What Sam says about_____?: Heritage Village Resort & Spa - Manesar - Your perfect weekend getaway from Delhi/NCR

We all get tired of routine. Getting up at 6, making breakfast, dropping the kids off to school, leaving for work at 8, driving through traffic for an hour plus, working for 10 hours at a stretch, reaching home at 8, making dinner, helping kids with their homework finishing household chores etc etc. Trust me, life can get really really boring and mundane with this kind of an everyday schedule.

About the Resort

Heritage Village Resort & Spa Manesar is a 4 star property, situated on NH 8 in Manesar industrial township of Gurgaon. The resort is a Select Group Property spread over what seems to be spread across endless acres of Land far from the maddening crowd of Delhi / NCR.

As you enter this beautiful Oasis in the middle of a dessert I call Manesar, one just falls in love with the lush green lawns, beautiful landscapes and surroundings. Whether you want to hold a business conference or enjoy a peaceful weekend getaway with Family the property is perfect for any reason and any occasion.

Even though the place is almost a decade old, yet they have still managed to maintain their standards in terms of quality in every aspect.

My oldest memory of this property dates back to 2006 when I visited with my parents for a long weekend and enjoyed the two nights to the fullest. Enjoyed the hospitality of the staff, the perfect meals and the comfort of the rooms and various facilities and amenities at the property. I enjoyed chilling at on the hammock's, reading my book by the pool, sipping the tea at the Tea lounge and of course the comfortable sound sleep in the world class guest rooms.

2015, also gave me an opportunity to be a guest at this world class property and enjoy a weekend full of fun, food and friends at the Heritage Village Resort & Spa. A visit after almost a decade, made me truly nostalgic, I was just out of college then and now visiting with my husband, I was very ecstatic and excited for a weekend full of fun.

Located at a 30 minute distance from Delhi's International airport, this property represents Luxury par excellence. With 154 rooms and suites this Rajasthani palace Themed property has been done up in the most traditional Rajasthani architectural style. With hand painted colourful and Vibrant murals on the walls and Artefacts all over, this place has beauty written all over it. Their rooms are divided into six categories, namely Heritage Rooms, Heritage Suites, Design Rooms, Design Suites, Heritage Grande Rooms and Presidential Suite. The rooms have all star facilities and amenities like mini bar and satellite television.

Like I mentioned before the select group pays attention to detail and their food happens to be one of their major USP's. One is thrilled and enchanted when the Chef's walk in to their restaurants and chat with the inhouse Guests asking how they liked the food. Jharokha, Barahandi and Surya Mahal are the restaurants at the resort that serve mouthwatering Indian and international cuisines ranging from Oriental, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. Put on your dancing shoes because you can chill out and relax at Bhangra Beat - the lounge bar. Tea lovers can sip special teas at their Tea Lounge they call The Deck. If you happen to be a wine lover stop by the wine cellar for tasting some of the finest wines.
Step in the resort's Spa - Aruna for de-stressing your self for that awesome massage and sauna. The spa has some world class masseur's and they offer some amazing spa treatments for detoxifying and de-stressing your self.

My Experience

We were there at Heritage Village Resort and Spa Manesar where the SelectED team had curated a one night two day event for us. An event that was tailor made for a selected few to experience Luxury at the resort first hand.

Arrival

When we arrived, we were given a warm traditional Indian welcome and the CEO himself escorted each of us to our rooms. The rooms were done up beautifully. I was floored and really touched by the fact that they had made me personalized cupcakes which even had my picture on them. Rooms were crisp with a lovely bottle of Red wine. The Room's were so comfortable and perfectly stacked with all amenities nothing short of a 5 star resort.
Post Lunch I took a tour of the property and was enchanted by the massiveness and the beauty of the resort. The place is green. Green as far as one can see. Well maintained lawns, Swimming pools, restaurants serving great food, comfortable rooms, the place is a complete package.

I walked through the property which is really huge and green as far away as one can see. There are beautiful village artefacts all across living up to the theme of the property. The lush Green Lawns have benches where one can read a book and chill or get busy with a number of activities planned by the resort for the residents.

High Tea

At 4.30pm we met for the high Tea. And I cannot begin to tell you, how mesmerized I was by the beautiful display of Cup cakes, loads of Bakery items, mini calzones, Pizza's, Empanada's, Pop's Pie's and Danish's. Dozens of beautifully baked cookies and famous Mumbaiya and Delhi Street food was also on display besides some Organix Food favourites.

Cocktail and Formal Sit Down Dinner

The Cocktails followed by a Formal Sit down dinner was nothing less than perfection of a ritual. There was a unique array of finger food both on display and was being served during the cocktails. The Bartender was sweet to take everyones order for a bespoke drink or a cocktail and each drink emerged perfect just as one would like. I loved the Trio Nacho's, Parma HamMelon pops, Squid Peri Peri and bi Fing Prawn. The Jalapeneo and cheese Stuffed Gucchi was a rockstar.

The Dining room was decorated in white. Loved the fact that there was a perfectly planned seating arrangement for each of us with personalised name Tent Cards and personalised Menu's for each of us. The wine pairing with the food was stunning. The menu was so detailed with options that one would want to have every single item, because their descriptions sounded so mesmerizing.

As the meal arrived course by course, I fell in love with every single dish and I must complement Chef Mathur for painstakingly planning such a beautiful menu. The meal started with the beautiful sight of Sarson Mousse with Biscotti and I chose the Tandoori Atlantic Salmon with Basil pesto. Both the dishes were such a beautiful sight. Salmon cooked to perfection and Sarson mousse what a gala beginning to a great meal. I also indulged in the Gucchi Khichdi and the pickled Salan. The mild subtle flavour of the Salan's gravy complemented the Khichdi really well.

The dish of the day for me was the Newzealand Lamb Chops with aam Papad and Cocum Jus. Lamb cooked to perfection really went well with the Khichdi.
The dessert Sampler arrived like a beautifully painted picture in front of us with lovely flowers and chocolate strips in the middle. What a sweet end to a Gala Meal.

I must complement the service staff for their coordination and perfect plating and timing of each course. They ensured our Wine glasses never went empty and goblets were always full. Full marks.

Sunday Brunch.

What a Gala end to this unique weekend with an innumerable array of beautifully displayed dishes in the arms of nature. The buffet setting was beautiful with an exhaustive Breakfast station with rolls and breads, Cold cuts and eggs to order. Very interestingly I also saw Bheja Fry, Gurda Masala and Liver Fry along with some perfectly cooked Tala Gosht. I felt as though I had died and I went straight to heaven. Each of these dishes or should I say unique meat items were different than the usual and certainly not the mundane Butter Chicken and Rogan josh items. What interested me even more was the Baobunwrap with some unique fillings like pork, shrimp and yummy lamb. The pasta station was way too tempting and I was instantly drawn to the Haleem and the Biryani's. Would you believe it, there even was Japanese and some north Indian comfort food on display.

The display of desserts was nothing less than spectacular. With wasabi Ice cream, and baileys Crem brulee I was converted. I absolutely adored the beautiful Mago Basil Entremet .
The weekend has to be one of my most memorable weekends ever and the SelectED team ensured they make this experience as unique and as special for us as possible. So people if you are hosting your parents anniversary, or that corporate event or even planning your wedding reception, you now know who to call.

In short a visit to Heritage village Manesar is a relaxingly divine and a rejuvenating experience.
