Aman-i-Khas

Our stay at this Aman property, located in the jungle on the edge of Ranthambore National Park, was nothing short of magical. The hotel’s exclusive location provided an intimate and peaceful atmosphere, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the surroundings while still enjoying the highest level of luxury. Our tent was beyond our expectations, offering all the modern amenities one could ask for (including a high-tech Japanese toilet!). The tent was beautifully designed, blending nature with comfort to create a truly unique experience. The service was exceptional, embodying the renowned Aman hospitality. Special thanks to our butler/ "Batman" (KC), who was always on hand to ensure we had everything we needed and made our stay even more memorable. The meals were absolutely delicious, adding to the perfection of our stay. The hotel also features a lovely stepwell pool, which was the perfect place to relax between or after our safaris. Its tranquil design and refreshing waters made it the ideal spot to unwind after a hot day in the jungle. We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the entire team for their kindness and commitment to making our stay unforgettable. Their warmth and professionalism truly made all the difference and ensured that our experience was exceptional.

Impressive amount of thought and attention to detail for all aspects of our experience; from the spacious tent, multiple seating areas, deeply comfortable bed and pillows, to the bathroom amenities and the delicious food. The care and attention by our “Batman” and every single member of the staff for whatever need we could possibly conjure was overwhelming. It speaks to a focus on great leadership and training, and set a standard by which our future hotel/resort travel will be judged. One word of advice to those planning on taking a safari-book through Aman-I-Khas. It is worth every penny to have a private tour using their driver (ours had 25+ years of experience) and the contracted naturalist. On our two safaris (one early morning, one late afternoon), we saw two different tiger families (multiple broods and the father) which was beyond our wildest hopes. But most importantly, the driver and naturalist worked seamlessly to position us in the best places within the zones for the optimum experience. Their insight into how the tigers would move was uncanny and resulted in us observing the tigers’ behaviors for several hours. The icing on the cake is that the naturalist took many amazing photos which Aman-I-Khas provided us as a part of our experience.

We had the most wonderful stay and cannot thank everyone at Aman-I-Khas enough; nothing was too much trouble and they were incredibly attentive, providing everything and more than we could possible need, from cookies, tea and hot water bottles for the safari’s to our very own personal ‘Batman’. It was so luxurious and yet somehow still felt embedded into the wildlife. We will definitely be back and can safely say that it is one of the most special places we have stayed in.

We stayed for three nights in December 2024 with our two daughters, ages 11 and 7. It was a long drive there, but boy was it worth it! First off, they have individualized butlers, called a batman, who see to every one if your needs, from turndown to meals. We had KC, who is a delightful person and an absolutely amazing hotel employee. He anticipated our every need, and was patient with all of our American requests. He gave us a tour one morning, complete with candle making, playing with goats and rabbits, and bracelet making. Definitely do it. The last night’s meal was outdoor by the fire and traditional Rajasthani. It was delicious - as was all the food, but particularly that night. The room was amazing. All four of us stayed in one room and it was plenty of space - the kids slept in the day bed. It’s very thoughtfully designed and able to be both warm and cold. It’s not a tent experience - better water pressure in the shower than we have at home! Oh, we also went on three game drives and saw a tiger, leopards and sloth bears. Amazing all around!

We travel a lot around the world, and this was by far one of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at. What truly made it magical is the incredible service from our Batman, Bijay, who came pick us up all the way to Delhi and took such good care of us. Also, our safari drivers, with a special shoutout to Deep, who went above and beyond to find the tigers so we could see them before leaving! I am thankful for evryone that made this trip one of my favorite ones yet.

I am writing to express my profound disappointment and dissatisfaction regarding the experience I encountered during my stay at Aman I-khas. I stayed at their establishment from March 2 to March 4, 2024, and I must say it was one of the most disappointing experiences of my life. One of the reasons for my stay was to explore the wildlife park and engage in horseback riding, as advertised on your website (see attached). However, upon arrival, I encountered several issues. Firstly, when I booked a one-hour horseback riding session, there was no helmet available in my size, posing a safety concern. During the ride, our group faced several hazardous situations. Young people on motorcycles approached the horses at high speed, causing my guide to fall. Additionally, we traversed areas littered with waste and narrow paths where tractors passed by at high speeds, endangering the safety of all participants (see attached). Upon my return to the hotel, I immediately expressed my concerns to the General Manager. I explained to the GM that it was his responsibility to ensure that the proposed route was safe and that it aligned with the conditions advertised on the website. However, he refused to take responsibility for the situation, citing that the horses were subcontracted from another company. Despite my requests, no compensatory measures were offered for this disastrous experience. This experience is in stark contrast to what is promoted on their website. Furthermore, it is unacceptable that the establishment fails to take necessary measures to ensure the safety and well-being of its guests. It appears that Aman lacks sensitivity in ensuring guests have an extraordinary experience and taking responsibility for any shortcomings.
