From
United StatesThis is my first stay in the Dandeli/Ganeshgudi region and the Stone Water resort is the perfect mixture of peace and disconnect I was looking for.
I stayed here for 2 nights on my way to Goa from Bangalore. Perfect break in the journey.
The place itself is nestled in a forest area, has a very clean and well maintained pool with a separate kids area, a well staffed cafe where a fixed buffet for breakfast lunch and dinner is served. Ala carte is somewhat restricted due to LPG shortage but will soon open up. The rooms are clean, spacious and very comfortable.
The best room combination is the breakfast and dinner plan along with the Nature View Cottage (swimming pool view can get awkward if you plan on sitting outside the room sipping coffee 😊).
The place has an adventure booking counter where you can pick different activities in house and outside (water activities like rafting etc. are outside).
The resort itself is quiet, serene and very welcoming. It's very instagramable if you are into all that. They have a 2 MB shared wifi Internet. Due to its location, there is no phone network which was ideal for me.
Our stay was fabulous and very relaxing. We will definitely be staying here again. The staff was extremely helpful, from Marvin from the reception, Aman who helped us get our bags to the room, Pranav, Jaya, Bhumi and Souman from the restaurant or even Ganga the resort cleaning staff who helped us find the entrance to the gardens.
Stay here if you want peace, a night full of stars, a nice bonfire in the night and great comfortable rooms. All water activities, hiking and safaris are within driving distance.
