Sumedha Dutta

Honey Dewzz hotel is excellent. Awesome overall experience!!😍 The property is wonderful, they took care of every minute necessities like children park, good indoor games, swimming pool, bonfire, good nature view, mountain view, well maintained garden, cafe, delicious food and well behaved staffs. We stayed at Bourbon executive room. The room size is grand. The view from the room is breathtaking! The location of the property is very strategic. It’s in between the most preferred views - Hebbe falls and Mullyangiri hill. I would visit this property again and would definitely recommend this property. Thanks to Rakshit from Thrillophilia. We booked another resort, that got canceled the day before travel. But he took special care and arranged this resort with some additional charges.
