Abbott Hotel Vashi - The Creek Restaurant Review

It was my birthday and I wanted to treat my family at a nice restaurant that serves excellent food in Vashi, Navi Mumbai. I did not want to take any chances with the quality of food and ambiance so I consulted a few friends. My friend Ratish recommended Abbott hotel and we finalized it. I am so glad about the choice and thankful to Abbott for making my day special. Here's the review of Abbott Hotel's The Creek Restaurant that I strongly recommend:

Horseland Hotel & Mountain Spa, Matheran: Review

Horseland Hotel & Mountain Spa is the ultimate resort in Matheran. I have visited Matheran several times but always ended up staying at MTDC, the Maharashtra tourism's resort that had won my heart with excellent location, service, food, cleanliness and super spacious rooms. So when I leant that it is undergoing renovation, I had to opt for another resort in Matheran. This of course was a very tough call, more so because I wanted to spend the first three days of 2010 in Matheran.

IRCTC Hotels – Book select hotels across India

I really did not know that the IRCTC website also offers hotel bookings across India. And when I did discover it, I couldn’t help but share it with you.


With the rail tourism India website, you can book over 400 properties across 450 cities! The best part is the holiday and rail tour packages they provide. So whether you wish to take darshan at the Vaishno Devi Mandir or explore the beauty of Kerala backwaters, whether you wish to take a historical trip to Rajasthan or enjoy Shillong’s lovely waterfalls, www.railtourismindia.com is the site that offers very reasonable packages with well-planned itinerary. To add to your experience, they have even added tripadvisor reviews of the hotels!

The site is quite extensive and I can fill pages about what it has to offer. But I would suggest you visit IRCTC’s rail tourism site yourself and explore India like you had never thought you could!

Taj Savoy Hotel Ooty review – Ideal for honeymoon

We went to Ooty for our honeymoon. And we are glad that we chose to stay at Taj Savoy Hotel. They made our honeymoon all the more special and memorable.







To start with, when we checked into the room, a special honeymoon decoration was in place. The fresh rose petals and elegantly designed swans left us speechless. When we returned to the room after a sumptuous dinner, we were surprised by a lovely cake placed in our room.














When it is Taj, we need not mention that the staff is amazingly nice and helpful. They connect with you so well you think you have known them for ages. They arrange for your Ooty sightseeing in the best possible way.

The rooms are very spacious with the best of fittings and amenities. We particularly loved the fireplace, the dressing table and the super spacious bathroom with bathtub.

The food is the best I’ve ever had. We could not stop complimenting the chef at Taj Savoy Hotel. The buffet is very elaborate. Since the hotel sprawls over landscaped gardens, you see beautiful never-seen-before flowers all around.

Taj Savoy Hotel has a recreation hall too where you can play some basketball, badminton, foosball, carrom and volleyball. They also have many bicycles you can ride on. And on evenings, they arrange for some indoor games like housie where you can have lots of fun.

All in all, Taj Savoy is one of the best hotels for honeymooning couples as well as families. I would rate it 5 on 5 and would love to visit the hotel again.
