Sparsa Thiruvannamalai

We happened to find this resort just after Tiruvannamalai town - on the highway - while on the way to Chidambaram. We were quite hungry and decided to try this place out for a quick lunch. Turned out to be a good decision. The dining place was well inside the resort, which has a lot of landscaping done well. The place had both ' a la carte' and a buffet - only vegetarian. We took the buffet which had a good spread and was quite tasteful. Definitely worth visiting when you are around there. The resort looks good for stay too with cottage like rooms.

Stayed 2 nights at Sparsa Thiruvanamalai and it was a truly memorable experience. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the property felt just like home. Surrounded by nature, it has a beautiful eco-friendly vibe. There are plenty of activities for guests, such as pottery and bullock cart rides, which made the stay even more special. The food was good, rooms were spacious and clean, and overall it was a unique experience. Definitely recommend this place when visiting Thiruvanamalai.

I recently visited this beautiful resort, and while I loved the lush greenery and stunning surroundings, my experience was slightly let down by the staff's attitude. The activities offered were great initiatives, but the staff handling these activities seemed unfriendly and not very enthusiastic. Some activities felt more like a tick-box exercise rather than a genuine experience. However, the food was exceptional, with a wide variety of delicious options. Overall, the resort has tremendous potential, but a focus on staff training and hospitality could elevate the experience to match its beautiful setting.

This was our 3rd visit to this place. The moment you enter the premises, you feel the positive energy of this holy place slowly engulfing you. The staff is very helpful, courteous. The space inside offers adequate privacy as well as ample opportunities to keep yourself engaged. The food is the only reason I didn't give 5 stars. They have improved vs last time, but more options could make it a little better. Delicious food, but options are limited. Breakfast, however, was lavish.

I stayed at your property from October 6th to October 8th, but I had to check out early on October 7th due to hygiene issues in the room. Upon check-in, I noticed that the bed sheets had hair on them, indicating they had not been changed before my arrival. This raised serious concerns about cleanliness and hygiene standards. Additionally, the strong smell of cleaning liquid in the room was overwhelming and unpleasant. For a resort that promotes itself as eco-friendly, I would also expect the use of eco-conscious cleaning products that are safe and gentle. When I checked out early, the front desk staff did not even ask why I was leaving before my scheduled departure, which was quite unprofessional. Given that I had prepaid for my stay but could not continue due to hygiene issues beyond my control, I believe it is fair to request a refund for one night’s stay. While guests are charged upfront, hotels also have a responsibility to maintain basic cleanliness and comfort standards — and to respond appropriately when those standards are not met.

We enjoyed the hotel gardens, lovely pool and room which despite being basic, was clean and comfortable. Bathroom needs updating though. ||Enjoyed the food in the vegetarian restaurant especially the thali we had for lunch one day which was excellent. ||Would have liked if there was some entertainment in evenings as there was nothing to do after dinner. No bar as hotel doesn't serve alcohol. There is a games room which we visited and played table tennis.||On the whole it was fine for 1 night stay

Stayed with family during the weekend and it turned out to be one of most peaceful stay with nature surrounding, fun activities for kids and specially food (Only Veg) which was really really good..!! Just one suggestion may be staffs can be even more friendly with all guest. I can see few staffs were busy handling selected guests which they can improve upon. Will surely visit them again..!!

They are termed eco friendly but lack basic amenities like basic packaged drinking water. Being located in the middle of nowhere with no shops nearby where do guests go and buy water?! When I expressed displeasure over the condition of the cows kept (no care or compassion towards the malnourished cows they use to promote and entertain guests), the elderly man who appeared to be a manager did not even care to talk. He disappeared and showed absolutely no interest in feedback. He even chided a staff in front of me which was unacceptable. I would never recommend this place to anyone. They lack basic care and compassion.
