Taj Gorbandh Palace, Jaisalmer

TAJ GORBANDH PALACE JAISALMER TRIP REVIEW DEC24 1. We had booked for 4 nights , but with missed flight , we reached next day 2. Thanks to GM Tejas ji , for considering request for waiver for 1 night no show , by giving 50% relief 3. In fact in Jaisalmer 3 nights are sufficient 4. Taj GORBANDH is a small palace of maharaja of Mewar , with good architecture and lavish gardens around 5. We had booked suites , though expensive , but with good amenities with bathtub with jacuzzi in the suite 6. We had booked a cab from a taxi vendor for 4 days as booking through hotel is expensive with GST impact additional 7. First day , we had fabulous tour of the FORT and PATWON ki haveli 8. The fort was barricaded for gst council meeting jaisalmer with embargo on vehicles going to fort 9. Will recommend guide service , we are fortunate to have Vikram Rathod as our guide who managed us to get through shortcuts and auto into the fort 10. We had fabulous view of fort and the city from the rooftop of KD PALACE hotel within the fort and had marvellous view of the sunset witg courtesy of Rathod guide 11. Next day , we had booked for sand dunes jeep and camel ride with night folk dance and dinner , booked through hotel 12. We were told if you do it on your own it’s perhaps half the cost 13. However we had good time with jeep safari and had good dinner at Kanak resort with folk dance and musics for a small group of 10-12 persons 14. The service at the hotel is really exceptional at reception ,housekeeping and restaurant 15. At reception Manvar Abhishek , Ronit Yuvraj greet you always with smile 16. At restaurant Rajani, Pratap , Suvernil are ready at service and chef Vajid 17. We had requested for special dishes which they made it ready at dinner and even during breakfast 18. At checkin you are greeted with Dhol and trumpet rendition with flower garlands , makes you feel special 19. There is everyday puppet show in the evening with high tea which is good for kids 20. There is everyday folk song rendition by local artist near the pool side 21. We were informed that pool has temperature control mechanism on asking for it and takes 1-2 hours to heat up….we didn’t try with cold weather - [ ] Few suggestions and comments for improvement for management - [ ] The AC in the suites are really noisy and we had to switch off to have a good sleep with fan - [ ] The windows are not sound proof to take care of the dhol and trumpet every time someone checks in - [ ] There is a airbase nearby with fighter jets doing sortie with thundering noise , which can be taken care with good window glssses used by hotels near airports - [ ] The bathtub mechanism does not work with touch buttons , one has to really fidget to have on or off - [ ] The bathtub are not senior citizen friendly and requires utmost care and help to get in and out OVERALL A GOOD EXPERIENCE OF THE CITY AND THE TAJ HOSPITLITY I. ROYAL STYLE !!
