In 2018, I had the chance to experience the luxurious hospitality of Vivanta Surajkund during an office event. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Additionally, we had the opportunity to meet the Delhi Dynamos FC Team (Indian Premier League), which was a truly memorable moment for me. Here’s a detailed review of my stay at Vivanta Surajkund.
Room with a view of the infinity pool
I stayed in the Deluxe Pool View Room, overlooking the stunning infinity pool and Surajkund fairground. The room was spacious, with large windows, a separate dressing area, and a well-equipped bathroom with a bathtub and shower. Moreover, the bed was super comfortable and had high-quality linen.
The interiors and decor
The hotel boasts a minimalist, contemporary design with stunning exterior landscaping. The exterior architecture resembles a stepwell, and the interior features a blend of art, history, and culture. The well-lit lobbies display modern artwork, including an impressive tree sculpture in the center. Overall, the hotel’s decor and surroundings are a beautiful blend of greenery and contemporary style.
Pottery, games, and more
Vivanta Surajkund offers a variety of enjoyable activities to enhance the guest experience, including personalized pottery classes and relaxing yoga sessions. They also have a Cricket zone featuring an automatic bowling machine, which is a fantastic option for families with children. I tried my hands at pottery and played badminton and cricket with my colleagues for a while. Overall, we had a great time sweating out at the court and learning a new craft.
Pro tip: If you are having trouble finding the badminton court. Just head to the basement parking area, and you will find it there.
Food at Vivanta Surajkund
One of the standout aspects of my trip was the food. The dinner buffet offered a blend of Indian and Asian cuisine, including delicious spring rolls and mouthwatering Butter Chicken paired with soft, buttery Naan bread. The breakfast buffet was a mix of Indian and continental, including juicy sausages, crisp made-to-order dosas, and North India staple Aloo Puri.
Relaxing by the infinity pool
The hotel’s pool is a stunning and picturesque location, with an infinity pool overlooking the Aravallis and the hotel itself with bougainvilleas hanging from the balconies. Therefore, I decided to spend some time relaxing and soaking in the sun by the pool before heading to my everyday life.
My stay at Vivanta Surajkund was a great mix of fun and relaxation. The hotel offered everything I needed, from delicious food to beautiful views and comfortable rooms. If you’re planning on attending the annual Surajkund Crafts Mela, which takes place in January and February, I highly recommend staying at this property.
