Detailed Reviews
This review is written during the period that India had a total lockdown due to the corona virus. This means that we could not enjoy all the facilities like Spa, Fitness Centre and Swimming pool (They were closed because of Governmental rules during the lockdown). In spite of this we really enjoyed our stay. We first booked for two days but in the end we stayed in this hotel for two weeks.
There were various reasons why we decided to do this:
First of all the hotel is new, clean and very comfortabel. It is the most comfortable hotel (4****) in Palolem.
Second of all we got to know the staff (management and employees) very well during this period and found out they were not only professionals (with the expected tasks to do) but they also wanted to contribute to the local community during the crisis. They provided (free) food to people that did not have enough to eat and asked us to tell tourists in need they could come and collect food and drinks at set times.
Third of all the top management of this hotel decided to keep the hotel running. There were approx. 12 members of staff present to look after 4 (!!) customers. The staff that was send home were paid in full as well (which is not common practice in India).
Last but not least the (top)management decided after a few days to reduce the roomrates with 25% and gave a discount of 10% on drinks and food without us asking this.
To conclude: This hotel proved to be more than a provider of rooms. Management and staff showed that they have a mission and vision that is unique in the hotel business. It proves that during crisis times you get to know the core of an organisation!!
We will be back when all is normal again to experience the hotel with all facilities.

I loved our stay here and would recommend it. My only advice to the hotel is... Be confident with your guests, if a guest is noisy, doesn't shower before entering the pool... feel free to ask them to behave properly. At the time of our visit some guests were noisy, they played loud music at the pool side ( most rooms are pool view so most rooms will have heard the music) and noone I saw in the pool in the three days I stayed there used the showers. I think a sign in clear view of the pool showing guests where the showers are is required (they are tucked away out of view). Lovely breakfasts, great games room and gym, beautiful pool maintained by expert pool man, a truly relaxing place. Thank you.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
One of the few star properties in this area, this hotel is perfect if you wish to stay close to the beach but also with proper comfort. Very neatly kept rooms with Kohler bath fittings and chic decor. They have taken extreme care of sanitisation right from your entry without causing any discomfort. Breakfast buffet was a bit let down maybe due to current situation. Even though the main beach point is about 500m away, there are many walkways which can take you via some shacks to the beach in 4-5 minutes.
Very limited and cumbersome parking space at the hotel is the only drawback.
Overall a pleasure to stay here!

Hotel Rooms were good with proper sanitization except some Minor Maintenance issues, It is Basically Cute Boutique resort with very little or no open spaces & only 500meters from palolem beach with nice Ambiance. Staff service was good but without warm, caring and welcoming attitude. 0.5Mbps internet is not upto the mark according to their claim of high speed internet.
Buffett Breakfast was good but 80% of things were repeated everyday. Overall they claim 4 star, but I will rate them 3 star.

The stay in this hotel is so peaceful, Everyone respects everyones privercy, and the most important thing is that its only 3 min walk to the beach from the property. I was in LALIT in January as my company has a event thare and trhere i was made so comfertable ny this girl named Pearl, yes like her name she is very unique. she is very kind hearted, open minded and the most important thing s that she is very warm and lovely. On my arrival at Sarovar i was warmly welcomed by arti tika and the checkin in was very smooth, i and my friends had booked rooms inth property. Pearl did our checkin very smoothly ans showed us our rooms and helped with our WIFI password. The whole staff of sarovar is amazing. Fasr services and amazing food. I would recommend this place to my friends and family, and teh most important thing is that they have placed hand sanitizer in every corner to take precaution from the virus. To the people who are planning to come to this place , to them i would only say go ahead and dont worry you will not regrett it.

The rooms are first class very large with a balcony terrific bathroom. The bed was excellent. The room.service was top notch two checks per day Glass bottles water always topped up. Good TV a bit limited for English News but movies and Sport fine. Breakfast was excellent. The pool is good but gets very hot the breeze on the beach makes that the place to swim and sunbathe.
Palolem is quiet closes early few reasonable bars Cheeky Chili has some good Blues and Reggae. Beach shacks are great the one we used was Marita Beach Shack the food was amazing and the service from Sassi and the others made it our spot of choice.
I really enjoyed our time in Palolem it was very relaxing.

We had booked 2 rooms in Sobit Sarovar for 4 nights in June for a relaxing stay in south Goa and it was the best decision we made. The hospitality of the hotel staff was excellent. The rooms were clean, the food was amazing ( check out for their stupendous breakfast spread- something to look for each day). The bathrooms were clean and tidy and one of the unique things there was that they provided a stand for drying clothes in the balcony. How thoughtful!
The food in the menu was reasonably priced so it would not hurt to order room service after a tiring day of touring.
The swimming pool had a kids section and the whole pool was cleaned every single day in the morning. The whole property was adorned with beautiful flowering plants.
Palolem beach is a 2 min walk from the hotel , so one always has the option of never missing a beautiful sunset at the beach.
Our aged parents and toddler kids enjoyed as much as we did and it was equally convenient for them, the whole experience.

Elegant property, offering well appointed rooms with a glitzy (by the evening) pool view, in the vicinity of Palolem beach. The staff, exhibiting the demeanour that befits a professional establishment, dutifully follows all the safety and hygiene protocols. The service ethos that dictates the guest's comfort and convenience be held paramount seems to be well-embedded in the work culture. If only the F&B component of the stay had contributed in equal measure, the vacation would have become memorable and the hotel rating transcended to excellent. It appeared as if the guys in the kitchen wanted to get done with the daily rigour, with little inclination to leave an impact.

I stayed with my family and we had booked 2 rooms under my brother's name on 19th sept for 2 nights. Location of the hotel is fantastic. Safety standards were followed with perfection. Special mention to reception staff named Narvita for ensuring we were welcomed with a warm smile and rooms were alloted considering we were a family. She ensured we are comfortable in the rooms and had a warm smile and enquired if we needed any assistance everytime we passed by.
The only feedback from our side was for the food taste not meeting expectations compared to its pricing. The only food we prefered and tasted good during the stay was chicken fried rice. And one thing disappointed us was on the day of departure we came down for brkfast at around 9 am and inspite of brkfast timing being 7.30 am, buffet was not placed, however the chef on live counter preparing egg dishes made us happy and satisfied with the wonderful cheese masala omlette and Narvita made sure we get the breakfast quickly and till then our luggage is got down.
Overall the stay was fantastic . We had a great time and are surely planning to be back soon..

Hotel is very nice, new rooms, fresh furniture, friendly staff. Very near located to the beach of Palolem. Better to order only breakfast. Dinner is not very comfortable, because it is not a buffet (order from menu). Rooms are very quiet, you can't listen your neighbours, bed was comfortable and quiet soft/hard medium. We slept good. But our holidays passed lucky and we enjoyed service and hotel accommodation. Actually I recoment that hotel to everybody! Thank you dear Sobit!
