Lakewood Resorts & Spa (26 km away towards Tapola lake)

Location- The resort is as picturesque as shown in the pictures. It is a home away from home, a perfect place to relax and rejuvenate away from the hustle-bustle of city life. It is situated near Tapola and definitely has a Lake view with lake only 10 m walk from the resort. If you are a happy person around water activities, the place offers a lot many boating, kayaking etc. activities nearby with a 3000 years old shiva temple (as claimed by locals) accessible via boats. The nearby area is also beautiful and rightly called Mini-Kashmir with its scenic valley and lake views.Rooms- Resort has extremely spacious cottages with amazing wooden exterior and interiors equipped with all required facilities. All rooms have a Patio and well-maintained and nicely carved green area, where you can enjoy the entire day doing nothingA television for in-room entertainment and TT, Carrom, Swings and multiple other outdoor entertainment activities. A karaoke night evening along with good food.Staff- Vrushabh and GM- Ravi who manage the property are the perfect hosts with a welcoming attitude, good knowledge of the nearby area, soft-spoken and dedicated to provide the best of services and experience. They were working till late night with internet provider BSNL to get the WiFi services up and running for the customers by morning.Connectivity- The resort is well-connected via Road however there is limited network connectivity and might get a bit difficult after sunset or during rainy season. It is recommended to start and reach early so you can enjoy the drive and picturesque views which we could enjoy only when returning to Mahabaleshwar.I would definitely recommend the resort for the weekend.

It was truly an amazing experience to stay at Lakewood resort, very different and awesome from other hotels and resorts. Location is a bit far from Mahabaleshwar but those who anyways want to explore and enjoy tapola lake, this is the best location and resort to stay. Very calm and peaceful environment surrounded by natural beauty and lake mountain view. Property managers- Ravi and Rishabh didn't treat everyone as customers but like their own guests. Very hospitable staff and prompt services, neat and clean rooms and bathroom. Sanitizers kept before every room. Kayaking and boating was made available from the hotel itself, so no need to step out. Bonfire and music night was there for Holi celebration. Scope of improvement- more activities for children (swings and all) can be incorporated, breakfast can be better though ala-carte food we ordered for dinner was awesome (we ordered dal-khichadi and paneer lababdar). Overall experience was just awesome. Enjoyed the Sunrise and sunset view with chilled morning freshness and evening calmness. Our little children too enjoyed the stay while cherishing nature's beauty around and we had wonderful memories.

It's very good resort calm & quite spot on relaxing place with scenic beauty of Lake side and cosy cottages.Food service and accommodation was much satisfied.Only improvement can be thought of is phone connectivity only BSNL is functional, may be Lakewood should adapt more good network for wifi services.it's all normal cottages even though there is no difference in cottages only view from window is different.For us the management was kind enough Rishabh & Ravi arranged lakeside view cottages on the 2nd day to have the lakeside view feel too.Ambience and services.

I would rate it 5 as the property is amazing and peacefull very well maintained.....just next to the lake where u can just seat...relax and enjoy. The food is very tasty and quantity is very good. Room service is good. Very coorperative staff. The only suggestion I would recommend if you can provide wi-fi connectivity in the rooms. Outside the rooms and in the restaurant u can get wifi connectivity. As at the location you cannot get your mobile network. If would be great if there is wifi connectivity in the rooms as well.
