      Vikas's 3 days trip to Varkala

      The resort in munnar was not at all good. The rooms and location was good but when it comes to good they serve you the left over food and don't prepare it fresh. I have a very bad experience from aranayka resort. I have recorded the videos also of their resturant incharge accepting his mistake that
      they cheated when I ordered the meals. Serene Horizon was awesome
