Ayatana Coorg

We stayed at Ayatana, Coorg on August 27th for a two-night trip from Bangalore. While the welcome and initial experience were good, what followed was the most terrifying and traumatic experience we've ever had at any resort. On the night of August 28th 2025 I saw an intruder standing inside our room , watching us from the lobby area. (The chalets do not have doors separating the bedroom, which makes them extremely unsafe.) As soon as I shouted, the person ran out through the main door. It was dark, and I couldn’t see his face. My fiancée had also noticed strange flashlight movements previous night, which I initially ignored due to travel exhaustion. We were horrified and reported the incident to the reception. The staff shifted us to another chalet (201), but we were too shaken to sleep and checked out at dawn. We still feel unsafe and are mentally disturbed by the incident. And after paying ₹51,000 for just two nights, this is definitely not the kind of experience one expects from a so-called premium resort. Major Concerns: No CCTV near the chalets Easy access for outsiders— no proper security checks Card-lock system can be easily misused No internal door separating bedroom in chalets No manual door stoppers or additional locking mechanisms for added security People will still come to places like this for the nature and ambiance, but basic safety should never be compromised. There should be a proper locking system in every chalet, including manual door stoppers from inside. It’s extremely stressful to feel the need to double-check your door after every meal or resort activity, just to make sure no one entered your room in your absence. This is a serious security lapse, and we sincerely hope the management takes this seriously and acts fast to protect future guests. We do not recommend this resort until real security upgrades are made.

Thank you for the great stay Ayatana! Just wanted to list the pros of my stay and some feedback if I may. Pros: The location was absolutely freaking beautiful! Our suite was tidy and clean. It was very thoughtful having an umbrella in front of the room. The buggy service was extremely convenient for moving around the property. The property is actually pet friendly to let our pup inside the restaurant and also giving him a pet bowl for food/water. Need a special appreciation for the attention to details. Hats off to the chef for whipping up a tasty food on hungry and a tiring night! ❤️ Feedback: While the effort has been put in to prepare an out of menu item on request, This being a luxury resort , But overall thank you for a great holiday and a special shout out to Ms. Sheena!!

A very peaceful and pleasant stay and also very good hospitality also Sreena was very kind and sweet would love to visit again

An absolute bliss of a vacation. While the star attraction is the "Waterfall", to me it was a blend of everything. From arrival, to the quality and taste of food and then the amazing staff and their willingness to go out of the way to help. I am going back again and hopefully for a longer duration than just 2 nights

What can I say about Ayatana, the room, the view, the food, the activities were what you would expect of a really good resort. We had a wonderful time. The waterfall is the highlight of the property, but the pool, activities in the forest tavern, the Jeep excursion to meeranakote, the walks and obstacle course+ zip line kept us busy for 3 days. I would specially like to thank Manoj,  Priyanka, Nithin, Panduranga, Santosh chef, Avik chef, Subhendu chef & Somaiah. Each person from the glass house made us feel welcome and pampered. It was our 20th anniversary and the staff went out of the way to make it special for us. Sreena arranged for a fresh cream cake at very short notice and  Chaitra, Manoj arranged a table decorated with rose petals as a surprise from my husband. They also had a surprise brownie arranged in the room on our return. Rohit & Gagan patiently helped us over half hour to charge our EV. Even the housekeeping staff, special shoutout to sudeep, buggy drivers and the security at the waterfall, Vivek Singh who helped us take memorable pics, all were extremely jolly and made our trip very memorable. I'm sure I've missed a few names here. My only two suggestions are 1. Please try and get airtel network within the resort. Currently only jio works. So, no otp meant a few chaotic moments. 2. We need more vanity lights in the bathrooms. The lights are very dim which makes long-sighted people like us struggle to shave / apply makeup. Overall we had a wonderful celebration that we will remember for years to come.

The stay was pleasant, the staff were friendly and the overall experience was good It was a decent experience with a natural waterfall inside the resort being the main attraction And I would like to thank few of the staff Nithin , serene , and the security guys and the baggi guys.
