Kavish Gir Lion Resort

Very beautiful surroundings and easy access to gir, dewalia safari. Resort is also very beautiful and staff is really humble, helpful. Food tastes really good but would like to have more options. Only one suggestion is w- fi should also work in rooms

I am writing this review immediately after landing from my flight from Ahmedabad, as I felt compelled to share my distressing experience at Kavish, GIR. We stayed for two nights in Villa #501, which featured a private pool. The property is set amidst a vast mangrove with plenty of open green spaces and a small river running alongside it. The main swimming pool is well maintained, as is the private pool that comes with the villa. The room itself was spacious, comfortably accommodating three people, and equipped with all basic amenities. This is where the positive aspects end, giving way to a series of frustrating experiences caused by the sheer incompetence of Mr. Shekhawat and the untrained staff. Patience is an absolute necessity when dealing with them, starting with the most basic issue—food availability and preparation. Despite having an extensive menu with numerous options, only about 25% of the items are actually available at any given time. Ordering non-vegetarian dishes is particularly nightmarish. The waitstaff struggle to understand even the simplest requests, forcing me to speak directly with the chef. Even after providing detailed instructions, our food arrived incomplete and a staggering 2.5 hours late. I outright refused to accept this and had the incomplete item removed from the bill. The same ordeal repeated on the second night. To avoid further confusion, we opted for purely vegetarian dishes, yet we still ended up waiting an hour for our food. When we ordered coffee, we were handed three sachets of Nescafé, a cup, and cold water. Upon questioning the server, we then had to wait another 20 minutes just for hot water. The restaurant staff seemed clueless about menu availability, forcing us to check item by item. Despite the restaurant being nearly empty, there were always 5–6 staff members hovering around our table—yet they were of absolutely no help. Our room was not cleaned on the second day, and when we inquired, Mr. Shekhawat explained that it was because we hadn’t left the keys at the reception. Given that the room had an intercom, a simple courtesy call from the reception would have sufficed instead of expecting guests to drop off their keys. It seems they operate with a lodge-style mindset, and unfortunately, I found myself in the wrong place. On the day of checkout, the incomplete order (Rs. 239) was still included in the bill, and Mr. Shekhawat refused to remove it. His justification was that the order only missed a couple of items, which, had we informed them, could have been arranged. He also repeatedly insisted that the issues we faced during our stay were minor and that he had never encountered any problems in the past 20 years. I strongly believe that Mr. Shekhawat urgently needs a crash course in modern hospitality standards and customer service management. Additionally, the staff requires proper training on operational procedures and a better understanding of their roles and responsibilities. I urge the ***

We had the pleasure of staying at Kavish Gir Lion Resort on the 16th and 17th of December, and it was an unforgettable experience. This hidden gem, situated ***** the peaceful riverbanks, is a slice of paradise that’s hard to find through a regular Google search. We stayed in a spacious Pool View Villa, which was equipped with all modern amenities. The villa offered incredible comfort and luxury, perfectly blending with the natural surroundings. The resort features a big, clean pool with a stunning view of the river—truly the highlight of our stay. Adding to the charm, the resort is dotted with lush mango trees, creating a tranquil and refreshing ambiance. It’s the perfect place to disconnect from the chaos of daily life and immerse yourself in nature. The hospitality here is unmatched. Kailashji, the manager, was incredibly welcoming and ensured our every need was met. The support staff was equally attentive, making our stay even more enjoyable. If you’re planning a visit to Sasangir, I highly recommend Kavish Gir Lion Resort for its peaceful atmosphere, excellent facilities, and exceptional service. It’s a true hidden treasure!

The resort was nice. I had booked a room assuming it was river facing but instead got one atop the restaurent with no view. the room was big though the washroom was crowded. the food was average. the campus was good and well laid out. the river facing cottages as well as pool villas were really looking good for a longer stay. My only disappointment was that since we had booked two safaris to GIR national park with an interval of 3 hrs in between so had requested for a late check out so that we could come and rest in between before the second safri. But they refused saying they were sold out though as went for a walk it was evident that it was 90 percent unaccoupied. So showing this much of courtesy and hospitality towards the travellers and that too senior citizens would have been actually true hospitality. When a resort is crowded I can understand their stand but when you many many rooms available this request could hve been adjusted I think.

I was here for 3 nights, I must tell you that we had an excellent experience at the hotel. The General Manager, Mr Kailash took really good care of us. He e had a fabulous time. Food was par excellence. Thank you so much Kailashji.. The hotel is located in a peaceful and serene experience

Very well maintained property, rooms were spacious and clean. We stayed here for one night, which was peaceful and would highly recommend stay at Kavish The Gir Lion resort. Highlight of the stay was the tribal dance organised by hotel management post dinner.
