RAAS Chhatrasagar, Nimaj, District Pali

La plénitude face au lac La cuisine délicieuse La chambre incroyable

One night for the family tent with breakfast costed Rs. 53,159 which I thought is quite expensive. But it was worth it because this place is truly special. The key essence of this place is the Chhatrasagar reservoir and the resort situated on the ancient dam creating the reservoir. The ambience is peaceful and you will experience the sound of nature and no sounds made by humans! We did 2 activities. The sundown boat ride with tea served on the boat (!) costed Rs. 1,800 per person. It was an electric boat (my first experience). A naturalist and a boat driver accompanied us. This was so fascinating as we were given binoculars and we witnessed different bird species. The other activity which was free was star gazing in the night with a telescope and astronomy guide. Fascinating again. The air conditioned tents were almost flawless and everything provided was top notch quality. The dining area and the open courtyard, the top of hill courtyard and the newly minted spa makes this resort a momentous experience. You leave with very fond memories. The shower experience is heavenly. The WiFi is an open one (why doesn’t the world of hotels learn this!). You are greeted and sent off by hotel staff and offered optional alcoholic drink as a welcome drink (another first). Special mention that my request for washing the car was taken care of easily.

The food at dinner was average. We ordered 2 cocktails and 1 mocktail, plus one prawn aglio olio and 1 mutton biryani which costed a whopping Rs. 7,100! Firstly my recommendation would be not to price the food so high when you are already charging a stiff room rent. Finally the taste was just not there for the price charged. Few other recommendations - the lights over the wash basin in the tent should be brighter. I had difficulty shaving in the evening. The jute slippers provided are quite slippery when used at the stone floored back balcony. Finally why don’t they provide sliding doors for the bath section and the WC section? Else now when one person is using any part of the bathroom, rest of the areas become inaccessible. And in a family tent with at least 4 people and with storage + minibar + locker being provided in the bathroom area, it is sheer unnecessary waiting time for others.

Peaceful location. Beautiful tented rooms. A retreat from craziness of outside world. Staff very attentive but not invasive.
