JW Marriott Bengaluru Prestige Golfshire Resort & Spa - Review & Experience (Luxury Weekend Gateway)

Hello TFCians,

Recently travelled to Nandi Hills Bangalore and Stayed in JW Marriott Bengaluru Prestige Golfshire Resort & Spa which is Marriott Bonvoy property located on the foot of Nandi Hills and near to Bangalore Airport also. You have a good view of Nandi Hills and Skandagiri Hills. The property is a well built resort with approximately 300 rooms and has an Golf course and Prestige Group villas adjacent to it. They even have the name sharing as JW Marriott Bengaluru Prestige Golfshire Resort & Spa.

Location:

Experience:

- This property was chosen just to enjoy the time over there and booking was under Marriott Bonvoy point redemption. This is my first visit to the property. I love to stay at Marriott Bonvoy properties as they offer good value for me as I am Gold Elite Member and as usual they offered me Complimentary Breakfast for me and my family. As the booking was made not well in advance and plan was sudden had to book it on premium. Usually costs around 22000 MR points to 30000 MR points for the base room. It costed for me around 28K MR Points. This property gives you the point value more than 1 Rupee on all days as per observation and will be a excellent redemption choice for Amex MR points.

But Please note there are some off days (High demand days) points might fall to 0.7 Rupee per MR point, which is also a decent deal with the property experience we get. But I suggest you to redeem at 1MR=1 Rupee.


Check- In:

- During Check in I have requested them for upgrade and they accepted the upgrade and offered me Garden Terrace which was a slight upgrade as the property was full as there was some politician from Andhra booked some high category rooms for their Internal Meetings. Even though room package didn't include Complimentary Breakfast, on Request and As I am Gold Elite member, they have considered and offered me complimentary breakfast which is not usual at older Marriott Properties these days. That was a good soft experience. BTW They offered me an upgrade to Presidential Villa for Rs. 250000 (or 200000 MR Points) and I don't have both with me so I denied 😋😋. That 200000 MR points can be utilized in much more well manner for more experiences.

- Overall Checkin process was smooth and the property was very calm and peaceful with stunning Nandi Hills, Skandagiri Hills and Golf Course View.

Spa Price List:

They might offer some discounts for Marriott Bonvoy Members. I haven't tried it, but visited the Spa Villa and I was amazed by the Ambience on offer. (**Spa Price List is Attached)
Interesting Info:

This property is mostly used by celebrities for their weddings and events, similar to JW Marriott Mussoorie & Sheraton Grand Mahabalipuram. I have heard from the hotel staff that high end businessmen & Celebrities from Andhra, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Telangana visit this property very often. The Property has Presidential Suites which had Elite Guest like MS Dhoni and some other prominent guests.

Final Verdict:

We have chosen this property just to have convenience of having some leisure time to explore the property. Overall a luxurious & pleasant experience to have a good view of Nandi Hills and Property. I always have WOW feeling walking out of Marriott Properties. They never disappoints me. I am also Gold Elite on Accor but they don't bring in value for me. But Marriott always amazes me.

My suggestion would be if you want to relax and experience the best of JW Marriott and good deal (1MR = Rs.1) this is a stellar option.

My Rating for the Property & Experience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐(5/5)

Fantastic write up ✍️ as always Sir..

This works every single time! My wife and I had two anniversaries last year (one actual and one fake), and we'll have two fake anniversaries this year.

Obviously Yes, as they don't ask for Marriage Certificate 😋
 
This property also has an option of points + cash and usually it offers good value per point.

I had booked executive room + club lounge access for some 24K points + 4K cash earlier this year and it was totally worth it. They have cocktail hours from 7PM to 9PM with unlimited alcohol and lot of options for food buffet in their lounge

You can also get complimentary club lounge access if you hold Platinum or higher status with Marriott. It's very useful, can save a lot of money on dinners.

Nicely done !

Good to see a separate dining experience lounge for elites.

Adding to your contribution:

The Aviary can get quite crowded during weekends and holidays...with long-ish waiting periods.

Veg starters (paneer) & Biryani at Aaleeshan (Awadhi Cuisine Restaurant) were quite 'flavorable' and yummy.
Saying this as someone who's not a Biryani fan. !

Their executive lounge is one of the best in India.
The variety, amount and 'premiumness' of food and alcohol is second to none.

You can also request for a visit to the Golfshire golfing range in a buggy.
(Not sure if I got the facility extended as a regular/elite).
If you've booked to play golf, it's one thing.
Else it's just a nice set up to take a stroll, by the Prestige guys.

A long flat escalator takes you to the convention hall from within the property, without requiring you to step onto the road.
Impressive place.

Dec 30, Dec 31 - 2023.

Did this at 15K points + 5K taxes per night.

Quite a steal for what they offer, even if I didn’t get upgraded for the first ever time. !

Not to forget the evening chaats, snacks, coconut water, beverages etc by the pool.

It can be good fun with family with their range of group activities, games etc.

I was hurry travelling to Vietnam, so couldn't explore Golfshire. With current experience will definitely visit this property again.

Impressive place.
I haven't tried Convention center part. Forgot to add it on OP. Thanks for adding it up. Yes it has a big convention center.

I had good experience, and this is my first JW property visit.
 
I remember you have Marriott Jim Corbett Stay in November right??
I had a booking but I canceled it as I'm going to Philippines instead. Thought I'd visit Palawan before it becomes another Bali!

This was my third award trip cancellation for the year lol. Barely got to use points this year.

For us coconut water wasn't there, but had some different Tea and Coffee and some good snacks, chats.

True...
 
I stayed here too last month. This property is actually owned by Prestige and is managed by Marriott.

Adding to what @BVC already mentioned.

There are two swimming pool here. Fancy one is not temperature controlled. Lap pool is temperature controlled. And temperature felt like 29-30 degrees Celsius than usual 27 or 26. I loved the lap pool.

Their evening activities with high tea and snacks are very engaging. My kid and spouse had lovely time there.

Kids will also enjoy family (kids play area). It isn't the best one I have been to. But is still fun for kids.

If you book package with dinner, it comes with complimentary drink (about Rs 600}. It isn't mentioned anywhere. But I was told by staff there in restaurant. So, do check if they miss to tell you.

Their fitness center is well equipped with weights and machines. They also have cold towels. Was good to visit it after a good run for some strength workout. They also have yoga room. These co exist in same building as spa.

They have entertainment area, in same building as spa. It has mini golf, bowling, table tennis, video games, small bowling lane. Anything that uses electricity to is charged nominally. We just played a bit of table tennis there.

Also, I was told that they don't rent out resort partially for marriages. It is always booked fully to not cause inconvenience to other guests. Not sure how true is that. I don't like to stay in resorts where marriage functions are going on. Have faced thrice till now.

They have Sunday brunch with activities. We decided to skip as we had plan to leave by 12.

We loved our two day stay there. And will love to go back again.
