setting complemented by excellent breakfast and good overall dining experiences, clean and comfortable accommodations and outstanding staff service. With some improvements in room size and amenities and better WiFi coverage, the guest experience could be even more remarkable.
