Hillock Vista Homestay by Aarika Resorts

The property feels more like a homestay that has been converted into a resort rather than a full-fledged resort. The food is good, but it has a homestyle feel rather than a typical resort dining experience. The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable, which was one of the highlights of the stay. It is located about 24 km from Sakleshpur town, so traveling back and forth can be a bit inconvenient if you plan to explore the city. There is a small swimming pool, but it didn't seem very clean or well-maintained. The biggest positives are the beautiful views and the peaceful atmosphere, especially during the rainy season—it makes for a very refreshing and relaxing stay. The Wi-Fi connection is also reliable. Just don't visit with high expectations of a luxury resort. The property has limited amenities and only a small staff, so the service and facilities are fairly basic. Overall, it was a worthwhile experience thanks to the scenic location and the clean, spacious rooms, though the amenities could definitely be improved.
