Evolve Back Hampi

After being to the other 2 hotels of Orange county resorts, this was always on the cards, and it definitely turned out to be as expected, maybe a bit beyond our expectations. Right from check-in, we were taken care of pretty warmly. The Jal Mahal rooms were really impressive. The house keeping (I am sorry I forgot the name of those 4 guys) did a wonderful job for my wife's Birthday decor and otherwise too. Loved the property overall and really looking forward to another trip to Hampi. The food in the restaurant is one thing I feel they could improve, especially by adding more options. Shiva, in the restaurant was there to help us get what we needed.

My family and I stayed at Evolve Back, Hampi in August 2024. It's part of the Orange County properties. Probably one of the most exceptional stays we've ever had. We were a group of 5 adults and 2 Kids. Weather wise it is the best time to visit Hampi as it wasn't too hot. Architecture: The resort has been styled according to the Vijayanagra era which is a blend of Dravidian and Deccan Islamic Styles. It is one of the most beautiful looking resorts I've ever been to. From the moment you approach the resort you truly feel like you are in a palace which exudes luxury. The place has beautifully laid out airy corridors as well as a nice courtyard in the middle. Royal Welcome: As soon as we arrived, we were greeted by the reception desk with flowers, kumkum and refreshing drinks. A wonderful gesture that made us feel at home especially after a long drive from Bangalore (approx 7 hrs). Facilities: The resort is well equipped with 2 swimming pools. One for adults and the other for kids. The adult pool especially is very well designed like an infinity pool. The resort also has a library and an excellent gift shop with unique handicrafts. Dining: We ate one night at Bahmani restaurant which is a blend of Nawabi cuisine. Every item tasted exceptional. The overall experience was lovely. We also ate at the Tuluva restaurant which is multi-cuisine for both Breakfast and Dinner. The food served was just as good. Service: This is where Evolve Back, Hampi really trumps. Every staff whether it is a receptionist, a waiter or even housekeeping, they all treat you very kindly and respectfully. There isn't anything that is too much to ask for anyone at the resort. For them customer service is paramount. I would definitely recommend visiting Evolve Back, Hampi. A good friend of ours has already booked a trip based on my feedback.

Stunning property in the middle of the forest and close to the sights of Hampi. The architecture is brilliant and leaves you feeling that you have been transported back in time. The food is above par but the service of the entire staff is way above and needs a special mention. The Ayurvedic spa is good too and hope they include more staff to have more open slots. All in all it’s a great experience and we will definitely go back sooner or later.

An over rated resort with a lack of concern for the guests. We had 2 snakes on the porch of our suite and the resort couldn't really care much. Took their time to come and remove them. Obviously, no checks and in that period, no guidelines of safety or room change or anything was mentioned. It spoilt our vacation and traumatized our son. Not recommending this ever. For a USD 700-800 a night resort, the level of service in times of exceptional circumstances dropped tremendously.

One of the most awesome and excellent stay we ever had and especially the Chef Mr Prakash who cooked everyday something special for us and the hospitality he shown was upto the par. I have already planned by vacation once again to the same place

amazing property, beautiful lily ponds all over the resort and it comes to life at night with all buildings lighted up looking like a bejeweled princess! The staff is extremely attentive and courteous to all our needs. We stayed in the Jal Mahal, the 2600 sq ft cottage to our self with its private pool - that experience has been the best at any resort anywhere in the world, and i have traveled a lot.
