Mouthwatering Meals

I absolutely loved the food at Sal Woods. The buffet dinner was particularly impressive, and I can't stop thinking about the Paneer Lababdar! The variety offered was good and catered to everyone's taste. It truly made our stay more enjoyable!

Fun for Kids!

The kids' playing area was wonderfully designed, providing countless hours of enjoyment for my children. They particularly enjoyed the outdoor games and activities, which kept them engaged and active throughout our stay. It was perfect for family time!

Cozy Cottages

We booked a deluxe cottage, and it was awesome! The wooden interiors gave it a cozy vibe, and while there was a slight smell initially, it quickly faded. The comfort of the room added to the entire experience.

Relaxing Atmosphere

I found the atmosphere at Sal Woods truly relaxing. Even though the pool and spa services were unavailable during my stay, the surrounding nature more than made up for it. I felt rejuvenated and at peace throughout my time there.

I had a wonderfully relaxing stay at The Sal Woods Forest Retreat & Spa, surrounded by nature and beautiful landscapes. The food, especially the 'Paneer Lababdar', was mouthwatering. However, I was disappointed that the pool and spa services were unavailable due to the ongoing situation. I definitely appreciated the friendly service from Mr. Arjun and Sohan Bhaia, but I think there's room for improvement in the kids' zone.
