Good for a short stay

We stayed for 2 nights and overall it was a good stay. I noticed some stairs have tiles coming off when walking to breakfast, needs some fixing. Also, we had booked 'Lavender Deluxe' room but we upgraded our room to Maple wing because our room was dull and not the same as it looked in the pictures. My sister had to have her room changed because their toilet was broken and the sink wasn't clean when they checked in. The newer rooms seem to be much better. Spa was good to relax, staff was friendly and the massage was really good as well. Highly recommend if you're spending a couple of days here. Hotel staff were friendly and accomodating with travel help and anything else we needed.

Awesome experience. Had a fantastic time.

Resort is good and so is the management. Food quality is average and take a little longer than usual. Wifi, SPA, pool, jacuzzi, sauna, steam, billiards, carrom, TT, Fuzz Ball and everything in good shape. Breakfast buffet was awesome. Have a very romantic ambience at night. They also plan activities like treks, live music, tambola, dance floor with DJ. Will surely visit again

The hotel receptionist was not well trained as she din know the how to deal with the customers and also when the rooms were available they denied it..and later offered us with some other vacant rooms but the manager was really helpful and he did organise the same room somehow which we booked as there was a lot of confusions for one room booked by two different customers..also the service is real slow..but the oak suite was fab..nice n cozy😊

The resort and the facilities were excellent. Food was great Minus point was the unfriendliness of front office staff when we checked in (We had some anomalies in our booking which could have been resolved in a more polite way). It took some time for us to get over this unpleasant incident.

View from Cottages is great. Very well maintained property. Good Swimming Pool and activities. Our group had 3 toddlers and the Children's play room was good and adequate. The hotel can perhaps have more activities for 10+ year old kids. Staff was efficient and the reception team was quick to check-in and check-out.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Brightland. The location is excellent though almost in middle of Panchgani and Mahabaleshwar. Our cottage duplex was wonderful and comfortable for four of us - 2 adults and 2 children.

Relaxing stay

If you are looking for a relaxing stay without hassle of sightseeing this is a good place. It offers excellent valley views. Rooms are okay. Be sure to choose correct room after seeing the pictures as you may get confused. Do not opt for cottage apartment deluxe as the rooms are cramped. Service is okay but not proactive. Overall I give 3/5.

Our experience could have been better

One of the best hotel experiences in Mahableshwar but did not get what was promised. I had booked Maple suite . The site mentioned Valley view and deep bath tub. I was disappointed to find neither of them. Only half of these rooms had valley view. They had called and confirmed to keep anniversary cake when we check in as it was our 5th Anniversary. But no arrangements. In room service was great and the staff was polite and courteous .
