I had an absolutely amazing stay at Saro Lake County! The staff was incredibly friendly and made me feel right at home, especially Mr. Abhilash, who was super helpful with local recommendations. The only downside was the limited dining options, particularly the handmade pasta, which wasn’t great. Overall, the stunning scenery and the relaxing infinity pool by the lake made up for any minor flaws.
