Dear Mr. M., Warm greetings from Novotel Goa Resort & Spa. Please accept our sincere apologies for the disappointing experience you and your colleagues encountered during your corporate stay. We deeply regret the prolonged wait for room allocation, the missing in-room amenities, the inconvenience caused by the non-functional telephone and television, and the subsequent lapses in housekeeping. We understand how frustrating this must have been, particularly when travelling as a corporate group and having a busy schedule. This is certainly not the standard of hospitality we strive to deliver, and we sincerely regret that we fell short of your expectations at several touchpoints during your stay. Your feedback has been taken seriously and shared with the respective department heads for review and necessary corrective action. We truly value your feedback, as it helps us identify areas where we need to improve and ensure a more seamless experience for our guests.

We had a fantastic family stay at Novotel Goa Resort & Spa and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. A special thanks to the entire team for their warm and supportive service. I would particularly like to appreciate Glen and Toli Nekha and Nathan (if i don't forgot the name) for their support and hospitality, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The food was awesome, the rooms were clean and comfortable, the swimming pool was well maintained and clean, and the jacuzzi was excellent. The hotel’s facilities and overall hospitality made our family holiday truly memorable. As an ALL Accor Gold member and ALL Accor Plus Explorer member, I had emailed the hotel before our arrival with a polite request for a room upgrade, as we were travelling with our children and celebrating our daughter’s birthday. Fortunately, a suitable room was available, and the team kindly upgraded us to an Elegance Suite. They also arranged a lovely birthday surprise with balloons and a cake in our room. This thoughtful gesture made the celebration extra special. I understand that upgrades depend on room availability and applicable membership benefits, and I sincerely appreciate the hotel accommodating my request. Another great advantage was being able to redeem ALL Accor points towards both our stay and food expenses. As an Explorer member, I also enjoyed the 30% dining discount, which added excellent value to our experience. Our children especially loved the swimming pool and Kids Explore play area, giving us plenty of opportunities to relax and enjoy quality family time. Overall, we had an excellent experience, with delicious food, clean facilities, supportive staff and thoughtful hospitality. Thank you to the entire team at Novotel Goa Resort & Spa, especially Glen, Toli Nekha, for helping make our family holiday and our daughter’s birthday so memorable. We would happily recommend this hotel to families visiting Goa and look forward to staying here again!

From the beginning things were not in place. Made to wait from 12noon onwards to get a room at 5PM in the evening, even though the official check-in was 3PM. The longest I have had to wait ever. Even after getting a room the essentials were missing in the room and I had to call for things but wait how do I call, the intercom wasn't functional. So, I had to call the hotel line from my phone and then reach out to the staff which also meant I had to wait another 30mins before anyone showed up. By the way, the TV was also not working and I had raise the same with the staff. All this went up until late in the night. The next day after cleaning the towels weren't provided and everything was taken away. All this when we were constantly going out as it was an office offsite with 17 members who made a booking as a corporate event. In whatever time we were in the hotel, it was not worth it. Wont book Novotel ever either in individual capacity or for office offsites.

Amith R. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

We stayed at Novotel Goa for a 4-day family staycation, and unfortunately, the overall experience was disappointing, especially considering the price we paid and the standards we expected from an Accor property. What We Liked The valet parking team deserves special appreciation. They were welcoming, courteous, and consistently helpful whenever we needed assistance with our vehicle. Their service was one of the few highlights of our stay. Areas That Need Serious Improvement 1. Poor Handling of Room Upgrade Requests We had booked our room in advance through MakeMyTrip at ₹14,300 per night for the basic room category. However, during check-in, we discovered that the prevailing rate for a premium room was approximately ₹12,500 plus taxes per night. We were willing to pay a reasonable additional amount to upgrade, but the receptionist simply quoted an additional ₹4,000 per night without showing any interest in exploring alternatives or checking with a supervisor for a more reasonable offer. Given that we had already paid a higher rate for the basic room than the prevailing rate of the premium room, we expected a more customer-friendly approach. The lack of flexibility and willingness to help left us disappointed right at check-in. 2. Inadequate Children’s Play Area and Poor Natural Lighting We travelled with our young son for a family staycation. Since we visit Goa once or twice a year for this purpose, child-friendly facilities are an important consideration for us. Unfortunately, the children’s play area was underwhelming, with no natural light. There are less Toddler activities and the space is very dark and less engaging. The lady who works there smokes and often used to go for smoke breaks and she had kept the cigarette packet near the table which is near entrance and children can see it. My son was checking it thinking it’s some kind of toy. The same concern applies to the lower-ground-floor facilities, including the gym and spa, which also lack natural light. These spaces felt less inviting than we would expect from a resort-style hotel. 3. Extremely Slow Service for Even Simple Food Requests The food service was another major disappointment. Even a simple request for a plain salad with onions, tomatoes, and similar items took around 15–20 minutes to arrive. On several occasions, the delay was so long that we were nearly finished with our meal by the time the additional items arrived. This was not an isolated incident; we experienced similar delays throughout our four-day stay. Such inefficiency significantly affects the dining experience. 4. Inconvenient Access from the Swimming Pool to the Rooms Construction work during our stay meant that the direct access from the swimming pool to the room elevators was unavailable. Every time we used the pool, we had to walk through the restaurant or reception area to return to our room. This was particularly inconvenient when travelling with a young child. While construction may sometimes be unavoidable, better planning, clear communication, and convenient alternative access should have been provided. 5. A Disappointing First Experience with Novotel as an Accor Member We are Accor members and specifically wanted to experience Novotel before considering it for our future family holidays. Our intention was to explore the brand and make more bookings at Accor properties in the future. Unfortunately, this experience has seriously affected our confidence in Novotel. From the inflexible handling of our room upgrade request to slow dining service and inconvenient facilities, several aspects of the stay fell short of expectations. Overall Verdict The courteous valet team was a positive highlight, but the overall experience did not justify the price we paid. The concerns were not limited to one isolated incident; they involved room-upgrade handling, dining service, family facilities, and accessibility during construction. We chose Novotel with the expectation of a comfortable, family-friendly stay backed by Accor’s hospitality standards. Unfortunately, the experience has left us reluctant to consider Novotel properties for future family holidays. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and addresses these issues, particularly staff responsiveness, restaurant service efficiency, children’s facilities, and guest convenience during ongoing construction.

Dear Guest, Warm greetings from Novotel Goa Resort & Spa. Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback following your family’s recent stay with us. Please accept our sincere apologies that your experience fell short of your expectations, particularly as an Accor member who chose Novotel with the hope of discovering a brand you could consider for future family holidays. We understand your disappointment and regret that several aspects of your stay did not reflect the level of hospitality and comfort you rightly anticipated. While the resort is currently undergoing renovation works to enhance our guest rooms and facilities, we acknowledge the inconvenience caused by restricted access and understand the importance of ensuring a comfortable and seamless experience for families. Your observations regarding the room upgrade process, restaurant service, and children’s facilities are equally concerning and will be shared with the respective teams for careful review and appropriate follow-up. We are pleased that our valet team made a positive impression and will ensure their efforts are recognised. At the same time, we regret that the positive interactions did not extend consistently across your overall experience. Your feedback is invaluable, and we assure you that your concerns are being taken seriously. We sincerely regret having fallen short of your expectations and the impact this has had on your confidence in our brand. We hope you will allow us the opportunity to restore your trust in Novotel Goa Resort & Spa and provide you and your family with the welcoming and memorable experience you had initially anticipated. Warm Regards, Amit Sangwan Cluster General Manager

Overall, Novotel Goa is a good resort for a relaxing stay. The location is excellent, offering a calm and peaceful environment away from the hustle and bustle, making it ideal for a holiday. The check-in process was smooth and efficient, and Puja was very helpful in ensuring a hassle-free arrival experience. The welcome drink options were a nice touch and helped create a positive first impression. The room was spacious, well-maintained, and equipped with excellent amenities. The quality of the products provided in the room was noticeably good and added to the overall comfort of the stay. There was a minor issue with the TV connectivity, and the Wi-Fi took some time to get working. While both issues were eventually resolved, it would have been better if these had been checked and addressed before guest check-in. The staff throughout the property were courteous, professional, and always willing to help, which was greatly appreciated. The breakfast spread offered a good variety of options, but while the selection was impressive, the taste was average and did not quite match the standard expected. It felt like something was missing in terms of flavor and overall dining experience. The check-out process was efficient, quick, and courteous, providing a smooth end to the stay. Overall, a comfortable and enjoyable stay with excellent rooms, a peaceful location, and friendly service. With some improvement in food quality and pre-check-in room checks, the experience could be even better.

Dear Guest, Warm greetings from Novotel Goa Resort & Spa! Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback regarding your recent stay with us. We are pleased to know that you enjoyed the peaceful surroundings, comfortable accommodation, and warm hospitality extended by our team. It is especially encouraging to learn that Puja made your arrival experience smooth and welcoming. Your kind appreciation will be shared with her as a valued recognition of her efforts. At the same time, we sincerely appreciate your constructive observations regarding the television connectivity, Wi-Fi access, and breakfast experience. We regret the inconvenience caused by the technical issues encountered in your room and understand the importance of ensuring that all amenities are fully functional before our guests arrive. Your feedback regarding the breakfast offerings is equally valuable and will be shared with our culinary team for review as we continually strive to enhance the quality of our dining experience. Thank you once again for your thoughtful feedback and for acknowledging the efforts of our team. Your observations are instrumental in helping us identify opportunities for improvement and deliver a more seamless and satisfying experience for our guests. We look forward to welcoming you back to Novotel Goa Resort & Spa and providing you with an even more enjoyable stay on your next visit. Warm regards, Amit Sangwan Cluster General Manager

The resort is located in a very convenient yet not so busy locality near Candolim beach. Although the resort is being partly renovated, but the staff made every effort to ensure there is no inconvenience due to this. The swimming pool was awesome and the kids loved it. Food was excellent and we were looked after well at the restaurant by Vinod, Nisha and Sakshi. Overall a very memorable vacation for the entire family.

Lynne B. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

Ours was a stay of two halves. The location was perfect.. easy to walk around Candolim from there to explore the many bars and restaurants. The customer service was outstanding. We were made to feel very special and very welcome by all members of staff regardless of status from housekeeping, pool attendants, restaurant staff, reception, spa and management.. everyone went out of their way to ensure we are were looked after during our stay. Dining was excellent and spa treatment was wonderful. However, our stay was marred by the extensive construction works and renovations taking place. We became aware of these works just after we had booked our holiday.. by browsing the hotel website. This was not raised by our booking agent and when we asked about this we were assured that our holiday would not be affected. Sadly this was not the case. Approx half of the hotel bedrooms were screened off for upgrading. The grand staircase was closed which meant access to pool area was through the dining area and pool washrooms were closed. The entire rear of the hotel was covered in scaffolding. The main issue was the noise of the works taking place.. drilling, banging, noisy workmen on site from 8am to 8pm.. weekends and public holidays included. Now we don’t tend to spend a lot of time in our rooms when on holiday, but when we do we expect some peace and tranquility and certainly don’t expect to be woken up by drilling! But even by the poolside there was no escape from the noise or latterly the strong paint fumes. Also.. our room location.. first floor immediately adjacent to the lift. Ok we arrived at 3am in the morning, but perhaps a wee bit of consideration could have been given to the fact that we were staying for 14 days, and given us a quieter location away from the constant ding dong of the lift doors opening/ closing for other guests. We did not raise the noise issue with the hotel staff as apart from a relocation to another hotel, there was obviously very little they could have done to rectify the situation since this is obviously quite a major refurbishment taking place, If the hotel group hàd been more open and transparent about this from the outset it might have influenced our choice of accommodation in Goa.

The room was assigned near construction site. The workers were working during the night. The workers access door was kept open near the room entrance. It should be closed. There was a construction barricade kept near room entrance which was dirty with construction materials. Overall first impression was not that good due to construction. Otherwise I would have rated 9. I had to do multiple follow ups for 2 days to change the room. Then I got the room changed. The restaurant staffs were good.
