Corbett's BEST Kept Secret: Rawatjee Homesaty Awaits!
Corbett's BEST Kept Secret: Rawatjee Homesaty Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups! We're diving headfirst into a review of this hotel, and trust me, it's gonna get messy. I’m the kind of reviewer who spills coffee on the keyboard and forgets to wear matching socks – so expect the unexpected! Let’s see what this place has to offer… and if it’s worth the potential sock mismatch.
Accessibility: The Good, The Okay, and The "Hmm…"
Okay, let's get the serious stuff out of the way first. Accessibility: We’re talking wheelchair accessible. Gotta give huge kudos for that. Elevator? Check. That’s a massive relief. But! I’m a bit concerned about the sheer number of things listed that are vaguely “facilities for disabled guests” – it’s a little… vague. Hope it translates to actual ramps, wide hallways, and rooms adapted for all abilities. The presence of an accessible restaurant/lounge is brilliant – crucial for a good stay.
Internet – Praise the Wi-Fi Gods!
Free Wi-Fi in all rooms?! Hallelujah! My inner digital nomad is doing a happy dance. Internet access [LAN] is still a thing? Interesting. Maybe for the old-school techies. But Wi-Fi in public areas is key too. I need to update my Instagram story of course.
Cleanliness and Safety: Did They, or Didn't They?
Alright, this is where things get… crucial, right? The world is a bit germ-averse these days. So, let's see what this place promises:
- Anti-viral cleaning products: Good. Very good.
- Daily disinfection in common areas: Excellent.
- Professional-grade sanitizing services: That’s what I'm talking about!
- Room sanitization opt-out available: Okay, this is interesting. Letting you decide if you want the full hazmat treatment? I appreciate the choice.
- Rooms sanitized between stays: A must-have, period.
- Hand sanitizer: Everywhere, please!
- Staff trained in safety protocol: Super-duper important!
- Sterilizing equipment: Phew. Sounds serious.
- Hygiene certification: Good.
- Individually-wrapped food options: Makes sense.
- Physical distancing of at least 1 meter: They get it.
- Safe dining setup: I hope this doesn’t mean eating in a hazmat suit.
- Sanitized kitchen and tableware items: Essential.
- Shared stationery removed: Smart. No more cootie-filled pens!
(And this is where some of my inner critic snarls a little…)
The potential red flags:
- Room sanitization opt-out available: I mean, does this mean that guests can opt out of room sanitization between stays? Why would you want to do that?? This is a slight worry.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this place is a spotless, germ-free paradise.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: My Stomach is Rumbling!
Okay, this is where things get exciting, or potentially disastrous. Food is everything to me. Let's see what we have:
- Restaurants: Plural! Promising!
- A la carte in restaurant: Like I choose what the fuck I WANT. Love that.
- Breakfast [buffet]: Oh, yes. Bring on the pain. I will be that person who piles way too much food on their plate.
- Breakfast service: good.
- Asian breakfast: Interesting, and very me.
- Coffee shop: Thank the Lord. I need my coffee.
- Poolside bar: Yes!
- Snack bar: Always appreciated.
- 24-hour room service: Okay, now we're talking.
- Vegetarian restaurant: Always a massive plus.
- Western cuisine in restaurant.
My BIGGEST concern…
The actual quality. A buffet can be either heaven or hell. I've eaten at buffets that were incredible and buffets that gave me food poisoning for a week. I'm going in with cautious optimism here.
Things To Do: Relaxation, Be Still My Beating Heart!
I’m a sucker for a good spa day. Let's see what we've got:
- Spa: Check!
- Sauna: Yes! Need to sweat out all the toxins.
- Steamroom: Even better!
- Massage: OOH!
- Body scrub & body wrap: I want to be a human burrito!
- Pool with view: This is important. I want to feel like I’m in a movie.
- Fitness center/Gym: Gotta work off all those buffets!
- Swimming pool [outdoor]: Essential!
- Foot bath: Interesting… I've never actually done a foot bath.
- Kids Facilities: Because I have small humans.
This sounds like a recipe for pure bliss. I particularly need my blood pressure to go down.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Extras That Make All the Difference
- Daily housekeeping: Thank goodness! I'm a disaster.
- Elevator: Yes!
- Concierge: Always helpful.
- Currency exchange & cash withdrawal: Always useful.
- Laundry service & dry cleaning: Important. I’m a messy eater, what can I say?
- Food delivery – I approve.
- Convenience store: For those midnight snack cravings.
For the Kids (And the Child in Me!)
Babysitting service: This is important for my sanity.
Rooms: Do They Meet the Mark?
- Air conditioning - The only thing that helps me sleep
- Blackout curtains: Crucial. I'm a vampire!
- Coffee and tea maker: Yes!
- Free bottled water: I'm constantly dehydrated.
- Internet access – wireless: YES.
- Minibar
- Non-smoking rooms, Thank God
- Private bathroom
- Separate shower/bathtub
My Honest (and Messy) Verdict and the "HELL YES, Book It!"
Overall Impression: It ticks a lot of boxes. The safety measures seem pretty thorough. The amenities are plentiful. The internet access is perfect. The food has BIG potential.
But… and there's always a but…

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to plan a trip to Rawatjee Homesaty in Corbett, and let's just say, it's gonna be less "carefully curated perfection" and more "organized chaos with a side of existential dread and amazing food."
The Rawatjee Homesaty Corbett Adventure: A "Relaxing Getaway" (Maybe?)
Day 1: The Great Escape (and the Dread)
- Morning (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM): The plan was a leisurely start, right? Yeah, right. My internal alarm clock, which is basically a rabid squirrel, decided to go off at 5:47 AM. Groan. Coffee. Strong coffee. The kind that could power a small village. I mean, pack the bags. Double check the passport, wallet, and that slightly embarrassing book I'm pretending to read ("Existentialism for Dummies," naturally). Call the cab. The cab is late. This is going swimmingly.
- Mid-Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): The drive starts! Yay! Finally, sweet freedom… until I realize I forgot my noise-canceling headphones. Devastating. The car radio is playing what I can only describe as "Bollywood Dubstep Christmas Carols." My sanity? Slowly eroding. The scenery improves, though. The lush green of the journey from New Delhi to Corbett is breathtaking. I catch myself smiling… and then I remember I haven't eaten a proper breakfast. Panic sets in. Must. Find. Snack. Immediately.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 3:00 PM): Arrival at Rawatjee Homesaty! Oh. My. God. The air… it smells amazing. Like, freshly cut grass and a hint of something woodsy and I don't know… alive. Forget the journey, THIS is it. The welcome drink is some kind of local concoction. Delicious. The staff are so warm and welcoming. Genuine smiles, not the hotel-industry kind. Someone actually remembers my name. I feel embraced. The cottages are adorable. Rustic charm with a modern twist? Sign me up. I quickly unpack and try to claim the room with the best view. I lost. Apparently, the room across from mine has the most stunning view. I sulk quietly.
- Late Afternoon/Evening (3:00 PM - 8:00 PM): A leisurely stroll around the property to get acquainted. The entire time, I am looking at the other room with the view. Trying to calculate how long I can stay in the lobby before the owner thinks I'm a creep. This place is so… quiet. Too quiet? Nah, just right. Then, it's time for dinner. The food. Oh, the food. Everything is homemade. The freshest ingredients. I swear, the chef must be a culinary wizard. My stomach is beyond happy! I overeat like a champ.
- Night (8:00 PM onwards): Stargazing! I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical about this. City lights have ruined me for the stars. But seeing the sky, unfiltered by city lights, is breathtaking. I try to identify constellations, fail miserably, and just enjoy the vastness. Before closing my eyes, I write in my journal. About the journey, the view I don't have, and the food. Feeling happy, excited, and so exhausted.
Day 2: Tiger Territory (Maybe!) and the Joy of Simplicity
- Early Morning (6:00 AM - 8:00 AM): Wake up. The view from my window isn't the best. But at least I am not sitting next to the air conditioner. It is what it is. Get ready for the safari. Pray that the jungle gods will be nice to us.
- Morning (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM): The Corbett safari! Oh. My. God. The jeep is bumpy. The air is dusty. I keep thinking I'm going to fall out. We spot a deer. That's awesome. Then, a monkey. Cool. And a… bird. Wow. We're still hoping to see a tiger, even though the chances are slim. I make friends with a local, and he promises me that luck is on my side. I try to believe him.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Lunch at the Homesaty. Remember that culinary wizard chef? Lunch is even better than dinner the night before. I vow to find out what they put in the food to make it so addictive. We also have a chat with a local guide after lunch. He tells me stories. I feel a bit more connected to the place.
- Late Afternoon/Evening (4:00 PM - 8:00 PM): The quiet hours are here. No screens, no people. Only the sounds of silence. I drink my coffee and grab my book. I read a chapter. Then I close my book and stare ahead. I'm thinking. Thinking about everything and nothing. I love this place.
- Night (8:00 PM onwards): Dinner again. More food. (I can't believe it). More stars. More reflecting. I can't believe how much I'm enjoying this.
Day 3: Goodbye (But Not Really)
- Morning (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM): Wake up. The morning is nice. I feel a bit heavy from all the rich food. It hits me that it's time to go home. A wave of sadness washes over me. I don't want to leave. Try to enjoy the last breakfast. Sneak an extra helping.
- Mid-Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Before leaving, I take a walk around the property one last time. Try to savor every moment. This place is so peaceful. I make a mental note to come back.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 3:00 PM): Time to bid farewell, my stay in Rawatjee Homesaty. The owners and staff are all so kind and cheerful. Another round of photos and hugs.
- Late Afternoon/Evening (3:00 PM onward): Time to start driving. I see the familiar yet bittersweet sight of the journey to Delhi. The same route I took a few days ago. Though bittersweet, I can't help but feel a deep peacefulness and appreciation for the experience.
Final Thoughts:
Okay, so it wasn't perfect. I didn't see a tiger. I lost the view for the whole trip. But the food was amazing. The people were amazing. The feeling? That's the thing that will stay with me. This trip reminded me to stop, slow down, and just… be. And honestly? That might be the best adventure of all.
Ayia Napa's BEST Kept Secret: Napa Prince Hotel Apts! ✨
Wait, what IS this even about? I'm so lost already. Is this normal??
Okay, so like, first of all, deep breaths. Yes, feeling utterly lost is *completely* normal, especially in this... *thing* we're doing. Seriously, I'm still not 100% sure. But, it's about trying to figure out stuff, right? Or at least, pretending to while faking it 'til you make it. (Spoiler alert: I'm still faking it.)
It's like, you ever tried to assemble IKEA furniture? The instructions are incomprehensible, you're missing a screw, and everything wobbles precariously? Yeah. That's this. Except the furniture is your life and the screw is... well, the answer to *everything*. Good luck finding it. I'm pretty sure I lost mine in a sock drawer ages ago.
Okay, fine. But *why* does this exist? What's the point? Is there a point?!
Ugh. The Big Questions. Can we just skip these? No? Fine. Look, I've spent *years* pondering that one. Mostly while staring at the ceiling at 3 AM fueled by lukewarm instant coffee and existential dread.
Honestly, I don't THINK there's a pre-ordained, flashing-neon-light-of-a-point. Maybe it's about the journey? Maybe it's about the people you meet? Maybe it's just... survival. And the occasional really good slice of pizza. You know?
I once saw a pigeon eating a discarded french fry. It looked so *happy*. Maybe that's the point. Just... the french fry. Be the pigeon? I dunno. I'm still working on it. My therapist would have a field day with this response.
How do I deal with… you know… the *bad* stuff? Like, the overwhelming, soul-crushing, can't-get-out-of-bed stuff?
Oh, *buddy*. I hear you. That's *real*. That's the stuff that makes you want to scream into a pillow (or just… actually scream, no judgement here) That time my dog ate my passport the DAY before my dream trip? Yeah. Bad Stuff.
Here's the brutally honest truth: there's no magic bullet. There's no "one size fits all" solution. What worked for me last Tuesday might not work for me today. Some days you just gotta let yourself wallow. Watch terrible reality TV (guilty!), eat ice cream straight from the carton, and remind yourself that everyone feels like this sometimes, even the ridiculously successful-looking people on Instagram.
And maybe, just *maybe*, talk to someone. A friend. A family member. A professional. Even just a stranger on the internet who *gets it*. Seriously, don't be afraid to ask for help. That's the bravest thing you can do. And honestly, that's usually the ONLY thing that gets me past the pit of despair.
What if I mess up? Like, *really* mess up? What happens then?!
Oh, honey. You will. Guaranteed. You *will* mess up. You'll say the wrong thing, make a stupid decision, burn bridges, and maybe even accidentally set your kitchen on fire while trying to cook a romantic dinner (true story, by the way... the dinner was NOT romantic). And the world... won't end. Seriously. Probably not.
Here's the thing: mess-ups are part of the deal. They're fertilizer for growth. They're lessons disguised as horrific situations. They’re the reason you have stories to tell, even if those stories involve charred food and mortified apologies. Take a deep breath, own up to the mistake, apologize (genuinely!), learn from it, and move on. You can't change the past, but you *can* shape your future.
And maybe, just maybe, laugh about it later. You *will* laugh about it later. The time I accidentally dyed my hair GREEN before my cousin's wedding? Yeah, I’m still mortified. But also… it’s a pretty good story now.
How do I... you know... be *happy*? It seems so unattainable sometimes.
Ah, the million-dollar question. And, again, I don't have a perfect answer. If I did, I'd be sipping margaritas on a beach somewhere, not writing this.
Happiness, for me, isn't a constant state of bubbly joy. More often, it's a series of small moments. A good cup of coffee. A phone call with a friend. The feeling of the sun on your face. A cat purring on your lap. Finding a parking spot right in front of the store.
It's about learning to appreciate the little things. It's about practicing gratitude, even when everything feels awful. It's about being kind to yourself, especially when you screw up (see previous question). And it’s about actively choosing happiness, even when it's hard. Which is, let’s be honest, most of the time. It's a messy, imperfect, ongoing process. Like everything else.
Can I just... give up? Sometimes, it all feels too much.
Ugh. Yep. Been there. Multiple times. That crushing weight of everything? It's exhausting. And sometimes, the answer feels like... *escape*. Completely understandable.
The thing is, and I know it sounds cliché, but often that feeling’s just temporary. It's the dark before the dawn. Sometimes, you just need a break. A long break. Or, a REALLY long break. A nap. A weekend getaway. A whole week hiding under the covers with a good book and a mountain of snacks. Do that. (Seriously, prioritizing self-care. Do it.)
And if the feeling lingers… well, please, PLEASE seek support. Talk to someone. Reach out. There are people who care. You *are* worthy of support. You are not alone. And I, for one, am REALLY glad you haven’t given up. Because the world is better with you in it, even if you don’t feel it right now. Please choose to see tomorrow.
