One of the best resorts I’ve stayed at in Goa. I’ve been to Goa multiple times, but this resort truly gives you a feeling of home. The staff welcomes you in a traditional way, making you feel like you’re returning home after a long time. Everyone is incredibly friendly and helpful. The arrival experience was wonderful—from check-in to entering the rooms, everything was smooth. The rooms are very well-maintained and spotless. The food is amazing, and I will definitely be visiting this resort again. It has become my favorite destination in Goa!

A little quieter would be perfect

Second visit here and the main thing to note is how welcoming all of the staff are, whatever their role. They are very keen to help, keep you informed and ensure everything is fine. Special mention to Jagdish, Kartik, Ravenna (?), ibrahim and the young lady at Mamma Mia whose name now escapes me. And to Gita. Also to all the gardening and pool staff, who do such a great job keeping everything neat and tidy. The grounds are lovely and the rooms are fine, with a layout that ensures a good level of privacy. The buffet in the main restaurant was consistently good and varied (we stayed three weeks) and Mamma Mia provided a good alternative. The other speciality restaurant needs reconceiving though, as it misses the mark on every level. Maybe fish and kebabs would work better? November is wedding season and there are 2-3 a week that are big events - and often very noisy. Management should try much harder to limit the noise from events held on the Mobor lawn by the pool - most of the ceremonies held there were fine and very interesting, but a couple were far too noisy and that was a real shame! Down on the beach, there are half a dozen shacks very close by and double that number a short walk away. And, being in centre of Cavelossim, there are plenty of shops and stalls close by, with several bars and restaurants - though there are two bars on site, which are excellent.

Great resort for couples and family

Our second visit to this hotel, hotel is in a great location with a lovely swimming pool and bar and also a quiet pool. The food is really good, maily Indian which is the reason for going along with the fabulous weather. The staff are excellent, friendly and welcoming. The beach area is dotted with local bars and restaurants and not really associated with the hotel. Although almost everything was idillic, be aware that November is wedding season, not a problem if you dont mind not being able to hear yourself think or talk to your wife. Unfortunately although its a great spectacle and the Indian people being so nice the music is literally deafening, and can go on for hours
