MTDC Bhandardara

We booked the resort to attend fireflies mohotsav. We booked non ac lake-view rooms as ac rooms were not available. Though it was summer it doesn't feel like in the property. Our rooms were cool enough and cool breeze was coming from the lake. The lake-view rooms have excellent view of the lake. The rooms are specious, having a terrace like large balcony. The bed is good, bedsheet & blanket were clean. The bathroom is good and clean. You get a tv and a small fridge in the room but the fridge is too small and doesn't cool properly. Overall cleanliness in the property is good. The property is huge and full of greenery. It is well maintained. We had a dinner in the canteen. It was delicious. The service was also good. You easily get a guide if you want to see fireflies. They take you in the nearby jungle. It's a must have experience. Overall a nice stay. The only drawback is lack of intercom & wify. They give you room service on phone calls but mobile network is very week and you cant call from your room. No wify and no internet. So this is not the place if you want to do work from home.

We had a short stay of one & half days at this resort. The suite that we booked was decent with necessary amenities and a good view of lake. We didn't use acs as the overall climate was much pleasant than the city. The washroom was large with basic toiletries. There is also ample car parking. The restaurant was little away from our suite, and which ensured a good walk before & after the food and a good time to spend with surroundings. Veg food which we had ordered was amazing in taste, good on quantity and definitely value for money. The preparation time was bit longer. Take a guide if you want to do some sight seeing. They charge usually rs. 500 for 3-4 hrs to show the places around in your vehicle. However ensure to see they are authorised guide with proper id. Absolutely there was nothing to complain about. It's a safe place, excellent view and at best of the location. Highly recommended esp if you are travel-ling with family. One needs to be little patient as service time could be bit longer as compared to top notch private resorts/MTDC Bhandardaras.

MTDC Bhandardara resort is a great place to stay..pls don't go with a five star resort expectation.. it's reasonably well maintained, govt owned property 1) location - the best.. the view is breathtaking.. we stayed with family in lake view premium ac rooms. Room service is slow, but you won't need much. rooms are well kept, clean with basic amenities. hot water available 24*7. 2) it's right on the lake and all places for sightseeing are accessible from here, via a car. 3)- Food: Menu is basic and limited but well prepared food. we enjoyed bhakri, zhunka, poha, sheera etc . Meals are tasty, hygenic, though service is slow.. but again you have all the time here😊 3) guides are available and i sugggest you take one to explore the place Fully. we have great sighting of fireflies.. it was magical. 4) the place is very windy.. the breeze is super clean and cool.. overall amazing weather with such rich view all around.

Located on lake, you have a nice view of dam and it's adjacent area. We had opted for special room non-ac and it was nice and coozy. This room is kind of small house with a sitting area outside the room. The bathroom is modern and clean. The food was ok and with limited options. The complimentary breakfast was good and with 4-5 options from which you have to choose 1. For people planning to visit bhandardhra please note the best time to visit is from second week of august. At this time you will get to see the water spilling from dam which is a good experience. Don't miss the drive around the lake which is a 40 km drive and the best part of it is sandhan valley and konkan-kada. Enjoy!

I'd booked most basic room since i was visiting in monsoon & hence ac wasn't necessary. Still room was very good, it had huge balcony giving pleasant view of arthur lake. It's location is such that you can go on stroll to lake within 5 min itself. Food served was also quite good. Though they don't have breakfast buffet, but that's not a big deal. For every order they prepare fresh tea & coffee. All items served were good in taste. Even they have huge seating area outside restaurant. So if you are visiting bhandadara, make sure you book your room here only. Ps: google maps may mislead you, so follow sign boards once you are within 3 kms to this MTDC Bhandardara.

Overall stay was good. Mtdc resort is having all the things which a middle to higher middle class family needs. Rooms and toilets are spacious. Also clean and airy. Even the ambience is good. Lake aside is one more positive thing. Food quality is good. But if a family of five persons including children want to accommodate in a single room, it is not permitted. This is not fair. For no cause one family has to book two rooms unnecessarily. This is not expected from a resort like mtdc. This is the important thing which the mtdc should rethink and take positive decesion from the middle class point of view. This will encourage the families to visit again and again.

The location of mtdc is excellent. Though there were issues like water dripping from ac, flush giving intermittent problems, electrical points giving issues, etc, would definitely repeat a stay over here. The staff is very polite and eager to help. The most negative part of this mtdc is a pathetic restaurant facility. They really need to greatly improve on it. They need to revamp the canteen structure. First and foremost any restaurant should be on the ground floor. And they have ample scope for that. A lake view professionally managed restaurant will go a long way in increasing the valuation of this mtdc bhandardara.

Comfortable stay with a scenic view of the arthur lake. The drive towards the location is awesome, despite visiting during the dry season (may. Would definitely love to visit during the rains. Had booked a deluxe ac suite facing the lake. However, was provided a suite quite inside the property. Nevertheless, the rooms are decent and spacious with all amenities, though basic. The restaurant serves good food. Though the options are limited, the food is tasty and service is prompt. Due to the dry season, didnt have much to visit around. A visit to the amruteshwar temple was totally worth it.

Though the property is under renovation but overall stay was good. The location of properly is very nice. Lake is 2 mnn walking from MTDC Bhandardara. The rooms i selected is lake facing and have very cosy view of lake. Staff and management are very polite and humble. One suggestion, add some more items in food option, food option are very limited.

While camping is one way to go, a deluxe ac room @ mtdc bhandardara is a memorable stay for a family, at this magical place. Dotted with scenic picnic and touristic spots, make sure to book well in advance especially for weekends. Top notch location.

Even it looks old from outside it spacious room and view and.location

Mtdc bhandardara is a very good property. Needs a bit of maintenance. The food was good. There are good sight seeing points. Not advisable to go in the summer. Mmt arranged our transport back to mumbai. For this place one needs own vehicle. Staff was very friendly. Room maintenance was good.

Nice view, nice staff, food was too good. All r gud. Good hospitality. Room's were clean. Overall ambience was good. Overall it was a nice and pleasant stay

Best location in bhandardara. Food is good. Since it's a govt property service will depend on how you treat the staff- quite fair. Most economical option. Would advise taking your own towel, soap, bedsheet etc.
