We visited RS Sarovar Portico in Palampur to celebrate our wedding anniversary and the staff did all that they could to make it a special stay for us. We got an upgrade to a room that had a view of the Dhauladhar mountains on one side and the terrace restaurant on the other, and they even organized a yummy cake to complement our celebrations.
How was our stay at RS Sarovar Portico, Palampur
We loved the spacious room at the property. The amenities such as a mini refrigerator, a hair dryer, a kettle with tea coffee sachets, and complimentary water in the room were leveraged well. The property is located almost at the end of the market area and hence, there are quite a few shops around. We did not have to go far to buy some of the basic things.
The morning buffet breakfast was a good spread, and we relished the food options along with fresh fruits, juices, nuts, and cereals to go with hot/cold milk. You can even order eggs to be prepared the way you like, and they continue to bring hot toasts and puris all through the buffet time.
The location allows for walks around the local residential houses, and greenery with mountains in the background. For most of our stay, we enjoyed our food and drinks in the terrace restaurant. It got pretty cold at night in December and the indoor multi-cuisine restaurant was a good respite.
The revolving restaurant was under renovation when we visited. However, the manager on duty gave us a tour of the property, showing us the big banquet halls, the kids’ zone, the fitness zone, and the revolving restaurant too. He was kind enough to turn on the deck and even though we did not dine in here, we still managed to experience how it would be to eat with the moving views of the surroundings.
The resort organizes special events, and we got the invitation for their upcoming new year party as well. Someone told us that this is also a choice for actors to stay when a film shooting happens in this area.
