Ahilya Fort in Maheshwar offers a beautiful view of the Narmada river and has a charming heritage ambiance, but it falls short in terms of cleanliness and style. While the food is quite good, the service could improve, particularly regarding guest attentiveness. The rooms are spacious but in need of updates, and there were cleanliness issues that need addressing. Overall, the experience promises potential but lacks the execution expected from a luxury resort.

Our stay at this resort was truly an unforgettable experience! Nestled along the Narmada River, the location offered stunning views and a peaceful ambiance. The food was exceptional, with a mix of cuisines that delighted our taste buds. The staff provided exceptional service, making us feel welcomed and well cared for. However, we faced a couple of minor inconveniences during our stay, such as the absence of a high chair for our child and some noise disruptions from nearby areas. Overall, this place is ideal for families seeking relaxation and comfort.
