India's Daksh Resort: Thrills, Spills, & Unforgettable Family Fun!
Daksh Resort: My (Unfiltered!) Take on Thrills, Spills, and Family Chaos!
Alright, folks, let's talk Daksh Resort. This isn't your dry, corporate brochure review. This is me, fueled by lukewarm coffee and the lingering scent of chlorine, telling you the real deal about this place. Buckle up, because it's going to be a ride!
First things first: Accessibility. This is crucial, especially when you're lugging around a gaggle of kids or, you know, just want a place that gets it. Daksh seems to try. They say they have "Facilities for disabled guests," which is a good start. I didn't have a wheelchair user in tow on this trip (whew!), but I did see elevators and ramps, and the website mentions details so read up. I’d urge anyone relying on accessibility to call and double-check before booking. I want to make sure the resort is truly prepared.
Cleanliness and Safety: Okay, this is where Daksh really shines… or at least, wishes it could. Post-pandemic travel is… well, let’s just say I’m obsessed with hand sanitizer. Daksh has it, everywhere! They've got hand sanitizer stations strategically placed, and they've got Staff trained in safety protocol. They seem to be doing their best. They've got Daily disinfection in common areas and go for Sanitized kitchen and tableware items. They even brag about Professional-grade sanitizing services. Now, did I see all this in action? Hmm… let’s say I saw evidence of it. My room, for example, was apparently sanitized between stays. I’m not going to lie – I did my own wipe-down of high-touch surfaces when I got there. Did it make me feel safer? Sure. Did it completely erase my paranoia? Nope. Look, if you are super on the ball about germs, I’d call ahead and ask.
The Food… Oh, the Food!
Let's dive into the most important aspect of any holiday: Dining. Daksh has a gazillion options. Seriously, it's a buffet bonanza! We're talking Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine, Western breakfast, you name it! There are Restaurants, a Coffee shop, even a Poolside bar (hello, happy hour!). They've got A la carte in restaurant when you want to feel fancy, and they've got a Snack bar when you just need something quick.
The breakfast buffet was… well, let's just say it was an experience. Picture this: me, bleary-eyed at 7:30 am, trying to navigate a sea of hyperactive children and scrambled eggs. The Breakfast [buffet] was epic in size. There were pancakes, sausages, dosa, idli… You name it, they had it, but was it good? Honestly? Hit or miss. The fruit was surprisingly fresh, the coffee was surprisingly… coffee-like, and the sausages were… well, they were sausages. Let's just say I developed a close relationship with the Coffee/tea in restaurant. You'll want to get there early, though, especially if you have kids. This place is a magnet for the early bird buffet crew.
One day, I decided to be brave and try the Asian cuisine in restaurant. This could have been because I wanted to have a good meal. I was very happy with my selection and I’m sure you can find something you like there.
Things to Do (and How to Survive Them)
Things to do! This is where Daksh really makes its money. They've got a massive Swimming pool [outdoor]. It's actually quite beautiful, with a Pool with view. My kids spent hours splashing around. The water was cool, the sun was hot, and the general chaos was… delightful?
They also have a Fitness center, a Gym/fitness, and even a Spa/sauna! Now, I, personally, opted for the "all-inclusive naps" package, but I overheard some other guests raving about the Massage. So, if you're feeling ambitious, feel free to try the Spa. There is also a Body scrub and Body wrap. Me? I was just trying to survive the day!
For the Kids – A Mixed Bag
For the kids! Daksh claims to be family-friendly, and to be honest, it mostly delivers. They've got Family/child friendly facilities and a Babysitting service (though I didn't try it). The Kids meal are pretty standard fare. But, truth be told, the best entertainment for the kids was the pool and the chaos of the buffet breakfast.
The Rooms – Cozy Chaos
Let's talk Available in all rooms. The website promises, and you get, Air conditioning, Free Wi-Fi, and a Bathroom! We had one of the Non-smoking rooms (thank goodness!), and it was… well, it was clean enough. The Balcony was a nice touch. I definitely enjoyed the Coffee/tea maker. The Daily housekeeping was a lifesaver! My teenage daughters are little tornadoes, and the mess they can create is really scary! And thankfully, they have Hair dryer
Internet access worked fine, but not every room has a LAN port. They said Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! and Internet services.
The Verdict?
Look, Daksh Resort isn't perfect. It's got its quirks, its inconsistencies, and its moments of pure, unadulterated chaos. But it's also fun. It's a place where you can let your hair down, let the kids run wild (within reason!), and create some memories. And if you're looking for a place to escape the everyday grind, while having great access, a really great buffet and a fun environment, then this is it.

Curitiba's Hidden Gem: Hotel Nacional Inn - Santa Felicidade Luxury Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's meticulously planned travel itinerary. We're going to Daksh Resort and Amusement Park in India, and it's gonna be a ride. I'm talking rollercoaster of emotions, stomach churning food, and questionable life choices… all for the sake of a good time (and maybe a social media post or two). Let's face it, I'm not always the most organized thing in the hotel room, but I'm always up for an adventure.
Daksh Resort & Amusement Park: A Messy, Beautiful Disaster (Tentative Itinerary - Subject to Change Based on My Whims)
Day 1: Arrival and the Art of the Unplanned
- Morning (or Whenever I Actually Drag Myself Out of Bed): Airport chaos. Seriously, why is it always chaos? Finding my pre-booked car – and praying the driver understands my frantic hand gestures and broken Hindi. The journey to Daksh itself, I suspect it will be a glorious, chaotic, sensory overload. I'm already picturing cows casually strolling down the road, the honking symphony of India, and the vibrant colours of life whizzing past. My nerves are tingling!
- Afternoon: Check-in and the Pursuit of Bliss (and Possibly a Shower): I NEED a shower. Like, a full-blown exorcism-level shower after the airport. Hopefully, the resort is as stunning as the pictures online, because I'm holding out for the promise of tranquility. Then, the real fun (and the true test of my patience): navigating the resort. I'm already prepared to get lost, to ask for directions at least a dozen times. And probably to mispronounce the names of things constantly.
- Evening: Culinary Combat and First Impressions: Okay, time to eat! I'm going to be adventurous, that's what I'm telling myself. But let's be real, I'll probably stick to something familiar at first – or maybe I'll dive headfirst into the unknown. Prepare for a detailed report on the samosas, the curries, the spice level. I'm thinking I'll judge the resort mostly based on the quality of the chaat. And if the food is bad, well, tears might be involved. Followed by a stern review.
- Night: This is where it gets interesting. I'm hoping to catch some live entertainment at the resort. Imagine me, awkwardly clapping along, trying to understand the intricacies of Indian music. If the show is entertaining, I'll be whooping and cheering. If it's boring? Well, I might have an early night. Or I may find a bar, or a book, or maybe even just a quiet spot beneath the stars. The possibilities are endless, and that's the most thrilling part of all!
Day 2: Getting My Thrills & Slightly Overdoing It
Morning: Amusement Park Assault: This is why we're here, people! Rollercoasters, water slides, maybe even a dodgy-looking haunted house. My inner child is screaming with excitement, while my adult brain is whispering, "health insurance." I'm aiming to ride everything, even the things that look terrifying. I'll be your guinea pig, telling you which rides are worth the wait and which ones will have you questioning your life choices.
- Confession: I'm not great with heights. Or speed. Or anything that involves a sudden drop. But for the sake of a good story, I'll do it. I might even scream. A lot.
Afternoon: Water park escapades: I'm going to spend the afternoon at the water park. I’m not sure about the water quality, so I'll be wearing a lot of sun screen and maybe even goggles. Perhaps I'll find myself having a blast, perhaps I will feel I'm too old, or maybe I’ll just find a secluded spot where I can sunbathe.
Evening: Evening Stroll and Culinary Delights I'm going to try to unwind in the evening. There is an evening stroll which I can attempt. I'll attempt it and take some pictures. Then there is the resort's restaurant. I'm hoping the atmosphere is romantic, and that I can indulge in more delectable indian food.
Day 3: Exploring Daksh & Departure – Probably Exhausted
- Morning: Exploring the Resort and Surrounding Areas: I'm determined to explore the Daksh Resort and surrounding areas. Maybe there are hidden gardens, serene spots, or perhaps even a small, local shop where I can buy some souvenirs. I'm envisioning myself haggling like a pro, though I'm more likely to end up paying double the price because I can't stand the awkwardness of really hard bargaining.
- Afternoon: Relax and Reflect: I'll be soaking up the sun by the pool, reading a book, and reflecting on my experience. This is my official attempt at chill.
- Evening: The Emotional Farewell: The time has come to leave. I'll be emotional because of all the memories here. After this I will say goodbye to the Daksh, and will leave the hotel. Goodbye, India. I will miss you greatly and will return soon.
Imperfections, Ramblings, and Emotional Reactions (Because That's Me):
- The Food: I will probably gain five pounds from all the delicious food. I'm not even sorry.
- Emotions: I'll likely cry at some point - maybe from the spice, maybe from the beauty of it all, maybe just because I'm a sensitive soul.
- The Unexpected: There will be unexpected adventures. I guarantee it. Hopefully mostly good ones.
- The Truth: Overall, I'll be a mess. An honest, slightly chaotic, always-in-awe mess.
This is just a blueprint, folks. Reality will undoubtedly be messier, funnier, and more memorable than any carefully laid-out plan. But that's the beauty of it, isn't it? Pack your bags, hold on tight, and get ready to experience India (and Daksh Resort) through my eyes. It's going to be a wild ride! Wish me luck!

Daksh Resort: Unfiltered Family Fun & Fumbles! (Because Let's Be Real)
Okay, spill the beans! Is Daksh Resort REALLY as awesome as it looks on Insta?
Alright, alright, let me level with you. Instagram? Yeah, it’s all highlight reels, right? Daksh is...well, it's awesome, but also wonderfully *messy.* Think of it like this: the Insta pics are that perfect, sun-drenched picnic basket. The reality? You're juggling a screaming toddler, an overflowing juice box, and a swarm of ants is *definitely* having a party at your feet. So, yes and no. The views? Breathtaking. The staff? Generally lovely (more on that later). But expect a few bumps along the way. It's part of the charm, honestly. It adds to the memories. You'll laugh about the chaos later, I promise.
What about the activities? Are they actually FUN for kids (and, you know, adults who still secretly enjoy a good water slide)?
The activities? Okay, this is where Daksh really shines. The water park? Forget about it, it's a CHAMPION. My kids (aged 6 and 9) were in HEAVEN. Hours and HOURS of shrieking with delight – the kind of shrieking that makes you simultaneously want to join in AND hide in a quiet corner with a book. The slides are great, the lazy river is truly lazy (which, after chasing after children all day, you'll appreciate), and the wave pool? Pure, unadulterated, kid-fueled JOY. I even found myself getting dragged on a few times, and...dare I admit it...I had a blast. The adventure park stuff – the ropes course, the zip line – that was a different story. My inner child (who is now considerably older) freaked out. Heights? No thanks. But the kids LOVED it. And the look on their faces? Priceless. Totally worth the near-panic attack I experienced. Don’t underestimate the mini-golf either! It’s a sneaky source of family competition. (And, ahem, my husband *may* have cheated.)
What about the food? Will my picky eaters find something to eat? (Asking for a friend... who is me.)
The food... ah, the eternal family vacation question. Okay, real talk: Daksh offers a decent spread. Expect a good mix of Indian and international options. The buffet is your friend, especially with picky eaters. There's usually something for everyone. Pizza? Check. Pasta? Check. Dal and roti? Double check. The downside? Occasionally, the food can be a little... predictable. Nothing mind-blowing, but definitely edible. The biryani was a winner, the pancakes were a solid breakfast choice, and the kids devoured the chicken nuggets (of course!). My friend, who *is* a picky eater, found plenty to enjoy. But don't expect Michelin-star quality. Think more along the lines of "comfort food after a long day of swimming." And bring snacks. Always bring snacks. You’ll thank me later. Because kids and hunger do NOT mix well. Trust me.
The rooms – are they comfortable? Do they have good AC? (Because, India.)
Yes and yes…ish. The rooms are generally comfortable, clean, and spacious. Think modern, but not overly luxurious. The AC? Crucial. Absolutely essential. And, thankfully, it works. We were sweating buckets just getting from the car to the reception. So, the AC was a lifesaver! The beds were reasonably comfy, the bathrooms were functional (though, let's be honest, with kids, "clean" is a relative term, right?). We had a minor issue with the shower one day (the water pressure mysteriously disappeared), but a quick call to housekeeping and it was sorted within minutes. The view from our balcony was GORGEOUS. Worth the price of admission alone, seriously. However – be prepared for the occasional power cut. It’s India. It happens. But they usually have backup generators. So it's more of a blink-and-you-miss-it type of thing.
Okay, let's talk about the *staff*. Are they helpful? Friendly? (Or do I need to bring my own patience?)
The staff... this is a mixed bag. Most of the staff are genuinely lovely, helpful, and go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. They are incredibly patient with kids, always smiling, and eager to assist. The reception staff were efficient and friendly, the housekeeping staff were super diligent, and the restaurant staff were generally attentive. But, and there’s always a but, there were a few minor hiccups. A couple of minor communication challenges (language barrier, maybe? Or just a general lack of enthusiasm?). For example, we ordered room service one night, and... well, let's just say the description on the menu didn't quite match what arrived. It was still tasty, though. It’s India, you know? Things don't always go perfectly. But the overall experience was overwhelmingly positive. And honestly, a little bit of imperfection is part of the adventure, isn’t it? Bring your patience, sure, but also bring your appreciation for genuine effort. Because they try, and that counts for a lot.
Is there anything REALLY negative I should know before I go? Any major pitfalls?
Okay, okay, the BIGGEST thing to be aware of? The crowds. Daksh is popular. REALLY popular. So, expect to jostle a little for a sun lounger by the pool. Early bird catches the worm (or the comfortable chair, in this case!). Weekends are particularly hectic. Try to go during the week if you can, or be prepared to embrace your inner "pushy tourist." Also, be prepared for potential delays at mealtimes during peak hours. The buffet can get a bit chaotic, especially at breakfast. My hot tip? Go early! Avoid the rush. And pack extra sunscreen. You'll need it. And maybe a decent noise-canceling headphones, just in case… those kids get loud when they are excited and when they aren't.
Let's talk about THE WORST thing that happened. What was your Daksh disaster?
Okay, here’s the lowdown on the Daksh Delight Gone Wrong. We decided to go on the zip line. Stupidly. I’m not good with heights, as I mentioned. My husband, bless his cotton socks, thought it would be “a great family activity.” He thought wrong. After watching the kids safely zip over the pool (they LOVED it, obviously), it was my turn. And… I froze. Completely and utterly froze. Strung up in the air, strapped in like a human sausage, staring down at what felt like a bottomless pit of despair (actually, just the swimming pool). The staff were incredibly patient (again, bless them, they were used to people like me, no doubt), but I just couldn’t doHotel Bliss Search
