Got a call from Casa retreat on sept 25th, Free gifts, free stay etc, etc, my wife was excited to go and collect as if she has won some lottery, I was a little surprised as I could not understand the motive behind this. any how we landed at their office at the given time & day, on reaching there I realized that the co. is in holidays and there is some briefing session after which we will be given our gifts, as expected they told us all about their offer etc, etc, but since I was not interested, I did not show any interest and told them I will not be taking any of their offers, at the end we were issued our gifts i.e set of coffee mug sets, 2 nights stay at ooty, one day picnic with lunch at their resort near Bangalore and some Rs1000/- discount coupon,
The same day we asked them to confirm the ooty offer for us for the 4/5 oct as it was a holiday, they gave us some letter which had the hotel details at ooty, address ph no. etc and confirming a cottage for us for the 4 & 5 oct, I did not expect much and we landed in ooty on 4th morning, this is where I was shocked, but plesantly, the resort Palve Sugavasam was excellent, much beyond my expectaions, lovely cottages and in middle of tea plantation, definately worth visiting. we really enjoyed our stay there and the best part is that we paid only the taxes amt at the hotel, for 2 days abt Rs 1050/- where as the hotels tariff itself was Rs 2500+ taxes per day, A neat saving of more than Rs 4500/-
I dont mind getting another invitation from Casa Retreat for another free stay at OOty, Might consider taking an offer from them, As I am definately satisfied with their standards and services
