My wife and I have traveled extensively in Asia for the past ten years and of all the many hotels we have stayed in, Tiger Moon had the kindest and most welcoming staff we have ever encountered. The wait staff are attentive and go out of their way to help you with anything you need. The hotel manager is very good and was tremendously helpful on several occasions when we were having difficulty getting in touch with our safari drivers. The chef is amazing! We loved everything he made. When I'd read that the hotel served buffet-style I was expecting the food to be mediocre - but I couldn't have been more wrong. The food was over-the-top delicious. The hotel grounds are very beautiful with about a dozen cottages scattered around in a jungle setting. Each room has its own veranda that looks out on the forested grounds. My wife and I are fond of birds so we were thrilled to see all the parrots, woodpeckers, barbets, etc. and to wake up to the sound of all the bird calls. The hotel is located less than a five minute drive from the gate to Ranthambore core zones, so getting to/from the safaris is very easy. We came in March and did four safaris in which we saw several tigers (including a mating pair just off the roadside in zone 7), leopards, mongoose, and lots of other wildlife. Everyone we spoke to at the hotel had all had great luck on their game drives as well. Ranthambore is a magical and beautiful place. If you have any desire to see tigers in the wild, you should come here and stay at Tiger Moon. I wish I had known in advance that the manager could book the safaris for us. We were disappointed with the lack of communication from our safari company but it was obvious that everyone who booked through the hotel had a stress-free experience with on-time pickups. If you haven't been to India yet, you should go! It is such a vibrant, fascinating country (especially Rajasthan) with wonderful people, interesting culture, delicious food - and of course tigers (the supermodels of the animal kingdom).
