Novotel Goa Dona Sylvia Resort 5 stars

We had a lovely vacation at this wonderful property. Stayed for almost 12 days. It's a beautiful place with lots of greener and a clean white beach. Staff service was Excellent. Met Mr. Dhananjay mostly during breakfast while he was taking his rounds and always inquired with us if everything is ok . He also did threat us to a Sunday Brunch. Had the opportunity to also meet Mr. Dennis D'costa couple of times. Breakfast spread was great and staff very courteous and diligent in their work. Not to forget the housekeeping staff were always there to clean the room in the morning or if you required anything like water bottles, tissues..etc..etc..One name I would like to mention is of Mr. Vivesh ( Housekeeping) who during our entire stay was very helpful and kept our room clean. He was very courteous & dedicated in his work. Over all a great stay wherein my girls loved the place …yes…. We will be back.

Pros: - Private beach - Very well maintained property - Good option in breakfast - Clean room Could be better: - The beach is extremely lonely, hardly any one goes post 8pm. - No good restaurants around, except few - No communication, if you don't hire a car - Rush during breakfast

Property is excellently maintained. Super clean premises and beach. Breakfast was excellent with lots of verities. I stayed there with family for 4 days and we enjoyed every minute of the stay. Staff is well trained and helpful.

Nice hotel spread on large area with huge swimming pool and large lawn area. We stayed in Executive Villa Room type in Frangipani series. It was near the Pool area. each villa has varanda / Balcony depending whether its on ground or first floor. Room was adequate in size. Hotel has direct beach access on the back side. Beach seemed to be clean there. we had taken breakfast only plan hence didn't experienced major food here. (Just for info. that there is very nice restaurant outside this hotel with 3-4 mins walkable distance with live orchestra and drinks and nice food .. Mikes Place.) Breakfast was huge with lots of bakery, fruits, live counters for Dosas, pancakes and eggs. Overall good experience.

Prime beach location with a huge, secure property and plenty of activities to keep the kids happily occupied. Rooms were spacious and comfortably equipped, staff were warm and accommodating and the bustling Cavelossim village is just outside. We'll be back again for sure!
