Club Mahindra Assonora

The USP of Club Mahindra's Assonora resort is its vast green area, probably the largest green area to be found in any Club Mahindra Resort. Its complete with a organic herbal garden, butterfly garden, vegetable patches and numerous fruit and beautiful flowering trees. The cherry on the pie is the large diversity of birds that inhabit this locale. The international birding site - ebird has reported 103 bird species here. There is a machan for nature and bird lovers overlooking a narrow water stream flowing behind this green area. We observed over 40 bird species here and it was an amazing treat for us as bird watchers. Most of the birds observed were arboreal that is those who mostly inhabit trees and bushes. Some of the beautiful and unique species that we spotted here was the Malabar Grey Hornbill, the Paradise Flycatcher, Crimson Sunbird, Grey Headed Bulbul, Yellow bellied prinia, Lesser Green leafbird, European bee eater, Plain flower pecker, Red Spurfowl, Puff throated Babbler, Bull headed shrike, Chestnut tailed starling, Orange headed thrush, Crested maina and many more. There are beautiful signboards with pictures, names and fun facts of some of the birds, insects and tree species found ***** the three Eco-trails found here. Shri Vinayak, who conducts the organic garden guided tour for the guests at the resort, deserves special mention. He is a humble person but with an impressive knowledge about the plants and birds of this Club Mahindra resort. He is also the care-taker of this impressive green areas. The second major attraction is a water-themed park with a lazy river, a plunge pool with slides, and a manmade cave with a waterfall - a fun bonanza for kids and adults who want to relive their childhood thrills! The rooms at the resort were clean and comfortable. The service staff were very cordial and friendly. We called one of them to show us the workings of the TV in our room and he was very kind. In fact we had to call him twice and he came willingly stating that we could call him as many times as we wanted!! The food was good however some improvements can be done. Since quite a few senior citizens come to Club Mahindra Resorts some consideration can be made regarding their dietary requirements. For instance there should be an option of no added sugar for the fresh fruit juices offered. Perhaps one or two main dishes could be served with less salt and spices as an option for senior citizens guests at Club Mahindra, especially in the buffet section. Overall as nature lovers we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at this resort!

It definitely is amongst the best among their properties. Literally situated in a small hamlet, away from the chaos of the city and the tourists, the resort sits on a lush valley. The entire property is covered with rich flora and fauna. The place has a very nice walking trail amidst thick vegetation. There are many fruit and flower bearing trees, a big nursery, and a small waterbody. Also, plenty of activities for children and adults so there isn't any need to step out of the resort at all. The rooms were spacious and clean with prompt service. The food at the restaurants was also quite good. We had a lovely time here.

I stayed at Club Mahindra Assonora from 15th to 19th November 2024, ***** with my other 2 friends. We 3 had a terrific stay. It was my first women's trip, and I really felt very safe and pampered. The check-in process was time-consuming as it was a long weekend, and there was a huge crowd, yet the process went smoothly. The WELCOME cutout of the leaf kept on the bed was cute and lovely. The room was beautiful, and the staff was very accommodating and friendly. I especially want to thank Simran and Nandini.. It was my birthday so they arranged for a small cake. The gesture really made my evening special. The food was very good, and the buffet spread quite extensive. Overall, it was a comfortable and a 5star stay. Thanks a lot..
