Vanashree Holiday Resort

The location is Good, Free Parking, In-door games section, even the bedroom is kinda cool. Maintained greenery along with different types of flower and bush. Most liked: * Rooms and overall cleanliness * Location(main road) * Free Parking with sufficient space * Swimming Pool Least liked: * WiFi is not available(although they provide Cable connection for TV but still one needs Internet availability)

The resort is very good and calm. Right on main road and yet very quiet which is a positive side. They had everything as mentioned i.e. swimming pool, table tennis, carrom etc. And also their rates were reasonable. Only thing is they didn't offer us tea or breakfast or any meal facility stating that the resort was otherwise empty and they couldn't arrange it for just 2 guests. Restaurants are available right across the resort. So wasn't that big a discomfort. Resort is safe for families and couples as well. So highly recommended. Would like to visit again!

Very good resort at cheapest rate. All staff is very humble. Service is very good and fast enough. Owner is also very kind. If you are planning something different within resort then staff will assist you. Swimming pool is big enough to play in it. Place is very clean and decent. Perfect for family as well as for friends.

Very clean and specious rooms,They serve very tasty food. Overall Nice place to have Peaceful vacation with family. Caretaker is very attentive. Location is Near to market. Jungle safari is available.

Had visited this place on a ride. Good place with nice views and a little playground for kids. The food is home like. Rooms are clean and balcony had a great view. The staff is friendly and helpful. Has a covered parking space for our big bikes.. a nice getaway for a couple of days.||Just be aware of the monkeys if ur room has a tree around, they do pick stuff if kept unattended.

The Vanashree Holiday Resort is an awesome place in Amba which is about 60 KMs from Kolhapur on Kolhapur-Ratnagiri Highway. The resort place is good with nice views and have little playground for kids.||||Rooms are specious and decently maintained. There is also room for group of 6-8 members with decent charges. Just be aware of the monkeys if your room has a tree around, they do pick stuff if kept unattended. Gas geysers are installed in few rooms, they do provide hot water on request. ||||The owner Mr. Deshpande is good in nature and personally speaks and looks after the guest. The Staff at Vanashree is good, friendly and their service is also good.||||They do provide breakfast, lunch and dinner. Overall food quality is good for both veg and non-veg. Only the thing is that you have to pre-order it.||||Sightseeing/Jungle Safari is arranged on request with extra cost. The safari on Jeep roof is worth visiting. Meandering through the thick forest of Amba- Vishalgad road and a visit to Pavankhind of Baji Prabhu Deshpande is absolutely not to be missed. A must visit places are Amba ghat (8 KM from resort) and the Marleshwar (Mahadev) temple and Marleshwar waterfall which is around 30 KM from resort.||||A best place to visit in any season, but specially in monsoon it's out of the world experience, with thick fog descending on the entire village making the feeling of "cutoff from the world " all the more predominant.

Booking : did a phone booking and paid advance online. Hassel free process. Spoke to owner Mr. Deshpande who sounded very helpful and offered big room since I was traveling with family with 6 months old baby and toddler.||Location : Easy to locate. On Amba- Ratnagiri highway.||Property : Though its called as resort but would say its more of a home stay than resort. Room that we stayed was big enough to accomodate 3 adults and 2 kids. with basic furniture, it also had freeze , ac ( which we didnt switched on as weather was cold ) and flat screen tv (not led/lcd ). There were total 3 beds ( 1 double and 2 single).Toilet was clean and hot water waa available 24*7. They also have small play area but nothing to rave about.||Staff : Multitalented ppl who do cooking, housekeeping etc. No complaints about them.||Food : Package that I took included lunch,dinner and breakfast. Food was really good. Simple and homely. They only have veg or nonveg thali. Nonveg thali consisted of chicken, egg masala,tambada rassa ( really good) ,rice, chapati and solkadhi. Food remains samein lunch and dinner for nonveg and in veg they do change the subji. However in bf theybdont serve variety. Pohe,upama and bread egg were only option.||unlike other resorts they dont offer any activities like jungle safari, vaanbhojan etc. but they would arrange a jeep if you plan to go for safari, pawankhind etc. ||verdict : Good place to stay for 1 or 2 days if you plan to visit the nearby places on your own.

Resort is located very close to main road and easy to find. It is very quiet place, staff is helpful and good quality food (veg and non veg) is available here. Go for simple homely food rather than Punjabi food here. Well maintained Swimming tank is available for guests. Hotel manager can arrange jeep for jungle safari. Best time to visit this place is rainy season and after Diwali.
