Nice off beat destination for a Mumbai traveller. Good clean rooms and nice property. Early morning bird watching, night safari in historic vishalgad forest is worth a visit. Recommend to take the bigger rooms.

We visited the resort over the last weekend (April-2013) and were pleasantly surprised by the overall experience we had there!! Location : This resort is located further away from the highway and is densely covered by forest, thus the over all atmosphere here is clean and serene. Most of the resorts in Amba are situated along the highway and we... More

Food was good with lot of variety on offer. The bathrooms are clean. The rooms need to be done up & need some interior designing.They are very... More

If you truly want to get away from the drudgery of sounds of human civilization Amba is the place for you. The place has a rustic charm with its spread out property and cozy cottages. The place has a leisurely pace to it much like the beaches of Goa minus the crowds. You have the option of chilling around the... More

We had a recent team trip(19-20Jan) there and it was a fun experience. Food is really good but never ask for BBQ. It's very bad. Pool is in good condition but has freezing cold water.

I had been at Jungle Resort Amba on 11th. The quality and quantity of food is good. But the cost for the food is too costly. Vegitarian Lunch without any desert at 150/-. I felt it on a costlier side. However, having said this, the food was tasty. I would say, Rs.100/- can be justifiable for it.
