Calming steps @ Radisson

In the hustle bustle of Mumbai one often chooses to take a weekend trip to a close by destination, we choose Radisson at Alibaugh. Not too far away from the city one can have a good drive to this place or even enjoy a boat ride (if not a monsoon season). As you enter the premises you experience the calm silence that makes you feel you are in another country. As soon as you enter right from the valet service to reception desk an till you reach ur room, you do not have any anxiety what do ever. Welcome drink and pleasant stay is always assured at Radisson.
The rooms we booked were small private villas which have your own extended garden in the front and back side...completely private space for a romantic evening i must say.... or even if kids accompany they can play as they like...or at max read a book in the chilling winter evenings. The rooms are spacious and can easily accomodate an extra bed if need be. The best is the room service offered, you ask for it and you get it. The spa at radisson has the best international products used and the service is prompt and very comfortable. The spa experience is a must do at Radisson.
I loved the area where the restaurants are placed perfectly blending with the architecture and the surrounding nature. Lush green kawns and amazing water pools surround whats a unique experience. Food options are varied nd the platter is vast to feel left if nothing. The Non-veg options are plenty and best served hot whenever you order it.
I do recommend their breakfast - its a wide choice to choose from and its always good to have it before you go for ur swim or to the health club.
The quite end of the place is also a reading room which is so serene and quite you could spend an entire afternoon reading books from all genres and subjects... loved the way they have choosen books on travel and antique jewellery, when else would you plan your next destination. This was my first step to a calming experience.
Walking on big lawns for a good morning walk or even taking to their quite corners for reading a book...Radisson sure knows how to keep you at your best on a holiday.
