An excellent property in the lap of nature-kind of hidden gem. Staff & hospitality were outstanding. Dinesh - F&B manager, Charles, Dev and to top up with Chef Prem, had taken excellent care to us. Food was just stupendous and delicious, special thanks to Chef Prem for preparing mouth watering & finger licking Lal Maas. Never been so satisfied & happy with any properties that we have stayed so far. Also special thanks to Preetika & Front office stuffs for their courtesy & gesture. A perfect gateway from the Hussle & bustle of busy life . Thanks TAMARA Team & Staffs

Everything was excellent. No room for disliking

Heated pool, Breakfast spread and in general Food and beverages.

Maintenance of the facility is below par, Garden in poor shape, electric fittings in open areas not well insulated and not in compliance with safety norms. Dangerous to kids.. Finally my room heating system was not working for all three nights of my stay and I did not have a comfortable stay, even as the staff arranged a temporary oil heater which makes noise and not effective for the room size, In all we all was having a real five star level comfort😉

Excellent Food throughout the stay. Good service from Staff, Check in & Check out Process was smooth. Well maintained Pool and Good indoor gaming options for Kids. We enjoyed the Karoke nights.

Shower Experience was bad. The water temperature kept Shifting during Shower. In these kind of wheather they should have used a Thermostatic fitting from a better brand like Grohe or Hansgrohe. The Showering product they have used didn’t fit a Premium properly like Tamara. It spoiled our Shower experience.

I liked the location the hospitality of the staff and the food in particular . I had been to Tamara way back in 2019 and the food quality had improved over the years . Persons to mention in particular are Syed ( activity manager ) , Ebi Activity staff, Sree Restaurant Manager, Shoba Restaurant staff, Benett Front office manager , Srinivas Restaurant trainee, Amol Restaurant waiter , Seeman House keeping. Last but not the least is the Executive chef of Tamara , Nitish

Check in and check out times takes longer than usual

Loved the setup, the rooms, the aesthetics, the food, the facilities and most importantly the staff. Always happy and smiling and trying to help us with even the smallest requests and I mean really, genuinely trying. SUPERB service, special mention to Mr. Hari, Mr. Shanta Kumar, Deb, Soni, Ebi who made it all so comfortable for us. Book it without a thought, absolutely worth the buck :)

After having travelled a lot the past few years, I have to say this: This has been the best stay ! Especially the staff! One of the most courteous, kind, obliging people work here and take care of you so well that you are spoilt ! The quality of stay, the resort, every minute detail is amazing. This place can never disappoint anyone. So clean, so comfortable and beautiful ❤️ Counting days until we return back to this wonderful resort.

That we didn't have enough time there 😀 Checked out with a heavy heart.

The location, landscaping, decor and activities The staff are fantastic- special shout out to Kartik in the activities team and Chef Ranjit for making sure our stay was fantastic

We had a few hiccups with housekeeping not servicing our room in time and some noisy guests staying in the room below us- but they apologised to us and made up for it in service

The property was very beautiful. The staff was friendly. The food was tasty and there was good variety.

There were too many flies in the restaurant areas. That put us off a bit. The management should take steps to control it.

Tamara, Kodai is a resort that’s one of a kind. My wife and I stayed here for three days and two nights, and we haven’t ever seen such impeccable hospitality, excellent food, beverages and service, and such a gorgeous resort. Located right on the top of Kodai, jumping into the warm, temperature controlled pool was the icing on the cake! Special shout out to Namrata and Pari for the best service ever! Dennis, was amazing at the spa. And last, but not the least, the chef at Tamara, Kodai, is indeed one who knows all cuisines at the back of his hand; continental, India, oriental, were all unbelievably good. We truly loved our stay here, and highly recommend it for everyone. We eagerly look forward to coming back here soon.
