Pride Biznotel Sasan Gir: India's BEST Safari Luxury? Unbelievable!

Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving HEADFIRST into the jungle… or rather, the luxury safari lodge that claims to be India's BEST: Pride Biznotel Sasan Gir. And lemme tell you, after this deep dive, you'll know if the crown fits. Prepare yourself for a review that's less "sterile travel blog" and more "honest, slightly-caffeinated rant."

Pride Biznotel Sasan Gir: Is it REALLY India's BEST Safari Luxury? Unbelievable! (Let's Find Out!)

Right, so the hype. Oh, the hype. "Luxury." "Safari." "Unbelievable!" Okay, Pride Biznotel, you've set the bar HIGH. Let's see if you can jump it AND stick the landing.

First Impression: Arrival & Accessibility (or, the "Getting There is Half the Battle" Saga)

So, after a long journey (and let's be honest, the roads getting to Sasan Gir are… an experience), arriving at the Pride Biznotel is… promising. The lobby is impressive – think "modern meets a touch of rustic charm." Check-in? Smooth. They're definitely on top of the Contactless check-in/out thing, which, in the age of perpetual hand-sanitizing, is a huge plus.

Accessibility gets a mixed bag. They say they have Facilities for disabled guests and an Elevator, which is great, but I didn't see a super detailed breakdown of how accessible specific rooms or features really are. More info would be super helpful for those who need it.

Rooms: The Sanctuary Within (or, Did I Get the Room Upgrade I Asked For?)

Okay, the rooms. This is where the "luxury" promise really needs to deliver. And, well… my room? Pretty darn good. Air conditioning worked like a champ (vital in the Gir heat!), and I loved having Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!. Being able to stream my shows after a long day of safaris and still be connected was a huge plus! Additional toilet was a pleasant surprise. Private bathroom, of course, with a separate shower/bathtub. The blackout curtains were a lifesaver for sleeping in, and the complimentary tea/coffee maker was a nice touch. In-room safe box and, hey, a refrigerator! Did I get a room upgrade? Oh yes, and it was worth it.

Now, the tiny annoyances: the "luxury" wasn’t quite as OTT as the photos implied – slightly faded, or maybe the lighting was just extra-flattering. The mirror was placed in an odd spot, but these are minor quibbles.

Sleep Quality: Soundproofing Saves the Day! (Or, "Finally, Silence")

The room's Soundproofing was fantastic. This is HUGE, as you want to be able to get the much-needed shut-eye before a day of safari adventures. I could actually hear my thoughts. Bliss.

Dining, Drinking & Snacking: A Culinary Expedition (or, Feed Me, Please!)

Alright, fuel up time! The Pride Biznotel has the goods, at least on paper. Restaurants are a given, and the bar is a welcome oasis after a dusty safari. You have a Breakfast [buffet], which is always fun. A la carte in restaurant, also present. International cuisine in restaurant and, of course, Asian cuisine in restaurant, which is perfect, you're in India! The Coffee/tea in restaurant was good, and the Poolside bar was perfect, especially in the hot weather.

And the service? They're definitely trying. The staff are genuinely friendly and helpful.

Things to Do & Ways to Relax: The Wilderness Within Reach (or, Spa Day, Anyone?)

Okay, this is where Pride Biznotel REALLY shines. They're clearly aiming for the full-on "pamper and adventure" experience.

Swimming pool [outdoor]: Glorious. The pool with view is a highlight, absolutely.
Sauna, steamroom, and Spa: They've got them. And massages, the works!
Fitness center: If you’re one of those fitness fanatics, then you're set.
Body scrub, Body wrap: Treat yourself!

I was on the fence about the Fitness center. Honestly, after the safari, I was more in the mood for a nap than a workout. But the option is there, which is cool.

Cleanliness & Safety: The "Safe" Zone (or, Are We Disinfecting Enough?)

Hand sanitizer everywhere. A must.
Rooms sanitized between stays - good to know.
Daily disinfection in common areas, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Air conditioning in public area - all ticked off.
Staff trained in safety protocol – essential.
Breakfast takeaway service: Nice touch.
Doctor/nurse on call, First aid kit: Peace of mind.
CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property, Fire extinguisher, Smoke alarms, Safety/security feature, Security [24-hour] all present – feeling secure!

Services & Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter (or, Do They Think of Everything?)

Concierge, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Laundry service, Luggage storage: Top-notch.
Cash withdrawal, Currency exchange: Convenient.
Gift/souvenir shop: Always dangerous for my wallet!
Car park [free of charge]: Score!
Meeting/banquet facilities, Meetings: Good for business travelers.

For the Kids: Family Fun? (or, Will the Little Ones Be Bored?)

They do boast Babysitting service and Kids facilities, which is good for families.

Getting Around:

Airport transfer is a huge plus.
Car park [free of charge]: Great.
Taxi service: Available.

Internet Access: Stay Connected (or, Pray to the Wi-Fi Gods)

The Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! is a HUGE win. Speeds were decent enough to stream, and that's all that matters. Internet and Internet [LAN] are there if you need them.

The Verdict: Is Pride Biznotel Sasan Gir REALLY India's BEST Safari Luxury?

Okay, the million-dollar question. Is it "Unbelievable"? Not quite. Is it fantastic? Absolutely.

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't just an itinerary; it's a vibe. We're going to Gir, we're gonna see lions, we're gonna probably get lost, and we're definitely gonna have some stories to tell. This is… my attempt at a Pride Biznotel Sasan Gir escape plan (wish me luck!).

Day 1: Arrival, Anticipation, and the Battle of the Buffet

Morning (Because mornings are a myth, but let's pretend): Arrive at Rajkot Airport (or a suitable airport, reality is flexible with these things) feeling slightly more like a crumpled piece of paper than a seasoned traveler. Pre-booked car transfer to Pride Biznotel. Check-in. Take deep breaths. This is it. This is the heart of Gir. I hope.
Late Morning/Early Afternoon: Holy moly, this place is… well, it's a hotel. A pretty nice hotel, if I’m being honest. Room check: good view, comfortable bed… crucial for the nap later. The pool looks inviting, but the heat is already a sneaky tyrant, so I'm gonna leave that for later.
Lunch: The buffet. Oh, the buffet. This is where the true adventure begins. I approach with cautious optimism. This is a battle for survival, a culinary gauntlet. Gotta get the lay of the land, spot the hidden gems (crispy pakoras, please!), and maybe, just maybe, avoid the dreaded "mystery meat." Okay, strategy engaged… let's do this! [Anecdote: I swear, I saw a guy take, like, six helpings of dal. Respect.]
Afternoon: Resist the urge to become one with the bed. Pool time! Or, if I'm feeling particularly ambitious (and let's be real, the humidity is already making me question my life choices), a little wander around the grounds. See if I can spot a peacock. Or a deer. Or anything that isn't a mosquito.
Evening: Dinner. (See Buffet Battle, Round 2). Hopefully, I'm starting to get the hang of the local cuisine. Maybe some Gujarat specialties? Fingers crossed. Also, early night. Lion Safari tomorrow! Gotta be rested for… you know… lions. [Quirky Observation: I noticed a family who brought their own Tupperware containers to the buffet. Now THAT is pro-level buffeting.]

Day 2: Lions, Oh My! And Other Gir Goodness

Morning (Actually, I think this one is gonna be early. Ugh.): WAKE UP. Time for the Lion Safari! Prepare the camera, my trusty companion! (battery is fully charged, fingers crossed!) I'm giddy with anticipation. The chance to see a majestic lion up close… who could resist?
Lion Safari: [Emotion: OMG. Just OMG.] Okay, so seeing a lion in its natural habitat is like… well, it’s a life-changing kind of experience. The sheer power, the stealth, the roar… My heart was in my throat the entire time. We saw two lions. Lying. Sleeping. Majestic. Worth every rupee and every second of the pre-dawn wake-up call. [Rambling: The guide, Bless his heart, tried to spot them, the jeep was bouncing around, and I swear my stomach was doing backflips. But the lions! They were amazing, The whole experience left me speechless.]
Late morning/Early Afternoon: Post-safari debrief over a chai and maybe a snack by the hotel pool. Discuss lion sightings with fellow travelers. I may or may not have embellished my lion encounter to make it seem even more epic.
Afternoon: After a lazy lunch, I'm going to have a relaxing session. It helps me get back to myself after a few travel days. Do a little reading, and journal; reflecting on the lion encounter, what I've seen and felt so far.
Evening: Dinner. Farewell feast? Possibly, depending on how the buffet is acting. Maybe try the local delicacies. Or maybe I'll just stick to the dal. No judgement.
Optional: Star gazing. The air is clear here, and away from the city's light pollution, and the sky must be a sight to behold. A perfect end to a perfect day.

Day 3: Farewell (Tears? Maybe.) and Departure

Morning: Another attempt at breakfast. (Buffet Fatigue is real, people.) Last opportunity to soak in the pool, and the view. Check out time. Bidding a fond farewell to the staff, who have been super helpful and friendly.
Late Morning/Early Afternoon: Pre-booked car transfer back to Rajkot Airport. Reflect on the trip. All the things I've seen, and all the moments that have filled my heart. A little bit of sadness when I start to think about leaving.
Afternoon: Fly out.
Post-Trip: Get back home, and have pictures printed to reminisce all the things I've seen.

Messy Thoughts and Utterly Honest Feelings:

The Food: The buffet is a beast. But hey, it's food. You get used to it. Maybe.
The Wildlife: Unforgettable. Absolutely worth the trip. Go. See the lions. Do.
The Hotel: Comfortable, clean, and with a pool that, despite not being used as much as I thought, was still a very welcome sight.
Overall: This trip was a much-needed escape. I came, I saw, I (hopefully) conquered the buffet, and I encountered a lion. What more could a girl ask for?

This is just my version, of course. Your Gir adventure will be its own unique story. Embrace the chaos, the unexpected, and the overwhelming beauty of the place. And for the love of all that is holy, pack some mosquito repellent!

Pride Biznotel Sasan Gir: India's BEST Safari Luxury? OMG! (And Other Questions I Had)

So, is this place REALLY "India's BEST Safari Luxury"? 'Cause, you know… marketing.

Okay, look, "BEST" is a HUGE claim, right? I went in with my expectations somewhere around "decent" and maybe a touch of "slightly overpriced." Honestly? They *mostly* delivered. The tents? Ridiculously plush. Think, like, glamping on steroids. They weren't kidding! The air con was a lifesaver. But "BEST"? Probably depends on your definition. If "BEST" means, "Did they provide a sanctuary, an experience that was pure, unadultrated, luxurious bliss, which was the aim?" Then mostly YES. They didn't have a Michelin-star chef in every corner, I didn't see any actual lions playing croquet, but the amenities were pretty solid and definitely met the expectations. Definitely a contender, though.

What's the deal with the "luxury" part? Is it just fancy tents?

It’s not JUST tents, thank goodness. Yeah, the tents – HUGE. Seriously, the bathroom was bigger than my first apartment! But the "luxury" extended beyond the immediate tent comforts. Think, multiple safari trips, the pool (which was glorious after a dusty jeep ride), the included meals (very good, buffet-style!), and the general feeling of being pampered. Staff were *mostly* attentive. There was one time I asked for my laundry back, and it took a day, but the place was so grand, and it was forgotten. The little things added up, and frankly, after a long day of lion spotting... it was *exactly* what I needed. They got the memo.

The Safari... spill the tea. Did you see the lions?! And what was it REALLY like?

Okay, let's get to the GOOD STUFF. Yes! YES! I SAW LIONS! Multiple times! I'm getting goosebumps JUST thinking about it. The first sighting... oh man. The guide pointed, and there they were: a majestic male and a couple of lionesses, just chilling in the sun. It was pure magic. Seriously. I nearly cried. (Don't judge me!) The subsequent safaris were amazing too, but nothing will ever quite match that first encounter. The safari drives themselves are, let's be real, bumpy. Prepare for some serious dust and, let's face it, potential for a sore back. But totally worth it. Totally. We also saw some deer (lots of them!), monkeys, vultures, and a sneaky jackal. Oh! And that *smell* of the jungle... it’s just *different* in the evening... like, earthy and wild and... I can't quite explain it! It'll stick with you.

Is there a pool? Because, HEAT.

YES! Thank GOD, yes. The pool was a godsend after those dusty safaris. It's well-maintained, and surprisingly refreshing. After a bumpy ride and sun blazing from above, it was heaven! I practically lived in it. It's not Olympic-sized or anything, but it's perfect for a cool-down and a bit of relaxation. Sipping a cocktail poolside = peak luxury life. Don't expect crazy pool parties but expect to be happy.

What about the food? Was it all bland "hotel food"? Or...

It was buffet-style, which, let's be honest, can be a gamble. But the food at Biznotel was actually pretty good! They offered a good variety of dishes, a solid mix of Indian cuisine and some Western options for the picky eaters (like me!). The chefs were happy to help, and the food was fresh. Some of the local dishes were incredible. I went back for seconds (and thirds) of one particular lentil dish… I'm still dreaming about it! The pastries? Eh, maybe not the best. But overall, not bad at all. Certainly not the highlight, but definitely not something to complain about either. Honestly, after a long day of safari-ing, anything tastes good.

Okay, be honest. What was the worst thing?

Hmmm... Tough one. It’s hard to stay mad at a place that delivered SO much. Okay, maybe the early wake-up calls for the safari? 5:30 AM is brutal when you're on vacation! But, you know, gotta do what you gotta do to see the lions. And the prices are maybe a TOUCH higher than they ought to be? But you're paying for the whole experience, not just the room. Maybe the communication before arrival could've been a bit clearer. Minor stuff, though. Nothing that ruined the trip. Honestly? I'm struggling to find genuine complaints. I guess the internet was a little spotty, which, in the grand scheme of things, is a *good* thing. Disconnect. It's part of the experience, isn't it?

Would you go back?

ABSOLUTELY. Without a doubt. I'm already scheming my return. The whole experience just... *stayed* with me, especially after an amazing safari! The combination of the luxury, the incredible wildlife, and the general feeling of being pampered… it was all just… YES. If you are looking for a place to blow your expectations away, then I can't recommend it enough. Just go. Seriously. Go now! You won’t regret it. (And if you do, blame yourself, not me!)

Any tips for first-timers?

Pack light-colored, breathable clothing for the safaris! It gets HOT. Bring sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses – you'll thank me later. A good camera is essential, but honestly, just being present and taking it all in is just as important. Don't be afraid to ask the staff for anything – they're there to help. Tip the staff well – they work hard and deserve it. And most importantly… be patient. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed! But if that first lion sighting hit, you'll remember that experience, forever. Oh, and charge ALL your devices before you go. Just a thought.

Is it kid-friendly?

Yeah, mostly. They definitely cater to families. But it might depend on your kids. The jeeps, the safaris themselves, can be a bumpy ride, and sitting still for that long may be challenging. If your kids are the adventurous type, then absolutely! If they're the glued-to-their-tablets type,Stay Scouter
