(Let the Chaos Begin!)
First things first: Accessibility. This is HUGE for me. And, honestly? Mixed bag. The wheelchair accessibility situation? Mostly good! Ramps were readily available, and I saw an elevator that seemed to go everywhere. Hooray! Accessing the main areas like the lobby and the restaurants was pretty straightforward. BUT – and there’s always a "but," isn't there? – I did notice a slight incline leading to the outdoor pool area that might have been challenging for someone with limited mobility. It wasn't a severe ramp, but it was there. Also the Facilities for disabled guests should be properly investigated before booking.
Then it was the internet. Internet access – wireless, Internet [LAN], Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! They delivered on the Wi-Fi promise. Blazing fast, didn't drop once. Seriously, I was actually happy about the Wi-Fi. A little luxury in itself. No buffering! Bless.
(Rambling Alert! - My Brain Often Does This)
Okay, before I dive into the dining, I need to get something off my chest. I'm a sucker for a good pool with a view. The photos online promised a breathtaking panorama. And… it was decent. Don't get me wrong, it was a lovely pool, Swimming pool [outdoor], super clean and well-maintained. But the view… okay, it’s Thane. It wasn't the Maldives, you know? More accurately 'looking at houses'. But the Poolside bar was a lifesaver. Especially after a long, hot day. I had a ridiculously refreshing cocktail - The Thane Tornado! (I made that name up, but I swear it was delicious). The Happy hour was a bonus.
(Food, Glorious Food! - And My Attempts at Sophistication)
Alright, let's talk about the food. Dining, drinking, and snacking: chef's kiss. The Asian breakfast, wow. It was like a culinary adventure every morning. They had all the usual Breakfast [buffet], but also some really interesting, local specialties. I was actually trying to order some Salad in restaurant because I was trying to be healthy. The Buffet in restaurant variety was impressive. The restaurants themselves, offered an A la carte in restaurant options, so you can have anything you want! I also had a peek at the Vegetarian restaurant, and while I'm not vegetarian, the options looked delicious. I'm a sucker for Coffee/tea in restaurant, so I had a good time there. I even tried soup. Soup in restaurant – not my usual thing, but surprisingly good. Also, the Bottle of water in the room was a nice touch.
The Room service [24-hour] - I may have indulged in a midnight snack of fries. No regrets. And the Breakfast takeaway service, especially with my late start to the day.
(Spa Time - Or My Attempt at Zen)
Okay, so the Spa/sauna situation. I'm all about the “me time”, people. The Massage was divine. Seriously, like melting butter. I practically floated out of the room. They have a full spa menu, offering everything from Body scrub to Body wrap. I didn't indulge in everything, sigh. Next Time! The Sauna and Steamroom were also excellent. The Foot bath was a nice touch. The Pool with view (again, it was nice, okay?) was part of the spa experience, adding to the general feeling of… well, luxury.
(Cleanliness, Safety, and the Modern World)
This is important! Cleanliness and safety. I'm a bit of a germaphobe, so I'm always watching. The Staff trained in safety protocol. Big tick. They took things seriously. I saw the Daily disinfection in common areas, and even the Room sanitization opt-out available – which I appreciated. The Anti-viral cleaning products gave me peace of mind. I mean, we're all a bit paranoid these days, right? But I also appreciated the Cashless payment service and Safe dining setup. They also provided Hand sanitizer everywhere. Rooms sanitized between stays and Sterilizing equipment, more ticks.
(Things to Do… Besides Stuffing My Face)
Besides the obvious relaxing stuff – ways to relax – like the spa and the pool, there wasn’t too much to do within the hotel. It's more of a chill-out, be-pampered kind of place. I did manage a workout at the Fitness center. Not bad, not state-of-the-art, but it did the trick.
(Services and Conveniences - The Little Things)
The Concierge was super helpful with directions and recommendations. The Daily housekeeping was impeccable. The Laundry service was efficient. Facilities for disabled guests were good. And seriously, the included Free bottled water was a lifesaver. The Elevator was fast. Front desk [24-hour] and Luggage storage.
(The Room - My Temporary Palace)
The room itself? Pretty darn luxurious. The Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Blackout curtains, Bathtub – all the essentials. Yes, the Refrigerator, and Coffee/tea maker. I loved the Separate shower/bathtub. The Extra long bed was a dream. I'm a sucker for a good Sofa and Seating area. The Wi-Fi [free] worked perfectly, again. Non-smoking was excellent, and the Soundproof rooms meant NO noise. I got some serious shut-eye. Also, you know I'm a big fan of On-demand movies, which I used.
(For the Kids - My Hypothetical Children)
Not having any kids, my opinions aren't truly definitive, but the hotel has Kids meal and Babysitting service, and is advertised as Family/child friendly.
(Location and Getting Around)
Airport transfer, which was super convenient. Car park [free of charge] and an Car park [on-site]. The hotel is on the outskirts of the city, so you are going to need a car, or readily accessible Taxi.
(The Little Imperfections - Because Nobody's Perfect)
Okay, let's be brutally honest. There were a few things. The room service menu, the food was a bit limited after 10pm. Also, the "proposal spot" wasn't quite as picturesque as I'd imagined (I wasn't proposing, but I checked it out, of course!).
(Final Verdict - Unbelievable? Maybe. Worth It? Absolutely.)
Overall? Unbelievable Luxury Awaits? The name is definitely a little optimistic. But it’s still a fantastic hotel! It's a great place to unwind, be pampered, and stuff your face with delicious food. The staff were genuinely lovely, the amenities were top-notch, and the overall experience was wonderful. Would I go back? Absolutely. Just maybe with a slightly more toned-down expectation of "unbelievable" and a stronger thirst for a Thane Tornado or two.
Subotica's BEST Hidden Gem: Max 3 Accommodation!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's perfectly planned trip. We're heading to Thane, Mumbai, specifically the… checks notes …Treebo Premium Heritage Grand. Sounds fancy, right? Well, let's see if the reality lives up to the glossy brochure. My expectations are, let's say, cautiously optimistic. I'm the sort who packs five outfits for a weekend and forgets the toothbrush. So, expect chaos.
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Mango Mishap (with a Side of Regret)
Morning (like, late morning): Okay, let's be honest, travel day is a blur. Flight delayed thanks to some clueless air traffic controllers (seriously, guys, get it together!), and I finally arrive in Mumbai. The airport is a sensory overload - a symphony of honking, hawking, and the delicious scent of something I can't quite identify. I feel like I walked straight into a Bollywood movie, minus the catchy tunes.
Afternoon (the Mango Saga Begins): After a frantic scramble to find a decent taxi – negotiation skills severely tested (and slightly failing) – I arrive at the Treebo. The "Heritage Grand" part is…well, it's trying. It's clean-ish, I guess. I'm already fantasizing about my shower. The room is smaller than I imagined, but the AC is blasting, which is a win. Relief.
Late Afternoon/Early Evening (the Mango Mishap Pt. 1): I walk to the market. Let me tell you, the colors, the smells… breathtaking. Okay, maybe just a little bit. And the MANGOES! Mountains of them, ripe and juicy and calling my name. I buy, like, a dozen. I convince myself I'll eat them all. I gorge. This is pure, unadulterated mango bliss. Until… let's just say, Indian food and mangoes don’t always agree. Regret hits HARD. Sitting on the loo, cursing my lack of restraint. Should have paced myself. Should have. Note to self: ALWAYS pace yourself.
Evening (trying to recover): Order some bland khichdi from room service - my stomach's screaming in protest. Netflix and chill (literally, because the AC is still going strong). The Heritage Grand's Wi-Fi is spotty, naturally. Send a quick text to my best friend, "Help. Dying. Mangoes. Send prayers." Her response? "Serves you right, glutton." Thanks, BFF.
Day 2: Temples, Trains, and the Quest for the Perfect Chai
- Morning: Woke up feeling surprisingly better. I was expecting to be chained to the bathroom but it's been a blessing. Decent breakfast at the hotel. It’s what you'd expect: Dosa was good. Coffee, unfortunately, was not. I made a mental note to locate a REAL coffee shop.
- Late Morning/Early Afternoon (Temple Time): I force myself to get out and explore. Thane has some temples, so I try one. It's beautiful, vibrant, and the incense is intoxicating. I feel a bit out of place, a clumsy, camera-wielding tourist, but the people are incredibly welcoming. I clumsily try to participate in a ceremony - I think I did okay. It's really something to see.
- Afternoon (Going Loco on the Local): Brave (or foolish?) me, I decide to try the local train. It's a chaotic, exhilarating, and utterly overwhelming experience. Packed like sardines, the rhythmic clack of the train is hypnotic and the faces so expressive. I hang on for dear life and occasionally, I even manage to catch a glimpse of the scenery whizzing by. Someone bumps into me and I spill some (thankfully) empty water bottle. I laugh. It's the only way to cope. I vow to never, ever complain about public transport back home again.
- Mid-Afternoon (Chai Quest): I search for chai to ease my nerves after the train ride. A guy pulls me aside and tells me he knows the best chai. I get off the train, walk beside him. We walk to a tiny tea stall, crammed with people. He has a smile. The chai? Unbelievably good. The perfect blend of spice, sweetness, and warmth. This is the moment I've been waiting for! The entire experience is utterly perfect. I take a moment to savor it all. I'd come back here again.
- Evening: Exhausted but happy, I make it back to the Treebo. Dinner at a local restaurant that the hotel staff recommended (this time I am cautious with the food).
Day 3: The Departure (and the Lingering Scent of Curry)
- Morning (the "Heritage" Hangover): The last day. The hotel isn’t exactly a haven of quiet, constant construction noise or the sounds of someone's phone ringing and the construction on the building next door. I just wish my pillow was a little better.
- Mid-Morning (Retail Therapy): Last-minute souvenir shopping. I find a few quirky trinkets and some vibrant fabrics – because, you know, I need more things. I haggle a bit, successfully this time! Victory.
- Late Morning/Early Afternoon (The Last Mango…): I can't help myself. One last mango. Slowly. Cautiously. Manageable.
- Afternoon (Goodbye, Mumbai!): Taxi to the airport. The drive is a final, chaotic farewell to the city. Traffic. Honking. Color.
- At the airport: I'm slightly sad to leave, but also relieved. Mumbai is a rollercoaster, and I desperately need a quiet moment to reflect and decompress. The smells. The people. It was a trip like no other. I’ll definitely be back. Just need a few months to recover from the mangoes. And maybe a better selection of coffee.
- Flying Home: The plane takes off. I pull out a pen. I begin my journal. "Mumbai… was a lot." Then, scribbled in shaky letters, "Need more fiber."
What I Learned:
- Pace yourself with the mangoes.
- Embrace the chaos.
- The local train is an experience you won't forget, whether you want to or not.
- Find the good tea.
- And most importantly: Pack a toothbrush. But maybe not five outfits.
