Shaantam Resorts and Spa

We traveled with our dog and the vacation could not have been better, all thanks to the wonderful people at Shaantam Resort. They make you feel right at home with their hospitality. Dogs are allowed in all areas of the property except the restaurant (there is outdoor seating for those who want to dine with their fur babies) and there is ample space for them to run around and play as well. The food is excellent and they make sure you get the entire breakfast buffet experience, even if you are the only guest in the hotel. Would definitely recommend, especially for pet parents.

I visited Shaantam Resorts & Spa in Rishikesh with my family. We booked the cottage with a pool inside; that was the best part of the trip. The rooms are beautifully done and have good decor. The washrooms are also good-sized. The pool in the room makes your experience a memorable one. The have a nice pool and a good gaming zone to keep the little ones busy. We really enjoyed walks in their beautiful gardens and the relaxing spa experience. The food is really good. They have nice vegetarian options. Chef Rajendra makes sure to take feedback after every meal. Overall, the team is very polite and courteous. Under the guidance of Mr Bhen Singh Chauhan, everything was very well taken care of. We plan to visit here again. Highly Recommended!

I went to this resort on 22nd June 2024 for 2 nights ***** with my parents. We had booked 2 deluxe room with balcony. Its my request to you all to never book this resort and waste your time and money. I Usually dont give reviews or generally give 5 star ratings by ignoring many things but cant do this time as i dont want anyone else to feel cheated again. Below are the pros and cons of the resort. Pros A) Good location, right on the hills B) Food is awesome and staff at the restaurant are very courteous and helpful, great staff there. Cons A) Its very different from as shown in the photo's, the photografers have done a tremendous job in creating an impression of 5 star resort where as its not even worth 3 Star B)The swimming pool was not as big as shown in the images and water was dirty with dead ants insects inside the pool making it impossible to use it. C) The play area was very hot and suffocating as there were no air conditioning inside it and no windows aslo hence making is very claustrophobic. D) It was mentioned that there would be nature walk/ trekking once during the stay but when we inquired we were told that you can go yourself outside and we would tell you the route. E) There was no one available for doing spa F) There is a yoga / mediation room but no one to help you with it. It is like do it yourself G) The basic things did not work, door bell was not working, Fridge stopped working , telephone didn't work, had to make 10 cals to get water and other basic things in the rooms. Dont waste your time and money on this resort, many other resorts available at cheaper prices all over the place.

Amazing experience. The resort is in great shape, very well maintained. We stayed in the Royal room which has private pool, and it was really great. The room itself was clean, spacious and equipped with all required amenities including a smart tv. The staff here is very polite, welcoming and friendly, even going out of their way to make your stay pleasant. The restaurant food is quite good as well - do try the pahadi daal!! The overall vibe is calm, serene and peaceful, a perfect luxuryweekend getaway to relax and recharge. Will definitely visit again

We came here off season but area was beautiful as always. Staff was supportive. Surrounding were mesmerising and will rejuvenate your experience. It is bit away from rishikesh but it also implies their top class location. Taste and quality of the food was also good.

My words are likely to fall short in describing the serenity of the resort and the magnanimity of the team that went above and beyond the call of duty to deliver flawless yet unpretentious care concern and hospitality. Coming to Shaantam was like coming home. For me, as a solo traveler, it offered an ambiance of quiet contemplation. Mesmerizing chants played in the courtyard. A sweet Shiva shrine with fresh flowers and copper pot to offer water was entralling. Amidst the flower and fauna, the monkeys dancing off branches eyeing the plate of food served on the terrace, the closeness to nature could not be casually dismissed. The room was spacious. Food was good. The team was fabulous. General manager Ben is an asset, a blessing for any business. The massage therapist Jyoti was amazing. Yoga teacher was assigned upon special request. And the grandest gesture of benevolence was the special effort made by the team to organize a havan (revered fire ceremony) upon my special request. Chef Deepak, Chef Dev, Manager Ashish, cafeteria service provided by Deepak Panday, Nitin, Anoop front desk, all were amazing.
