Lagoon Sarovar Premiere Resort - Pondicherry

I recently stayed at Lagoon Sarovar for two days, and it was honestly one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. For the price they charge, the standards here are shockingly low. 1. The place is advertised as clean and well-maintained, but the reality is completely different. The floors were sticky and dusty, the room reeked of damp, stagnant air, and the smell from the lotus pond wafted right into the room. To top it off, the AC was leaking, and we even got locked in because the door jammed. 2. The first day, there wasn’t even any hot water available. 3. The location is incredibly remote, and the resort’s transportation options are outrageously overpriced. 4. I paid around 30,000 rupees for just two days, but that doesn’t even cover half of their activities. It’s ridiculous. 5. The pool was filled with insects—sure, it’s near nature, but if there are that many bugs, the pool should be cleaned regularly. 6. The breakfast was subpar, to put it mildly, and the prices for lunch were absurd. To make matters worse, the tea served at breakfast had the thickest layer of malai on top. The least you could do is strain the chai before serving it. 7. They charge 1200 rupees for a 15-20 minute paddle boat ride for three people. Why even nickel-and-dime guests for that when we’re already paying such a premium? 8. There were no basic amenities like conditioner or face wash provided. Even budget hotels like OYO include these essentials, so how can a so-called luxury resort at this price point not provide them? This hotel desperately needs a complete overhaul. I’ve stayed at Marriott and Four Seasons properties before, and even at a fraction of the price, the experience was vastly superior. If you’re going to charge these kinds of rates, the least you could do is provide a level of comfort and luxury that justifies the price.

Amazing place to stay, good number of activities provided by resort. Food was delicious. The staff was so helpful with any requests made anytime. Nice view from lagoon facing room. Staff were so polite and service was just great, they provided timely responses for all the requests we made for the anniversary and overall stay! the beach is also near by. Definitely recommend staying here.

Me & my wife had a perfect 2 day stay at this beautiful resort. The lush gardens, clean pools, and serene backwaters created the perfect atmosphere to relax. Paradise beach is just 7 min drive away with ample car parking and awesome water sports. Staffs are very helpful, rooms are clean and big enough. I stayed in Deluxe room, the only thing that I thought was missing is a openable window for ventilation. Definitely a recommended one, if you are looking to relax in Pondicherry!!!

We absolutely loved our stay at the sarovar lagoon. It was really pleasant. The staff was helpful and the food was decent

We recently had a pleasure to stay at this amazing resort. The resort is beautifully maintained with stunning views that creates serene and relaxing atmosphere. It’s even more perfect destination when you are staying with kids. They have wide variety of playing options for kids. The dining experience was equally amazing. Though they have limited menu but all the meals were delicious to taste buds with touch of local ingredients. Thank you to the head chef saroj and his team for some amazing food experiences.

The property is located at a calm and secluded place. It has a lake beside it, where they offer a range of water activities. It’s a good place for a relaxing weekend
