Forest Escapes Koyna

This was our second visit with family. The rooms are spacious and clean. Each accommodation type has a pool ***** with a common one. The rooms are equipped with basic tea/coffee facilities. The staff is welcoming and hospitable. The breakfast spread is good; the lunch / dinner menu could have more variety though. Local cuisine was excellent. The place is perfect for spending time with family without the distractions of too many amenities and network.

Clean rooms. Good restuarant. Difficult to walk for elders and knee issues, the whole hotel is on a hill and mountainous A little away from the city and highway. Lot of walking options around and very good staff and caring housekeeping. Good stay

We took a 3 days trip to Koyna and stayed at Forest Escape Resort and stayed for two nights. The drive from Mumbai to Koyna through the Goa highway was very pleasant other than the traffic snarl at Mangaon. The resort is idyllic and situated on the hill side but very close to Koyna river. Our room ( one bedroom and hall) was on the slope and was nice and clean. The counter manager Mr. Jadhav was very pleasant and helped us through the checkin process. Restaurant is good with ample options including local Koyna fish curry. Morning breakfast is excellent. One can do lot of activities including forest walk and half day trip to Koyna dam. Swimming pool is small but well kept. The climate was very pleasant during this time of the year with few spells of rain too. We enjoyed the stay , fresh air and the food.

We stayed for 4 nights in Skyvilla rooms and were allotted on 2nd floor. Balconies of both the rooms were having bad sewage smells which according to resort management is from kitchen drain which is just passing behind. The same bad smells in the washrooms too. Washrooms/ Showers area are together without curtains or partition. Keep wiping when you use for bath . No shower bath mats after bath. Come outside the bathroom and wipe you wet feets. Dental kit is chargeable with GST. Facilities of barbecue is there but one can enjoy with mosquitoes bites. Marinated barbecue items are provided by the restaurant around 1150/- each variety for 500gms + GST. No helper are provided by paying extra amount also. Buffet breakfast Hmmm Just watch the faces as no option you have to as already paid in room tariff for complimentary. But for CM members pay and eat orelse order from the menu. Very limited options for meals. Dal khichadi what you get in the restaurant is around 450/- and the same you can relish outside the resort property managed by the same owner around 170/-. Good variety and reasonable amount of menu with pizzas outside the resort. Roads towards the Resort are pathetic from Patan. You can see and feel the Mud fog while entering the Resort. Atleast bakery outside the resort is covered. But restaurant outside is not. Difficult for elderly people to move inclined and decline. Not appealing in house entertainments. Swimming pool water is odour. If one wants to stay go for Pool villa with 2 rooms and private swimming pool. Few rooms they give on rentals which can’t be for guests. I don’t know why such a hiden treasures of Koyna is not well maintained wish a good trained staff. Around 10-20 rooms are being kept for CM members which is as usual affiliated one does. Enjoy 15% Discounts that’s the gr8 benefit only in food menu for CM. Thanks for the letting us know about such a untouched reserve Koyna.
