Escape to Paradise: Shree Krishna Hotel, Dechu, India
Escape to Paradise: Shree Krishna Hotel, Dechu - The Honest Review (Plus, a Plea for You to Go!)
Alright, folks, buckle up. This isn’t your sanitized, corporate-speak hotel review. This is the real deal. I’m talking about Shree Krishna Hotel in Dechu, India – and after my stay, I’m convinced it’s secretly a portal to another dimension. Or, you know, just a really, really good hotel. Let's get messy with it.
(Disclaimer: I'm a little obsessed. And I’m still dreaming of that pool…)
First Impressions (and the Journey):
Getting to Dechu is part of the adventure. It's far from the beaten path, which, frankly, is a huge selling point. I mean, who wants to be elbowing tourists for a selfie? This place feels remote. Almost…untouched. The drive itself offers a glimpse of the real Rajasthan, the one you see in dusty, breathtaking colours, and the friendly locals.
(Side note: Airport transfer? YES! Crucial after a flight. They do it, and it's a total lifesaver.)
Accessibility & The "Almost Perfect" Factor:
Okay, let’s be upfront. This isn't a fully, 100% perfect accessible place for everyone. Facilities for disabled guests are mentioned, but I would recommend contacting them directly if you have specific access needs. They seem genuinely helpful, and they would be the best people to confirm specifics. Elevators exist, and that's a good start. But hey, no one's perfect, right? (Except maybe that pool…more on that later.)
The Rooms: My Little Oasis:
My room? Glorious. Seriously. Air conditioning (essential!), a comfy bed, and this…this window. Opening it up in the morning, letting in the fresh desert air, was pure bliss. They boast “non-smoking rooms,” which is a huge bonus for a non-smoker like me. They also have "Soundproof rooms," which, thankfully, helped during my neighbor's impromptu karaoke session (more on that later). I have to admit, the complimentary tea and bottled water were lifesavers. I'm also a sucker for a good bathrobe and slippers. I was a hotel snob that day!
(Obsession Alert!)
Internet & Digital Detox (Or Not):
Wi-Fi? YES! Free Wi-Fi in all rooms? Double YES! While I meant to disconnect, I'm not going to lie – the internet was pretty solid. It allowed me to, you know, occasionally check emails and post envy-inducing photos of the pool on Instagram. They also offer Internet [LAN], which is great if you're the kind of person who still uses those things. I’m not judging.
Dining & Drinking: A Culinary Adventure (with a side of Surprise!)
The food! Oh, the food. Let's be real, a stay isn't complete without an Asian breakfast. They have an Asian restaurant, so I had a western breakfast, an a la carte restaurant, buffet restaurants, and the food was diverse, and absolutely delicious. The Asian cuisine was fantastic. They also have a coffee shop. Which is a great place with happy hour. If I'm being honest, I was a little disappointed they didn't have a dedicated dessert restaurant, but as soon as I saw that salad, all was forgiven. The poolside bar was divine. The poolside bar was divine, too. And the bottle of water? Essential! I'm surprised I didn't drown in it.
(Confession Time:)
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: My Personal Heaven.
This is where Shree Krishna truly shines. The pool! I'm telling you, the pool is an experience unto itself. A pool with a view. I spent hours just floating, staring at the sky, the desert stretching out…it was pure meditation. They also have a sauna, spa, gym/fitness, steamroom, and a whole host of other treatments if you're into pampering, but honestly, I was so content by the pool I barely ventured further. A full day of me time. A glorious day!
(Anecdote Time!)
I tried a body wrap. Then I tried a body scrub. My skin felt like silk, and I felt like I'd shed ten years.
Cleanliness & Safety: Feeling Safe and Sound (and Sanitized!)
This is a big one, especially these days. They take cleanliness seriously. The staff trained in safety protocol, they have hand sanitizer everywhere, and the rooms are sanitized between stays. They had anti-viral cleaning products, and I felt completely secure the whole time. Daily disinfection in common areas? Check. Sanitized kitchen and tableware items? Check. I actually ended up feeling safer there than I sometimes do in my own home.
(Another Quick Anecdote)
The doctor on call? Surprisingly comforting to know. I didn't need him, thank goodness, but just knowing he's there put my mind at ease.
Services & Conveniences: Above and Beyond.
The level of service is fantastic. The concierge was helpful, the daily housekeeping immaculate, and the air conditioning in public areas was a godsend in the desert heat. They even have a gift shop! I love that. I had to get some souvenirs for my friends.
(Confession: My "Meeting" with the Doorman)
The doorman was this amazing man. He always had a smile. He had my car parked, he had my bags, and I had no idea how he was doing it so quick. I was a mess!
For the Kids (and the Young at Heart):
They're family/child friendly, and have babysitting service! I have to admit, I was jealous.
(Slight Imperfection Alert!)
Areas Where They Could Improve:
Honestly? Finding something to fault is tough. Maybe the signage could be clearer in some areas. Maybe the internet speed could be just a tiny bit faster. But really, I'm nitpicking.
Getting Around:
Airport transfer? Yes! Car park [free of charge]? Absolutely. They even offer a car power charging station. Taxi service? No problem. They've thought of everything.
(Emotional Plea!)
Now, here’s the thing. I need you to book this hotel. For me. Because then maybe, just maybe, they'll keep it precisely as perfect as it is. Don’t go expecting the slick perfection of a chain hotel. Go for the charm, the warmth, the sheer magic of a place that feels like a secret. That’s what Shree Krishna Hotel offers. Go. Escape. You won’t regret it.

Escape to Paradise: Your Naxos Summer Dream Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're not just planning a trip to Shree Krishna Hotel & Restaurant in Dechu, India; we're experiencing it. And let me tell you, this is going to be less "polished travelogue" and more "diary of a slightly unhinged but incredibly hungry person."
PRE-TRIP MADNESS (Let's call this Day -2 to -1)
The Booking Blunder: Okay, first things first. Booking. I'm not a travel agent. I'm a person who stares at a screen and occasionally clicks the wrong button. I think I booked the right dates. Pray for me, the Indian sun is no joke to miss.
Packing Panic: My suitcase looks like a ransom note made of clothes. T-shirts? Check. Hiking boots? Check. Anti-diarrheal medication? Double check. My stomach is already anticipating something… spicy.
DAY 1: ARRIVAL AND IMMEDIATE IMPRESSION (aka "Dust, Delight, and a Delayed Train")
The Train Wreck (Metaphorically and Possibly Literally): So, the train. Bless its rusty heart. We were supposed to arrive at Jodhpur station around… well, let's just say "sun-up." We arrived… hours later. Let's just say, "sun-down" and covered in a fine layer of Rajasthani dust. I'm beginning to suspect the train's primary function is to induce existential dread.
The Transfer: A bumpy ride: From Jodhpur, we had a taxi booked. The driver, bless him, clearly hadn't slept in days. He was friendly though, and the dust covered windows allowed a sense of mystery for about an hour before the blinding sun burst through.
Shree Krishna (The First Bite): Finally! We arrive at Shree Krishna. Honestly? The place radiates a certain… charm. A weary, sun-baked charm. We are greeted by smiles and a much-needed bottle of water. The room is simple, clean. And then, the food. Oh, the food. My first experience with the food, the Thali. And instantly, I knew it to be an experience. The flavors were an explosion of tastes. Spicy, fragrant, rich, and so utterly delicious. There was a slight miscalculation in the spice-level, so water was needed, but I wouldn't trade it for all the bland beige food in the world. The thali was delicious, I ate it. Delicious.
Evening Stroll (and Mosquito Massacre): After a quick nap (jet lag is REAL), we attempted a stroll around the village. Apparently, Dechu is a mosquito buffet. I am the main course. I returned, defeated and covered in bites, swearing to invest in a mosquito net the size of a small tent.
DAY 2: THE DESERT AND THE (Possible) Deserted Toilet
Sunrise in the Sand: The next morning, we had a sunrise camel ride booked. It was… magical. The desert stretched out before us, bathed in the soft golden light. Okay, I'm not gonna lie, it was a little bumpy. And my dignity took a minor hit when I almost slid off the camel. But still…magic. We were lucky to experience this.
The Lost Latrine (A Drama in Two Acts): Now, this deserves its own section. During the camel ride, nature called. Loudly. We were told there was a "facility" nearby. "Facility" turned out to be a small, sun-baked shack. The door had a tendency to "stick." I won't go into details, but let's just say it involved intense concentration, a lot of pushing, and a profound understanding of the fragility of human plumbing.
This deserves a re-telling. Several minutes of struggling with the door. The sun was beating down. I had to go. Finally, the door opened. The state of the room was…unappealing. I did what had to be done, got out, and slammed the door, feeling like I'd just escaped a horror movie. The adventure was harrowing and hilarious.
Lunch at Shree Krishna (Round Two): Needed something to reset the memory. Lunch at Shree Krishna, this time, with a focus on the milder dishes. The dal makhani was, once again, a revelation. I'm starting to think the chef is a culinary sorcerer.
Afternoon Rest (and Insect Encounter): Back to the room for a nap. Woke up to be greeted by a small, but determined, cricket who had also chosen my suitcase as a vacation spot. Took a while to get rid of the little bugger.
DAY 3: DEEP DIVE INTO THE COOKING MAGIC
Cooking Class Confession: We booked a cooking class with the chef at Shree Krishna. This felt like a spiritual experience. The dishes were amazing. It's a lot harder than it looks. It was an emotional rollercoaster. The smells, the spices, and the taste of my own cooking? Amazing. I have to try to do it at home.
The Food: The smell, the spices, the experience of eating my own cooking… Amazing. My Thali, surprisingly, turned out well. The chef was kind and guided, and I'll be forever grateful.
The Evening and the Return: Packing those memories, and the spice! I cannot wait to recreate them at home.
DAY 4: FAREWELL, DECHU (and a Final, Tearful Goodbye to the Dal Makhani)
Breakfast and Reflections: One last breakfast at Shree Krishna. A final, desperate attempt to savor the dal makhani before leaving. I almost cried. Really.
Departure: Back to Jodhpur and then… the rest of the world. A bittersweet farewell.
Looking Back: This trip was a mess. A beautiful, dusty, chaotic mess. It wasn't perfect, far from it. The train was late. The toilet was questionable. But the food, the people, the sunsets, the camels, the food…all of that make it absolutely, undeniably perfect. I'll be back, Shree Krishna. I'll be back for the dal makhani. And maybe, just maybe, I'll finally pack that mosquito net.
