The Serai Kabini | Resort in Kanakanahalli, Karnataka

“The location is beautiful overlooking the Kabini river ! Staff is courteous! The water activities are fun ! Had an enjoyable stay ! ”

“Beautiful property, serene and tranquil ”

“Excellent place !”

“Unique is the location ,which brings a calmness to the place. The service is really good but the Alacarte service can be long based on your order. More menu items can be added as well. The properry has a wonderful pool which is well maintained. Staff are very polite and ever ready to help”

“Tranquil location that is tucked away from bustle of a city. Access to backwaters and the unobstructed view from each room is excellent.”

“Gorgeous property with genuinely lovely staff. The on-site naturalist Chamu was particularly fantastic. I wanted to address two things that I believe could genuinely help the property improve. 1. Staff seems mainly hired from local community, which is lovely. We found everyone to have the absolute right attitude and approach to service. However, more training is required. None of the staff knew what an iced latte was or how to make any iced coffee drink without adding a ton of sugar. Several Western requirements for food also not catered to or understood. Also, we heard the head chef greet the kitchen staff with a loud, "Jai Shree Ram". Several staff were not Hindu and also, as guests, this felt incredibly unprofessional and problematic. It made us deeply uncomfortable and was likely uncomfortable (to put it mildly) for any non-Hindu staff. This is the absolute most BASIC requirement for staff to show up as professionals and leave political and religious affiliations to the personal domain. This fact alone would be a reason for us not to come stay again. 2. Eco-friendliness--we loved the glass jugs of water in our room instead of plastic bottles. Many resorts are also doing away with individually-packaged bath products. This would be a great win for Serai. Also, to require guests to carry their own water bottles on safaris, instead of providing plastic bottles. ”

“Such a wonderful safari resort for families. We stayed two nights and it was wonderful. Very clean and attentive staff. Food options were great and our child with a wheat allergy had plenty of options. My wife enjoyed the spa and the kids enjoyed the play area. We will definitely be back again and only stay at Serai.”

“Staff, ambience, view!! ”

“Amazing property amidst nature. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Special call-out to the Property Manager Salim and also Lohit from the restaurant ”

“This was our first break after lockdown and we couldnt have chosen a better place. We felt comforted and safe at the same time. Will go back soon.”
