Gir Athiz Resort by OYO

For 600 per person with a special coupon code, Exe villa was great for our family. The bathrooms were clean and neat, and the staff behaved well. There was some hygiene issue on the balcony, but it was okay given the holiday rush. The pool felt too small for 20 people. The food was like homemade, and the place worked well for a family holiday. I’d recommend it at that price. If you’re paying 1000+ per person, I’d look for a better resort. 8/10.

The resort sits in the middle of Gir forest near a small village, surrounded by mango gardens and planting. The gardens, pool, dining area, and excellent rooms make for a wonderful property. The pool is open until 7 pm. I’d suggest it to anyone who’s weighing up factors beyond the food. They serve all meals, but the kitchen operation felt a little unprofessional. Meals were buffet only, with a small à la carte menu limited to snacks. Gujarati dishes were superb, while Punjabi food was just okay. Food also wasn’t ready on time, so we had to wait.

The location was very good, and we spent two nights enjoying the resort without going outside. The garden, children’s play area, wally ball court, and spacious pool were nice, and the restaurant staff were cooperative. The food was good too. It made for a memorable stay. There isn’t anything nearby, though, and room service was poor.

A relaxing weekend getaway in Gir national forest, with plenty of space for the car and the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. The food was amazing, especially the kathiyawadi dishes, and service was good. A great place to unwind.
