Aranyak Resort Hotel

The food was delicious, and I liked that the chef talked through the menu and was happy to take our suggestions. Our children, aged 5 and 1, had a great time too. The staff helped set up a toy room and played with them, keeping them entertained. We felt looked after throughout our stay at Aranyak Resort, Bandhavgarh. Mr. Ram, the owner, even picked us up at the station and made sure our departure was just as warm and smooth. For our early safaris, breakfast was packed and ready every morning without fail. The staff were consistently polite, smiling, and eager to help, and the whole place felt welcoming and homely. It was a very comfortable stay, with care given to all the little details. We can’t wait to visit again.

Breakfast and dinner had excellent spreads and plenty of variety. Lunch felt more limited, so that’s the one menu I’d suggest expanding. It was easy to find the resort, and the themed architecture gives the property a distinctive atmosphere. Everything was well maintained, and the staff were polite, cooperative, and well behaved. Room service was prompt and professional. We had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend it.

The homemade chocolate mousse and cookies were a lovely treat, and the food was very good. We had a wonderful family stay at Aranyak Resort, Bandhavgarh. The staff made the visit especially memorable. Everyone was welcoming and courteous, always ready to help with a warm smile, and they made sure we felt cared for throughout. Mr. Sharma ji deserves a special mention. He’s a true gentleman, and his personal attention set a warm tone for the whole team.

The little store by the reception was a highlight for me. It had Maheshwari and Chanderi sarees, dokra and metal crafts, Gond paintings, and other small items at different prices. Most were sourced from local artisans, which I loved. Aranyak was our last stop on a long tour of Madhya Pradesh, and I’m glad I chose it. Set among forest areas, it was a quiet, comfortable place to rest. The rooms were simple in keeping with the resort’s sustainable approach, but still very comfortable and thoughtfully arranged. The food was fresh and really tasty, and both the staff and rooms were great. They also organized our safari to Bandhavgarh, with packed breakfast, a comforter, and guided tours. I’m looking forward to coming back.
