Hotel berhampiran Municipal Shopping Centre, Bhavnagar

The staff at Hotel Nilambag Palace epitomized exceptional service and hospitality. From the moment I stepped foot into the palace, I was greeted with a warm welcome and treated like royalty throughout my stay. The staff members were attentive, professional, and always went the extra mile to ensure that every aspect of my experience was flawless.

Abbiamo cenato e pernottato una notte: posto da favola....ambiente pacifico, cibo ottimo cucinato solo per noi. E' gestito dalla famiglia che è propietaria della Villa. Lo consiglio assolutamente. Le camere sono arredate in stile coloniale: pulito e fresco.

A smooth 3 hour drive from Ahmedabad on the newly relaid Ahmedabad Bhavnagar national highway is the turn-off into the single lane road leading to the Velabadar blackbuck national park. As we approached the national park office we came across two large herds of blackbucks within a hundred metres from the road. These beautiful slender deers roaming freely in the Savannah-like grassland were a treat for the eyes. A short distance ahead we approached the Blackbuck Safari Lodge. As we drove inside we were pleasantly surprised to see the ambience in the safari lodge blending seamlessly with the surrounding grassland. There was a small water body with many birds including cormorants. The checkin experience was pleasant and the staff were friendly and helpful. Individual cottages were thoughtfully designed and furnished. Our youngest 5-year old member was excited to see many birds and butterflies in the resort premises. There were provisions for outdoor games as well as traditional khatlas spread under a leafy Jamun tree to relax. As the dusk fell the resort was lit up with strategically placed lights that helped in safe movement but never overpowered the rustic ambience of the resort. At the nightfall buffet dinner was served in the dining hall tastefully decorated with photographs of the local wildlife. The menu spread was thoughtfully adequate and quality was better than what we expected and we commended the chef for the same. We didn't go for the open Gipsy safari conducted by the national park authorities since we already had seen the blackbucks in the wild and were more interested in spending quality time with the family. The only neglected point in the resort was the swimming pool which seemed to be not in use. Interestingly, despite the resort being fully occupied nobody seemed interested in swimming or even complaining about the dirty pool. The breakfast buffet was also a pleasant experience with ample stocks of all the items in the menu. We left after relaxing a while post breakfast. Each and every member of our family expressed desire to be back at the Blackbuck Safari Lodge again. The staff bade us goodbye while inviting us to visit the Asiatic Lion Safari Lodge at Gir forest. From our Velabadar blackbuck safari lodge experience we surely will be at the Gir national park ”very soon” . Watch out for our review of the Asiatic Lion Safari Lodge.
