Jungle Retreat Resort

Lawn's and room are good but fountains in bad shape,also parking space needs to be built

It's a great place for families to enjoy, offering a pleasant atmosphere .

Perfect place surrounded by nature ! It is a great spot to relax and enjoy in jungle vibes. We a group of friends visited on weekend. The Dorm was clean and well maintained. Food was just awesome. Both Veg and Non-veg preparations are tasty. Ambience was amazing. Completely surrounded by greenery. Swimming pool was huge & clean. Lots of games to play in game room. One can find pool table, carrom, table tennis, fussball [table football] & soo on. The kitchen staff was supportive and provided the perfect food with perfect taste. Also the owner, manager & other staff was supportive & are of helping nature. There are many spots in the resort for photo lovers for capturing Memories. Right from the Almighty Ganpati Bappa to Swinging Bridge to Lush Green surrounding everything was perfect. Overall Best Experience. Thank You Jungle Retreat Resort for making our trip stunning and memorable.

The property is spread over acres of land and is very vast. Well maintained and has a lot to offer! Rooms are massive,well furnished, reasonably cleaned ( did spot cob webs) and comfortable!||We were a group of 12 and it took them an afternoon to settle as all. Staff serving in the rooms seem very inexperienced but were very quick to learn and accommodate our needs. Service definitely is slow but a little effort from our end to go up to reception with our request rather than phoning was definitely fruitful. ||The assistant manger Jasmit Khopragade was excellent in looking after our requirements. Nothing was too much for him. As we had to leave for our safari at 1 pm we were served with a early lunch at 12.15, which we had requested a day earlier. It was a full spread and well prepared. ||We were served with 4 meals a day which included breakfast, lunch, high tea and dinner. Overall meals were average. All meals were freshly prepared and served on time. ||I feel it is a two way process, if we treat the staff well they will serve you well!||The manager at the resort Mr Jeevan is doing a fantastic job against all odds! One has to understand that hospitality industry is recovering from a huge catastrophic situation and staffing is a huge issue. Now that things are better hoping trained staff can be employed. ||Overall I would definitely rate this place as good and would revisit the place given the opportunity.

Beautiful property ruined it's charm just because of pathetic Management Team. Specially, a so called Manager is very rude in nature. Very poor food service, it took 2 hours to get our breakfast. And taste is also very bad. Too much oil in food, two of our dishes is with heavy salt.. Poor quality food and when complaint to manager, he was saying.. This is the food we serve.. If you want to eat then eat or your choice..

One of our friends had their school class reunion at this place a few years back, and they liked it. |When they suggested this place we agreed.|Jungle Retreat Resort is a place back of beyond, near a village called Thana. |Though called "Jungle Retreat Resort" there are no jungle safaris nor any Jungle around. There is no jungle.|If you need a place to simply chill out, it MAY be a place for you. |We had reached much before the check-in time. It was nice of Management to offer us one room to all of us to relax till the check-in time.|The property is nicely landscaped. A fibreglass/cement rocky tunnel has been constructed where the rocks look quite real! An idol of Lord Ganesha has been installed on this rocky structure. Looks nice & beautiful. |Plenty of trees flanking the pathways of the property. Fair-sized pond with a swinging bridge and with circular firm platform in the middle of the swinging bridge. Quite a few goldfish in the pond are seen only when near you and near the surface as the water in the pond is quite dirty. |There is a centrally located circular gazebo near the pond. Nice place to sit around.|There are swimming pools, one shallow for the kids and the other with 5 Feet of depth all around. Changing and shower rooms for gents and ladies are again modelled to look like a rocky hill and caves. It was either drizzling or threatening to rain so we did not go for a swim, but the pool water did not look too clean. |Twin-sharing cottages looked ok. Each of them has been named. Our cottage was called Bahubali. There is a verandah which can be used as a sit-out. The room is quite spacious, with a small attached place with sofa sets where people can sit around. The bathroom was OK. Some thing new. There was an "Open Air Bathroom". We stayed only for one night, and did not try out this novelty.| Normally the hotels which charge similar tariffs, provide an electric kettle and complimentary tea, coffee, milk powder and sugar sachets, Miniature bottles of Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and moisturiser. Also disposable shaving kit and toothbrush & toothpaste. Such hotels in breakfast offer seasonal fruits, hot milk with choices for porridge and other items like juices, egg preparations, veg items etc. |In Jungle Retreat, they provided a Toothbrush and paste, Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, all in dispensers. In dispensers, one has no idea of the origin or the quality of the contents. There was no moisturiser at all.|In Jungle Retreat, the breakfast next morning was a total fiasco. More about it later. |A typical local cuisine vegetarian lunch and non-vegetarian dinner was served. Service and food was satisfactory. After dinner, despite our reluctance, the staff insisted on serving us extra plates of rasgullas. On our continued refusal, they owned up they wanted "tips" hence the offer for extra sweet. |While at dinner we were also asked whether we wanted an omelette & bread or an Indian dish like uppma/ poha etc. We told them we wanted "OMLETTE & BREAD FOR BREAKFAST".|At the same time, I asked them to provide me with an electric kettle and wherewithals to prepare tea/ coffee in the morning as I get up very early, around 4:30/ 5:00 am and need a cup of tea/ coffee before getting ready to go for my morning walk. Others wanted the tea/ coffee after 6 AM. They did not provide us with an electric kettle because they ASSURED us to provide, tea/ coffee at WHICHEVER TIME WE WANTED IT TO BE SERVED.|The next morning, 4:30 came and went, and 5:00 came and went, but there was no sign of tea or coffee. I got ready and went to the restaurant to check what was going on. there was not a soul to be found. Gradually, everyone was awake and ringing up/ going around in search of tea/ coffee or the staff. Could not find either the staff or tea/coffee. Eventually, around 8 AM we were told there was no milk and offered black tea/coffee if we wanted it. |Around 9:AM went for breakfast. We were served an omelette but no bread/toast. We were informed that THERE WAS NO BREAD AVAILABLE IN THE HOTEL. This was a ridiculous, appalling, and totally unacceptable state of affairs for any sort of establishment in the hospitality business particularly in the case of Jungle Retreat Resort which is charging such a high tariff. This was totally unacceptable and arguments ensued. Eventually "Aloo Sabjee and Parotha" were served to us as breakfast. All this while there was NO sign of tea or Coffee. |We were not served a single cup of tea or coffee from the time we got up at 4:30 AM till 11:00 AM. As we were checking out We were told that milk had been brought from Umred town to provide us with tea/coffee. |By then we were so fed up that none of us took any! |Management came out with mitigating circumstances. As the Resort has been operating in the same locality area for a very long time, the reasons given were not acceptable to us. Alternate arrangements/ and provisioning are a must and should have been thought of by the management.| For the facilities, services and food provided, which were all average, and the fiasco on checkout day, management did not have the decency to even offer us any discount for the inconvenience and mental/ physical harassment caused. |At Jungle Retreat Resort one does not get value for money.||

We were a group of 20 plus people who enjoyed this beautiful property. I must say that the resort looks green and well maintained. The rooms are big and can accommodate a family of 4. The swimming pool is well maintained and our dance party was quite enjoyable too. We were unhappy with the service. They don't have room service and neither do they have a kettle in the room which is a pre requisite for all hotels now, I feel. They promised tea /coffee from 6am onwards but we were told that since the cook is asleep, we had to wait till 8. Very shocking response considering this is 'hospitality' industry. They do not compromise on any addition to the menu for lunch...something as simple as anda curry was also denied. The food is very oily and not that tasty either.
