10/10
We stayed at Mavi Retreat during our trip to Badami, Pattadkal and Aihole. It is a brand new resort ( ~7 months old). The rooms were excellent - with nice comfortable beds, very good western bathrooms. The restaurant food was excellent - made fresh to order, at the mild spice level as we requested. The breakfast had limited options (omlette, paratha, poori/chhole), but the preparation was great and it was available till 10.30am. We could easily have breakfast after participating in the early morning pooja/abhishekam at the Banashankari temple. The staff was prompt and courteous.
The resort had arrangements for the driver of our car to sleep, bathe etc
Overall, excellent place to stay. It could be a little pricier compared to other nearby places, but it is worth it.
I would recommend the following for the resort to make the customer experience even better - (1) provide a safe in the room to keep important documents like passports (2) provide a mini fridge and microwave in the room (3) offer south indian dishes option for breakfast/meals given the location (Badami in South India) - idli, dosa, uttapam, sambhar, upma
