Club Mahindra Derby Green, Ooty, is a beautiful heritage property that perfectly captures the old-world charm of the Nilgiris. The resort is well maintained, the rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the overall ambience makes for a relaxing holiday. What stood out most during my stay was the warmth and professionalism of the staff. I did face a few concerns during my visit, but they were handled promptly and effectively by Resort Manager Ravi and Chef Natarajan. Their hands-on approach, attention to detail, and genuine concern for guest satisfaction reflect the strong leadership at the resort. The food was a highlight of the stay. Chef Natarajan’s local specialties are exceptional. The Nilgiri Korma and Bun Parotta were absolutely delicious and gave us an authentic taste of the region. The breakfast buffet was consistently impressive, with dishes like Sambar, Upma, Medu Vada, Pongal, and freshly made Dosas being particularly enjoyable. Room service was equally good. We tried the Non-Veg Combo, and the portion size was huge—easily sufficient for two people. The food was flavourful, freshly prepared, and excellent value for money. Overall, Club Mahindra Derby Green offers a wonderful combination of heritage charm, comfortable accommodation, excellent food, and outstanding hospitality. Special thanks once again to Ravi and Chef Natarajan for making our stay memorable. I look forward to visiting again.
