We stayed at Saavaj Resort for 2 nights during our Gir trip and honestly, it turned out to be one of the best parts of our vacation. The property is surrounded by greenery and has a very peaceful atmosphere. The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-maintained. What impressed us the most was the hospitality. Every staff member greeted us with a smile and made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay.

The food was surprisingly good, especially the Gujarati dishes served during dinner. The evening tribal dance performance added a unique local touch to our experience. We also booked our Gir safari through the resort, and the entire process was smooth and hassle-free.

Visited Saavaj Resort with my family and everyone loved it. The resort has a perfect balance of luxury and nature. My children spent most of their time in the swimming pool and play area while we enjoyed relaxing in the garden.

The rooms were spotless, and housekeeping did a great job every day. The location is excellent for anyone planning to visit Sasan Gir and Gir National Park. Waking up to the sounds of birds and enjoying tea in nature was a refreshing experience. We left with wonderful memories and are already planning another visit.
