I had a mixed experience at the Ummed. The hotel grounds are absolutely stunning and peaceful, making it a great spot for a getaway. The rooms are large and clean, but some maintenance is needed. Unfortunately, the dining was not impressive, which was disappointing considering the lovely atmosphere. The service had its moments, but there were definitely some issues to address. Overall, it has potential, but some upgrades and training would help greatly.

My stay at the hotel was nothing short of extraordinary! The massive grounds are a beautiful oasis featuring lush greenery, peacocks, and a cozy ambiance. The swimming pool is huge and clean, adding to the luxurious experience. However, I felt that the dining options could use a bit more variety for guests looking for non-veg items.
