Sterling Holidays Resorts Complaints & Reviews

I am a member of Sterling Resorts and I stayed in their Fern Hill, Ooty resorts for the last 3 days with my family. In this stay, I experienced different types of hospitality that made some bad patches in my heart. The reception staff Mr. Ajith and Mr. Praveen showed me a stingy attitude and didn't even be respectful. They are not even able to hand over my id cards and phone properly. Front office manager lady showed some disrespectful activities by ignoring me as a customer and didn't even consider my concern. Also they were not kind enough to give me a laundry bag by saying stock not available. When I elevated the issue to the resort manager, the bags came immediately. Their marketing team is asking for upgradation and I doubt is this the real face of the company? What to do?

We went for a vacation to the Sterling resort at Kodaikanal, where their marketing managers brainwashed with all false promises and sugar coated lies. They were rushing up to do the payment for the membership and didn’t give us time to think. We immediately swiped 1 lakh there in their resort. The marketing managers were forcing on paying ~1.6 lakhs there but fortunately, I didn't have limit on my credit card. Later, We also paid one of...

I canceled my booking NMWCOR[protected]. There are no cancellation charges as mentioned in the package. It's been 5 days and still, I am following up for a full refund of INR 15599. I tried reaching them over the phone call but no one is picking it up (Ph: [protected]). I send them multiple emails but they are not responding to emails as well.

We made a reservation at Sterling Arunai Anantha resort for stay from December 9 - December 11 (2022). We cancelled this reservation on October 30. We got a cancellation email the same day.
Till now we haven’t received a refund and we are unable to contact anyone from Sterling team. We enquirer about the refund via email and no response to the email. They promised to respond to the email within a day and even after 4 days there is no response.This is so annoying.

I’m not sure if this is a legit company.

I'm writing this based on my 1 year experience of Sterling membership.
Being a member I have tried booking the Sterling resorts couple of times and every time it's rejected saying room are not available. However, I can book the same room on same dates from any aggregator like MMT.

Then what's point of membership ?

They have tricky polices also to defend it, like only 60-70% rooms are reserved for members...

I am persistently asked to pay aac charges through sms and emails. This is in complete contravention to the agreement clause 5.3 & 5.4 wherein it clearly states that the charges are to be paid for utilising amenities, electricity and water while enjoying the benefits of the holiday units.
I was conned into paying these charges in october 2021 for an amount of rs.3583=00.

Made a reservation on 10th September 2022 at Sterling Kodai Lake for the date 17/09/2022 to 18/09/2022(1 night) . Within sometime got to know I cannot travel on that date so cancelled my reservation immediately within an hour. It is clearly mentioned in the cancellation policy that cancellation made upto 48 hours prior to the checkin date can get full refund. This cancellation was done within matter of hours. Also, while cancelling it showed I am eligible for full refund but in the booking cancelled confirmation mail I don’t see when I can expect the refund. Requesting you to update me on when I can expect the refund

After paying for almost for a year I get to know that they have a membership fee also which i have to pay every year apart from my contribution.

How can a terms and conditions are there where I cannot got any money back as I never availed any service. they actually misell the product to me. Kindly help me to get back my money
