The Meadows

Surrounded by 5.2 hectares (13 acres) of pleasant greenery, this small resort is great if you'd rather stay out of town. Accommodations are in a variety of simple cottages, the size and level of privacy varying according to price. Deluxe units are quite basic, so opt for the superior category (ask for G1), with white marble flooring, stiff cane chairs, and tiled bathrooms with drench showers. Save for the striped drapes, there's not a lot of decoration, but the plain white rooms are fine when contrasted with the lush garden surroundings. There's plenty here to keep young children occupied (including rabbits) while you relax in a quiet corner after sightseeing under the Maharashtrian sun (albeit with highway traffic noise now a constant presence). Breakfast is served poolside, under large, umbrella-like canopies; exotic birds, wild parrots, and butterflies provide the entertainment, and while staff aren't all adept at English, everyone puts in a good enough effort. Note: Apparently, a major revamp and upgrade is scheduled, and with this might come a big jump in prices; call ahead to check.
