Abad Whispering Palms

Simply Awesome !!! Authentic to their very status category as a Hotel. Carried plenty a distinguished memorable moments with me back to my home country Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 Thank you Ayesha, my beloved Indian pal for taking me to the Hotel and treating me like a Queen 🤗 Ayesha, is a part of the ABAD family, the owners of ABAD Hotel Group. Highly recommend 👍

The location of this hotel is amazing and the staff are very friendly. However, the beds were the most uncomfortable I have ever experienced, consisting of a worn sprung mattress on a wooden box. Pillows were not that comfortable either and the bedding looked very tired. Sadly I did not get much sleep for the 2 nights we stayed here. The pool is lovely, however there was only 1 parasol available and not enough sun beds, so it was not very comfortable for our group of 21 people. When someone asked about parasols, they were advised they were damaged in a monsoon! There is no air conditioning in reception and dining room, just ceiling fans so it was quite uncomfortable at meal times. Our room did not get serviced during our stay so I had to ask someone for extra bottled water. We did a lovely sunrise boat trip from the hotel. There is also a spa on site offering treatments at a good price, however don’t expect the luxury of western spas.

Pros: 1. Swimming pool is well maintained. 2. The lake view from the resort is awesome. 3. Cleanliness is maintained inside the rooms. 4. Resort staff have good behavior. Cons: 1. No plain blankets are available here. All they have is heavy rajaais, which are normally used in cold places like Uttarakhand. 2. There is no wash basin inside the room even after being a cottage. For every smaller washes like hand wash, tea cup wash, you have to open the hard auto-closing door and go to washroom to wash them. 3. The resort shouldn't have chosen this area as the road to reach the resort is very narrow. Driving is too difficult here even for the expert drivers as the wider trucks also pass on this same road. 4 Commode water spills outside. 5. The cottages do not have enough clothe drying stands/racks. 6. The brightness of the electric light is insufficient in the cottages. Though there is a balcony through which the natural light enters into the cottage, it is difficult to make over or dress up if we want to proceed anywhere early in the morning. 7.. The cottages are not women friendly. Because the standing mirror inside the room (to dress up) does not have backlights. The mirror, which actually has backlight, is fitted in washroom, which can only be used only for shaving by men and not to dress up or make over by women because of wet floor or other reasons. 8. Usually, the guests opt for such locations to enjoy local weather as well. But the cottages do not have windows to open at night and sleep. What is the use of fully air conditioned room, if you want to enjoy a cool breeze at night?
