  1. Holiday resorts in India are in plethora. It depends on your taste and flavor as to which kind of resort or hotel you prefer. However, if Jaypee creations are considered, they simply outclass every other in the same league. The kind of luxury and opulence Jaypee offers is equal to the comforts that a 5-Star hotel offers. So, make a wise choice with Jaypee resorts and hotels.
