Mercure Goa Devaaya Retreat 4 stars

Very relaxing where you can get away from everything.

A rejuvenating experience with impeccable service,

Positive: 1. Very kind and helpful staff. Special thanks to Mr. SHAILESH, Mr.ANTONIO, Mr.JOE, Mr.LACTOR and all cooks at breakfast. 2. Yoga and Ayurveda - precious bonus. Negative: 1. However, we did not expect the resort is vegetarian and tea/coffee/wine (and alcohol) are strictly forbidden. 2. Although hotel is 18 km from airport as it written on Booking, it took nearly 2 hours to get to the airport by taxi. 3. The receptionist at 8pm on 9th of January was not aware of Accore member club benefits and didn't make proper arrangements. 4. The website and other links of the resort (like Booking) should clearly warn customers on the profile of the Resort and complications of transportation (long narrow road, need to cross river by ferry ect.). So, that those want to do sightseeing mostly wouldn't chose this place to stay. 5. The room 220 was nice and spacious, but very noisy at night because of the sound noise produced by generator in the opposite building. Windows in the closet room should be shattered at night to prevent the bright light from the outside illumination. 6. Be prepared to spend 1-1,5 hours every time at the dinner (by Ala Cart). Didn't expect that those vegetarian dishes are so long to cook. 7. And bring the spray against mosquitos! Could not sleep.

Stay at the Mercure Devaaya property was very refreshing and a positive experience. Though we were there for a brief time but the vibes of the property amongst the lap of nature and the ayuvedic/naturopathy treatments provided there are surely benifitting. This is a hidden jewel of Goa that needs to be explored

Staff were significantly slow in their response and check in took almost 20-30 mins

We have stayed at Devaaya repeatedly. Unique location, beautiful surroundings, everyone is very kind and caring, excellent food, good health care facilities and treatments. My mothers health has benefited from her staying at Devaaya

Lovely grounds and attentive staff. The spa was a fail. The atmosphere is very nice, but the therapists are very young and clearly inexperienced except for 1 or 2. The doctor did not seem to care very much about the treatments and she was hardly there. Moreover, you would be given a very specific diet that indicated, no oils, flours etc and yet they were present in the food you were served.

This time experience was not good due to Mosquitos in room throughout night and unable to sleep well with relaxed body and mind. Headache started since day one which has not stopped due to disturbed sleep. The windows we unable to close properly as after closing also small gap observed and A.C. with cold flow was directly on body.

The hotel is well laid out in a village type setting. Staff, without exception, were polite, friendly and professional. The vegetarian food was varied and delicious. Rooms were well appointed and spotless. Overall, a fantastic peaceful venue.

It was comfortable and made us feel pampered with excellent hospitality and general service. Very co operative staff

It is a very nice location. Being an island very quite and serene. The programme was a good mix of therapy / wellness with some fun. Food although was Veg had lots of variety and was very good. The most impressive of all was the professional approach & Caring staff and service.

The best part of my stay here was the food - so nourishing and subtle and tasty. Also the ambience, the yoga, meditation, pool, therapies etc. I also loved the fact that I could interact daily with my Naturopath; and he took great personal interest in each case.

Incredible. Excellent, unbelievable.

It was a really nice experience staying at your hotel. The staff was really nice and the massage, the yoga and the food was really good...

Great
