Privacy and great service.

Accommodation and facilities is great. The surrounding was perfect, but if they could have a Point where we can see the down hill clearly for the photos then it will be great. Also, if they can provide more choice of the activities then it would be also great. Staff is friendly and treat everyone with care. Love the place and I will return if I have a chance to go back and visit.

Have to take in all the hotel has to offer. Had a very good experience in the gym with early morning stretches. Talks were educative. Wish the treatments were cheaper.

Great spa lovely staff expensive plain small rooms

A tranquil break in an oasis from the traffic & pollution of Delhi. Beautiful ground & surrounding for yoga & to pamper oneself, good place to go alone or in a small group. The staff very attentive & sweet. I booked the room on 1/F with best valley view, was expecting a big room for the price(double that of the other palace view & exclusive of meals & treatments)was surprised to find the same smallish size bedroom, comfortable yet far from luxurious furnishing one would expect from one of the 'top 3 spas in the world'!

Great spa

The massages are really terrific. The hotel offers packages but individual ones cost about $80-$100 for 55 minutes. Food is varied and fresh. Activities are limited and a long stay can perhaps get a bit monotonous.

Blissfull feeling at Ananda - World's Best

During my recent visit to Ananda near Rishikesh, I had one of the most amazing experiences ever. This was my first visit to this spa, while I am a regular visitor to the their other wonderful hotels called Ista Hotels. I can assure you that my experince was breathtaking right from the movement I stepped out of my car at the Airport, where some from the hotel was there to receive me and make me comfortable in the vehicle assigned to take me to the hotel. It took about 50 minutes to reach the hotel where I was greeted with Malas and Ginger Infusion that was amazing welcome. After a brief introduction I was escorted to a wonderful Valley View room with an awesome Ganga view. I proceeded to the spa and booked a Sweedish massage after my lunch, which I thoroughly enjoyed and came out wanting more. My wife was equally rejuvenated with the Ananda Touch after which we went for the Golf and Meditation which kept us entertained throughout the day. The day finished with an amazing meal at the deck under the beautiful stars. Next morning we went for yoga followed by a hearty breakfast and relaxation by the pool. Unfortunately my visit for 1 night was too short. Thus I have decided to come back again for atleast a week. I have learnt that some 7 nights packages are all inclusive that offer spa, meals as oart of the package and that is what we will book for our next visit.
