The Sagamore Resort

Last straw - we have been here several times for New Years and this will be the last. Every year it has gotten progressively worse as the price has increased. It honestly feels like they are trying to (1) maximize the bottom line and (2) sell it from Opal. For example, they split the NYE party into 2 sections - 13 and under and 13 and over. While this divides generations and is super inconvenient we had an open mind and went to the under 13 party. Everything was super cheap - they has Costco chex mix and wouldn’t even start the popcorn machine. Also there was a band in the past. Now it was an iPhone- not even a DJ - there was literally a playlist that couldn’t be changed. It was very disheartening. Also we ordered a bunch of pizzas and gave them tons of warning. And it was quite expensive. All the pizzas came extremely undercooked. Very basic stuff. I feel sad to say we were very short changed. Something has really changed here!

Stunning views with impressive amenities. 3 restaurants with the Italian being the best. But a reservation is hard to get on weekend. Thus we had to eat in basement bar. Great staff and good burgers. Overall property is beautiful but most was closed in December. ALERT: This is a family property. Children are everywhere and consume most of the common areas (pool, lobby, restaurant lounges, etc). Be prepared for loud and active environment. We paid for an upgraded lake view (209) and it delivered, But rooms are dated and not worth the $700 per night we paid !

We just spent five relaxing, delightful, days at The Sagamore Resort. We were glad it was going to be a white Christmas in the Adirondacks, the festive decor at this historic resort made it the ideal location to spend the holiday. We stayed in a nice suite in the main inn overlooking panoramic Lake George. We had in room dining for breakfast, Caldwell’s for lunch and the Burger Bar and La Bella Vita for dinner. The service was on point in all areas, especially Christmas dinner ending with tasty pumpkin cheesecake. All staff we interacted with were kind and friendly, especially Joshua in the dining outlets who is a veteran worker bee manager. Christmas Eve the bell team delivered delicious treats and eggnog in mason jars to our suite, first class. You certainly don’t get this special touch at a chain hotel! The walks on the property and along the lake during brisk mornings with smoke rising off the water was like a post card. There was a room full of gingerbread houses which was just the best for the many families like ours spending the holiday with one another. An authentic hot chocolate station was also set-up in the lobby Christmas Eve, making it a memorable evening. We received an extensive activities list upon arrival, something for everyone.

Have just returned from a beautiful weekend. We were here to attend the Operation Santa Claus Gala and everything from start to finish was spectacular. Our room in the lodges was lovely and spacious with a lake view. La Bella Vita was wonderful. I picked up my usual Kentucky Mai Tai at Caldwells after check in, and finally, if you haven't bathed in the outdoor pool in the Adirondacks in December, you haven't lived! Well done, Sagamore. See you in the summer.

I went with my family in July right on the ocean side. My family has been going here every year for as long as I can remember. It has great views and an awesome clubhouse with activities for kids. I also love the 3pm free ice cream and nightly campfires. I was however disappointed by the mediocre room with limited towels and no soap. The restaurants were okay and the cruise around the resort was cool. On the last day we rented out a kayak and it was a blast. Overall I think it is a little overpriced but overall worth it.
