Como Uma Paro

We stayed at a villa with a nice view to Paro. The villa was very big and comfortable. The bathroom was very spacious with both a bathtub and a shower room. Our butler was very helpful and took very good care of all our needs. The restaurant seemed a bit dated and was rather poorly isolated. It was the end of November and there seemed to be a problem in keeping the room warm, so I had to ask for two blankets to keep myself warm during diner. The food was good and breakfast was very nice too. We were quite surprised by the price of the wine though: between 12 and 18 euro for one glass. It was more expensive than in many places in Europe.

We stayed at this beautiful place during our Bhutan Trip. Upon arrival we were a bit disappointed as the room assigned was very small (not what we are used to from Como). We were able to talk to the manager who assisted us in upgrading us to a Villa. The villa was fantastic. More that the actual room it was the service we received from everyone but particularly from our butler - Casper. He is incredible - paying attention to every detail, assisting us in issues, taking care of preparing special meals, providing over the counter medication for upset stomach, responding immediately to any of our request. Casper made our stay at Como Paro very special and unforgettable. Thanks you for the great experience from all.

We stayed here for 4 nights as part of a 6 night Como Historical Odyssey trip, the other 2 nights were at Como Punakha. For the trip we had two guides Yarab and Chimi who were absolutely excellent, they couldn’t do enough to show us Bhutan. Yarab had a huge amount of experience having been with Como since it opened and similar but not so long for Chimi our driver. We saw some amazing places,temples, valleys, mountains including the highest unclimbed mountain in the Himalayas. We were very fortunate with the weather as we had blue sky and sun every day. Both Yarab and Chimi made us feel exceptionally welcome in their homeland. We ended our trip on our very best day with a hike up to see the Tigers Nest Monastery, which although tiring was certainly worthwhile climbing to 3100m to experience it. Como Uma Paro itself was very nice, its sister hotel in Punakha I would rate more highly, there was just something about the service that was more personal. The rooms in Paro were very good, they probably need a bit of a refurb in the hotel but the views are stunning. We used the swimming pool and had a hot stone bath and massage particularly good after the Tigers Nest hike. WiFi was good, bathrooms fine, we found the hallways and communal areas a bit cold, the restaurant was fine with their wood burning fire. Food was very nice both the Bhutanese and Western, again I would say Punakha was better but all in all still pretty good. A great way to experience 6 nights in Bhutan, with two excellent ambassadors for Bhutan and Como.

Absolutely amazing stay!!! We returned to Uma Paro after 18 years and the property is still as stunning as we remembered it! We are frequent and discerning travelers…who stayed at over 23 hotels last year and ten so far this year…but I can touch my heart and say that everything was exceptional at Uma Paro from the property to the room to the food and the service.

Simply the best..... Whenever I am able to stay at Como Uma I do. Its the perfect first night stay into the Kingdom and the perfect place to stay the eve before departure. The spa is eceptional and I am always blessed they allow me to swim in the pool when I am able. The staff are always kind and caring and the food is excellent.
