Staying at Poetree Sarovar Portico was an incredible experience, immersed in nature with breathtaking views and exceptional service. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable, and I was in awe of the peaceful environment and the stunning infinity pool. However, I think the dining options could be improved by adding more vegetarian dishes to cater to diverse tastes.
