I had a lovely getaway at this resort with breathtaking views of both the mountains and the beach. The highlight was definitely the warm hospitality extended by Vimla and Ajay, who made our experience memorable. The dining was excellent, although the room lacked some of the luxury I expected from a resort. Overall, the stay was enjoyable and I'd love to visit again once things normalize post-pandemic.

My stay at this resort was an unexpected delight. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure our comfort. Despite a hiccup with the swimming pool being under maintenance, our experience turned around dramatically thanks to the attentive and caring approach of the chef and the rest of the team. The dining was simply outstanding, although the seafood options could use a bit more work. Overall, a fantastic spot for families, but the initial pool situation was a letdown.

My stay at Sterling Karwar was phenomenal! The resort offered breathtaking views, luxurious accommodations, and exceptional service. It was great to have direct access to the beautiful beach.
