Club Mahindra Kandaghat

It was a great experience ,I and my wife ,we were on Holiday at Club mahindra Kandaghat ,shimla from 14th to 15 March .We had planned this trip on occasion of our Martiage anniversary which falls on 14th March.Everything was awesome about the resort.The place,the room ,the food, the infrastructure and above all the nice and courtious staff.I would like to mention the names of Vikram Negi and Vishal Thakur who extended their courtesy beyond expectation. I mean Vishal's hospitality lasted even after leaving the resort.He made our day .Thanks to him and Vikram.Overall our experience was great and beyond expectations.Looking forward to visit again if possible in future.

The experience on reaching was horrible regarding meals. The food was almost finished and there was no one to look after the refill. The Food Manager (Mr Basant Pandey) whose name was written there was missing too. We immediately decided to chk out seeing the horrible state of management. Met the overall Manager Mr Ishan Sharma, who immediately took note of the situation , apologised and called Mr Basant Pandey and appraised him. Mr Pandey showed no regrets leave aside hope of atleast an apology to guest. Finally Mr Ishan Sharma ensured that the food is served in the room. Mr Ishan Sharma thereafter ensured that we had no discomfort thereon and he also not only shared by also responded immediately on his personal no. The food situation was better on rest of the days and the entire credit goes to Mr Ishan Sharma, the serving hosts namely Ms Simran, Mr Mandeep, Mr Vikram Ms Pratap Singh and the bar tender . Despite huge rush and load , these persons were always on their toes with a big smile irrespective of how few foolish spoke to them. Kudos to their service and patience. Even the chef came out all the time asking about taste, flavours and customisation (if needed). But Mr Basant Pandey , whose name is written in colours in the dining area was never seen to be present during breakfast, lunch and dinner time. The indoor activities are limited . Incase good no of people come they don’t have adequate seats, limited game options and even some are chargeable too. There is no pool in the property. You have to wit for 10-15 mts for cart to arrive to pic you up so keep that margin in time. The room was beautiful with balcony . The room was well clean but for 2 days no one picked up the used cutlery from outside the room despite staff moving around and despite CCTVs around. That was really bad and unhygienic ! The Cocktails were well made, reasonably priced and served with a smile. Overall it was a relaxing holiday with everything well organised and well serviced and for that the big credit goes to Mr Ishan Sharma (Manager) who settled us in good way. Infact He was always seen taking care of all customer needs and at one stage we even almost decided to take membership. However the behaviour and conduct of Mr Basant Pandey made us decide NOT TO OPT FOR CLUBE MAHENDRA MEMBERSHIP as we did not want to stuck for another 25 yrs under his failed care and services and would rather like to enjoy other resorts on that belt as well. One star deducted as a token of Thanks to non-regretful Manager Mr Basant Pandey

This was our fist experience with club mahendra...and they have left us with memories that will be with us forever. The location...the weather...the facilities and especially the staff made our stay even better than we expected...this place has all the activities you require to spend the entire day in the resort itself...from the kids outdoor play area...indoor activities.. like karaoke...drawings...group activities..board games...table tennis... billiards.. PlayStation...hiking...zip lining...paint ball and even cricket. A special mention to Mr Mandeep and his team who went out of their way to make our stay extra extra special. You guys are doing a great job...and we can easily say it makes this place one of the best resorts in the country... Thank you and All the best..

The food is extremely delicious and I love the flavour of all food and chef Shivratan sir is very humble and have extremely well serviced us and served us a special dish out of the menu which is famous in locals of Himachal which was very delicious and mouthwatering. Every thing was good especially Pani puri, khichri, Lauki ka halwa and all sweets.

Not that satisfied with the property....but i truly appreciatr the services of chef shivratan....the guy has been really courteous and helpful....but they charge you for every small thing.....but happy hub staff is fun..............

**Review of Club Mahindra Kandaghat Resort** My stay at Club Mahindra Kandaghat Resort in Shimla was an absolute delight, offering a perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and warm hospitality. Nestled amidst the serene Shivalik hills, this resort is a haven for families and nature lovers, with its sprawling property surrounded by lush greenery and breathtaking mountain views. **Rooms**: Earlier we stayed in Studio room and later shifted into a 1BR room. The rooms, whether Studio or 1 Bedroom, are spacious, elegantly decorated, and equipped with modern amenities. The plush beds, tasteful decor in soothing shades, and private balconies with stunning valley views made our stay incredibly comfortable. Watching the sunset from our room was a highlight, creating a serene and rejuvenating atmosphere. **Restaurants & Dining**: The dining experience at the resort is exceptional. *Fundining*, a multi-cuisine gem, offers an extensive buffet with Indian, Oriental, Italian, and Continental dishes. Must-try dishes like Rosemary Chicken Tikka and Fish curry were bursting with flavor, and the vegetarian Himanchali thali was equally delightful. The live music with open air dining on Saturday nights was exceptional and engaging . What truly elevated our dining experience was the outstanding hospitality of the restaurant staff, **SNEHA** and **KIRANDEEP**. Their warm, friendly demeanor and attentiveness made every meal special. They went above and beyond to ensure our preferences were met, always serving with a smile that made us feel right at home. **Bar Experience**: The bar at the resort was another highlight, thanks to the talented bartender **HEMPRAKASH**. His expertise in crafting drinks, paired with his engaging personality, made our evenings at the bar memorable. Hemprash’s warm hospitality and knack for recommending the perfect cocktail added a fun and personalized touch to our experience. **Fun Zone & Activities**: The *Fun Zone* is a fantastic addition, especially for families. It’s packed with enthusiastic staff who organize engaging activities like dance classes, crafting, and games for all ages. The billiards table and other entertainment options kept everyone entertained. The sunset point and herb garden walks were perfect for unwinding amidst nature. **Overall Experience**: The resort’s serene location, just 25 km from Shimla, makes it an ideal escape from the hustle and bustle. The staff’s hospitality, particularly Sneha, Kirandeep, and Hemprash, stood out as exceptional, making us feel like valued guests. While some reviews mention that food prices are high, the quality and variety justified the cost for us. The only minor downside was occasional slow service but this didn’t detract from our overall experience. Club Mahindra Kandaghat is a must-visit for a relaxing yet fun-filled getaway. The combination of luxurious rooms, delectable dining, vibrant activities, and heartfelt hospitality ensures memories that linger long after you leave.
