Delicious Buffet Experience

During my stay, I was truly impressed by the dining options available at Centauria Lake Resort. The buffet featured a great range of curries, some of which were among the best I tried in the country. Each meal was a good experience, and I'll certainly return for more!

Spacious and Comfortable Rooms

I was amazed by the size of my standard room, which featured a king-sized bed and beautifully matched wooden furniture. The view over the lake was splendid and made my stay even more enjoyable. It felt like a personal retreat, and I loved being able to walk straight onto the terrace from my room!

The pool at Centauria Lake Resort was immaculate and offered a fantastic place to unwind after a long day of sightseeing. The fact that it was cleaned regularly and provided fresh pool towels made the experience even more enjoyable. I truly felt relaxed there!

Luxurious Suite Comfort

Staying in a premium room was a treat. It was not only roomy and clean, but the overall luxurious feel added to my experience. The plush bedding made for the best sleep after a long day, making this hotel stay a nice one.

The hotel is situated by a picturesque lake, offering great views and a peaceful ambiance, especially in the evenings. The spacious room was well-stocked and clean, but there were some maintenance issues, particularly in the bathroom. The dining, while convenient, left much to be desired in terms of quality and variety. Overall, the hotel is a decent choice if you're looking for a quiet retreat.

The hotel has a stunning exterior and beautiful views of Chandrika Lake, making it a visually appealing choice. The spacious rooms offer a great lake view, but they could benefit from some updates as they appear tired and somewhat shabby. The dining experience was enjoyable with delicious curries, but breakfast options were lacking. Overall, it's a decent place to stay if you're looking for a scenic spot but manage your expectations regarding room quality.

The hotel is visually stunning from the outside, boasting beautiful views of the lake, but I encountered some issues during my stay. While most of our group enjoyed spacious rooms with great views, one room was not properly cleaned and had poor views. The dining experience varied; while a few dishes were good, others fell short of expectations. Overall, the hotel offers excellent service, especially with the accommodating staff, but it did not fully meet our expectations in terms of room quality and ambience.
