Capitol Village resort Madikeri Coorg review

The name Coorg immediately brings to mind lush greenery and what better way to enjoy it than in the midst of a beautiful plantation? A couple of years ago we did just that, at the Capitol Village Holiday Resort in Madikeri for a hospitable stay in the midst of nature's picturesque settings.

Saguna Baug accommodation rates and general facilities

As mentioned earlier, paying a casual visit and enjoying a day's picnic at Saguna Baug, Neral is not a bad idea but far better is to stay there for a couple of days. Your stay will definitely be a comfortable one. What's more, it is 100% value for money, with no dent on your wallet.

Saguna Baug Neral food review

The food served to us during our stay in the Pond House rooms at Saguna Baug, Neral was wholesome, tasty and properly cooked. However, don’t expect any great variety if you are staying for many days, as the vegetable for the meals as also the breakfast items tends to be repetitive and becomes boring. As mentioned here, we were disappointed at not getting some traditional items which we had definitely expected.

Saguna Baug Neral review 2015

We were a bit apprehensive of the cleanliness & hygienic standards of Saguna Baug, having read quite a few scathing reviews on the Net. Let me assure you here that it is 100% clean and hygienic. All over the premises are large circular dustbins and visitors & staff do use them. A round is made by two staff members who collect the trash from each and every dustbin. We were informed that the trash is not dumped anywhere but is taken to a compost spot.

Saguna Baug Neral Pond House Rooms

Our stay in the Pond House rooms was truly fantastic. It was just heavenly to stay right in the midst of our very own pond and in rooms which were airy, bright and very clean. There are 2 rooms in the Pond House, Nos. 8 and 9. Room 8 has great side and front views, whereas Room 9's side view is the stony path. 

Staying at the Pond House in Saguna Baug Neral

After reading reviews on the Net, we booked the Pond house rooms for the 4 of us. We were glad we did, as we discovered that the 3 independent cottages were near the common dining area so were basically located in a noisy section. The Pond House was far away from this area and relatively secluded & quiet. Note though, that at night it is noisy, with the sound of trains throughout the night.
