November 24th – 26th, 2021.
It took 2 hrs 10 mins to reach the resort from our house in Kasba. After diverting from Diamond Harbour Road towards Falta and then towards Shamsundarpur, we drove through the narrow roads and the crowded village markets, but once we reached the spot we just loved it. Reception by the staffs was overwhelming. We could see the beautiful lawn and the river from the reception desk. Quickly finished the check-in formalities and went straight to the river side.
After crossing the beautifully manicured lawn with the swimming pool on the left, we came to the shade on the protruding concrete platform, which gives you a beautiful feeling of being on top of the river and the water flowing beneath you. Along the riverfront, there are benches and chairs for the tourists to sit and spend some intimate time with the river. We sat there under the shed with thatched roof. During high tide the water reaches the pillars of the hanging platform and one gets the feeling of being on top of the water.
Tea and Breakfast was served to us at the Protruded platform in lovely white bone-china crockery and in teapot with tea-cozy. The breakfast and tea tasted as good as the presentation, and the mild breeze and nature merged to provide an excellent feast for the mind & soul.
None of us had taken leave from office and had planned to work-from-home or resort. So we sat beside the river with our laptops and worked throughout the day, while occasionally gazing at the river and watched at the frequenting barges and country-boats. The nature, the view and the ambience of this place, simply made our day. This was our first experiment of workation and it worked superb.
Lunch was a simple and tasty affair, comprising of Bengali thalis with options of egg, mutton, chicken and various types of fishes.
All the rooms are river-facing and have a huge fixed-glass window with comfortable sofas to sit and watch the beauty from inside.
This was our second visit to this resort. The first time we came, was in November 2019 and this year again in November 2021. Both the times, with a common purpose – our Anniversary. It was sort of a Destination Anniversary and this time, thanks to Covid, our daughter also accompanied us. We appreciate the Service Boys’ gesture to create a beautiful ambience and organise a candle-light dinner for us in platform and we enjoyed it thoroughly.
A special thanks to Mr. Islam and his team for the wonderful services they provided and made our stay comfortable.
The resort has three wi-fi connections and all are good, but people willing to do Work from Home with heavy file and using Zoom or Goole Meet might face problem. To attract such customers, the resort needs to get better wi-fi.
