We stayed @ SLR for 4 days, with kids and elders. The retreat as the name says is an excellent place to relax. It has lot of amenities to choose. You can take a nice morning or evening walk around the property which has slopes and pathways. Or Sit and relax in the big terrace overlooking the mountains and enjoy the view If you love to Jog, have fun and fitness, then take the path from the hotel towards the winding roads down outside the main gate. Jogging up and down the winding roads for few kms will be a nice cardio exercise for those who love to do. All the way you can get serene views of paddy fields, pine trees, mountain view.
