Rayaa Resort - the River Club

Huge plus of this property is that it is located right beside the Cauvery River. Great place for a family outing or a business offsite as well. Lots of options for outdoor games and boating. There are few tourist spots to visit if anyone wants to. Rooms are bit dated.

A weekend trip, the idea was, breakfast at home at Bangalore and lunch at the resort. So had a lazy start at 9.00 in morning for a drive of 110 km. A good road and lush green surrounding, after last night rain, we loved it. Our check-in at Raya was at a comfortable lunch time. We entered the resort with a nice welcome drink, after the long drive. The first thing which caught my eyes were the trees, old, very big trees and lush green all around. Enough space for parking our car and enough space all around. Our room was a nice comfortable cosy one, with all necessary amenities, including a small refrigerator and TV. It was a clean one well sanitised, including curtains, cover etc. The bathroom was clean with a geyser. There was a small balcony overlooking the garden The buffet table was waiting for us, with variety of dishes of both veg and non-veg. The food was varied and tasty. As we were hungry because of the non-stop long drive, we gorged ourselves with the tasty and sumptuous dishes. If you are conscious about your waist line, be careful. Tea and biscuit will approach you at 5.00 in the afternoon, snacks or starters at 7.30pm followed by dinner The building of the resort is an architectural beauty like lotus. Big old trees all around shedding comfortable shadows with thick creepers. Scattered sitting places all around in a vast big lawn with shrubs here and there. The best ornament of this resort in river Cauvery, like a necklace in the neck. The Evening sky brought a riots of colour, red, blue, yellow, violet in all possible shades, with passing dark clouds increasing the contrast, complementing the green all around. As we sat drinking in the beauty of the sky we found a chain of flying birds, returning home. We sat spell bound. If you are bored of the river or are a sports enthusiast there are enough of indoor and outdoor games to keep you and the kids busy. But the bon-fire in the evenings will ultimately drag you out to the river side. Water sports are part of the package. You can enjoy paddle boats or kayaking or motor boats for a group. But there is never a dull moment. The service of entire team starting from Aditya, the Manager, is highly appreciable. But to top it all the warm behaviour of the entire team is unparallel. We wish to go back again soon.
