A short trip to Manor....

It was our toddlers post birthday celebrations and we landed up at Manor...Yeah Manor..a beautiful town located in the banks of Vaitarna river.

Only a Mumbaikar knows how important is it to have a serene lush greenery view when you lead a life here...It was such a relaxing weekend..We packed our bags and took a direct train from Borivilii to get down at Palghar ( our short trips always comprises of a local train and its airways for a relatively long journey as my tiny tot has motion sickness so road isn't a good option for us.

Though we badly wanted to be at a hill station like Lonavala experiencing monsoon but thanks to siddhu..we landed at Manor.

Before the journey started, i was told by my husband that we would be staying at a pure veg resort and yes, i was taken aback...why on earth will someone go on a weekend trip and eat ' ghaas - phooss ' but as always i never question is analyzing abilities...courtesy his desk researching abilities.He ensures that be it everything from journey to stay to other factors are well taken care so that we ( specially our prince ) has no problems.

The resort- Silent Hill ' is right on the Mumbai- Ahmedabad highway.This property is on 60+ acers land with good manicured gardens, landscapes.I give full marks to the view..most of their rooms have an awesome view..imagine getting up with a view of a flowing river..aha..thats the best part.

Its a beautiful option if you have kids along ..there are quite a few rides...a equally beautiful garden and lots of open space...and of course a decent water park ( please dont compare it with a water kingdom / suraj waterpark )..its a small yet exciting place with multiple water rides...Siddhanth thouroughly enjoyed hours at the swimming pool and the rain dance...thats one thing is definitely the value for the buck.

I was a bit dissapointed with the quality of the food served..though the options were there..it was a multi cuisine buffet options but overall it was a let down.

Food has always been the most exciting part of our trips but this time it was a sure shot let down.

Hospitality was a bit laid back...though the staff was quite cordial but i somehow thought it could have been a little more prompt.

I  don't think we might want to go back to the resort again...but yeah, the day charges at the waterpark sounds a good option for a second chance.

Siddhanth had a great time but yes, we realized that he missed riding on a horse and a camel safari which he truly enjoyed in his last trips to mysore, coorg and daman.

Nothing much to talk about..but yeah one must try this resort once..maybe just for the stay and the view.
