Stone Wood Nature Resort

Stone Wood Nature Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Really great stay at Stone View Resort, perfect for a family trip! Room & Cleanliness: Room was spotless. Housekeeping was dedicated, one elderly staff member's warmth really stood out. Daily cleaning was available on request, and table dusting was done promptly. AC had some trouble but staff fixed it quickly after we complained. Staff: Very friendly and helpful. They guided us on where to go, gave cab/auto numbers, and arranged a scooty rental easily, made sightseeing hassle-free. Food: Some room for improvement. Spice level was low, and lunch-dinner pricing felt a bit high for the quantity, especially starters. Breakfast only had white bread, brown/multigrain would be nice. Salad options were limited (just tomato, onion, chilli). Dosa wasn't available; only omelette at the live counter, which limited options for non-egg eaters. Would love a South Indian breakfast option. Beach & Pool: No direct beach view from the room, but Om Beach is a short scooty ride away, easy to access. Pool was decent. Resort ambiance is beautiful and peaceful. Wifi was a bit slow but usable. Suggestion: live music during dinner would make evenings more fun and encourage guests to dine in. Slightly expensive overall, especially food, but the peaceful setting makes up for it. Final take: Great experience, highly recommend for families and couples, clean rooms, caring staff, relaxing vibe. Would love better food variety. We will definitely be back! Loved the place."
