Jas tge stay was just around Easter time, I had a ‘divine’ experience at the Tamara! I have heard about Jesus feeding 5000 people with 5 pieces of bread. This is just what the promoters are doing here. Trying to cater to the guests with little or no staff at all. They should perhaps stick to their core competence of running an IT company and not foray into hospitality. They could run IT companies with mass hiring as and mass layoffs according to the work flow/ contracts, but a hotel needs a decent amount of workforce to run efficiently. The only saving grace is the food. Rest everything suffers because the property is terribly understaffed. Delay in service, lack of sufficient/ trained service staff are all quite evident. No proper table set up. No proper buggy arrangement. The property has 2 buggies and one person to man it per shift! Some of the staff are quite nice, but they are stretched too thin and so the result is terrible! If it goes this way, this property/ brand will soon come to a tragic end. Perhaps they don’t care because there is only limited choice for all the crowd that comes to kodaikanal and they property will have high occupancy, but the authorities must reconsider their star category and adjust it accordingly so people can expect less.

The Tamara Kodai is a nice property with good rooms and facilities. The restaurant and buffet selection is very good. The staff is excellent. There are places that are in walkable distance and there is a beautiful lake nearby where you can go boating. The weather is also good since the elevation is 7500 feet above sea-level. Great property and nice place to visit for a few days!

Had such a great time with Tamara. Hands down one of the best experience in Kodai. The property is truly top notch in every way and the staff goes above and beyond to keep you satisfied. In particular, the trek and travel guide Mr.Ravi was phenomenal and I thoroughly enjoyed my trek experience with him. He is able to identify every flora and fauna and wildlife in the region and carries a rich wisdom of history. I highly recommend taking a trip with him!
