Our stay at The Sarai Bandipur was a fantastic experience. The resort is spacious, with large rooms and an excellent view from the restaurant, located peacefully close to the jungle. We frequently saw deer and elephants nearby, and even deer within the resort grounds in the morning. The service was a highlight; the staff is incredibly friendly, humble, and always ready to help. The food was also very good, especially the breakfast buffet with its wide variety and live cooking stations. We highly recommend The Sarai Bandipur for anyone seeking a peaceful escape with great hospitality and a true connection to nature.

We recently stayed at The Serai Bandipur for one night to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Overall, our experience was enjoyable, but there are some areas that can be improved to provide a truly five-star experience. **Pros:** - The property is beautifully maintained and gives a premium feel throughout our stay.[1] - The rooms are clean and comfortable, making for a relaxing environment.[1] - Staff members were well-behaved, courteous, and attentive.[1] - Birthday decorations in the room were thoughtfully arranged and much appreciated.[1] **Cons:** - The TV in the room is outdated; upgrading to an Android TV would be a small investment that makes a big difference in guest comfort.[1] - The AC in our room was not functioning properly and made the stay less comfortable during warmer parts of the day.[1] - Food was below average compared to expectations for a property of this standard; even after speaking with the chef, the taste and quality were not up to the mark.[1] - The restaurant area was uncomfortably hot; it would be helpful if windows were opened or the air conditioning was used as needed.[1] - The birthday cake provided was also below average and not in line with Serai’s usual standards.[1] Overall, we liked the attention to detail in property upkeep and staff hospitality. With improvements in food quality and some in-room amenities, the Serai Bandipur can deliver an even more memorable experience.

Well maintained property. Staff is hospitable and kind. Food is good. Location is great, peacocks, deer, hare roam around the property. A lot of variety of birds can be spotted in the resort. We stayed with family and had a great stay. Can improve with newer board games to keep kids engaged.
