Take a bow Mr. Abhinav Beri and team! My wife and I took our first holiday since the lockdown easing. We couldn't have chosen a better place to celebrate a milestone, our 25th anniversary. From special room decoration to the gifts and chocolates you and your crew made us feel so welcome, wanted and loved. The pampering began as soon as we entered the hotel and continued until we departed. What more could we have asked for? In fact, it was way beyond anything we could have ever imagined. Although our safaris were not booked through the hotel, we were seen off most courteously and sent off with a hygiene kit and an ice box with water and juice. The food of course was exemplary and chef Saurabh and the F&B team were just too accommodating and caring. In our many travels and several luxury stays we haven't been met with such warmth, hospitality and care. The naturalist, Sachin, stayed back to take me to the observatory for some astrophotography. Such a warm gesture that deserves a special mention. Of course, the tent/ room was fantastic and serviced several times a day. We loved relaxing in the area abutting our tent. We carry such lovely memories and gifts from you that this stay shall forever remain etched in our minds. Albeit luxury may be limitless, you have raised the bar and I would tag "Vanyavilas" as the last word in luxury. P.S: Fantastic sighting and safaris were an icing on the cake ;)

A trip to India would not be worth it without a stop at this hotel. I loved every minute of it from arrival to departure and just wish we had stayed an extra night or two to enjoy the hotel facilities. We stayed two nights and had two safari drives on the second day, unfortunately we only saw a tiger from a distance but if/when i return I will definitely book my drive through the hotel as they have experienced staff that i believe will always find the tigers :-) On our first evening one of the guides gave anyone interested a talk on Tigers, this covered all types from all over the world, I found it very interesting indeed and an added extra to get the juices flowing for what we hoped would be a successful day the next day The rooms are exceptional, every single thing was thought about, they even provide 'extra' amenities in the bathroom, like nail varnish remover and talc. The hot water bottle in the bed was also a lovely treat in the evening as it was still chilly when we were there. the towel made of an elephant greeted us on arrival together with the beautiful flowers made of tiger paws. Dinner and Breakfast were also excellent. all the staff were welcoming and friendly with a great attitude to service but I would like to point out one member that we both thought was exceptional Anirud. final mention has to be for Lashmi, the hotel elephant who has quarters with the rest of the hotel staff, she was rescued from a circus and has lived at the hotel for 20 years, wonderful experience to be so close to such lovely animals and for her to greet us when we came back from the safari. all in all the most amazing experience and will definitely return. Finally I want to add that I love the 'Oberoi' policy on tipping, always a stress to carry enough smaller notes around but at the Oberoi they have a policy that you leave your tips on check out. I even tried to give some staff tips where we received exceptional service but they refused and reminded us of the policy, so much easier I just hope that everyone does remember this at check out!

We stayed here for 2 nights and i must say we had the most amazing stay. Very courteous staff. Spacious Luxury Tents. Amazing house keeping services. They say its Luxury tents and they indeed are Luxury Tents. They made us feel so special and literally pampered us. The GM of the property Ratna Malhotra was such a down to earth humble lady. She herself was checking on the comfort of the guests. Took personal interest by checking on the guests. Our 3 yr old had Bathroom slippers, Bathrobe and some special welcome notes and that made us feel really special. The only drawback we felt was the rates are on a higher side and mght not be afforded by all. Over all our stay was worth remembering for our life time.
