Virginia at reception was amazing! Beautiful property. Just be aware the property is INSIDE the park. So you will have to pay the park fee ($60 per person and $15 for vehicle) to get to the property, so plan accordingly.

The staff! They made our stay at Sarova memorable. If we had another honeymoon, we would spend it here. Lots of credit to everyone that made it special. From the reception to the restaurant to the sauna, the spa, the pool, and the room services. We extremely enjoyed our stay. We will be back soon.

Property was beautiful and staff were great. There was a lot of noise from staff and guests outside our room. Almost felt like there was no privacy. The buffet at the lodge was not upto 4 star standards. Food tasted bland and old.

The friendliness & helpfulness of the staff, the cleanliness, the facilities, everything was almost beyond our expectations. Chalets were on a hill and at 70 we found it tiring to walk up to ours after our meals, but had we a lower one, we wouldn't have had the wonderful view.

Deben insonorizar las habitaciones.

El hotel está muy bien. La situación es muy buena. El problema son las habitaciones. Resulta que se conectan por una puerta interior, y no filtra los sonidos. A nosotros nos despertaron a las 5: 15 de la mañana, los huéspedes de la otra habitación y simplemente estaban hablando. Parecía que estaban en nuestra habitación
