After checking out from the serene Rivanta Farms, we made our way to the next destination- Guhagar. Guhagar is a beach side town which is about an hour and a little away from Chiplun. The roads were pretty good, albeit curvy and fraught with villagers and cattle crossings. So, it is always good to maintain a safe speed and distance while driving on these roads. We had opted for Regenta Mango Village, a Royal Orchid property for our stay at Guhagar. The property is just off the main road, up a hill, and quite large. The entire place is spread across 17 acres and comprises of an array of Konkani themed cottages set amidst mango and cashew trees. Fiest things first, the place is an absolute delight for birding - we could catch sunbirds, bulbuls, robins and the whole gang...We stayed in a cottage with a separate iving room and a bedroom, with a large lawn outside.. While the property is beautiful, the rooms are not as well kept, and showed their age and lack of maintenance. I believe Royal Orchid has only recerntly taken up the place from the previous management, and are in the process of making changes. It would be very helpful if the management spruces up it's act quickly on this front, because everything else about the place is nice. Food in the buffets was nice most often, and the only time we thought it could be better was the day we opted for a la carte. The swimming pool, club house and play area were quite nice too. The staff were friendly and helpful, though we did think that they could do better with some additional training, especially with respect to housekeeping and dining. For some reason, the hotel does not offer wifi, which is a negative in today's era. The beautiful Guhagar beach is a 10 minute drive from the hotel, and a must visit when at Regenta. The beautiful Hedvi Ganesha and velneshwar temples, Bamanghal with the beautiful natural fountain during high tide and the Anjanvel forts are places that are not too far away from Regenta. Overall, a beautiful resort which we would love to come back to once the cottages are refurbished.
