I was on the outer edge of my second trimester(last trip before my self imposed travel ban) when we went to the Serai.

The place has a unique charm, which is enhanced by a very knowledgable and careful staff. The pool in the room is just icing on the cake. My 4-yr old loved splashing around. Since my... More

One of the most luxurious hotels I have visited in the recent past .The resort has an amazing view and the highlight of the place is definitely its interiors, the private pool attached to each room and of course the coffee estate surrounding the resort.

Though we stayed at a different property in Chikmaglur, visited the Serai for all meals. Place is luxury redefined, amidst lush green surroundings, coffee plantations. Of course quite expensive but if you see the things on offer, the price is worth it. Luxuriously designed villas with private pools. Restaurant has a royal spread for all buffets. Pleasant sitting area in... More

There couldn't have been a better to celebrate my husbands birthday. I was really impressed and came back home with wonderful memories. Now... More
