Mahindra Club, Jim Corbett – March 2025 Visit
I had the opportunity to stay at Mahindra Club Jim Corbett for a week in March 2025. The property is beautifully located right next to the Kosi riverbank, offering scenic views and a peaceful atmosphere. The horticulture around the resort is well-maintained and adds to the natural charm of the surroundings.
During my stay, I noticed that the buffet spread was limited, and the food options were fewer than expected. Guests who haven’t opted for the AP (All Meals) plan might consider exploring nearby food options. The resort does charge a premium for its buffet, which may not align with everyone’s expectations regarding variety.
The bathrooms could benefit from more attention to cleanliness, and I didn’t have any interaction with the hotel manager during my stay. However, the overall environment of the resort remains calm and inviting, making it a pleasant place to unwind.
In summary, Mahindra Club Jim Corbett offers a beautiful setting and a tranquil experience. Individual preferences may vary, so it’s worth considering what matters most to you when planning a visit.
