We stayed at Evolve Back Hampi for 2 nights and had a great time during our stay. We were impressed with the allocation of a personal contact point - Ms.Nagaratna, who helped us with things from room service, reservation of table, and any other requirements at the property. She was available via WhatsApp and it eased our communication and coordination during the stay. The Jal Mahal room is phenomenal with an incredible amount of space and our own private pool. Each room is equipped with a water filter tap which is a very thoughtful act, completely eliminating plastic bottles and being able to have access to unlimited water at any time of the day. This is far better than having glass bottles in the room but having to call housekeeping to keep replacing them. We were able to fill the bottles by ourselves at our convenience. There is a French Press Coffee maker provided in the room ***** with their own brand of coffee powder and detailed instructions on how to use it. I definitely enjoyed making a freshly brewed cup of coffee in the morning, and seeing birds and squirrels playing outside the room, by the poolside. The shop is charming with interesting souvenirs and we bought their coffee powder to take back home with us. They had a few gifting options too. There is a lovely library/reading area too where we spent some reading our books and the staff there provided us with tea/coffee. The Pushkarni dinner was superb! There was Traditional Music and live Dance Performance by the poolside, with lovely decor. Overall, the ambience was very well curated for the evening. The food was excellent with a large range of dishes available ***** with a live kebab and roti counter too. The staff are very well versed with the food available and guided us to try the local rotis - made with Ragi, Akki, etc and we were glad that they did - those rotis were excellent! Teja from the restaurant staff was helpful. Late at night, we were able to see stars in the sky and spot some constellations, thanks to the unpolluted skies. Highly recommend the property! Its a great trip from Hyderabad and took us around 8 hours to reach via road.
