Blue Ginger Resort

The location is awesome. Food is good. A private waterfall is one of the awesome additions. The drawback of this stay is, we have to park our vehicle 4-5Kms away from the stay and we have to take a jeep ride to reach the stay for which we have to pay additional for the jeep ride.. Additional payment to reach the stay and while returning from the stay is little irritating. It will be awesome if the jeep ride is included in the package.

Our recent visit to Blue Ginger resort was less than ideal. It seems like the resort had a beautiful and regal past but it is best left to its glory days than to visit now. Firstly the resort is located five to six km inside the forest and we have to take a four wheeler or a jeep to reach there. The jeep charges are extra. Even though it was covered for us it is something others have to keep in mind. When we reached we felt that the resort hasn't been visited much as the places like the pathways, the pool chair and even the badminton court were filled with leaves, algae and grime. The children who were so excited to jump headfirst into the pool at first instance were extremely disappointed to see the pool wasn't even 1/4th full. They said they couldnt speed the process up as it was filling naturally. We had specifically asked for the pools since the resort advertised two pools and a natural pond. One of the pools were completely destroyed and even the natural pool which could have reimagined the resort, was unkept and filled with leaves. It was evident that the resort was having staffing issues when the staff and the manager himself has to make us food, as the chef had quit or was let go. Even though the effort was appreciated they could have arranged for some catering from outside as the food they provided was inadequate and mediocre. The rooms were surprisingly clean, however many rooms faced issues with plumbing. Many didn't have good water flow and that affected the flushing of the toilets. Gas geysers were not working and we didn't get hot water. There were no plumber or equipped staff to deal with the issues. They also switched off the diesel generators at night and there was no continuous electricity supply. The only redeeming qualities of the resort was the morning trek through the forest, and the refreshing bath in the natural pond/waterfall. The morning view of the forest and fresh air, quiet and serene sunrise was memorable. Special mention to the staff who came to guide us on the trek and returned to do her part on the breakfast service. Even though we were a large group & the management left only four or five staff to deal with the handicapped resort, they did their best with the available resources with a smile. Inshort, this is a place that might have been great in its earlier years but now it is a reflection of bad management and neglect. I would never recommend this resort to anyone who is looking for a pleasant and hassle-free stay.

We had a very bad experience staying at Blue Ginger Resort. The staff there behaved very badly and the GM Jithin treated us badly. We will never go to Blue Ginger Resort again.
