I
have a suggestion if any one of you have chosen to spend their
holiday at Eagle Eye Holiday Home in Chikamagalur district,
Karnataka, India - CANCEL your reservation. It might save you a lot
of disappointment. Let me share our experience. We went to
Chikamagalur last weekend for 4 days. We had booked first night in
JLR resort and it was a memorable stay. We had booked the next 2
nights in Eagle Eye Holiday home and they almost ruined our holiday.
To begin with, they have not even placed any road signs for their
resort. It was a big struggle for us driving through the coffee
plantations with noone to ask for directions. They do not have even
basic sense of how to treat their guests. We drove for around 4 hours
from JLR to reach Eagle Eye. Inspite of calling them 2-3 times during
the journey in advance, they could not even save some lunch for us.
Hence we reached at 4 in evening hungry and tired and despite of a
lot of request, all we were offered was evening tea with some basic
snack. To top it all, just after 15 mins we saw a group of people
having lunch! On enquiring we were told that they had asked them in
advance to save some lunch. Me and my wife could do nothing but stare
at each other in disbelief. The worst was yet to come. Before
choosing this resort we had chosen Eagle Eye after a lot of googling.
We were hoping to be provided one of the great looking rooms that
they had posted on their website. But when we were led to our room,
we were literally taken aback. It was nothing more than a 0-star
hotel room with very poor interiors and no amenities that you would
expect from a 3000 Rs. per night room. This was their so called
bungalow room.(If you want I can email you pictures of that room) We
felt cheated and dejected. Later we came across another couple who
had exactly the same experience. The food is ordinary, the staff is
least helpful and the amenities are bad. To sum it all, this was the
most pathetic holiday resort stay we might have ever had. Another
word of caution - we made this booking through Padaki Tours and
travels Even they never gave an indication of what to expect at Eagle
Eye. We are never going back to them for organizing another holiday
for us.
