Hotels mit Balkonen in Sauraha

After the long and soggy Christmas I endured I decided to book a lovely family holiday to Nepal. We woke up horribly early for our flight and hopped on the local bus to the airport. On arrival it was overall chilly and wet. I don't want to traumatise anyone so I'll give an overall airport summary. Children screaming , adults crying, dogs dying. We waited a long and painful two hours and went to hand in our wet and girthy luggage to be told it's too heavy.They are obviously lying to my face as my husband tong weighted the luggage pre leaving. I believe if anything it's from all the rain getting it soggy and very moist. After removing some kids toys from the suitcase it was the correct weight. We move towards boarding and hop right on the plane for a ride. DISASTER STRUCK! My youngest baby andrew was separated from us at boarding where we didn't find him until we had sat down in the seats. I am someone that suffers very horribly with crippling anxiety and losing my baby did NOT help.#dobetter. I don't want to yap on about the flight so I'll also summarise it for you . Soggy food, screaming kids and smelly feet. Upon arrival the private transport we had booked came to take us to the hotel. Hot , sweaty and sticky is all I can say. When we arrive at the lovely looking hotel we enter and give our bags and jackets to the staff. We go up to the counter and are told our room isn't ready yet as we arrived 4 hours before check in. I politely explained I have two young sons who are shattered and emotionally drained from the soggy smelly flight. She explained to me that if I wanted a room immediately it would have to be a DOWNGRADE. I explained to her that 4 beds is just not enough for the four of us as my youngest Andrew prefers to have the option of two because of his autism and he's just simply getting too old to share with mummy.One thing led to another and I am verbally abusing the woman at the counter. I was then asked to leave but peacefully protested in the corner with my lovely family until they allowed the upgrade. When we hike up the set of stairs to the room we are greeted by wrongly folded duvets, towels hidden in cupboards and the smell of cleaning products. As I make my way onto the balcony I dip my long leg into the hot tub where a hair politely floats up and wraps itself disrespectfully around my big toe. With a few phone calls all of this was sorted and we made our way down to the pool. We spot another young, kind , loving, caring , respectful family just like ours. We make our way over and William (oldest son) begins talking to a girl. Not impressed. She smiles at me in a rude way and asks how my days have been (I'm already having a terrible day) I reply well and she whisks him away to the bar. Bare in mind my son is far too young to be drinking as he has only just become allowed to around 6 years ago. Later on William comes running back to me only to tell me his little Alberta was only an Alberto and he only likes girls. I turn around

I stayed here for two nights. This resort hotel overlooks the River Rapti and it was possible to view wildlife, including on one occasion a one-horned rhino from my room. My room was beautiful and spotlessly clean. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was excellent. My tours within the Chitwan National Park were organised by the hotel and included walks in the immediate locality, a river journey, a walk in the jungle and a long journey in a four wheel drive viewing vehicle. I thoroughly enjoyed them. A memorable and most enjoyable stay.

Wir hatten das Rainbow Resort im Rahmen einer Safari für eine Nacht. ZUM GLÜCK nur für eine Nacht!!! Eigentlich wollte ich nur einen Stern geben, aber da das Essen ganz gut war, gibt es den zweiten Punkt für das Essen. Frühstück war auch ok. Der Außenbereich der Lodge ist auch ganz schön gestaltet und überhaupt sieht das Resort von außen ganz nett aus, aber das Zimmer hat keinen einzigen Punkt verdient. Alles darin ist uralt, vieles kaputt, nicht sehr sauber. Eine Renovierung der Zimmer ist dringend notwendig! Das Badezimmer war auch so eine Sache: Die Toilette wackelte, wenn man sich draufsetzte, man hatte Angst, dass sie jederzeit umkippte. Aus der Dusche kam nur ein Rinnsal, das Wasser war eher kalt als lauwarm, was bei der Hitze in Chitwan aber kein Problem war. Der Brauseschlauch funktionierte gar nicht, nur die feste Brause ganz oben. Das ganze Bad wirkte sehr gruselig und usselig...Die Klimaanlage funktionierte gut, war aber auch ziemlich siffig und lärmte vor sich hin, beim Schlafen also besser Ohropax nehmen. Die Moskitonetze hatten teilweise Löcher, nutzten also deshalb nichts mehr. Zum Glück gab es noch einen gut funktionierenden Deckenventilator, der sorgte besser dafür, dass die Mücken fernblieben. Die Türen der Bungalows wurden mit Vorhängeschlössern abgeschlossen. Eine knifflige Angelegenheit und total vorsintflutlich, naja... Zu den Angestellten kann man sagen, manche waren freundlich, manche eher nicht und verzogen keine Miene. Der Chef und der Safariguide waren besonders überüberüberfreundlich, aber eher bakschischfreundlich war so unser Eindruck. Die Safari war ganz ok, aber mit einem Elefanten hätte man bestimmt viel mehrTiere beobachten können. Dieser laute holprige Jeep hat fast alles in der Umgebung verscheucht. Erwähnenswert ist noch, dass man in dem Resort wohl nur bar bezahlen kann, obwohl wir vorher betr. Kreditkarte oder digital Zahlung per Handy mit Apple/Google Pay nachfragten und sie dies bejahten. Beim Auschecken wollten sie dann aber Barzahlung, ein Gerät für Digitalzahlung war nicht vorhanden und wir mussten mit einem Lodge Angestellten in die Stadt fahren und die Zahlung dort in irgendeinem Laden erledigen. Ich würde das Resort nicht weiterempfehlen bevor die Bungalows renoviert sind. Da gibt es sicher bessere Unterkünfte in Chitwan, die wahrscheinlich auch noch preiswerter sind.

We had the best stay at Aikawa, I can only recommend this hotel. It is new and modern and has to be the best hotel in Sauraha. From the first moment we arrived we were so well taken care of. We got an upgrade to a beautiful suite which has a fantastic layout and is just really well thought through. It has a huge bath tub as well as a rain shower and modern, high quality furniture. The pool on level 1 is so inviting and they will bring towels and even drinking water to the lounge chair. The garden has just been completed and offers a bar with a lounge area, table tennis, basketball or volleyball (can't remember which). There is also a spa which we didn't use though as we were too busy. The restaurant was really good and true to the hotels name I had sushi which was really fantastic. Tours can be booked as well. On a side note, our jeep tour of Chitwan national park was quite disappointing because we didn't see many animals and the tour guide (who was not the hotel's tour guide) was only speaking in Hindu to the Indian tourist but of course that wasn't the hotel's fault. The staff is probably the best thing about the hotel, they were so friendly and welcoming. Especially concierge Milan went out of his way to make sure we had a fantastic stay, he even went to the elephant breeding centre with us, which we truly enjoyed - much better than the jeep safari. Overall we cannot recommend this hotel highly enough, it was a memorable stay for us.

We stayed at this Resort in last week of March 2022. The property is clean, very good service, warm and friendly people. And efficiently manage the various safaris. Post Covid, they are still working with limited staff, but put in lot of effort. The rooms, pool, garden. Every thing is clean and well maintained. Wifi is pretty good Very pleasant stay with family. Located close to the market, and cultural centers.
