Antariksh Retreat

Mr. Vora is a friendly, talkative host. Hearing about the challenges of running a hotel here gave me a sense of the effort the owners of Antariksh Retreat put in. Despite financial difficulties, they keep working to give guests the best service they can, and I really appreciate that. The resort is well maintained and tidy, with lovely scenery around it. Staff were courteous, helpful, and attentive, and the food was good. The buffet breakfast was especially good value for the room price. My one concern is about Lavasa's management rather than the resort: the ₹500 entrance and parking charge could put people off exploring the area's natural beauty.

Their breakfast buffet had lots of good choices. Taj Vivanta is an excellent hotel, and the hospitality keeps surprising me. They genuinely care about guests being comfortable.

The room view is a real plus, and the staff are kind and very helpful. Food and service were excellent, with Jain options available too. We plan to visit again. There's a games room with chess, table tennis, and carrom. They don't have a swimming pool, though, so I'm not sure why they've posted pool photos. That's a little misleading.

Antariksh was a great place to stay, with well-kept grounds and service that was right on point. Even around the quiet market, the people working there were really friendly and helpful. I was in Lavasa this week, and the scenery is beautiful everywhere. The lake, river, and hills look stunning, almost like a European hill station. The town itself felt surreal, like a video game setting. There were hardly any people on the streets, and the market didn't have much of a holiday buzz. People say Lavasa isn't dead, just forgotten, and I agree. It's a beautiful place for nature lovers. I really hope it gets a revival.
