Sterling Puri

Stayed for 3 days and 4 nights. The place ja near to Taj. Food is very expensive so better plan to have it outside as there are plenty of cafes on beach road offering less costly and tasty food (though everything we tried was super tasty). Room bathroom was stinking not properly maintained (stayed in 1205). Staff is courteous and helpful. Pool near to beach was undergoing renovation. Also they have closed the entry to beach so no beach access from hotel. You have to go to beach road which is 10-15 mins away from hotel either via car or auto. Ample parking space (not covered). Tried spa which was good. All in all good stay. Thanks sterling for making our first stay in puri good. Jai Jagannath.

Appreciation for Exceptional Hospitality.
This is Pan India present chain of properties amd right from the Ceo to the GM and team below one of the best team in hospitality industry.
I am writing to share my sincere appreciation for the world-class experience I am having at your property.
From the moment I arrived, GM Sameer ensured an excellent welcome and flawless arrangements.
In my view, the Sterling Group is operating as a global leader, surpassing the standards of many well-known legacy brands.
The property is impeccably maintained, but it is the staff that truly sets you apart.
In particular, Sanjiv from In-Room Dining was exceptional, catering to my elderly parents’ needs with genuine care and professionalism.
Having spent nearly 20 years in the corporate world within the insurance industry, I have a keen eye for operational excellence. It would be my genuine pleasure to recommend Sterling to my professional network as a premier choice for upcoming corporate conventions and large-scale events.
My only regret is that my leave balance doesn't allow for an extra day!
My compliments to you and your entire team for setting such a high benchmark in hospitality.
Warm regards.
Tapan Mehta.

Wonderful stay at Sterling Puri. Personalized attention, good hospitality, spic and span rooms, good housekeeping and last but not the least, THE FOOD WAS INCREDIBLE. All the 3 restaurants had scrumptious food, especially Amo Odisha and Solara.
Special thanks to Gayatri, Chhatrasal, Pranay, and Nur ji. Their service was commendable and highly appreciated. Keep up the good work.
Sterling Puri highly recommended!

I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The service was truly commendable—staff members especially Babuni, Sneha and Jasoda were courteous, attentive, and always willing to help with a smile. Check-in and check-out were smooth and hassle-free. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, reflecting great attention to detail. Overall, the hospitality exceeded my expectations and made the stay relaxing and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others and look forward to staying here again.

It's a huge property located near the beach. There is space for parking of vehicles but it is not adequate. The security guards keep cautioning you about the possibilities of falling coconut on the vehicles in the parking space. Rooms are comfortable but not adequately furnished. I stayed in a delux room which had only one chair for seating. Food is good. Before proceeding to the resort, I received a call from the hotel enquiring about any special occasion during my stay. I was pleasantly surprised and told them about my wedding anniversary. I was told that they will provide a complementary cake and asked me the preferred time slot. I said between 5 and six p. M. However, no one bothered about it and I was also reconciled about. In another context I mentioned about it at around 8:00 p. M. Finally, I got a cake only after my dinner.
The resort is a good place to celebrate social occasions like marriage and get together.
The resort arranges cultural activities in the evening in it's amphitheater.
The resort is good but staff members are not well trained and have a lackadaisical attitude.

I came with my wife and 2 sons.
We ordered premium garden view room and been very disappointed because it was on the 3 floor without any view and didnt looke like on the pictures.
The management agreed to changed our room to the sea view deluxe which is significantly better — has nice size with large balcony and has a beautiful ocean and pool view.
*the minus in this rooms the balcony is attached to the near by rooms which give less privacy and security.
Oveall the hotel looks pretty well.
The pool is nice but dosent has deep area.
Breakfast in the multi cuisine restaurant was mostly Indian and average.
The gaming room for children is nice although some games which usually free in hotels required extra payment.
There is not at all alcohol services in the hotel which is a significant drawback.
The price was high but as I understood it was because of the marriage season.

Beautiful property, breathtaking views. Very well designed and the rooms are huge. Special mention to room service and house keeping. Super prompt, professional, polite and quick which is a pleasant surprise. Attention to personal details and amazing food. The breakfast crew is smiling and welcoming — in spite of serving full houses and standing for long hours — they serve you exactly what you need without any complain. The Spa is very good and the staff is very professional. Aditi at the front desk is very good and goes above and beyond to make guests comfortable.
Only tip is that the hotel has a lot of wedding and events so it is better to stay a little away from the halls/ reception if you want to have a peaceful stay and access to the beach is not there.

We had a very pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean, and the overall atmosphere was peaceful and well maintained.
I would like to specially appreciate Lakshmi Priya at the front desk. She welcomed us warmly with flowers and applied a traditional tilak, which we truly appreciated — it made us feel respected and welcomed.
She was very friendly, polite, and patient throughout our stay, and handled everything at check-in and check-out smoothly.
Her calm and sweet nature really stood out and added a personal touch to the experience.
Staff like her make a big difference to guests. Would definitely recommend this hotel.
Housekeeping staff were helpful and attentive. Special thanks to Sneha and Vijaya Manoranjan for their service.

Bedding can be little more cleaner. But the housekeeping staff are polite and change the sheets at your request. Bathroom is clean with no overpowering smell of room deodoriser. Quiet and serene place with peaceful environment but little far off from main road so gives an edge to autowalas and taxis to court whatever they want. Breakfast is delicious, but uncut fruits are missing. More variety can be added e. G. Cold coffee! Stuffed paranthas. Outdoor lights are little less for the night near the back wall. Overall the staff are polite, hospitable also the front desk staff is respectful.

Excellent hotel with exceptional service. The rooms were comfortable and extremely clean. The staff maintained a high level of professionalism and ensured a smooth and pleasant stay.
Subhash Manoranjan and Geetanjali from the housekeeping team were outstanding during my stay. The room was spotless every single day, with every detail taken care of perfectly. Their dedication, politeness, and professionalism truly enhanced my experience. Big thanks to both of them for maintaining such high standards!

Pros:
The property has an amazing location. The staff is very friendly and cooperative. Special thanks to Basanta, our server who made our experience even better. A good place for a smooth family vacation. Cons:
The rooms alloted to us even after our premium membership were not according to our membership plan. Even after making a booking 4 months prior we were told there are no rooms available and after multiple calls, we were given room as if they were doing a favour to us. I don't blame the hotel or staff but Sterling itself should look into the issue.

Not a Beachfront Resort – Overpriced for What It Offers *****
We appreciate the Sterling Puri management for personally meeting us, listening to our concerns, and responding politely to our feedback. However, it is still important to share the factual experience so that future travellers can make an informed decision.
⚠️ Important to note:
This is NOT a beachfront resort. There is no direct or private access from the property to the beach. Guests must exit the resort and use public access to reach the beach. While the resort may not explicitly claim to be a beach property, the aerial images and overall online presentation strongly create that impression — which can easily mislead travellers while booking.
Hospitality & arrival experience.
The check-in and welcome experience was very poor, with no guidance or assistance provided on arrival. We had to search for the reception counter on our own, which did not feel like a premium resort experience.
Rooms & amenities.
The rooms, interiors, construction quality, landscaping, tiles, and overall property finish are very basic and below expectations for the price charged.
For a property charging around ₹13, 000 per room per night including tax, the experience does not justify the premium pricing and does not match what one would expect from a 5-star rated resort.
• The restrooms near the reception/check-in area are in very poor condition.

The resort and staff are very good. The food and the service are exceptional. The Chef Sujan and Chef Kapil are masters of their craft and service by Sujata, Lizalin and Regina is by far the best I've seen. We overate almost everyday. The rooms were clean and efficient and the Reception people Saumya and Abhijeet are very helpful and prompt. Excellent place to stay. The staff even helped with guiding about the mandir darshan. 10/10 would come again.

It’s beautifully located on the sea side and has a breathtaking view of the sea. The atmosphere in the literal sense is clean and pure. In terms of ambience it is festive and joyful. Rooms are well maintained and spacious with lots sunlight. Room cleaning very good… Spical thank you for Rasmi & Ramesh.

A good resort in Puri. Property is spacious and big for a leisurely stay. Rooms are well maintained and staff provide a prompt service. We stayed in Garden View Premier room which was a wonderful experience. Room is not as big as they advertise but has enough capacity. We didnt have a balcony to the room but good view of Garden and empty space from the main door.
They have a decent indoor sports room where children can engage well along with elders. Couple of games like snooker is on chargeable basis whereas others are free to use.
They have couple of very good restaurants in the premises. We visited Utkala restaurant which had mainly buffet which was really top notch. However food is on an expensive side and for staying more than one day, budget could be an issue. There are no other decent options around the property by the way and nearest place for good food are at the start of Puri marine drive.
Ample parking is available if you have own car but if you rely on hiring cabs, it could be challenge considering this resort is at a far end from Puri city (approx 5-6 kms from Shri Jagannath Temple)
Also the resort provide no great view for sea facing rooms as main seashore is far from the view area of resort. Hence it does not matter much whether its a sea facing room or not. They also have a pool which is maintained very well.
Overall it was a pleasant stay with great rooms and good service.

We had a great stay at Sterling Puri. The property was very nice. Rooms were well maintained. Food was really good in both restaurants. Staff members were polite and helpful. Would like to call out Basanta, Sabitri, Lizrani and Anita for their excellent service. One major drawback was that despite being a beach front property the beach was not accessible from the resort due to the wooden bridge being broken. There were few other issues, but staff were very helpful to resolve them.

My stay at The Sterling Resort, Puri was truly delightful and memorable. The hospitality extended by the staff was exceptional — warm, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. From check-in to departure, every interaction reflected their genuine commitment to guest comfort.
The food was wonderful, with a wide variety that catered to every palate. The buffet spread was rich and flavourful, offering both traditional Odia delicacies and continental options. Every meal felt thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented, making dining one of the highlights of the trip.
The ambience of the resort perfectly complements the serene beauty of Puri’s coastline, providing both relaxation and top-notch service. I would highly recommend Sterling Resort, Puri to anyone seeking a mix of comfort, hospitality, and great food.
