Resorts in India – Spend Your Family Vacations in India

India is the gem of the Orient in every sense of the term and this country fascinates me every time my wanderlust carries me to its arms. Especially mesmerizing about India are its temples and the Himalayas and it is to them I have turned to on each of my visit to this magical land.

However, it was only on my last visit that I dropped in at some of the beach resorts in India and also managed to make a night’s stay at a heritage resort in Rajasthan before moving down south. The beach destinations in India as I found out are no less fascinating than its temples and forts. The beaches in Goa and Kerala are particularly exotic. The quality of hotels at these places, are also exceptionally high and the premium resorts in India as I was pleasantly surprised to find out, quite adhere to international standards.

Our hotel in Kovalam, the Leela Kempinski, was fabulous. Because the resort is situated on a cliff, it gives a jetty like feeling- as if you are on the deck of a ship. The rooms are also excellent and the service unimaginably good. My son wanted to have chocolate ice cream in the middle of the night and guess what? They served with a smiling face. I am sure this is one of the best resorts in India.

At Rajasthan they arranged our stay at a place called Neemrana in an ancient fort turned heritage hotel. This was also a great experience and the huge Neemrana Fort itself has got so much to offer that you would hardly need to go for a sightseeing tour. I got all the information about all these resorts from www.india-hotels-resorts.com which also offers online booking facilities which is why I could book all the rooms in advance and didn’t have to face any of the touts at the airport.

India Hotels

On top of the world, down under! Yes it was a long ride to India but rewarding in ways more than one. After a couple of movies, a gulp of liqueur and three meals I started making a plan as to how to cover the wide spectrum that we call India. A quick glance through a brochure of www.india-hotels-resorts.com gave me an inkling that I won’t be able to cover the country in 14 days. But being a trekking buff I wanted to visit the mystery that they named The Himalayas. Yes I was determined to spend atleast 7 days in the mountains of the North after which I decided to climb downhill to Varanasi before going on to Delhi, Rajasthan and Kerala. One thing that struck me most about all the India Hotels in general irrespective of category and place is the geniality and heart felt cordiality of the staff. Interestingly the stories that I grew up on as India as a magical and mystical land of the Fakirs seemed as distant as ever. A myth so to say! These people at the hotels were educated and could teach the Yankees a thing or two about English.

It is important to mention here that except in Rajasthan and Kerala I did not put up in a star category of Indian Hotels. Most of the hotels uphill were simple accommodation options but the redeeming point was the scenery. Wordsworth would have given the Lake District a miss if he would have been here. Having said that I would also like to clarify that personally I do not need luxury to sustain me while I am traveling in the Himalayas. Nature sustains me. In Rajasthan I put up in a heritage hotel and felt being a part of the Rajput era. I was conforming to a way of life that is totally unknown in the West- from silver cups to four poster beds everything was so fascinating. That such a heritage existed is a revelation of a kind. Kerala was a different ball game altogether. It features some of the best India Hotels. I heard from a common friend about the miraculous effects of Ayurveda Massage. So here I am all eager to go in for my first Ayurveda session. I came out refreshed and de stressed. Worth every penny! Try it!

One significant thing that I learnt while I was here is that tipping is virtually an option here except in up market luxurious hotels. A 10% service tax is added and that’s all about it. In smaller or budget class hotels you need only tip a few rupees and not a percentage on your bill.
