The Windflower Jungle Resort & Spa, Bandipur

Windflower is a family friendly magical place set in the gorgeous Bandipur countryside. It is close to The Tiger Reserve, which is filled with tigers, leopards, elephants, deer, baboons, monkeys and birds of all kinds. The resort itself is fantastic. The rooms are comfortable and charming. There is a beautiful infinity pool that looks out on the jungle environ. The staff is first rate. Reception addresses every need, well informed guides teach you about the flora and fauna and the veranda dining experience is special. We sat with the chef and food manager to learn of some of the authentic recipes, creatively prepared, that go back generations. You will fall in love!

This is a magical place to stay. Coupled with a safari where we saw a leopard stalking deer, lots of elephants, a mongoose, and multiple birds and other animals, I was an experience I will not forget. I loved the accommodation, which is in keeping with the environment. The food was great and the buffet style meant you can choose from a wide selection. Swimming in the pool early in the morning as the sun came up was very special.

We stayed at this hotel for two days in November 2024, and unfortunately, we were extremely disappointed with our experience. While the room itself was acceptable in terms of category and size, the food and service were far below expectations. Food: The quality of food was particularly disappointing. The taste was consistently poor, and the variety was very limited. In two days, we had six meals, yet we were not provided with basic options like ice cream for kids or hot milk, even upon request. The overall food quality was subpar, and the service was slow and unresponsive, which made our dining experience quite unpleasant. Service: The service overall was very poor. Despite asking for basic items multiple times, they were either delayed or not provided at all. We found it difficult to understand how other guests could give such positive feedback, especially in light of our experience. Location: On the positive side, this hotel is the only option available for those looking to explore the wildlife and the surrounding hills of Bandipur, as there are no other resorts nearby. If your primary purpose is to explore the animals and the region, this hotel may be a suitable choice due to its location. Recommendation: However, if you prioritize a comfortable stay and quality food, we strongly recommend looking for other options. While the hotel is convenient for exploring Bandipur's wildlife, the experience may not be worth the cost if comfort and quality service are important to you.

An awesome resort with good rooms. And food, that was more than awesome. Chef Mahesh is such a nice person and even a better chef, we all liked the food a lot. Each and every item on the menu was mouth watering. The tandoori roti, that was the best I have ever had. Thanks a lot to Mahesh for wonderful hospitality. Would be visiting again with family some time

A Resort in the midst of sprawling greens. Well conceived cottages with all amenities. Bathroom fittings needs repair/change. Food quality and quantity in surplus. Service by Subramanyam and Surya in the dining areas was superb. Very courteous, friendly, smiling and ready to help staff.

We stayed at this property in third week of February for 2 nights. We stayed in a cottage which is located in what they call as "new property" which is around 500m from the original one. Just an average stay. Room size is big but i seriously feel that the property needs some major upkeep. The upholstery is worn out. There's no room service in this new property. In the restaurant, food is ok but i had to literally spend few minutes to find a bowl which is free of stains. One good thing was that you get to see deers moving around in the property. The place is littered with cow dung so one has to be very watchful while walking.
