The resort is the brain child of <a href="http://www.indecohotels.in/steve.html">Steve Borgia</a> of <a href="http://www.indecohotels.in/">Indeco Hotels</a>.<br /><br />The minute you step into a very discreet entrance, you are transported to the 19th century.<br />You are welcomed with temple bells ringing and a beautiful 'Kolam'- Rangoli design at the entrance. The setting is very rustic with the ambience like that of an old south indian village.<br /><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5081408051172268098" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_PpVVIxeD6f_nTnkyVOv1iKayupEmQ_uUVVQe0ohE7wElUdsDVZh_ndTAROeSCL1-v3ZMF0xBk_M5CY94FHrvp6Ll3KDjlTdg7qpTesfmxD-c9UIkvDjHs39j7A7wnn4J8OAMa_ljOGOH/s400/ss18.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" />Amazing terracotta figures of Gods & Goddesses are scattered all around the resort.
