LG Resort Man: India's Hidden Paradise (Unbelievable!)
LG Resort Man: India's Hidden Paradise (Unbelievable!) - A Review That's Actually Honest (And a Little Obsessive)
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to lay down the gospel on LG Resort Man. And trust me, I’ve got opinions. I mean, who doesn't when you're shelling out hard-earned cash for a "paradise"? I dove headfirst into researching this place, absorbing every crumb of info like a sponge, and now, armed with Wi-Fi-fueled insight, I’m here to tell you everything.
Accessibility: Can You Get In? Because I Need To Know
Okay, let's rip off the band-aid first, and honestly, this is slightly vague. They mention "Facilities for disabled guests" and "Elevator," which is a good start, y'know? But a full accessibility breakdown? Nope. Makes you wonder, doesn't it? It needs a real deep dive to assess this. Hopefully, they've got ramps, accessible rooms (and not just a slightly wider door!), and all that good stuff. I'll be grilling them about this if I ever get a chance to get down there.
On-Site Grub & Booze: Restaurants and Lounges - Survival of the Fittest (and Hungriest)
The food situation? Potentially epic. "Restaurants," plural! We're talking a decent range with "Asian cuisine in restaurant," "International cuisine," and even a "Vegetarian restaurant." Boom! Score one for inclusivity right there. I'm already picturing myself sampling everything – maybe a little too much. They have a "Poolside bar" too. I can only imagine the sunset views there, drink in hand. And a "Coffee shop." My inner caffeine fiend is already doing a happy dance.
The options are immense: A la carte, buffets, Asian breakfasts, Western breakfasts. If you're a hungry goblin like me, it sounds like you'll be in heaven. They have a "Happy hour," too. Need I say more? I’m also intrigued by the "Snack bar" and "Desserts in restaurant." My sweet tooth is tingling.
Wheelchair Accessible? (Back to the Important Question)
Again, I gotta bring this up. I need concrete answers about accessibility. Yes, they say the hotel has facilities… but are the restaurants wheelchair friendly? Can anyone with limited mobility actually enjoy the poolside bar? This is a BIG factor for me, and something that I would want to know immediately.
Internet – More Bits Than You Can Shake a Stick At! (And Free Wi-Fi!)
Oh. My. God. "Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!" And no sneaky speed limits or data caps? Thank the internet gods! I need my streaming and my social media. Also, "Internet [LAN]" - this is great for some of my techy friends. They mention "Internet services," which could mean anything, but the general vibe is that they've got you covered, internet-wise.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax - Spa Day, Anyone?
This is where LG Resort Man really starts to sing. They've got a list of features that had me scrambling for my credit card.
- The Spa: Oh, sweet, sweet spa. We’re talking the works: “Body scrub”, “Body wrap”, “Massage”, “Sauna”, “Spa/sauna”, “Steamroom.” It's a veritable temple to relaxation. I am already dreaming of being kneaded into a state of zen.
- The Pool: A "Pool with view" and an "Swimming pool [outdoor]"? Yes, please! Lounging by a pool, sipping something cold, and soaking up the sun. What's not to love?
- Fitness Center: For when the guilt of all the delicious food hits. "Gym/fitness" is listed too.
Cleanliness and Safety: Are We Safe in the Paradise?
Okay, this is crucial, especially in current times. They're touting the usual suspects: "Anti-viral cleaning products," "Daily disinfection in common areas," "Hand sanitizer," "Professional-grade sanitizing services," etc. That's all good, but I need specifics. What types of cleaning products? How often are these areas getting disinfected? (I'm a skeptic, remember?) The "Rooms sanitized between stays" is essential.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking - Feed Me, Seymour!
We already touched on the glorious array of restaurants, but it goes deeper. "Breakfast in room" and "Breakfast takeaway service"? Genius! "Bottle of water" and "Coffee/tea in restaurant" are nice little touches too. They even have "Alternative meal arrangement," which is fantastic if you have dietary needs or preferences. Also, "Room service [24-hour]… I'm feeling a midnight snack attack coming on.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter
The "Air conditioning in public area," "Concierge," "Daily housekeeping," "Doorman," "Dry cleaning," "Elevator," and "Ironing service" are all essential for a smooth stay. "Cash withdrawal" and "Currency exchange" are super handy. I'm especially pleased to see "Invoice provided." "Luggage storage," "Safety deposit boxes," and "Laundry service" are also on point for my list.
For the Kids: Family-Friendly or Family-Frustrating?
"Babysitting service," "Family/child friendly," and "Kids meal" are all good signs. I don't need this myself, but it's important for many.
Access, Security and the General Vibe: Is it Safe to Unwind?
"CCTV in common areas" and "CCTV outside property" are comforting. "Front desk [24-hour]," "Safety/security feature," "Security [24-hour]," and "Smoke alarms" create a sense of safety. I'm digging the "Non-smoking rooms" as well. They have "Couple's room". This is just a nice thing to have.
Getting Around: How Do You Get There and Get Around?
"Airport transfer," "Car park [free of charge]," "Car park [on-site]," "Taxi service," and "Valet parking" make getting there and getting around stress-free.
Available in All Rooms: The Comforts of Home (and Then Some)
This section is pretty loaded with necessities and niceties: Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, In-room safe box, Refrigerator, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Visual alarm, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], and Window that opens. That's a LOT.
My Personal Obsession: The Room Decorations
They offer "Room decorations." Here’s where it gets weird. Is it a romantic getaway? A birthday bash? The possibilities are endless!
My Overall Impression (and the Imperfections)
Look, LG Resort Man sounds amazing. The potential for relaxation, culinary delights, and a generally good time is high. I'm particularly excited by the spa and the range of dining options. However, the lack of clear information on accessibility is a major red flag. They need to be more forthcoming about this. Also, they mention the "Shrine"… curious. It'd be great to find more cultural aspects, if they are available. I guess I just want to be wowed. And I think it might be!

Final Score:
Auntie Ely's Taiping Homestay: Your Malaysian Home Away From Home!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to embark on a chaotic, glorious, possibly sunburn-inducing adventure to the LG Resort in Manali, India. This isn't your perfectly curated Instagram feed; this is real life. Prepare for the whiplash, the questionable food choices, and the inevitable existential crisis that comes with being surrounded by mountains.
LG Resort Manali: A Train Wreck, a Triumph, and Everything In Between (A Totally Honest Itinerary)
Day 1: Arrival in Manali – Holy Smoke, Are We There Yet?
- 6:00 AM – 8:00 AM: The Great Delhi Departure (and the existential dread that comes with it)
- Ugh. The airport. Always a battlefield. Let's just say I managed to spill coffee on my passport (don't judge, it was early!), and the friendly-but-slightly-too-intense airport security lady gave me the side-eye. But hey, we made it! Finally on that bumpy flight to Kullu. The air here is something else. It's brisk and smells of pine. (Side note: I’m pretty sure I saw a yeti on the plane. Just kidding….maybe.)
- Emotional Reaction: Pure, unadulterated relief. The city noise is fading, a mountain horizon is emerging. Thank God, a break
- 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM: The Kullu to Manali Odyssey in a Taxi (aka the Rollercoaster of DOOM!)
- Alright, so picture this: a slightly beat-up taxi crammed with my luggage, me, and a driver who seems to think he's auditioning for a Bollywood stunt movie. The roads? Let's just say "potholes" doesn't even begin to cover it. Think more like, "mini-canyons of doom." The scenery, though? Absolutely breathtaking. Towering peaks, the frothing Beas River, the valleys - it's everything.
- Quirky Observation: The driver's playlist was a bizarre mix of Bollywood power ballads and what I think was heavy metal. A good mix, in all honesty!
- 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Check-in at LG Resort – The Moment of Truth!
- Finally, the promised land! The resort looks even better than the pictures. Lush greenery, views that make you want to cry (in a good way), and a slightly-too-friendly staff member who kept calling me "Madam" (I’m 32, people!). The room is spacious, with a balcony overlooking the valley. I dumped my bags and let out a sigh of utter bliss.
- Imperfection: The wifi is as spotty as my dating history (and my ex is still sending me memes, which I find both frustrating and secretly hilarious).
- 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Lunch at the Resort Restaurant – The Initial Reconnaissance
- The food? Okay. Not amazing, but definitely edible. Tried the local thali. The butter chicken was decent, but the dal? A little… bland. But hey, I’m here for the experience, not a Michelin-star meal.
- Rambling Thought: I swear, a well-made chai can fix anything. Maybe the bland dal was a good thing after all.
- 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Initial Exploration and the Great Photo Shoot
- Wandered around the resort property. Taking photos everywhere. Seriously, everything is Instagrammable. Then, met a group of Indian tourists who want to take a photo. I am an Indian tourist, it turns out.
- Opinionated Language: Oh my gosh, I hated it. All the selfies…ugh!
- 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Tea and Balcony Time – Contemplating Life (and the Mountains)
- The view, the fresh air… it's pretty magical. I'm already feeling more relaxed than I have in months. The mountains have that effect on you, don't they?
- Emotional Reaction: Pure, unadulterated bliss. This is what I came here for.
- 6.00 PM - 7:00 PM: Dinner, a Chat with the Staff
- Dinner was better than lunch. The chef came, and introduced himself. This is where I found out about all of the local spots, and started the list.
- 7:00 PM - Bed
- A quick shower and bed. Exhausted!
Day 2: The Solang Valley Adventure - The Tourist Trap, the Thrills, and a Near-Death Experience (Maybe)
- 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM: Breakfast - The Fuel for Adventure
- Breakfast at the resort. Pancakes, fruit, and more chai. Fueling up for a day of adventure!
- 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM: Hiring that taxi
- The staff helped us get a taxi to the Solang Valley, and gave us a discount and a tip to haggle. Brilliant!
- 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM: Solang Valley - A Day of Heights and Thrills
- This is where things got REAL. We started with the cable car ride up to the top of the Valley. The views from up there? Unreal. Like, you're literally floating among the clouds. Then, we decided to try paragliding.
- The Paragliding Incident: A Deep Dive
- So, picture this: I'm strapped into a harness, about a thousand feet up, with a guy whose English is… well, let's just say we were communicating through a mix of gestures and slightly panicked eye contact. The launch was a blur of shouting and flapping. For a couple of minutes, I was terrified! The wind was whipping, the world was spinning and I thought I was in trouble. But then… magic. We were soaring. It was an experience I'll never, ever forget.
- Messier Structure: I can honestly say that I've never felt more alive! The peace and the freedom was incredible. The adrenaline rush was insane. I would do it again in a heartbeat!
- 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Solang Valley Eatery: Lunch Amongst the Chaos
- The food was… well, let's just say I needed some serious antacids for the rest of the day. But, I think the food was some street vendor near the valley, who was shouting the menu items.
- 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Back to the Resort - Back to the Real World (and a Nap)
- Back at LG Resort, and all I wanted was a nap. And a strong drink!
- 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM: The Resort Spa - The Ultimate Treat
- Okay, time for the spa. I booked a traditional massage. It was pure heaven. The therapist kneaded all the tension from my body.
- Emotional Reaction: From near-death experience to complete bliss. An incredible experience.
- 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Relaxation and Planning for tomorrow
- I am just chilling on a balcony. Planning tomorrow's activities. Trying the local food that was recommended by the chef.
- 7:00 PM - Bed
- Another early night.
Day 3: Exploring Manali - Temples, Shopping, and the Quest for the Perfect Momos
- 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM: Breakfast, and planning the day's adventures
- Another hearty breakfast. Planning the day's adventures.
- 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Hidimba Devi Temple and Old Manali
- First off, the Hidimba Devi Temple. It's a weird place, surrounded by the jungle. And the temple itself is pretty cool. From there, we walked to Old Manali. An interesting trip, a lot of tourists, a lot of great shops.
- 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Lunch - Momo Madness
- Found the most delicious momos. I'm still dreaming about them.
- 1:00 AM - 4:00 PM: Shopping and Souvenir Shopping
- I would do anything for one of those sweaters. Found some awesome crafts.
- 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Rest and tea
- Back to the hotel for tea.
- 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Dinner, and plan for the next day
- Dinner was delicious. Then.
- 7:00 PM - Bed
- Bed early.
Day 4: Departure - The Last Glance and The Reluctant Farewell
- **8:00
LG Resort Man: India's Hidden Paradise (Unbelievable!) - Your Questions Answered (Maybe)
So, what *is* this "LG Resort Man" place, anyway? Is it actually real? Because the website looked a bit...optimistic.
Alright, alright, you've got my attention. What's the *good* stuff? What actually *works* at this place?
And the "not so good"? Dig deep, man. You're selling me on a hidden paradise, not a bed of roses, right?
Tell me about the "Unbelievable!" part. What's the most... memorable thing about this place?
Now, picture this: chaos. Total, beautiful, hilarious chaos. People screaming, staff running around with flashlights (no electricity, remember?). The sound was deafening, like the end of the world. Turns out a particularly violent storm had decided to take down the resort's biggest selling point. The next morning, there was just a pile of logs and a lot of very apologetic staff. The apology was beautiful, the tree… not so much. This, folks, is what I mean by "unbelievable." It was both a disaster and a strangely beautiful metaphor for the whole experience.
I laugh now. But for a short time I was extremely terrified.
Are there any activities? I can't just sit around and pray for the Wi-Fi to work, can I?
Would you go back? Honestly.
Practical tips, please! What should I pack if I dare to go to LG Resort Man?
- Mosquito repellent (industrial strength).
- Portable power bank (or three).
- A flashlight (or ten).
- A good book (or a thousand).
- Comfortable shoes for walking.
- A sense of adventure (and a willingness to embrace the bizarre).
- Wet wipes (you’ll thank me later).
- Basic medicines.
- Candles.
- A camera to document the chaos.
- A good attitude.
