Heritage Village Resort & Spa, Manesar: Review
I needed a vacation and not a staycation this time and hence we decided to visit Rajasthan. However, we changed our decision considering the current crisis as it’s always better to avoid travel till all the citizens of our country get vaccinated.
Therefore, we started searching for a good property for our staycation. After some browsing, Heritage Village Resort & Spa, Manesar captivated our attention. The royal grandeur and Rajputana architecture, lush greenery, and majestic haveli-style palatial resort were enough to lure us.
This was the first time we had heard about this resort and hence we started reading the reviews online which were good and watched few videos on YouTube which helped us to make the final decision.
Why we selected this property for a staycation?
- Near to Delhi
- All protocols were followed
- Inspired by Rajasthani architecture
- Picturesque village
- Verdant greenery
- It’s a resort
- Luxurious but not too expensive
We visited this property in August 2021 for 2 nights/3 days. We always prefer spending two nights for a staycation because 1 night is less to have leisure time. Isn’t it? What do you think?

Angan Suites: Heritage Village Resort & Spa Manesar Room
The main purpose of booking the Angan suites was the bathtub because the other two rooms- superior and premium don’t have it.
You may feel am crazy, but this was an idle getaway looking for solitude and a bathtub is a must for me in such types of getaways. This was the only reason to book this room.
Angan suites at Heritage Village Resort & Spa, Manesar have a sitting area, a bedroom, and a bathroom. The room looks elegant and spacious with all the modern amenities.
There was ½ kg cake waiting for us to cut, dry fruits, snacks and chocolates to relish, and a bottle of red wine to devour. All these were complimentary which made us happy. But we don’t drink, so we returned the wine bottle.
Then the next surprise for us was the room décor. It was totally unexpected and now we were exhilarated.
The bathroom was fine and had Just Herbs bath essentials which had a very pleasant fragrance.
The room had a sprawling garden view which is stupefying. The architecture and the design of the room were stunning. I liked the red-pink colour theme of the washbasin. Also, the glittering designs where the tea was kept.
Angan suites have two LCD TVs- Living room & bedroom. So we relaxed and enjoyed our time. In the early morning and evening, we sat at Veranda (Angan) and enjoyed sipping our tea with the view of the garden, birds chirping, and tranquillity. These moments close to nature are priceless.
I would like to mention the alluring Rajasthani frames kept in the living room. It gave a rich look to the room and makes you feel as if you are in Rajasthan. I also liked other frames depicting the need of the room. For eg: How you can use wifi in your room and how to pee. I found this concept quite creative.
Room Amenities
- Complimentary Wi-Fi
- Just Herbs bath essentials
- Bathrobe and slippers
- Dental kit, shaving kit, disposable bag, shower cap, comb

Dining at Jharokha: Heritage Village Resort & Spa, Manesar
We had our all three meals at their exquisitely designed multi-cuisine restaurant- Jharokha. The restaurant of Heritage Village Resort & Spa, Manesar has Mughal style interiors and one wall has an artistic design which is a good place to sit for dining and click some amazing pictures.
They serve lavish buffets which were mouth-watering and elevated our dining experience. There was an array of immense varieties of food for guests from salads to starters to the main course to dessert.
Chef John greeted us wholeheartedly and kept asking us if we needed anything. There was another Chef for dinner and he did the same.
The food was sumptuous and palatable. I was happy to see my favourite food i.e Oriental in lunch & dinner. For breakfast, the first day there were Poori bhaji & South Indian dishes, and the next day, it was again my favourite food- Chole Bhatura & Pav Bhaji. It was too delectable esp. the bhaji. Don’t miss it!

We were overwhelmed by their hospitality. They made sure that we are happy and enjoying our time to the fullest.

This resort looks amazing in every aspect. We are looking for some staycation options nearby, we will surely consider this property for our stay. Thanks for the detailed review.
Your post brought back so many memories. We had a full family get together with family coming in from UK, UAE and all parts of India for a delighful three days. We didnt use any of their facilities since we had loads of catching up to do, but it was the most relaxing and fun-filled holiday we had. My sons were the only kiddos and they had loads of fun playing in the lawn.
This resort is so amazing. Had a wonderful family get together for three days in this resort way back in July, 2018. The resort is a calming oasis near NCR
Wow this looks so serene and beautiful. We had also been to one similar resort in sakleshpur and it was lovely to be near the mountains and greenery.
