Rema Resort

Just ok. The hotel is about a 15-minute walk from the town. It is a nice setting, the rooms are big with views. The staff are very kind and eager to please. They seem understaffed however, and the staff often seem overwhelmed particularly at meals. The room service food is very very good and reasonably priced. I did not care for the buffet food which caters mostly to their Indian clientele. I had a massage which was good and as expected. Do not expect a super excellent experience. It was fine and the masseuse was very diligent and asked if I was ok, if the pressure was ok, etc. I did not pick the hotel - my tour operator did. I might explore other options in the area but I would not mind staying here if I returned. The setting and views are lovely as is all of Bhutan.

Well appointed rooms with good heating as it can be chilly in April at a height of 2300 meters. Excellent bar with a knowledgeable bar tender. A buffet meal appears to be standard in most of the hotels patronised by groups in Bhutan but the choice was varied and appetising. A walk into Paro is highly recommended. Despite having the only airport in the country it has the size and ambiance of Scottish country town. Our tour was structured round a day at the Paro Spring festival. An authentic and joyous occasion with brightly coloured costumes and intricate dances. Although there were other tourists present this was a spectacle aimed primarily for locals. If you are able to attend in the future I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Visited the resort with my family in november 2024. location : the resort is located centrally and is short drive from the city and market. checkin / check out : the process was smooth and hassle free. the staff was polite and courteous. Rooms : The rooms were spacious and comfortable. the washrooms were large. the rooms had all the basic amenities with balcony. the rooms are spread out into different buildings in the compound and some of the rooms have a very good view of the river. Restaurant : the breakfast and dinner was buffet. the food was indian vegetarian food with 1 or 2 non veg dishes available. the food was good and among the best indian food that we have had outside india. Souvenir shop : there is a small souvenir shop and the items are nice and reasonably priced. comparable to the prices in the local market. staff : the staff is soft spoken and courteous. some of the staff is able to speak hindi as well.

Love that the hotel room and bathroom were well heated when we arrived. Even the bed had a heated blanket - such a luxury indeed! Place is clean and services by the staff is prompt. The only funny part is that they have no adapters when we requested for one - they say there is none and the one they have is broken!?

We were deeply disappointed by the behavior of the resort manager towards Indian guests. While the hotel staff were friendly and the rooms clean and spacious, the bathroom had a persistent foul odor. The most troubling aspect was the restaurant service. The manager seemed solely focused on greeting European and American guests, ignoring us entirely. On our first day, when I attempted to communicate with the staff, they overlooked my questions in favor of serving foreign guests. We were informed that the buffet menu primarily catered to foreigners, with a separate Indian menu featuring only basic dishes like dal, chapati, rice, and aloo matar. While we appreciated the option, the discriminatory treatment was unacceptable. When my husband requested a different dish for the next day, we were met with disappointment. The buffet remained the same, and we were told there was no alternative for Indian guests. It felt unjust to be offered the same limited options day after day while paying the same rate as everyone else. Furthermore, the manager insisted that we would need to pay extra for paneer, stating we couldn’t enjoy both the buffet and the Indian dishes. This behavior was not just disappointing but outright disrespectful. We felt treated like freeloaders, which is unacceptable. We urge fellow Indian travelers to consider other options. While the rooms and views are appealing, the discriminatory treatment we experienced at the restaurant overshadowed any positives. This is not a place for self-respecting Indian guests.

Indians stay away!!! The resort where Indians are treated like freeloaders. The hotel staff are generally polite and respectful towards everyone except for the manager. The rooms are clean & spacious, the views from room are great, but the food is mediocre. The resort mainly has items in their menu which caters to European customers. Indians will not find much to choose from. They are however generous enough to have a seperate menu for Indians which they serve at the table. The menu includes rice/chapati, dal and alu matar. So it seems for others there are 7-8 different varieties of menu items, but for Indians there are just 3 fixed items everyday. Who pays so much and expects food like this. We had been to hotels/resorts in Thimpu and Punakha and there everyone was treated the same and their menu catered to all audiences. On top of that, on the 1st day, the manager/owner told us that we can have buffet items along with Indian items, but the 2nd day he said if we have buffet items, then we can't have the Indian food. However the waitresses kept saying we can have both Indian food and buffet items. It seemed as if we Indians will get food depending on the whims and fancies of the manager/owner, who was clearly busy pleasing the customers from other continents and had no time for us Indians. We felt as if we are unwanted here even when we paid the same resort fees as anyone else. I would never come back to this resort and recommend all self respecting Indians to avoid it.
