The Fern Samali Resort Dapoli, Series by Marriott

Set in nature, large rooms, very helpful Staff

excellent location, lots of free open space with trees etc, rooms are very spacious too, good food, very helpful and prompt staff, one of the best fern locations we stayed in

I would like to divide my review in multiple areas: The Property Itself: There is no doubt that this is the best resort property in Dapoli in a radius of about 15 Kms. However, the property being 10 years old is showing signs of ageing and needs more upkeep. Due to COVID guidelines, the swimming pool was not available, so we missed-out on that attraction. Room: We had booked the Magnolia Cottage for 3 nights. The room was comfortable and well-equipped with all necessary amenities including a dedicated internet router in the room. There were frequent power-cuts during our stay, thankfully the resort had power-backup so we did not feel the pinch. The only thing on the flip side was that the room size in-actual felt smaller than is depicted in the photos on the website. But that is an individual perception, so I would not crib a lot about it. Staff & Service: The staff across all departments, was brilliant in their attitude and was prompt with whatever practical requests that we made. The staff had arranged a cultural program on Saturday night, where artists (mostly children) from local villages performed and gave a glimpse of their form of art. It was nicely conducted and we enjoyed all the performances. Breakfast: The spread of the breakfast menu was fabulous and included local & Indian delicacies along with continental dishes. We stayed for 3 days and were very happy with the variety offered in those 3 days. Summing up, we recommend this resort to all.

Nice hotel, supporting staff, nice food, staff from dining hall are very friendly.
