Rooms are just okay. We asked for room heater in the room we were staying but there was no response and during the breakfast also we ordered for dosa but even after waiting for half an hour they didn’t responded back so we have to leave the place without eating much. Service needs to be upgraded.

Write your review Location of the property undoubtedly fetch 10/10 score with an amazing morning and night view of entire Ooty & a surreal sunset view. Rooms are well designed & spacious 10/10 (Nilgiri and Deluxe Suites interiors were redone recently) Food 7/10 less F&B staffs to offer room service. Mr Raju(front office) is an asset of this property. Overall Sinclaire was worth our spending..

We stayed in this resort for 2 days with 2 adults and 1 child. Firstly the manager doesn't know about hospitality. We booked rooms through a travel agency.Due to some problem with the travel agency,they simply stopped our check in. When we reached they simply declined the check in and asked to work with a travel agency. To our surprise hotel management didn't inform about the check in block to the travel agency. The manager was really rude in speaking with us. He doesnt know how to speak with customers. After we had a discussion with the travel agency they allowed for check in. Coming to amenities, everything mentioned in the hotel is outdated or broken. We took a hill view room and the room was really small. The bathroom is really small and it is smaller than my bathroom in my home. The only positive about this resort is about food. Food quality is good My advice is search for alternate property with the same range

Rude front office representatives and they don't have basic politeness to talk to guests. When you look for the manager he was never been available and several reasons were told like he went for lunch or currently not in the office. They may come up with the the excuses but the fact is that management is poor, to check and confirm just visit all the negative reviews where any one can observe that front office representatives are quite famous. House keeping staff is really great and very prompt with the service, many thanks to pradeep who helped us to change the room when we requested to change because of liquor and cigarette smell coming from next door. Sahdev das was a great person we met at restaurant who was very attentive to guests. Selvan at security gate is an amazing person who helped us to park our car on request. The view was nice and location of the hotel is good but the connecting road to hotel is pathetic. Overall it deserves not more than 2 stars for a 3 star hotel. They earn 2 stars because of Selvan, pradeep and sahdev who helped me during my stay. Hotel looks good from outside but poorly maintained, photos attached. Hotel has good view of ooty town but you can see and observe poorly maintained windows and lobby area.

"I had the pleasure of experiencing exceptional service from Mr. Rakesh, the F&B Sinclair Retreat in Ooty. His attention to detail, warm hospitality, and dedication to ensuring a memorable dining experience were truly impressive. Mr. Rakesh's professionalism and expertise shown through in every aspect, from taking orders to recommending dishes and ensuring timely service. His friendly and courteous nature made us feel valued and cared for. The food was delicious, and the presentation was impeccable. Mr. Rakesh's team worked seamlessly together, and his leadership was evident in the efficient and harmonious service. I highly recommend Sinclair Retreat's F&B services, and Mr. Mahesh and masna exceptional servers. If you're looking for a top-notch dining experience in Ooty, look no further Thanks to Mr. Rakesh and his team for an unforgettable stay.
