My TripAdvisor Review No.260: Club Mahindra Zest Danish Villa, Ooty.

Boutique Resort Away From The Madding Crowd.

We spent a very relaxed week at Club Mahindra’s Zest Danish Villa in Ooty in November. The resort is beautifully landscaped on the hillside, with cottages having sloping roofs covered with Mangalore tiles. The view from the sit-out outside the rooms is very beautiful as it overlooks the valley. Compared to the other Club Mahindra resort in Ooty, Derby Green, this one is smaller but better for people who prefer a quieter holiday.

This is a small boutique resort with only 15 rooms, located about 2.5 km from the Railway Station and about 3 km from the Ooty Bus Stand. All the rooms have wooden flooring, giving the rooms a very heritage look. There is a closet for keeping the bags and clothes, as well as a digital safe. Bathrooms are quite spacious. The flat screen TV is supported by Airtel dth, with all the SD channels. However there is no microwave oven, though there is an electric kettle for making your own tea/coffee. Free wi-fi is available in the lobby and restaurant.

There is a small playground for the kids, and a room for indoor games and a Spa. There is a common balcony for the rooms on the first and second floors, with chairs to sit out and enjoy the fresh cool air of the hill resort. There is sufficient parking space for about 10 cars.

The reception and staff are very helpful. Ramu and Shakespeare would give us very courteous service in the restaurant. Krishnamurthy and Ramalingam were prompt with Housekeeping and Room Service. Being a small resort, buffet dining was not always available, though they had an option of thali meals for Rs.249 at lunch time. We opted for the ala-carte at dinner.

We had a very pleasant and relaxed stay at the resort, enjoying nature’s beauty and bounty. We would definitely visit again.
Room Tip: Rooms on the 2nd floor have a better view from the common Balcony.
