Positive: Dolphin Nose Retreat in Kodaikanal turned out to be a hidden gem that far exceeded the family’s expectations. What was planned as a standard two-night hill-station stay quickly became one they wished they had extended to three. The private balcony offered breathtaking layered valley views, becoming the undisputed highlight where the family spent long, peaceful moments watching the mist and changing light. Breakfast impressed with its fresh, authentic South Indian buffet, especially the soft idlis, flavorful sambar, and pongal that even their picky daughter enjoyed. An unexpected air hockey table provided hours of fun for the kids and was possibly the only one in town. Secure, sheltered on-site parking gave complete peace of mind after the long drive from Chennai, adding to the overall satisfaction with the warm staff, great views, and entertaining stay.
Negative: I don’t think if anything to be mentioned, as we are fully satisfied.
Summary: A hidden gem that genuinely exceeded our expectations!

Positive: Stepping into Dolphin Nose Retreat felt like a gentle hug after a long journey – instantly, The cleanliness was impeccable, But oh, the views from our balcony! They weren't just views; they were living paintings that changed with every passing hour. Watching the mist dance over the mountains in the morning, sipping hot chai, felt like a secret whispered just to us. And the food… it was like a warm embrace!, the good food taste reminding me of home-cooked goodness. Breakfast was awesome, and Al Carte was worth the money. The nearby attractions felt like extensions of the retreat's charm, inviting us to wander and discover nature's magic. We left with our hearts full, carrying not just memories, but a feeling of rejuvenation, We took a daily trek to Dolphin Nose itself, Dolphin Nose Retreat isn't just a place to stay; it's a place to feel alive.
Negative: Nothing much to mention about
Summary: Excellent Stay

Positive: The Dolphin Nose Retreat is a lovely hotel situated on the cliff with a stunning spectacular view from your room. You actually can relax in your bed and see the scenic valley from the huge window. Regarding the staff, they were wonderful, from the start they helped us with everything we needed, they showed us where to walk around to see the sites, they even helped us with our laundry. The breakfast was very good and at request they prepared omelette for us. I warmly recommend the Dolphin Nose retreat!!
