We chose Uma Paro (our first stay in a Como property) because it is the No 1 rated hotel on tripadvisor and we were not let down. We stayed for a week (our second trip to Bhutan) and were very happy overall. The hotel is located close to the airport and we had a delightful front office person to recive... More

My husband and I wanted a relaxing getaway after a hectic 4 months of meeting deadlines, and we were recommended Uma Paro by my sister-in-law who went last May. From the time I phoned and spoke to Anuka of Reservations in mid April to the time we reluctantly left on Sunday May 20, we have had the best experience. We... More

This was my third trip to Bhutan and my third stay at Uma Paro. As usual it was the most amazing weekend of relaxation. I have travelled to Uma in the past and done the trekking and sight seeing.

My husband and I were supposed to stay at the Nak-Sen hotel in Paro for our last 2 nights in Bhutan, but when I saw the recent reviews indicating terrible food, I asked our tour operator to move us to the Uma. We are so glad we did! While we only secured a superior room due to this last minute... More

Stayed here for a week and I highly recommend this resort. The staff from waiters, housekeeping, reception to guides were all superb - very helpful, sincere and genuinely aimed to please.

I stayed at the Uma Paro for only a few days and loved it. They have free yoga classes in the morning which overlooks the mountains and provide amazing breakfasts. It's a great place to stay and visit the wonderful sights around. The hotel also smells wonderful (so much that I ended buying their signature essential oils the hotel uses).... More

The graciousness of the personnel at Uma Paro is beyond superlatives. While the facility and the country are unique, it is the people who made our 10 day vacation there memorable. Two in particular merit kudos: Pema and UT. Thank you to them from the 3 generations they served. More
