A resort situated in a serene location. So quite and charming. All one can hear are just the sound of leaves and birds. And surprisingly it (the location) is well maintained, "for the govt standard".
There are two islands. The glass cottage is situated in island 2. The only possible way to access is by a boat from island 1. One to and fro ride is included in the hotel booking. Heard one will be charged extra if needs to come back to island 1 in between the stay. Island 1 is connected to the ground with a hanging bridge. There are regular rooms available in island 1 and dormitory in island 2, apart from glass cottages in island 2.
Now coming to the service. It's not bad (doesn't mean it was good), again considering the govt standard. The care taker was courteous. Unfortunately, he couldn't even arrange 2 towels for the room. And there is no proper restaurant there. One has to call for food which will be delivered from the Island 1. No tea, snacks as well. However they deliver the dinner and breakfast ahead of time.
And the rooms... It was splendid on first look. The idea was good. But, it looked like they executed the project with just a mason, forget the architect, not even a civil engineer didn't look like overlook it. So many small openings which helps small insects to breach in. Of course, it is OK to accept it while staying with nature. But, how about RATS? They live on the ceiling and was constantly disturbing the night sleep.
If one can manage with the nuisance of rats in the room, it is one of the best place to enjoy at least once. (Also keep in mind that you are staying in a govt property. So, keep your expectations low)
Note: instead of running such beautiful facility with a poorly maintained room and wasting public money which falls on our head in the name of fuel price tax apart from other taxes, the govt should open such things to private players who can run them profitably with affordable tariff.

Very very very good. Would give 10 stars out of 5. Very good view. It is very peaceful. No animals. Enjoyed a lot. We can play in the garden and there is an adventure park nearby in which we can enjoy. Sunset view is awesome. The dormitory room was very good and it gives you a feeling of travelling in a houseboat. There is a view point on the island. The only problem is drinking water. Had to bring it from the main island. We have to come and go in a boat. Food is also brought through boats.

Such a beautiful location but pathetically maintained. Torn and dirty bedsheets, rat in the room, food served without any spoons/bowls. No blankets were provided. Mosquitoes and insects in the room. With such a poor state of this property, it's impossible to revisit this place after such an experience.

Best place to visit in winter season the climate and nature will be super cool it will be too difficult to reach the resort as it is 8 km away from the highway and finding a ride to reach might be a tuff task I suggest to go in a own vehicle,book the rooms in online as they don't provide any offline bookings food was just okay! There are two islands to stay there hygiene and cleanliness is just average

Few key things to note if you are planning to stay there. 1. We stayed in Island 1 AC room. Room was spacious and well maintained as per government standards. Great view from room. There are many negative reviews for rooms in Island 2 which is only accessible by boat from Island 1 2. Food options are limited and not good. We actually carried food and snacks 3. It's better to stay there rather than just visit the bridge/lake if you are nature lover and enjoy watching sunrise and sunset. Beautiful views from the island. 4. Take less luggage as you need to walk from the parking area over the bridge to reach island 1

Nice place to go chill with friends and family. View is excellent from glass rooms. Expecting Food service to be better. Food options are less. Boating, river view and staying in island feel is good.

Excellent place but bad and poorly maintained Haritha stay at Island 2. Worst Washroom smells in whole room throughout the day. No food or water bottles at this place. Need to wait for food till 9.30 PM.
Best view points to visit like a Day trip but Worst place to stay there. No recommended place with small kids as food options are very limited.
It will be a excellent Tourist place in Telangana if maintained properly .
