We had a wonderful stay in Kodai, which was made memorable by our stay in Villa Retreat. The trip started with a complimentary pickup from the bus-stand, and then it just got better. When we arrived at the hotel they gave us Room 108, which had the best view in the place. One window overlooked the garden, and the other... More
