We stayed for a couple of days with family at the resort. The resort's location is one of the best spots in Lava. If the sky is clear, Kangchenjunga is clearly visible from the suites. The suite rooms are situated in a beautiful spot. There are three suite rooms, one of which has a private balcony. The balcony is in such a picturesque location that you can sit there and enjoy the stunning view of Kangchenjunga. If you are traveling with your family or extended family, these suites are the perfect place for relaxation. We arrived in Lava by car from Kolkata with some elderly members in our group and reached the destination around 7:00 PM. We had booked a guest house, but it didn’t work out for us. While searching for hotels, we arrived at Yankee Resort just for hotel hopping and somehow liked the place, as it was already late in the evening. At that time, we couldn’t appreciate the beauty of the Himalayas, but we ordered chicken ***** with firewood for a campfire and barbecue. Here, I would like to appreciate Mr. Dipak Datta and his wife, the caretakers of the resort, for their excellent hospitality. They always provided "Service with a Smile." Our team consisted of 10 people, ***** with some other guests at the resort. Despite being only two people managing everything, they served all the guests efficiently. I can only call them by the alias name "Rabi Ghosh of Golpo Holeo Shotti." (I hope all Bengalis will understand why I referred to them as Golpo Holeo Shotti). While there were many good things about the resort, there are also some areas for improvement that need attention from the management: Wi-Fi is not available in the suite rooms, which are the most expensive rooms in the resort. The suite rooms are located a bit away from the main building, at the back of the property. The pathway needs to be rebuilt so that elderly guests can walk comfortably. The geyser and sanitary systems need to be in proper working condition. I sincerely urge the property management to address these minor improvements and make this resort an even more attractive place to stay in Lava.
