I've been in the past and had a great experience. Just called book another stay and now they are only taking vaccinated customers... seems like an interesting stance for a place where people go to detox. Disappointing.

I stayed at The Raj for a much needed series of PK treatments. I have not done PK in the States and I was a bit curious how it would compare. I'm almost finished with my stay and I would give them 10 stars if I could. Even with a soft opening and being very careful in regards to Covid, the environment is engaging and everyone is eager to make you feel at home. I will be visiting again soon.

The woman at the front desk told me she could fly. These people believe by staring at ancient space tools they just absorbe the knowledge of the universe. Everyone around the town walked in silence. This place gave off a really weird vibe. I am convinced this is a cult. Just waiting for the Vice News documentary to surface.

This place felt like a cult or something, super quiet and the same guy just played piano all day. The spa was weird too, I was just bathed in herbs! Very very beautiful though...

Everybody is friendly and the panchakarma treatment is authentic. The entire staff genuinely cares that you enjoy your stay and get the most out of your treatment plan. They are very accessible even after leaving the Raj.
