10/10 Excellent

"We had a great experience. The staff were very kind, friendly, and helpful. The resort was beautiful, peaceful, and not crowded at all. We felt completely relaxed and enjoyed the calm and serene atmosphere. It was the perfect place to unwind and enjoy nature. Highly recommended!"

Zacs Valley Resort & Wellness Retreat Kodaikanal

8/10 Good

"Resort was good with clean rooms, courteous staff as well-found amenities like zip line, rope walking etc. through did not personally explore. Buffet B.Fast had decent spread and tasty. They also provided an option of dinner included in your package. The negative side is, 1. This resort is approx. 15-20km from Kodaikanal city center(lake) and hence you need to add 1hr each side while planning your site-seeing trips which can be tiresome during peak holiday season. 2. This resort is situated in deep valley from Palani-Kodai Road and will feel less cool than Kodaikanal center. Our visit was during X'Mas 2025 hence it was pleasant like in Bangalore. 3. Internal road to the cottages can get challenging due steep inclination like 50-60 degrees and hence advise to be cautious while parking in you allocated cottage. It is advised to first time check the parking allocated by walk and later get the car. They also have property vehicle to transfer people & luggage. Last 2km road to the resort is kutcha. "

Velan Temple View
