Kavya Himalayas — Hotel in Mandandeupur

Great potential but still a long way to go to be competing with some of the best.

There was a warm welcome by the staff on arrival, the resort and facilities were explained to us and we were advised our breakfast and dinner was included with our room plan. I enquired about the dinner and we were shown a menu with a range of choice, so we were comfortable with the options available for dinner. It was disappointing to hear that there is no pool, no sauna, no steam room and no whirlpool available, especially as it’s a spa resort.

We checked in and headed for a coffee which was very nice - we sat on the terrace of the coffee lounge enjoying the sunshine & albeit cloudy views, after we headed for lunch. We were slightly disheartened to learn the lunch menu was the same as the dinner menu (which we saw at check in), and we again enquired about the dinner. We were advised that the dinner menu is a 3 course menu and you will have a choice from the starters, mains and desserts, so with that we made our lunch choices keeping in mind what we all wanted for dinner. The chef came out to greet the table next to us however didn’t even glance our way, let alone stop to say hello.

Dinner was a collection of errors, upon finally seeing the [correct] dinner menu, we realised this was an entirely different menu to the two we had been shown earlier in the day. We had the option of 2 soups for starters, a selection of mains (with only 3 meat dishes, 2 of which we ate at lunch) & 2 desserts. We asked the staff if we could swap dishes with the a la carte at a surplus, and we were advised we couldn’t. Eventually after requesting to speak to the GM, they were able to swap some of the dishes and we were able to enjoy the meal (again kudos to the kitchen as all the food was great). Also we had to wait nearly an hour for our wine to be told that they didn’t have the wine we wanted (they didn’t have more than half of the wines on the wine list). They brought out a bottle of wine which wasn’t on the list and I asked about the price, to be told it was the same price as the wine we originally wanted. When the bill finally came, the waiter came over to tell us that the price of the wine was a lot higher than originally mentioned, again they agreed to charge us at the lower price.

Breakfast left a few question marks too as we were advised on check in that breakfast finishes at 10am, however on the morning we were told it finishes at 9:30am, so we rushed to breakfast, only to find some guests coming in after 10am and still being served breakfast. Again the food was really nice and the fruit was very fresh and delicious.

The resort has very little to do unless you partake in the yoga or meditation sessions (which I think are at a cost). There are some beautiful walks around and you can catch great views of the mountains, the sunset and sunrise (if there are no clouds).

The resort isn’t very accessibility friendly with the rooms, restaurants and coffee lounge being on different levels with only stair access.

The rooms are very large and comfortable with a big, comfy bed and a large bath tub (although one of our bathtubs was out of order and the other one took a long while to fill). They would also benefit from having electric blankets for the beds and maybe more heaters as it can get quite cold. They’d also benefit from having a hose for the bathtub so you can rinse around the tub after bathing, our tub was quite dirty the first time we ran the water and was slow to drain, so the bath experience wasn’t the best.

The majority of the staff are very friendly and willing to help, however there are a lot of staff that perhaps require more training in hospitality management. The GM was really attentive and eager to help.

All in all I feel it isn’t great value for money - it was an average experience, and I’m not too sure I’d be rushing back in a hurry unless they did a lot more to improve the...

I recently had the privilege of staying at Hotel Kavya, and it was truly an experience that transcended the ordinary. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm hospitality that felt both personal and profound, setting the tone for a stay that brought not only physical comfort but also mental clarity and spiritual rejuvenation.

The staff at Hotel Kavya go above and beyond to create a peaceful environment, catering to both your tangible needs and the intangible aspects of your well-being. Their attention to detail reflects a deep understanding of the human spirit, making you feel not just like a guest, but like a cherished part of their community.

One of the most unique and transformative aspects of my stay was the spiritual guidance offered by the in-house guru. Their sessions seamlessly blended mindfulness, meditation, and personalized insights, offering a holistic approach to spiritual and mental well-being. The guru’s wisdom and compassionate approach created an atmosphere of trust and deep reflection, allowing me to connect with myself on a more profound level.

Adding to this, their approach to horoscopes and astrological guidance was astonishingly accurate. I was intrigued by how precisely their analysis resonated with my current life situation. The staff’s expertise in astrology, led by the guru, felt less like a service and more like a profound spiritual awakening. It provided clarity on several personal and professional dilemmas, leaving me feeling grounded and optimistic.

The serene ambiance of Hotel Kavya complements their offerings perfectly. Every corner of the property exudes tranquility, making it an ideal retreat for those seeking mental peace and a deeper understanding of themselves.

I highly recommend Hotel Kavya to anyone looking for more than just a stay—it’s an experience of transformation, healing, and alignment. Whether you seek relaxation, guidance, or simply a moment of peace, this haven delivers it all with grace and authenticity. I can’t wait to...
