I think this is the longest I have spent with my children and spouse. This place is without a doubt the best place to stay for quarentine because you are staying in separate cottages so it's really safe to go out of your room and enjoy the fresh air.
I stayed here with my wife and we enjoyed every bit of our stay. A beautiful property by the paro river me and my wife especially enjoyed our early morning and evening walks to and fro the river river.
This place will be my permanent quarantine choice from now. It didn't feel like a quarantine at all more like a long and peaceful vacation where I had time to reflect about life. I highly recommend this place to everyone searching for a peaceful retreat and a safe haven during these hard times. As the resorts name is "the happy place" it is certainly and inarguably that.
I was expecting a hotel under one building and a room with no place to move. But what I got was the complete opposite. I am very happy with the hotel because my room was in the open not confined to one building I felt so safe and didn't have to worry that the person next door was covid positive lol.
I actually stayed here for quarentine and I must say this is the first resort/hotel I actually felt like home. Open balconies with access to your one little botanical garden what more can you expect? I loved it and once this place opens up I'm definitely going to visit again!
This is a review of our stay in Kichu resort Paro - deluxe room, from 26 to 28 December 2019. Overall, will not return to Kichu resort to stay - sexist staff and very poor restaurant service being the two main reasons. The two main issues: 1. Sexism and gender bias by hotel staff On multiple occasions, from the hotel reception to the restaurant staff, there was a sexist behavior. They didn't address me and only addressed my make partner. In the restaurant during breakfast and dinner, the servers didn't ask me if I wanted anything but only my male partner, infact they also didn't ask before clearing my plate but started clearing as soon as the male partner said he is done with his food, clearly there was food on my plate and I was eating but it didn't matter to them. Throughout they only addressed the man and not me in the couple, always addressing sir and ignoring the 'madam'. The hotel reception staff was no different, even during checkout when I was making the payments, they still kept addressing 'sir' to my male partner and ignored me. This is unacceptable, discriminatory and very poor treatment. 2. Restaurant service and staff The restaurant staff was the worst. We ordered dinner on 27 night at 6:50 pm for room service. No dinner came till 8 pm. We called the restaurant and inquired what happened to our order. The restaurant staff behaved clueless and said could you repeat the order, not sure who took it, can you tell the name of the person who took the order, let us get back to you. No one called till 8:10 pm. We called the reception and asked them to figure this out. No one called back. At 8:20 pm we called the restaurant back and asked what happened, the restaurant staff said that we will send the food. At 8:30 pm the food arrives, without any plates or spoon/fork to eat. On checking we find that it is the wrong order and the quantity is abysmal (we had eaten two meals at the restaurant so we knew of the quantity). On asking we figure that the restaurant staff dumped some food from the buffet which was not our order and didn't bother to inform us. We offer to go and eat the buffet as we are very hungry by now. At the buffet counter we talk to the restaurant staff as to what went wrong with our order. No apologies from the restaurant staff, they put the blame on us that we ordered things that were not available and they called us to confirm it. This was shocking! No one told us that items we ordered are not available and no one called us. When we confronted the restaurant staff regarding this, the lady who was very rude to us just walked away. We asked to meet the property manager. The manager came, forced the youngest employee to apologise, which was a very poor thing to do. We requested to not do that and listen to what happened. The manager listened and said apologies for what happened. We ate and left. Later in the night, the youngest restaurant employee and one more person came to apologise at our room. Feel sad for the employees who were sent as they were scapegoated. The restaurant staff really needs to get their act together. Very unprofessional and rude. The only two good things about Kichu resort were bed warmers and the late evening staff who was very responsive and helpful. Overall, would give it a miss and never stay again, it was the most harrowing experience in our entire Bhutan trip which involved a home stay, heritage hotel stay among other accommodations and Kichu resort stay was definitely the worse.…
We stayed here in a cabin for a couple of nights. It was big, with a sitting area, bedroom area (single beds) and bathroom - where you had to turn the “Geiser ” on at least 30 minutes before you wanted a shower, then wiggle your nose the right way to get a good combination of hot/cold water ! All part of the travel experience The staff were extremely friendly and knocked themselves out to help you The food was plentiful and good
First of all - To all readers, Bhutan is a country less known and less travelled. I personally feel it is a blessing for present-day tourists. As Bhutan has preserved nature, had laid down rules for pollution control, traffic rules, and many others for preserving ecology, thus Bhutan is rightly a country of Happiness. for travellers expecting man-made luxuries, Bhutan is not the place - travel to explore nature, travel to learn about health, about spirituality and humanity. Travelling by road or flight both are feasible, but one should experience the landing and take off from Paro airport the only major airport of Bhutan. Only few senior pilots have flying licence to operate in this sector. Kichu resort, Paro is an abode for your mind and soul. Good food, nature, and great hospitality. Situated by the side of a river overflowing the resort boundaries. One can learn Archery and can engross half a day in the art and game of archery - they have experienced instructors for that. One can try local and national dress of Bhutan and photograph yourself. Kichu Resorts offers Spa and will guide you about the medicinal herbs available in Bhutan. Do book in advance for at least 5 to 7 days and explore in and around Paro. ADVANTAGES OF BHUTAN TOURISM 1, NATURE 2. TREKKING 3. RIVER RAFTING 4. PHOTOGRAPHY 5. MUSIC CREATION 6.

Only best point of this resort is location, which covers all its negatives. River is flowing near the resort , with amazing views of sunrise on mountain peaks. Large and beautiful gardens with load of fruits for morning and evening walks. In night , you can enjoy Bonn-fire . We stayed at cottage no. 58, having no WiFi , however staff tried its level best. Food served in the restaurant is not hot , may be their kitchen is far off . Food lacks in variety as well as taste. Below average food quality.
I wouldn’t recommend staying here. We had a room on the top floor of the main building and it was basic to say the least. The beds were extremely hard...was is a mattress or a block of wood on the bed? The electrics in the room were very dodgy - nothing seemed to fit into the plugs, you had to really shove them in. The bathroom is random - slabs of slate type rock on the walls and incredibly slippery tiles on the shower floor - be careful! The service I am afraid was slow and communication between teams were poor. The dinner buffet was basic and very western influenced, which was a shame as traditional food is what we really wanted to taste! I’m afraid I would not stay here again
