Como Uma Paro

Uma Paro is lovely. We did the 7 night COMO highlights of Bhutan package and found it very good. The absolute stand out was our guide Tshering Dorji who was the best guide we’ve ever had on our travels - the perfect balance of deep knowledge, humour, patience and meeting all of our needs. He was amazing and along with our excellent driver Namgey looked after us brilliantly. While we broadly had an itinerary we shaped in as we went and added and subtracted according to what we wanted to do - all without any issue. COMO does really great food. Healthy; much sourced from their own gardens, options that are Bhutanese, western and Indian. And delicious. Head Chef Tshering was amazing and was wonderful to meet too. If you’re into food, it’s worth coming to COMO just for this. Beyond that staff were great - all of them. From managers to wait staff in the restaurants. We were looked after and accommodated in many ways. We enjoyed the spa treatments at both COMO sites though Nema at COMO Punakha was one of the best masseuses we’ve ever had (she is amazing!). Everything ran smoothly, from booking with the reservations team in advance, sorting visas and our actual trip. The trip is pricey and while COMO may be less than other hotel chains it still charges premium prices - on a global level. And we felt that the hotel just wasn’t up to the standard we’d have expected. A bit dated, needing a touch of TLC. But when you’re paying well over $1000 a night for a room it should blow you away. And it didn’t. Still; we had a brilliant time. If you pick COMO enjoy the food. And ask for Tshering as your guide. He’s amazing!

Spectacular property, beautiful pool, wonderful staff. The pictures don't do justice - our room was bright, modern, and the size of a large apartment complete with kitchen, living room, bedroom, and massive bedroom. The restaurant was wonderful and we returned to eat there again on our last night even though we weren't staying at the resort. Everyone went out of our way to make our stay perfect and we felt like royalty.

Had a very comfortable stay in the Villa., which are very well planned and comfortable .The bathrooms are large and enough space for dressing etc. The staff was very attentive ,courteous and helpful. The breakfast and also the menu in the cafe was very well served. Would recommend it to anyone visiting Paro.

We took whole package from Como covering Uma and Punakha. Our guide was Wangda and our driver was Tsering. Our guide and driver really made our stay memorable. I wouldn't want to spoil all their caring touches but rest assured we appreciated the thoughtful surprises like the full meal "picnic" lunch by the river and the fresh juices during our hikes. The food in Como and also during the tours were good. We looked forward to breakfast and dinner. The lady at the restaurant, Tema(?) at Como Uma was really so warm and kind. The rooms were cozy and very clean. The staff were sincerely very helpful.

Wonderful luxury hotel close to the airport, great to end the trip. It has everything you expect from a luxury stay. Great staff, great service and we had a one bedroom villa which was large and private. Our butler Karma was excellent. This is our first experience with COMO hotels and we look forward to trying their other properties. Restaurant was good. Breakfast was good. The spa and indoor swimming pool were beautiful. The grounds were private and beautifully manicured with the friendly local dogs that come to visit daily. This was the first luxury category resort in Bhutan (read “oldest”). As some of the reviewers have noted, it is a bit “tired” and could do with a refresh. But it didn’t take away from the wonderful stay and staff.
