Reviews and Ratings
I had a good experience overall at the resort, which is set in a beautiful location with stunning views. The cleanliness and landscaping were impressive, and the staff was really helpful. However, the dining experience fell short, as the food lacked flavor and service was sometimes slow. The room had a few maintenance issues, but the overall atmosphere made the trip enjoyable.
My stay at the resort was absolutely wonderful! The room decor was stunning, and I had an excellent view from my room. The staff, especially Mr. Shankar, Pravin, and Rutni, were incredibly helpful and made our stay memorable with their warm hospitality. The dining options were diverse and tasty, though it would have been nice to have more variety for kids. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience, but the price felt a bit high for the dining quality at times.
My stay at the resort was truly memorable, thanks to the stunning views, exceptional service, and delicious food. The location offered a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the city, making it perfect for relaxation. However, the lack of air conditioning in the rooms was uncomfortable at times, and the warm water took longer than expected to arrive. Overall, it's a fantastic place to unwind and enjoy beautiful experiences.
My stay at Sterling Elk Hill Resort was simply amazing! The breathtaking views and serene atmosphere really stood out to me. The rooms were spacious and well-kept, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure comfort. While the dining options were varied, I found some dishes could use improvement to match the beautiful setting. Overall, it felt like great value for a picturesque getaway, but a wider selection in the restaurant would enhance the experience even more.
My stay at Sterling Elk Hill was truly memorable, thanks to the amazing staff and breathtaking views. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, catering well to families. Although there were some minor issues with the bathrooms that need modernizing, the service provided by the staff more than made up for it. The dining experience was quite good, but it could be slightly better with a wider variety of options. Overall, it's a wonderful retreat that offers good value for money.
