We stayed at Jüsta Grand View Resort & Spa, Manali, expecting a premium experience due to the brand reputation. While the stay had its high points, it didn’t quite justify the price tag. What We Liked: 1. Stunning Views: Clear view of the mountains with no obstructions. 2. Lush Surroundings: Adjacent to an apple orchard, offering more greenery than most nearby properties. 3. Friendly Staff: Always polite and smiling. 4. Delicious Food: Every meal we ordered was tasty and well-prepared. Tip: If you're getting this property / room at ₹6,000–₹7,000 per night, it’s a good deal. Areas That Need Improvement: 1. Room Size: Compact rooms considering the price; better options available in the same area. 2. Limited Buffet: Minimal variety — mostly a repeat of à la carte items. 3. Cleanliness Issues: Under-bed area was dusty; noticed while picking up kids' toys. 4. Narrow Access Road: Can get frustrating when vehicles cross from both directions. 5. Tiny Gym: Very basic — more of a formality than a facility. Special Occasions: A Missed Opportunity We celebrated our daughter’s birthday here. While we paid for a decoration package, a small complimentary touch (like a cake or cookies) would’ve made the experience more memorable. At this price point, some personalization is expected — something we’ve experienced at brands like Taj or ITC. Further, the cake was a big disappointment. We could have brought a better one from outside. Final Word: Not a bad property, but not “grand” either. If you're getting a discounted rate, the views and food make it worthwhile. But if you're paying ₹10K+ per night, you may want to reconsider or lower your expectations.
