Sterling Puri

It's a sterling property which is time share program. So good sea facing rooms are reserved for members. When we stayed here, it was booked for a wedding. So too many people around the resort. Location is bit outside of the main Puri area. So if you have your own vehicle then no issues. It right on the beach but accesing beach is not easy and this part of the beach is dirty. Restaurant is nice. Food is good. Pool is nice. Game room is good but some items are chargeable. No spa here.

The Sterling Puri Resort is located in a location where there is no chaos or rush and you can enjoy a peaceful setting while still being close to Lord Jagannath Mandir and other nearby tourist attractions. The resort has been exquisitely constructed for global visitors and has been maintained well. The staff members are really compassionate and courteous. The chefs and personnel, including Mr. Sakat, Mr. Nur, Ms. Sujata, Ms Manju and Ms. Lizarani, who constantly strive to give you the finest services, make the in-house restaurant fantastic.For your upcoming trip, I would recommend this resort, and I'm sure you'll have a great time.

BRIEF NOTE ON STERLING PURI TRIP OCT24 1. The lobby area is very impressive with swimming pool view and sea shore 2. The rooms are at ground plus two floors without any lift …hence senior citizens should request and insist for ground floor 3. There are 12 rooms facing the sea in the reception building, mostly occupied , and my hunch is they don’t upgrade to sterling member as they offer as paid rooms 4. The sterling members get base category rooms and can get upgrade by paying extra amounts 5. The food is little expensive from the Puri standard 6. However the food quality is very good ….chef Abhijit , Sajjan Shefali and Hemant take care of individual needs …buffet spread is not lavish but adequate….. 7. Restaurant staff is awesome with always smiling face ….especially LIJALIN, lizarani , Sujata Raghunath Pradyuman and Salim ….in fact all staff members are always ready to take care of the table assigned 8. We were given a temple gift by LIJALIN with a photograph with her at the restaurant! 9. We had taken taxi services from Sahu of Jagganath travels , with good cars and drivers for city and Konark tour 10. The sea shore at the property is not a beach , it’s a marshy land , one can’t venture out there , however famous golden beach and marine drive is just 10 minute drive from property … 11. Anita, Manju and Deba reception are exceptionally helpful Overall , as a sterling member this was our first trip after almost 20 years , perhaps the new properties being added are having better amenities to the members to offer which we will surely explore …..that way with membership and utility fee and membership fee it’s a value for money proposition as we had taken membership of original sterling chennai before it was taken over by Thomas Cook india …..
