I visited the Club Mahindra property in Kumbhalgarh near Udaipur in November, 2010 for 4 nights. I would rate this as one of the better properties from the Club Mahindra stable and it definitely deserves the Gold Crown Status given to it by Resorts Condominium International(RCI).
The resort is at the foot of Fort Kumbhalgarh about 6 kilometers from the mail entrance of the fort. Contrary to what I had heard before visiting the resort is that the resort is not located within the Fort boundaries itself. It is I think approximately 120 kilometers from Udaipur and is about a 2 hour drive.
For travelers like me who are car sick all the time I would also like to state that half the journey is very smooth on the National Highway and the remaining half is a topsy turvy road leading upto Kumbhalgarh. I got very car sick so request you to take the necessary tablets before undertaking this journey.
Once you reach the resort you experience utter bliss. The staff is very warm and friendly and the check in process is very smooth. We had a 1 Bed Room apartment which had a hall, kitchenette and a bed room.
The hall had a Flat Screen T.V, DVD Player and a Sofa Cum Bed with a sit out overlooking the hills where you could easily spend the lazy afternoon reading a book and sipping a cup of tea. Adjoining the hall is the dry kitchenette which has all the crockery, cutlery, toaster and microwave.
You can get yourself the necessary supplies from the resort store and make the basic meals such as sandwiches or any other stuff that does not require a cooking range.
