Aman-I-Khas

We travel a lot around the world, and this was by far one of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at. What truly made it magical is the incredible service from our Bat***, Bijay, who came pick us up all the way to Delhi and took such good care of us. Also, our safari drivers, with a special shoutout to Deep, who went above and beyond to find the tigers so we could see them before leaving! I am thankful for evryone that made this trip one of my favorite ones yet.

I am writing to express my profound disappointment and dissatisfaction regarding the experience I encountered during my stay at A*** I-khas. I stayed at their establishment from March 2 to March 4, 2024, and I must say it was one of the most disappointing experiences of my life. One of the reasons for my stay was to explore the wildlife park and engage in horseback riding, as advertised on your website (see attached). However, upon arrival, I encountered several issues. Firstly, when I booked a one-hour horseback riding session, there was no helmet available in my size, posing a safety concern. During the ride, our group faced several hazardous situations. Young people on motorcycles approached the horses at high speed, causing my guide to fall. Additionally, we traversed areas littered with waste and narrow paths where tractors passed by at high speeds, endangering the safety of all participants (see attached). Upon my return to the hotel, I immediately expressed my concerns to the General ***ager. I explained to the GM that it was his responsibility to ensure that the proposed route was safe and that it aligned with the conditions advertised on the website. However, he refused to take responsibility for the situation, citing that the horses were subcontracted from another company. Despite my requests, no co****satory measures were offered for this disastrous experience. This experience is in stark contrast to what is promoted on their website. Furthermore, it is unacceptable that the establishment fails to take necessary measures to ensure the safety and well-being of its guests. It appears that A*** lacks sensitivity in ensuring guests have an extraordinary experience and taking responsibility for any shortcomings.

We had a wonderful stay at A***-i-Khas. It is a calm and peaceful oasis outside of Ranthambore National Park. The accommodations are large tent structures with all the conveniences. The chef is talented and the food was excellent. Virtually all the produce is grown on the site. Dinner menus changed every day, and the staff insisted if there was anything not on the menu we wanted, they would make it. Best of all were the attentive, friendly, and very helpful staff! We felt welcomed and treated as valued guests from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. A terrific experience.

After two and a half weeks of luxury hotels in Rajasthan (Oberoi, Taj, A***)…A***-i-Khas still topped them all in what I can only describe as one of the more special and unique hotel experiences on Earth. The property itself is stunning. Right on the edge of Ranthamore, it feels completely remote but is still convenient. The tents are absolutely spectacular and it’s almost unable to describe in words how incredible the ten private guest tents are. The ceilings are soaring, soaking tub & shower spectacular, massive lounger is incredible (we loved playing Scrabble here every night), bed is dream-level comfortable, and the design is utterly elegant. Meals, safaris, spa…everything was exceptional. However, to me what makes A***-i-Khas so utterly one-of-a-kind are the people. Our naturalist and driver were fantastic and literally moved heaven and Earth to let us finally spot a tiger on the last of our three game drives. The spa attendants were fantastic. With all that being said…it’s the Bat*** (a modern day butler) who really make this property so spectacular. And, KC, our Bat***, was without a doubt the most incredible and special and thoughtful person we have ever met while traveling. His kindness, warmth, sense of humor, and hospitality are simply beyond compare. It’s honestly taken a year for me to write this review because it’s really almost too hard to summarize how much of a connection we felt with him. He was our personal butler for our entire stay, beginning with him waking us up with fresh tea and fruit, to serving us all three meals, setting us up with thermos and blankets and picnics for our game drives, and even surprising us in the middle of the wilds on a horseback safari (if you are an equestrian—DO THIS) with hot chai tea and breakfast overlooking a seemingly endless expanse of wilderness. We loved getting to know him, learning about his life and family, and hearing his story. It is rare you meet someone with such a generous and warm spirit and, without a doubt, it was KC that made our trip so wonderful.

This was such a fun experience ! Glamping in a beautiful tented resort with only 10 tents each with their own attendant ( a “ Bat***” ), who takes care of everything for you and with you whilst you’re there. Large, elegant, temperature controlled accommodation with every creature comfort you’d need including a Toto smart toilet and lovely concrete tub. Thoughtful and classy furnishings beautifully arranged with king beds and a lounging and dining area and two veran***s. All 10 tents are identical and well spaced so as to ensure privacy. Never in anyone’s way, it feels like your own private camp and a la carte dining that was excellent, complimentary laundry service each day ( no limits ), and small little details such as water bottles/hot water bottles to keep warm on safari ***** with a box of snacks. Warm towels and a cup of tea each time we returned back to camp from our fruitless trips to find elusive tigers. A beautiful pool and spa. Our only complaint is the heated tents have hot dry air circulating in a completely closed tent with little fresh air and no humidification. This made sleeping impossible as our airways were so dry and parched and we both coughed and hacked through the nights and were ( unfortunately) happy to be out in the fresh air each morning. In the colder months this could be problematic for ***y, but hopefully the property will see fit to do better with the HVAC in the winter. Organic farm-gardens grow all the fresh produce and flowers, and the solar panels provide more than enough electricity to run the resort and keep it beautifully lighted. Wonderful staff. A great experience as long as you don’t expect to see a tiger as this is extremely unpredictable !

There is really very little you can say about this near perfect destination hotel. A great location for visiting the Ranthambore national park but also offers a level of quiet sophistication in the hustle and bustle of rural India. The resort is set within its own discreet area near the end of a dirt road which also houses the entrances to other resort hotels e.g the Relais and Chateaux Suján Sher Bagh resort. But don’t worry you made the right decision to stay at A***-i-Khas! You enter via a small discreet turning into a courtyard and and walk into the main area of the camp where food is served and the main path to the tents and the pool also begins. To note there is also a large vegetable garden - well worth a look and part of the sustainability offer and where some of the veg comes from. Then on to your room - amazing, huge tented rooms offering a separate sitting area, bedroom and bathroom shower area. There are even Japanese style Toto loos! There is an additional seating area between the room and outside and also seating outside the tent. Fully air-conditioned with everything you could want including USB ports and a call button for your allocated staff member - referred to as your bat***. Plenty of purified, bottled water, and a great laundry service. The resort itself is on some 18 acres. There are only a dozen or so rooms, but it has all the facilities you would expect from a larger resort. A great pool and outdoor dining and seating areas. As you would expect fabulous staff who know exactly what they are doing. Wonderful food. Great spa and therapists. Tiger spotting Good local excursions into the national park arranged by A*** with excellent drivers and guides. The park has a sophisticated timed entry system within the 500sq miles divided into 10 zones. A number of these zones are entered via the main gate. You are allocated a time and a zone - you need to enter at that time and leave that zone by the required time. The times are generally 4 hour slots - early morning; later morning; early afternoon and late afternoon. We were booked for early morning visits departing the hotel at 6:15am and I think it was worth taking the early morning trips. We stayed for a number of nights, so had three early morning visits booked each into a different zone so we covered three areas of the park. We were lucky enough to see tigers on two of our visits. We had the same guide and driver for each trip who knew what they were doing and where they were going in each zone. The A*** supplies binoculars and a good quality camera with telephoto lens to each guide and you can use both or let the guide take photos while you watch the real thing. The A*** then sends you a photo dump of everything taken. What more could you ask for.
