    GGuest UserWe had a wonderful family stay at The Tamara Kodai. I stayed here with my wife and my two daughters, and it was truly a memorable experience for all of us. The property is beautiful, peaceful, and surrounded by greenery. The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and spacious. The atmosphere was calm and perfect for a relaxing family holiday. The staff were extremely polite, caring, and always ready to help. They made us feel very welcome throughout our stay. The food was delicious with a good variety, and my daughters especially enjoyed the meals. Overall, it was a perfect place for a family vacation. We would definitely recommend The Tamara Kodai to others and would love to visit again.

    GGuest UserThe stay was pleasant overall, but there were a couple of issues. Firstly, there is no car parking available on the premises. Additionally, the hot water supply in the bathroom was quite slow. On the positive side, the breakfast was delicious, and room service was efficient. Overall, it was a good experience.

    GGuest UserWe stayed at apple valley for a short duration. The room and bathroom were neat and hygienic. The facilities in the room are good with a hot-cold water dispenser, wardrobe, sofa, reading table etc. Lots of napthalene balls though, if you are allergic to the smell, please note. The location is in the city centre. If you need access to the bus stand this is a good choice. If you are looking for a peaceful resort with good views of the valley, you must go farther from the city. The dining area looked dark and cramped, and we did not feel like trying any food there. There are good veg-only options nearby for wholesome food.

    GGuest UserWe booked one room but got another room on first day. Then we raised an issue and after multiple following they accept to change the room which we are booking on next day. The room was ok but it’s need to improve the hygiene especially when kids are around. Poor maintenance rooms and no house keeping service for 2 days also. Food is ok. But one good thing the person who is responsible for this, he is very polite and always helping with our queries. That’s why we can manage here for 3 days. Roads to reach this hotel is very tough one. Totally it’s an average stay.

    GGuest UserI had a wonderful stay at jayaraj residency, where everything from the warm welcome at check-in to the spotless, well-equipped room made the experience exceptional. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the modern amenities, including 24/7 hot water, added to the convenience. The hotel’s location was perfect, close to all kodaikanalbus stand, making it easy to explore the area. What stood out the most was the attentive and friendly staff, who went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. Overall, it was a memorable experience, and i highly recommend jayaraj residency to anyone visiting kodaikanal.
