Naini Retreat offers a charming experience with a lovely ambiance, great food, and efficient service. Although some rooms were a bit disappointing in terms of comfort and view, the overall stay was enjoyable, especially with the scenic location away from the bustling mall. The dining options were pleasant, contributing to the overall relaxing environment, but I found the value for money somewhat lacking in certain room categories.

I stayed in a superior room that had a nice garden view, but I found it a bit small and overpriced. The family room we switched to was more spacious, but the lake view room did not meet my expectations as it lacked the promised view.

The resort offers a beautiful view and is perfectly situated just away from the hustle and bustle of the town, making it a tranquil getaway. The rooms were clean, spacious, and thoughtfully arranged, which made for a comfortable stay. The service, especially from Mr. Shashank, was exceptional, making my experience even more enjoyable. However, the steep road to the mall might be a challenge for some, and I felt the breakfast could use some improvement.

During my stay, I had a delightful experience overall, thanks to the amazing service and beautiful surroundings. The resort truly felt like a home away from home, with spacious rooms and stunning views of the mountains. However, I did encounter some issues with the dining options, and the lack of a lift made it challenging for elderly guests. The staff could have been more proactive in assisting guests, which dampened the experience a bit.
