VITS Select Kudro Destinn India: Uncover the Luxurious Secret Getaway
Okay, buckle up, because we're diving headfirst into the opulent, the possibly slightly over-the-top, and the definitely-trying-to-be-luxurious world of VITS Select Kudro Destinn India. I'm talking about a place that says "getaway" and tries damn hard to deliver. And, because I'm writing this for the internet and for… well, me, we’re gonna get real about it. Let’s do this!

Initial Impressions and the Quest for the Perfect Instagram Shot…
First things first: the entrance. Ooh, the entrance! It screams arrival. Lots of polished surfaces, probably granite (or a really good imitation, let's be honest), and that "welcome" desk with smiling faces… or at least, the professional equivalent of smiling. The immediate impression is… polished. And, let's be honest, that's what you want, right? You're not coming here for rustic charm; you're coming here for the Insta-worthy experience. I mean, it’s a REQUIREMENT. The first thing that went through my head? "Okay, how do I get the perfect photo that says, 'I'm here and you're not?'" (Again, honest review, remember?)
Accessibility: A Mixed Bag, Maybe?
Okay, Accessibility. They say they have it. "Facilities for disabled guests." Yay! But… Let’s just say, my experience wasn’t perfect, and I'm not even in a wheelchair. The elevators are there (thank god!), which is a huge plus. But navigating the common areas? Well, I’d keep a close eye on the occasional step-up, the sometimes-narrow pathways. They try, bless their hearts. But "trying" and "seamless" are two different things. So, if you NEED perfect accessibility, double-check everything before you book. Don't take marketing copy as gospel. Call them. Ask specific questions. Don’t be shy. This is one area where I'd've liked to see a lot more detailed information upfront.
The Rooms: A Fortress of Comfort… or a Prison of Luxury (depending on your mood!).
My Room… a sanctuary! Okay, I'm exaggerating. But it was nice. And clean! Let's start there. (Cleanliness and safety: Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Doctor/nurse on call, Hand sanitizer, Hygiene certification, Individually-wrapped food options, Room sanitization opt-out available, Rooms sanitized between stays, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Staff trained in safety protocol, Sterilizing equipment.) Check, check, check! They're serious about the hygiene thing, particularly post-pandemic, and I appreciated that. You could practically smell the freshness – or maybe it was the slightly clinical scent of sanitiser. Either way, I felt safe.
The Details: (Available in all rooms: Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Carpeting, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Satellite/cable channels, Scale, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens.)
The bed? Heaven. Seriously. The kind of bed you sink into and instantly feel your problems melt away. (Except maybe the ones about the massive bill you’re gonna get at checkout). The blackout curtains were essential. Because after a few too many poolside cocktails, you need some serious darkness. I did find the mini-bar tempting, but the prices… ouch! Plus, the complimentary tea and coffee were a lifesaver (that's what I used to get my caffeine fix, before venturing into expensive mini-bar). The Wi-Fi worked. That’s all I need to say. And I had a window that opened, which I appreciated for a little fresh air - even though the AC was more effective…
Dining, Drinking, and Social Faux Pas
Okay, let's get into the juicy bits. The food. The drinks. The general vibe. (Dining, drinking, and snacking: A la carte in restaurant, Asian breakfast, Bar, Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast service, Buffet in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop, Desserts in restaurant, Happy hour, International cuisine in restaurant, Poolside bar, Restaurants, Room service [24-hour], Salad in restaurant, Snack bar, Soup in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant, Western breakfast.)
I tried the buffet breakfast. A massive spread of everything. From the expected (eggs, bacon, pastries) to the slightly-more-adventurous (an Asian noodle station, various Indian goodies). The quality? Pretty good! Some stuff was outstanding, some was… okay. But the sheer variety was impressive. Okay, I'm in heaven. I love breakfast buffets. You get to try a little bit of everything, right?
The poolside bar… Ah, the poolside bar. That’s where I spent a significant chunk of my time. (Poolside bar) The cocktails were… okay. A little pricey. But the view! The view! (Not sure if it was a Pool with a view because the pool area itself was a little… well, crammed. But the location, was great for sitting, relaxing and sipping cocktails with friends). And the atmosphere was exactly what I was hoping for. And it helped me wash down all that delicious food. The waitstaff were friendly, if a little… over-eager to clear your plates. Which, you know, can be a double-edged sword, depending on how many snacks you're planning. Still, I tipped well. Service with a smile, or at least a professional semblance of one, is always appreciated.
(A mini rant about a specific meal.) I tried the restaurant one night. (A la carte in restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant, Restaurants, Salad in restaurant, Soup in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant, Western cuisine in restaurant). Big mistake. I ordered the… (and here I'm being deliberately vague on what it was, because I don't wanna be too mean…). It was… a culinary experiment. Let’s just say, it didn't go as planned. The presentation was beautiful, the waiter was charming, but the actual food? Meh. It tasted like… disappointment. A real letdown. (Alternative meal arrangement) offered a second chance to get a meal. I passed this time, no further experiments.
Things To Do and Ways to Relax: Escaping Reality (Kind Of).
This is where the hotel shines. (Things to do, ways to relax: Body scrub, Body wrap, Fitness center, Foot bath, Gym/fitness, Massage, Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor].). Ah, the spa! The spa! I had a massage. It was… heavenly. Pure, unadulterated bliss. The masseuse? A magician. She kneaded away all my stress, all my worries, all… well, everything except the dent in my bank account. The sauna and the steam room were also fantastic. So, I spent a good hour just… relaxing. The gym/fitness was small, but well-equipped. I have to give it to them. The facilities were excellent.
The outdoor pool! (Swimming pool [outdoor], Pool with view). It's beautiful. And the water was the perfect temperature. I spent a lot of time there. Laying on a sunbed with a cocktail – that's what holiday dreams are made of, right? Okay, maybe it wasn’t a dream, but it was a good time, still.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things… and the Big Ones Too.

Unbelievable! SPOT ON 2726 Kopo 355 Indonesia - You WON'T Believe This!Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your sanitized, perfectly-planned travel brochure. This is ME, heading to VITS Select Kudro Destinn in India, and it's gonna be a rollercoaster. (And hopefully, I won't actually ride any rollercoasters, my stomach's already dreading the food!)
The "Oh God, What Have I Gotten Myself Into?" Pre-Trip Ramblings (aka, Packing Hell):
So, India. I'm not usually one for the "exotic" travel scene, but this trip? My friend, bless her adventurous soul, guilt-tripped me into it. "Think of the culture!" she'd shriek, while I was fantasizing about Netflix and oversized fuzzy socks on my couch. Now, here I am. Packing… or more accurately, staring at my suitcase in utter paralysis.
- The Outfit Dilemma: Do I pack for "respectful tourist"? Lots of loose, flowy things that will probably get covered in dust? Or "brave explorer"? Jeans, because at the very least, I know what jeans are. The answer, as always, is both. And a whole lot of anti-bacterial wipes. Just in case.
- The Stomach Meds Arsenal: Pepto Bismol, Imodium, anti-nausea tablets… my bathroom cabinet looks like a small pharmacy, and all for a trip where I'm probably going to be eating things I haven't even heard of. Pray for me.
- The "I Probably Won't Use This But I'm Packing It Anyway" List: A travel journal (knowing full well I'll write two entries, tops). A phrasebook (knowing full well I'll butcher every phrase). A tiny, foldable umbrella (because it’s bound to be monsoon season the second I land).
Day 1: Arrival in the Chaos (and the Deliciousness)
- 8:00 AM (ish): Finally, finally on the plane. Predictably, sat next to a guy who smells faintly of mothballs and keeps trying to make small talk. My headphones are my best friend.
- 2:00 PM (local time): Landing! The air hits you like a wet blanket of… well, everything. Smells, sounds, and a general sense of vibrant, overwhelming life assault you immediately. It's exciting, it's terrifying, and I'm slightly overwhelmed.
- 3:30 PM: Made it through immigration (thank god, I've been practicing my "I'm a terrified tourist who doesn't know what's going on" face). Now, finding my ride to the hotel. This is where the real adventure begins… or, you know, haggling with taxi drivers.
- 4:30 PM: Whew. Made it to VITS Select Kudro Destinn. It's clean, air-conditioned, and a welcome haven from the chaos outside. The lobby is beautiful, with these intricate carvings and the scent of what I can only describe as "expensive incense." Relief washes over me.
- 5:30 PM: Check In. Oh my god, the room is gorgeous, with a ridiculously comfortable bed. I immediately plop down and contemplate never leaving.
- 6:00 PM Curiosity got me. I'm hungry. Ordering room service and hoping I don't inadvertently order something that requires an entire week to digest.
- 7:00 PM: The food arrived! Chicken Malai Tikka. HOLY MOLY. My tastebuds are doing the cha-cha. This is it. I'm in love. The sauce is so creamy, the chicken is tender… I feel like I could eat this for the rest of my life. Suddenly, all the pre-trip anxiety is worth it. This is the moment I’ve been waiting for. I'm pretty sure I just died and went to food heaven.
Day 2: Exploring (And Praying My Stomach Survives)
- 9:00 AM: Breakfast buffet! I'm cautiously optimistic and try a little bit of everything. Paratha? Check. Dosa? Check. Some kind of spicy chutney that’s probably going to set my insides on fire later? Oh, definitely. (Worth it.)
- 10:00 AM: Decide to venture out, armed with my phrasebook and a healthy dose of paranoia. I found a local guide to get me started.
- 10:30 AM: I went to a local temple. It's incredible. The vibrant colours, the intricate carvings, the sheer intensity of the devotion… it's utterly captivating. I fumble with the camera, trying to capture the magic, but I know I'm failing. No picture can ever do this place justice. Suddenly I'm starting to think my friend was onto something. This is culture.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch. The guide takes me to a little street-side stall. I choose something… the guy selling the food is literally smiling, he's so happy. I'm a sucker for a happy vendor, and I end up getting some kind of fried snack that's probably illegal in my home country. It's amazing. Seriously, I'm finding myself saying "Wow" out loud far too often.
- 1:00 PM: The effects of the spice from lunch finally hit me. I need water and a very quiet, air-conditioned place.
- 1:30 PM: Back at the hotel. I'm pretty sure I've had enough cultural immersion for one day. Time for a nap.
Day 3: The "I'm Starting to Get the Hang of This" Day (Maybe)
- 9:00 AM: Breakfast (again). This time, I know the ropes. I get a stack of paratha with this fantastic green coriander chutney and have enough water at the ready.
- 10:30 AM: I wander around the hotel. The staff is so incredibly friendly and helpful. I felt more at ease, and I smile back.
- 1:00 PM: I ordered a massage at the hotel spa. The knots in my shoulders untangle. It was incredibly soothing.
- 4:00 PM: I finally tried something new: going to get my nails done. It seems so simple, but it's a completely different experience from what I'm used to. It's all a little chaotic, but the result is… magnificent. And cheap.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner at the hotel restaurant. The mood is so light and warm. I laugh more than I have in a while, and I don't feel self-conscious about it. I feel welcome.
- 7:00 PM: Back in my room, I sit on the balcony, listening to the city breathe. The sounds are constant, but they don't bother me anymore. Maybe, just maybe, I'm starting to get it.
Day 4: Departure and Reflections (aka, The Aftermath)
- 9:00 AM: Final breakfast buffet. I'm going to miss this. I now know the names of half the staff and feel a genuine pang of disappointment when I learn they're not going to be there for my next meal.
- 10:00 AM: Last-minute souvenir shopping. I've gone from being utterly resistant to now buying everything. Who even am I?
- 11:00 AM: Packing. Again. Less panicked this time. I kind of feel like a different person.
- 1:00 PM: Goodbye, VITS Select Kudro Destinn. I'll miss the amazing food, the genuinely nice staff, and the unexpected beauty of it all. I'm sad to leave, but the next adventure awaits.
- 2:00 PM: Back on that plane, and a familiar sense of exhaustion. But also, something else… a quiet, hopeful longing to come back.
Final Thoughts (and probably forgetting something important):
India. Rough around the edges, overwhelming, occasionally terrifying, and utterly, unexpectedly wonderful. I came expecting chaos and now having left with a new taste, a little bit of spice, and a whole lot of memories. And maybe, just maybe, I'm a tiny bit adventurous now. Who knew.
This doesn't cover everything I did, and there were probably a million things I'm forgetting. But there it is: my ridiculously honest, messy, emotional journey through VITS Select Kudro Destinn and beyond. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a whole suitcase of laundry to conquer. And a sudden craving for chicken tikka.
