ABOUT V RESORT• Offbeat Destinations – all our properties are located in offbeat and less explored areas keeping in
line with the fact that customers wish to explore new places and travel to known destinations such as Nainital, Mussoorie, Shimla etc is dwindling.
• • b) Limited Service – Our properties provide facilities that a customer wishes to pay for – location,
view, tasty food, and information. We have cut down the frills that a customer does not need at such places – multi-cuisine restaurants, swimming pools, welcome baskets etc. thus passing on lower costs to the customer in terms of value vacations.
• • c) Information – We provide holistic, authentic and true information to customers about our
resorts, destination, activities etc. to allow them to make well researched choices on their vacations. (eg: All photographs on our portal are authentic, untampered and undoctored. In fact, we have an offer of Rs. 10,000 cash back to anyone who may find the actual surroundings unlike the ones provided on our portal.
