COMO Uma Paro

Whenever I am able to stay at Como Uma I do. Its the perfect first night stay into the Kingdom and the perfect place to stay the eve before departure. The spa is eceptional and I am always blessed they allow me to swim in the pool when I am able. The staff are always kind and caring and the food is excellent.

Blissfully Quiet and Serene Stay. Excellent Hospitality. Very accommodating for every request you make. Surprisingly close to Paro airport. The heated pool is a perfect place to bond with family or reconnect with yourself. Indian food needs some improvement.

This hotel is set in a spectacular setting and is also well located. The villa we stayed in was huge. In addition to spacious dining areas there was a large bathroom and also a massage room. We had spectacular views and we also easily spotted birds and animals (including jackals early in the morning). We had our own butler who looked after our every need and buggied us from our villa whenever we wanted and to wherever we were headed. She was extremely accommodating. The food was exceptionally good...fresh ingredients with excellent presentation.

Uma Paro is lovely. We did the 7 night COMO highlights of Bhutan package and found it very good. The absolute stand out was our guide Tshering Dorji who was the best guide we’ve ever had on our travels - the perfect balance of deep knowledge, humour, patience and meeting all of our needs. He was amazing and along with our excellent driver Namgey looked after us brilliantly. While we broadly had an itinerary we shaped in as we went and added and subtracted according to what we wanted to do - all without any issue. COMO does really great food. Healthy; much sourced from their own gardens, options that are Bhutanese, western and Indian. And delicious. Head Chef Tshering was amazing and was wonderful to meet too. If you’re into food, it’s worth coming to COMO just for this. Beyond that staff were great - all of them. From managers to wait staff in the restaurants. We were looked after and accommodated in many ways. We enjoyed the spa treatments at both COMO sites though Nema at COMO Punakha was one of the best masseuses we’ve ever had (she is amazing!). Everything ran smoothly, from booking with the reservations team in advance, sorting visas and our actual trip. The trip is pricey and while COMO may be less than other hotel chains it still charges premium prices - on a global level. And we felt that the hotel just wasn’t up to the standard we’d have expected. A bit dated, needing a touch of TLC. But when you’re paying well over $1000 a night for a room it should blow you away. And it didn’t. Still; we had a brilliant time. If you pick COMO enjoy the food. And ask for Tshering as your guide. He’s amazing!

Had a very comfortable stay in the Villa., which are very well planned and comfortable .The bathrooms are large and enough space for dressing etc. The staff was very attentive ,courteous and helpful. The breakfast and also the menu in the cafe was very well served. Would recommend it to anyone visiting Paro.

COMO Uma Paro is visually breathtaking and serene — but sadly, my stay was overshadowed by a deeply unsettling experience. $1,600 in cash disappeared from my room following the hotel’s night turndown service. I reported the incident immediately. The hotel responded with a polite but vague internal investigation, ultimately stating there was “no evidence of theft.” At no point was I asked for a formal statement, nor were external authorities involved. This isn’t about the money. It’s about the absence of real accountability — a fundamental failure for a property that positions itself as a leader in luxury hospitality. I write this not with anger, but with clarity: future guests should be aware that while COMO Uma Paro offers peace and beauty, that calm exterior may not extend to how they handle serious security concerns.

Spectacular property, beautiful pool, wonderful staff. The pictures don't do justice - our room was bright, modern, and the size of a large apartment complete with kitchen, living room, bedroom, and massive bedroom. The restaurant was wonderful and we returned to eat there again on our last night even though we weren't staying at the resort. Everyone went out of our way to make our stay perfect and we felt like royalty.

Como Uma Paro was a good choice. The hotel itself is set high above the Paro valley - with views of the very difficult approach into Paro International Airport ( don’t worry, there’s no noise pollution from the few daily incoming flights). The rooms are on the smaller side but very stylish and well appointed. The restaurant is the show stopper with wood stoves and an overall stunning design. Service was excellent. The menu in the restaurant changes every 2 days - we were unlucky that the menu was static for the 2 nights we were there. The food is good - but not excellent. The bar at the hotel looks like an afterthought and really needs “something” to make it more cosy and appealing but the pomegranate cosmo’s were very tasty! Do make time for an archery lesson - they’re included and we had so much fun learning the Bhutanese National sport with a longbow. This was a definite highlight! Would we stay again- pretty sure we would.

A nice hotel in the Paro valley before for the airport and the hike up to the Tigers Nest. Would recommend the rooms with the lovely valley views and small balconies. There is an extensive spa there that we didn’t use but did use their lovely swimming pool large. Good food and service in their restaurant usually. However our one issue was that despite them saying breakfast starts at 6.30, even when we pre-ordered our breakfast the night before for 6.30 it didn’t happen and the drinks and simple breakfast didn’t arrive until 6.50 when we were due to meet our guide at 7. Considering most people stay there for that Tigers Nest hike and the guides suggest starting early to help avoiding the heat it’s very disappointing that the hotel are not actually geared up for that.

We took whole package from Como covering Uma and Punakha. Our guide was Wangda and our driver was Tsering. Our guide and driver really made our stay memorable. I wouldn't want to spoil all their caring touches but rest assured we appreciated the thoughtful surprises like the full meal "picnic" lunch by the river and the fresh juices during our hikes. The food in Como and also during the tours were good. We looked forward to breakfast and dinner. The lady at the restaurant, Tema(?) at Como Uma was really so warm and kind. The rooms were cozy and very clean. The staff were sincerely very helpful.
