The best thing about the Sarova is the staff. Everyone eager to help you and welcome you. The spa treatments were wonderful with Pamela and Caroline. Kelvin was the best waiter and Stanley handled a large group well. Our main problem was the lobby only holds 10 people so there isn’t a place to hold meetings. Fortunately the weather was good and we met outside at the poolside restaurant.

Great staff, bad manager.

The staff were amazing, but manager was very rude and unhelpful. I made 2 reservations, as i stayed there twice within a week. 3 days and one day. On the one day i forgot to check 2 people, but the manager insisted that i pay extra $40, for that mistake. He said one person is cheaper because less water, less towels, and so on. But then i realized that the price is the same, and when i confronted him, he said, its the policy, abd has nothing to fo with what he stated before, so he actually lied. He said it will be too much work for him to cancel the extra $40. We had a pleasant time with everyone, except the manager, whose supposed to be the best example of customer service. He was very rude and unprofessional. I have a group of 8 people coming in August, but we will definitely not stay there..

We have stayed at this property 4 D. out of the last 2 weeks. When one is part of a Safari group or Conventioniers, you're treated like gold. However, last night we stayed on an Expedia VIP booking, as a Gold member of Expedia which entitles us to free beverage and room upgrade when available. When checking in we were told, "there are no upgrades available due to the hotel being full." The standard room they gave us was more suited to be a meat locker with the AC stuck on high, and near a very noisy service entrance! While freezing in my jacket I checked Expedia for room availability that night, and surprisingly found availability in ALL categories! Back to the front desk and I informed them the room they gave us was unsuitable, where upon it was insinuated that I was just trying to cop an upgrade, "to a suite"! I was deeply insulted and expressed my displeasure by stating I came back to a Sarova Panarific Hotel because it was a great experience the first three times we stayed. We are a well traveled couple and we would NEVER do this sort of thing. We just want a room that's not glacial and more suited for Penguins than the one we were given. I informed the front desk of my findings on Expedia where rooms are available in ALL categories. The duty manager then responded with a bunch of double-speak mumbo-jumbo about categories. However, in the end we were accommodated after a long tiring day. Also, we were double charged for breakfast this morning, but it finally got fixed.
