I have found the staff very warm and attentive. Service is top notch. They would go out all the ways to make sure that we were comfortable e.g bringing us blankets and hot water bottles when I said I was feeling cold during dinner. The resort is quite big with restaurants, yoga, swimming pool, meditation ground and activities rooms spread over the premises. Staff was always around to make sure that we were not lost and would escort us to the relevant place if needed. I would also like to say thank you to my spa therapist. I had a foot massage on the last day after checking out. I didn’t feel quite well during the massage, probably because I just had lunch and it was not a good idea to lie face down on the massage bed. My therapist was very caring.

Dwarika's Resort

Dwarika's resort is a beautiful resort with stunning views. The staff are friendly and are willing to do whatever it takes to make your stay a memorable one Couple of things to note. The food in main restaurant could and should have been better. The hotel is secluded and you are relying on eating at the hotel and we were disappointed It's also worth mentioning that the hotel is secluded and is absolutely fantadtic if you are looking for total relaxation but it is not practical if you are looking to do a lot of excursions to Kathmandu Overall still a great hotel

Very nice hotel on the hill slope.

We had a late flight and arrived at the hotel at midnight. Hotel staffs were waiting at the door step and checked wtih us if we need to have dinner. We were not that hungry and did not want to wake up the kitchen staff. We opted to have some fruits and waited to have early breakfast in the morning. We appreciated their kind effort. The hotel was very nice and comfort in a very scenary set. The breakfast, lunch, and dinner were excellent and the prices were quite reasonable compared to other 5-star hotels. Most of the activities there, such as Yoga, Meditation, Pottery, Painting etc. were inclusive of the room price. We went to many activities and these were great opportunites for family bonding. How often can you go to a Yoga class with your grown-up son? The staff were all friendly. This was truly a memorable experience for my family.

Worth Every Penny

This is absolutely my favorite hotel ever. It is expensive, but you get what you pay for, and it is worth every penny. If you are on a budget, it is worth the splurge to spend at least one day here. The campus is enormous and situated on a lush green hillside—a great retreat after a few days in Kathmandu. The resort is peaceful, beautiful and relaxing. Staff is gracious and accommodating, and rooms are meticulously appointed for your comfort—in a natural, luxurious kind of way. There is also a range of activities and amenities from typical spa treatment to crystal meditation rooms and other treatments that represent the true spiritual nature of Nepal. Whatever you’re looking for, you’ll find it here.
