Nice Club-style hotel with beautiful small houses where the guestes may find their rooms. Due to the large area, even if the Hotel is full, you do not feel "packed". Nice to be directly on the beach.

Gurkiran K. Families - 3/30/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Great facilities within the property for an enjoyable family vacation. The beauty and calmness of South Goa beaches is the perfect break from routine city life. Also the staff are all very friendly and knowledgeable. Special note of appreciation for Ms Ruby at the front desk
