Unveiling SAIKIANEST India: The Secret's Out!
Unveiling SAIKIANEST India: The Secret's Out! – A Whirlwind of a Review (Prepare for the Real Deal)
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because I just got back from Unveiling SAIKIANEST India, and let me tell you, it was…an experience. Forget those sterile, cookie-cutter hotel reviews riddled with corporate jargon. This is the real deal. My notes are a mess, my brain’s still processing, and honestly? I kinda need a nap. But first, the verdict.
Accessibility: Okay, starting with the practical. Accessibility is a big one, and SAIKIANEST attempts to play the game. They list "Facilities for disabled guests" and an elevator. That's a start, I guess. Didn't personally test this aspect, but hey, they say it. I'd recommend contacting them directly with specific needs.
Cleanliness and Safety: The Post-Pandemic Gauntlet
Listen, I'm still twitchy about germs. So the commitment to Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer everywhere (bless!), and Rooms sanitized between stays? Huge sigh of relief. Seeing Professional-grade sanitizing services at work actually made me feel… safe. The staff seemed genuinely committed to Hygiene certification and were ALL wearing masks, looking like actual superheroes defending against the microscopic army. Sanitized kitchen and tableware items? Check. Safe dining setup? Check. They were taking things seriously. However, they did offer an "Room sanitization opt-out available" option, which feels a bit…iffy. Why would you not want your room sanitized? I'm judging you slightly if you opt-out. Just saying.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: A Culinary Rollercoaster
This is where the real fun begins! Eating and drinking? My expertise.
Let’s be real: food is EVERYTHING. And SAIKIANEST…well, it’s a mixed bag. Let's dive in without preamble:
Restaurants: Okay, the restaurants themselves were plentiful and, let's be honest, a little overwhelming. A la carte in restaurant, Buffet in restaurant, Asian breakfast, International cuisine in restaurant – it’s tempting to try everything, but I found consistency was… lacking. One night was an absolute triumph of Indian spices; the next, a slightly bland affair.
Breakfast: The Breakfast [buffet] was a chaotic dance of hungry guests and scrambled eggs. (And, yes, I snagged some of those, even though it was the chaos I feared.) I did appreciate the Breakfast takeaway service, if I was in a hurry.
Poolside bar: The Poolside bar. Ahhhhh. This became my sanctuary. The setting itself was gorgeous; sipping a cocktail as the sun set… pure bliss. The cocktails themselves, however, were a bit hit-or-miss…
Snack bar and Coffee shop: Useful for quick bites and caffeine fixes.
Room service [24-hour]: Excellent. I have a soft spot for 3am club sandwiches and they delivered (literally!)
Vegetarian restaurant: They did showcase some interesting vegetarian options and it was worth a visit.
Happy hour: A delightful time and everyone seemed to enjoy it, no issues, just pure enjoyment.
Things to do: Ways to Relax (and Maybe Get Slightly Overwhelmed)
Okay, this is where SAIKIANEST really shines. It's like they threw every possible amenity at the wall and, miraculously, a lot of it stuck.
- Spa/sauna: The Spa. This is where I truly, utterly, completely fell apart in the best way possible. I'm not a "spa person" (too fancy, too expensive, too…something), but I was convinced to try it. I opted for the Body scrub and a Massage, and I swear, I floated out of there. Sauna available too. Just pure, unadulterated bliss. Highly recommended! Be prepared to shed your worries and transform into a puddle of relaxation.
- Swimming pool: The Swimming pool [outdoor] – simply beautiful. The Pool with view was particularly stunning, especially at sunset.
- Fitness center: They had a Gym/fitness. I'm told it exists. I…did not visit. (The spa was more compelling.)
- Steamroom: This was nice.
- Foot bath: I saw it, I considered it, I chickened out. Maybe next time!
Rooms and Conveniences: The Good, the Bad, and the Slightly Questionable
Available in all rooms: Air conditioning, Wifi, and etc.
- Bedroom Bliss or Bathroom Blues? The room itself? Perfectly fine. Clean, comfortable, and with all the essentials. However, the Bathroom phone was a bit of a head-scratcher. Who uses a bathroom phone? The Bathtub was inviting.
- Wi-Fi: Yep, Wi-Fi [free] and "available in all rooms", which is a necessity.
- Wake-up service: Thank goodness.
- View: I had a nice view. Not spectacular, not awful.
- Coffee/tea maker: Thank goodness.
- Separate shower/bathtub: Good to have options!
- Non-smoking: Yes.

SAIKIANEST: My (Probably Disastrously Wonderful) Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival and the Delhi Belly Tango (Pray for Me)
- Time: 6:00 AM - I'm jolted awake by the incessant honking that apparently is the Delhi alarm clock. My pre-dawn mantra: "Don't. Get. Sick." (Spoiler alert: I'm probably doomed.)
- Activity: Arrive at Indira Gandhi International Airport. The customs line feels longer than my dating history. I swear, I saw a guy trying to smuggle a whole bag of… spices. I'm already overwhelmed by the smells. Is that…cumin mixed with fear?
- Transportation: Pre-booked taxi because I learned the hard way in Vietnam – don’t trust yourself to haggle sleep-deprived.
- Hotel: Checking in to "The Royal Peacock" (no idea why) on the outskirts of Old Delhi. The website promised "regal splendor," my tired eyes are seeing "slightly crumbling charm." I'm pretty sure the air conditioning is powered by a very grumpy squirrel.
- Lunch: Street food, obvs. Against all odds. I’m hitting up Karim’s, a Delhi institution. Ordered the nihari. No regrets… yet.
- Afternoon: Exploring Old Delhi. Chandni Chowk is sensory overload – the colors! The noise! The potential for getting run over by a rickshaw! I buy a ridiculous scarf. I bargain like a pro (which means I overpaid, but I'm happy).
- Evening: More street food. A looong walk. Maybe the beginning of the "belly dance" as I'm starting to feel the first twinges of that inevitable Indian stomach situation. Quick prayers for the nearest western-style toilet and a functioning pharmacy.
Day 2 : The Taj Mahal… AND A MONKEY ATTACK (Yes, Really.)
- Morning: A 4 AM wake-up call to travel to Agra. The car smells vaguely of diesel fumes and the driver keeps chewing betel nut and grinning. I try to catch some zzz's.
- Early Morning: The Taj Mahal. Okay, the Taj Mahal. Wow. It’s even more stunning in person. I got there just as the sun peeked over the horizon, painting the marble in pink and gold. It's the kind of beauty that makes you want to weep a little bit. Or, in my case, want to take a million photos to prove to everyone I actually saw it. (Selfies, obvs).
- Morning: Ok so after the beauty of the Taj came the terror of a monkey. We were taking pictures and BAM! A monkey tried to snatch my sunglasses (thank god he failed, those were my favorite). Ended up running away like a complete idiot, shrieking. It was both mortifying and hilarious.
- Afternoon: Agra Fort. I’m so overwhelmed, I stumble over a loose stone and almost faceplant into a pile of… something. The guide keeps talking about Mughal history, but honestly, I’m still recovering from the monkey incident. Trying not to think about how close I was to becoming monkey-sunglasses-less.
- Evening: Travel back to Delhi. I'm completely exhausted, covered in dust, and my stomach is making some questionable rumbles. But, you know, worth it.
Day 3: Spiritual Awakening (Maybe?) and a Shopping Spree (Definitely!)
- Morning: A trip to the Lotus Temple. It’s a beautiful, peaceful space, and I actually manage to sit and meditate (for about five minutes). Maybe I’m becoming a better person? Or maybe I’m just too tired to do anything else.
- Lunch: Chicken Tikka Masala – the ultimate tourist cliché. But, hey, it's delicious. And I'm not going to deny myself.
- Afternoon: Dilli Haat! Shopping heaven! I bargain my heart out for scarves, jewelry, and spices. I spend way too much money. I feel no regrets. I see a guy wearing a t-shirt that says "I love Delhi" and I'm seriously considering buying one myself.
- Evening: A cooking class! I learn to make the most delicious butter chicken and garlic naan. The chef is a sweet old lady with a twinkle in her eye. I get covered in flour and feel vaguely domesticated.
Day 4: Rajasthan Bound! (More Chaos!)
- Morning: Packing (or attempting to). Realizing I have too many clothes and not enough anti-diarrheal medication.
- Transportation: Taking a train to Jaipur. The train is delayed by… well, everything. But the chai is good, and I strike up a conversation with a friendly local family who offer me snacks. This is the real India – the unexpected and the wonderfully generous.
- Afternoon: Arrive in Jaipur. Checking into a "Heritage Hotel" (translation: old, but charming). The rooms open up to a central courtyard, and there's a parrot squawking from a nearby tree. I feel like I've stepped into a Wes Anderson film.
- Evening: Dinner at a rooftop restaurant. Jaipur looks even more stunning at night. I'm falling for this city. I order too much food and vow to try and embrace the local slow-paced style of life .
Day 5: Jaipur – Pink City Dreams and Elephant Rides (and Maybe More Monkeys!)
- Morning: Amer Fort. An elephant ride up to the fort… and it's slightly awkward, but it’s iconic. The views from the top are stunning. I take a million more photos, of course.
- Afternoon: Hawa Mahal (Palace of the Winds). The architecture is breathtaking. I try to capture its beauty in a photo, but it's impossible.
- Late Afternoon Shopping for jewelry, fabric, and other souvenirs. Trying not to spend all my money in one place.
- Evening: Dinner at a local restaurant. Savoring the flavors of Rajasthan. Thinking about how much longer my stomach can take it! Feeling optimistic
Day 6: Varanasi - The Ganges, the Ghats, and a Spiritual Overload
- Morning: Flight to Varanasi. Praying for smooth travel and no delays.
- Afternoon: Checking into a guesthouse near the ghats. It’s basic, but the view of the Ganges is incredible. Already feeling its intense mystic energy.
- Evening: Witnessing the Ganga Aarti ceremony. It’s a sensory explosion – the chanting, the incense, the flames, the sheer number of people. It’s overwhelming, in the best possible way. I feel both deeply moved and slightly bewildered.
Day 7: Varanasi- The Sacred and the Sanitary
- Early Morning: Sunrise boat ride on the Ganges. Watching the sun rise over the water, seeing the rituals by the ghats feels spiritual.
- Morning: Wandering the ghats. Seeing the burning ghats, and seeing the life and death and everything in between. Remembering to breath (which is hard with the smells).
- Afternoon: Trying a local sweet. My stomach holds.
- Evening: Another boat ride on the Ganges at sunset. Taking it all in. Hoping I don't get sick. Praying.
Day 8: Departure (And Probably a Trip to the Pharmacy)
- Morning: Last-minute souvenir shopping and a final chai.
- Transportation: Flight back home (or to my next adventure.)
- Reaction: Grateful for the incredible experiences, but also relieved to be going home. Possibly in need of serious medical attention. Already planning my next trip back to India. Because, despite the chaos, the heat, and the potential for gastrointestinal distress, this country has stolen a piece of my heart.
Alright, this is just a rough outline. Expect plenty of deviations, spontaneous detours, and possibly a complete breakdown at some point. But that's the beauty of it, right? Adventure awaits. Let the mayhem begin! (And pray for me.)
