Vikrant's 7 days trip to Coonoor

I recently booked a holiday package through Travel Triangle, and here's my experience: *Hotel:* We stayed at the Khan Gufa Hotel in Bandipur, which was generally good, but there were a few issues. The hotel provided false information about the safari, which was disappointing. Also hotel rooms are not suitable to stay. *Cab & Driver:* The cab driver sent by Lee Vacations was a 20-year-old boy who was good-natured but lacked driving skills and knowledge about the locations. Moreover, the cab agency seemed greedy, which was a bit of a concern. *Service of Travel Agent:* Despite the issues, the travel agent was very nice and decent. He was always available to address our queries and managed our trip effectively, even when he had to rely on another agent due to his limited knowledge of the locations. Overall, while there were some hiccups, the agent's service and efforts to resolve issues were commendable. With a bit more attention to detail and better coordination with suppliers, Travel Triangle could provide an even better experience for its clients. *Recommendation:* While I would recommend Travel Triangle for its agent's service, I would suggest they work on improving their supplier partnerships and quality control to ensure a smoother experience for clients.

Nagarajan's 4 days trip to Coonoor

After booking travel agent not contacted. Cab driver didn’t confirm when he is coming. So one whole day was gone by travel. Hotel is good but not hygienic. Not suitable for child with care of hygienic. Black thunder trip was good.

Jay's 3 days trip to Coonoor

Hotel Breakfast was not good. No proper Management and seems lack of Man power. Network Issue in the room. Coonoor was not covered and Iternary should have been shared to Driver. It seems there was no proper communication provided to the Driver regarding hotel and Iternary. Overall it was okay.

Peenaz's 6 days trip to Coonoor

Hotels - Raisana was near and clean. Roopa hotel was well managed but it wasn't well managed but the food at their restaurant had a lot of soda in their fitters. We informed this there too. For the third stay we expected a deluxe stay and because of some miscommunication we ended in a lodge type place though an alternative was given to us but our mood was spoilt since we were expecting better for the price. We were kept in some lodging residency type of thing. Cab and driver - the drivers skills were good and he was experiencing but the car was old and broken. Firstly he outright refused to take us to all the places mentioned in the itinerary. The car's front seat was broken, back seat was coming out. The car needs maintenance. Service - I felt outsmarted by the travel agent twice and the mistake is mine that I trusted blindly. These two bad instances made me have a bad opinion. For the price I paid my stays except for the first one were pathetic
