Vijay Vilas Heritage Resort

One of the worst resorts I have been to in a very very long time. Rooms are small and untidy. Very dated and require renovation. The bathrooms have no hot water and is impossible to use during winters. Food is very average. The restaurant by the beach is infested with bugs and requires better planning and decor. Overall please do not go here even on a free stay.

We had booked a villa but due to some confusion we reached a day late as we were traveling by road. We were accomodated in their heriratage room. Although grateful, we ended up paying too much for a shabby room with no character. The room was not in any state or condition to be part of a 'palace resort'. The food was tasty but very limited spread served in run-down dining hall. They do have a private beach, which is clean and tidy, but the property is quite far from their beach area. You can only reach there using a transport riding through thick forest. The dinner was served on the beach in a featureless and dull shed. There are hardly activities that can be enjoyed at the beach, making the experience really boring and monotonous. The palace is a tourist attraction, and there is always a huge crowd there. Wirh just one counter, there is a long queue to procure the ticket for the palace. The staff was uninterested and lazy. This was not the experience that we expected.The place needs a complete overhaul, for sure.

Just wonderful in all terms. Have to stay here, nowhere else. We got a villa which felt like being somewhere in a safari national park, a 2 minute walk to the palace. Manager, cannot recall his name, lived in middle east so got to practice some arabic. Hotel arranged a dinner at a private beach and met my special request of what to eat, it was cooked to perfection and the chef came to ask how it was. A fire was lit on the beach with other guests and this was an experience which we can never forghe, Breakfast was brilliant as well. Worth staying 2 nights as the ambience is so beautiful and in December the weather too. Cannot fault this property. Management continue with the good work.

The food is good. Room is good. However, one of the 2 rooms we booked had a sewage fumes rising and filling the room overnight. We raised this with the management in the morning and they quickly responded. We cannot confirm if the issue was taken care of as we checked out at 10. We left the door open and the odor seemed to dissipate.

Nice cozy room with friendly staff. Offbeat location perfect for gateway.

Like other places in our Gujarat trip..as we prefer Bhunga or haveli stay, we never hesitate twice to opt Vijay Vilas Heritage Resort as our stay for 2 days at Mandvi ...and this property gives something more than our expectations.. The best thing obviously the Heritage Resort itself..with ethnic decor..spacious rooms n Toilet..very clean and well equipped with all modern amenities.. The ambiance is just excellent..the Villa and Swimming pool with garden in other side..that part is charming too.. Vijay Vilas palace is within very close proximity to visit in morning before crowd gathers.. The staffs in Dining are very friendly and they add more taste with their warmness to hot n freshly served awesome food for dinner n breakfast both.. As in our 2 days stay..one day we getr beachfront Dinner with music..and as the day was our Anniversary date..the Ambiance is something special for us..we will remember the day forever..specially the voice.. The Most attractive part is the Personal Beach..900 meters away from our stay and it is India's Largest private beach, where we can enjoy morning time..Sundown show without any unwanted crowds..its a large advantage to stay here.. Price is worthy if one compared with other beach resorts of Mandvi..and total ambiance is magical We Strongly recommend to travelers to make stay here while you are at Mandvi..Taste the best essence of Heritage with Luxury..
