Our experience was great, breakfast buffet was very delicious, the housekeeping service was excellent, Naintara and bobby made my sister's birthday special by decorating our room and surprising her.

We had booked suite room for our 10th wedding anniversary, and must say it was worth the time spent there. Suite room has jacuzzi and its the best in this price point. Staff here had arranged ballons and towel decor for our room, they also arranged mocktails and cake for our dinner celebration. Would like to Thank the staff for being so thoughtful and friendly. Special thanks to Hetram (manager), Satinder (staff) Avnish (staff) and chef Rajesh.
Swimming pool is also good, though we did not use it, saw a group enjoying in the pool playing games.
They also have indoor games room.
Food was really good but a bit expensive.
Overall a good experience.
Thank you for the memories.

The suite was absolutely fantastic! Our suite was a perfect escape! The spacious living room with its cozy balcony offered stunning views. The bedroom was a haven of comfort with all the necessary amenities. A highlight was the luxurious bathtub in the attached washroom. The additional washroom was a practical touch. The huge TV in the living room was perfect for relaxation.
The poolside treehouse was a unique and refreshing experience. The swimming pool was well-maintained and inviting.
Meraki Restaurant offered a delicious variety of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. The staff was friendly and attentive.
The banquet hall and lawn area seemed perfect for events, though we didn't use them.
Overall, a wonderful stay! Highly recommend this gem in Lonavala!

Our stay at Arova woods was pleasant. We got an early checkin with few hassles though . Staff was courteous and helpful specially Satendra , Sarthak and Kajal they were on toes for room service or to shift luggage . Food was also good . Room sizes are okay ( bit small for the price range ) . Property is well located near to main market so easily accessible .Parking is bit congested and they dont have valet services . They don’t have much activities other then a small pool and few games. Overall a good leisure experience.

We, family of 7 people stayed for 5 days during Christmas 2024 at this hotel. We had a fabulous time staying here. It is a medium size resort having 7-8 villas. Each villa has a suite on the ground floor and 2 deluxe rooms on the first floor. All having nice balcony to sit out. There is a well mainted swimming pool and cozy restaurant with old world charm. The resort is very peaceful as located slighly away from main road.
Service of the entire staff is excellent. They go out of the way to make our stay most comfortable. Front desk - Aditya and all his college are very efficent and attending with a smiling face. Chef Chandi specially prepared dishes for our 9 years grand daugter. House keeping team is available all the time promptly.
There are so much positive vibes in this property that we want to come back and stay again asap. Strongly recommanded if you are looking for a homely feeling with trees and greenery all around.

We had our company offsite here for 2 Nights 3 days. The 2 most amazing things about this property is the location & food. It's is bang in the middle of Lonavala town and just a 5 mins walk from the main market. 10 min walk from the railway station. Yet it is beautifully quiet and serene once you walk into the lush green environment of the property. The food is almost unbelievably good for a small property like this. The buffet spread was really huge in almost all meals. Each and every dish is really scrumptious and right up to the standard of a 5* in quality. The service is also great
Highly recommended for all both family & company offsite

Situated in the market of lonavala, this cute and cozy little nook of a resort is a must stay in my opinion. Its humble staff and luxurious rooms with the best service are the highlight of this place. We set up a cute little brunch by the pool and it was the best way to celebrate the weekend. It’s a must visit with friends and family or even for a solo trip. The rooms are huge and oh so divine. The beds are super comfy and one just can’t force themselves out of it. The food is amazing as well and I most definitely enjoyed my trip and will recommend all to visit once.
