Even before our journey to Rishikesh had started, we were hosted over the call by Ms. Vandana (Ops. Manager), who stayed in constant touch to understand the entire plan and what we might need for this stay at Aloha by the Gnages. She was professional yet gave a beautiful personal touch to this trip of ours. As it was an all-girls family trip, including our mothers of 60 & 50 years of age to a little munchkin of 3 and we 3 sisters, Ms. Vandana made sure that everthing went smoothly. Upon walking towards the reception, we were welcomed by a refreshing nimbu paani, a maala and a chandan tika. In all its true essence, this was a nice experience to be welcomed by the Ganges. We were warmly then seated to help us check-in by Ms. Sonika (FO reception), who also later helped us with the formalities and with a bright smile, explained everything about the property, dropped us to our rooms and made sure we were comfortable. We were then greeted by Ms. Garmia and Mr. Vipin Bhatt for our lunch in the restaurant, who helped us with the little one's food specially and looked after us very well with such a warm smile. Until the day we checked out, they remembered us and during our entire stay, they made sure to smile and say hello where ever they saw us, it felt as if we were at home and all these people around us were family members who would in general come ask us how are we and how is the stay going. A great shout-out to the HSK team - Ms. Aanchal & Mr. Akhil, who made our rooms and did a fantastic job. With my sisters, I had a great time at the Patio, and I cannot thank Mr. Sumit enough, who was an absolute gem and saviour to help us decide the food and drinks. What a humble, kind and patient ***. It was a privilege to be hosted with open arms by everyone in this property and to not miss at all, the chefs here are putting in some great efforts, the food is not merely food you would eat at a reosrt or a hotel but they give you ART, they bring you the memory of the past without even knowing you would need that, their food is like nostalgia hitting you right on the soft spot of all the love and hugs you would get from your grandparents and in this travelling life of mine specially, I have not seen that enough. All my respect to the hard work the chefs and everyone involved put in to deliver such an experience. The entire staff was wonderful and welcoming from when we entered the property until we left. It was great to witness the hospitality they have for everyone, from an old person to a child; THEY TREAT YOU ALL THE SAME, LIKE ONE BIG FAMILY. The gatekeeper helped us with the parking and the porter was ready to load the luggage. It was a busy day as we could see but not even a second was wasted and we saw 2 porters waiting for the car to be parked and to help us.
