The Oberoi Vanyavilas, Ranthambhore

I can only repeat what other guests have said about this wonderful place. From the warm and personal welcome by Ratna to the serenity and beauty of the grounds, everything was wonderful. Our luxury tent was a great size with pleasant outdoor seating area, beautifully furnished and a huge comfy bed. We ate meals in the hotel and they were all delicious and catered well for my gluten allergy. We stayed in a few Oberoi hotels on the trip and in my opinion this offers the best food with a great selection of delicious fresh dishes. Service was impeccable from everyone and there is a real feeling of warmth about the place. We did three safaris and saw tigers and many other animals. Sunrise is definitely the best and most exhilarating time to go. We arranged this through Trailfinders and the private guides were excellent and worth being on a jeep of just four people. The pool area is smallish but very pretty, a walk round the grounds up the tower and time to relax and enjoy this haven is a must. Sadly we didn’t do the star gazing, maybe next time!!

One of the best hotels with incredible attention to detail. The star gazing experience is so unique and managed in a wonderful manner. The team at Vanyavilas ensures that you have no option but to go back and experience their amazing hospitality.

Has been home away from home for me for a decade now. Defined by the personal touch of its leader Ratna ji and team members like Divyesh, Nishkarsh who leave no stone unturned to make every little thing special. Special mention also for Aftab and Aishwarya for going above and beyond always.

My wife, our children and I didn't like the Oberoi Vanyavilas Wildlife Resort, Ranthambore, we LOVED it! I would recommend this resort to anyone! From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, our stay was absolutely spectacular! Equally, the Tiger Safari was amazing.

One of 5 Oberoi hotels stayed at during our 'Golden Triangle' tour. As we found throughout all 5 Oberoi hotels the exceptionally well trained and attentive staff with their own personalities. All gardens, structures and amenities exceptionally well maintained. The ‘Luxury Tent’ (with solid walls) in a private garden gave a feeling of being in a nature reserve in a tent under canvas yet with luxury furniture and facilities providing a themed and an ideal start for our planned 2 safaris into the Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve. Evening dining, entertainment and quality of food made memorable evenings. The Observation tower provides excellent views of the hotel grounds and natural countryside. Once climbed to the top –forgot your water bottle? –no problem --there is a fridge up there with complementary cold-water bottles! Seamless service from welcome on arrival to departing. A private open jeep (with official driver and guide) is a great way to experience the Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve –early morning just after sunrise being an ideal time for chances of seeing a wild Tiger.
