Green Acres Resort

There are hardly any big resorts in kodai, most are small, but Green Acre is relatively spacious resort, have good spacious landscaping and has the advantage of facing the lake, so location is also good. (Most resorts in Kodai are in midst of city, and they are mostly just stand alone buildings with hardly any space) But rooms we stayed were maintained very poorly, very small and stuffy rooms. Didn't have proper balcony. Surprisingly most resort in Kodai have small rooms and does not have balcony. Wish the management take this resort more seriously and maintain it better, then they can definitely command higher rates also.

Referring some negative reviews online , Myself and my family went to Green Lake View resort with minimum expectations and so ended with a not good not bad experience. Its an old property with a sprawling campus close to lake. The room which was allocated to us was old with broken door latches , moderately clean beds. Overall an okay room. Every room has geyser and so hot water anytime will not be a problem. Car parking also good as its a huge campus. The place is managed by one elderly and one mid aged gentlemen who are not concerned about customer reviews and word of mouth and also social media feedbacks. The real saving grace for the place is the young team of room service boys and restaurant staffs who responds to our requests with smiling face and ensures our comfort maximum possible with whatever limited facilities they have. Special mention also has to be given to the alert gate security person who was there at the time of our visit. The kids play area also is partially damaged and resonable maintained.The price fixed for the rooms are too high if booked directly. Consider this place if you are okay with a moderately clean place close to lake and also if you get good discounts through travel websites.

Visited to kodaikanal in month of February 2015 and some how because of greenery and other things we could not stop us by staying there. but that's how it started, major problem we found is the language problem, people does not understand English even we tried to make them understand but no luck. one of my friend tried explain them in local language but no luck. for single order e.g. tea we had to call them 4-5 times. when we reached there we told them that will have dinner here, but at around 9:00 PM when we tried reaching them first over phone and when we visited to kitchen we found it closed already. now imagine on such a small place if no food is available how you will survive specially if you are with family and small kids are with you. second day manager ensure us that this will not repeat so we continued for one more day and seriously that was our greatest mistake. so overall i must say please please avoid stay there.
