Kadambavanam resort is a wonderful retreat that offers an authentic Tamil experience amidst beautiful greenery. The cultural immersion was truly special, and the food was absolutely delightful, showcasing traditional Tamil dishes. The rooms were not only clean and comfortable but also provided a unique blend of traditional and modern decor. However, while the amenities are impressive, some areas like the swimming pool are still a work in progress. Overall, the experience was memorable, balancing culture and comfort beautifully.
