    Really good golf coach Johnson, spacious garden view rooms, large sprawling hotel

    No cash machine on-site!!! Having to hunt for working ATMs wasted precious holiday time!!! Check-in felt self-service, took ages for luggage retrieval!!! Poolside facilities needed improvement, with inadequate service and options!!!

    Clean rooms with a mini-fridge-bar and a coffee machine, soft beds. Absolutely superb and excellent options for breakfast with a big variety-the croissants were flaky & perfect, waffles and local dishes. Location just next door to surrounding areas, the main bar restaurant and greenery...

    The restaurant was exclusive for lunch, we ordered excellent dishes. The location in an excellent area was stunning. Benaulim Beach district was worth visiting.

    beautiful grounds
    limited in-room dining variety

    The beach and the facilities were amazing, but the

    In-room dining options could use more variety, especially for vegetarians. The staff were hospitable was good, but the lack of options for meals was a bit disappointing.

    lovely view
    perfect housekeeping
    beach disappointment
    room allocation delay
    location discrepancy

    The premium sea view room delivered a lovely view and spacious comfort, complemented by perfect housekeeping. The late monsoon weather provided a unique Goa experience, upgraded with the lush greenery and long walking trails. Although the beach area was a letdown, the staff's dedication stood out-especially Aishwarya and Truna at reception, who went the extra mile to assist me, and Frenny from the spa, who provided an really good treatment.

    The breakfast left nothing to be desired. Freshly squeezed juices, omelets and pancakes. Hot dishes and fresh fruit. Perfect and friendly service

    The last few days no more buffet, just a la card dinner

    This is without a doubt an excellent hotel, and that's fine. The rooms are not cheap to say the least. Please note: the rooms in the main building have been beautifully renovated, but those in the bungalows have not been yet. That makes a difference to the comfort offered. The staff is very good and service-oriented. All ingredients for a top holiday are present.

    The prices of foreign wines are absurd, 10 euros for a glass of European supermarket wine, that costs 5 euros per bottle in NL.

    fun activities
    beach access
    spacious room
    shaded seating area

    The kids had a blast at the Children's Activity Centre, with plenty of fun activities to keep them occupied. Our room was spacious, and the beach access was superb, allowing our pets to enjoy the sun and surf with us.

    In my kids' opinion, extra shaded seating areas around the pool would have made it more comfy for families.

    Enjoyed my truly memorable stay for ideal holidays. The location was super, near the beach during evening hours, and the bed soft. Besides, it was just next door to Varca, restaurant or even in house amenities, and Taj Exotica.

    the place has a wonderful staff, good facilites and i have been staying here since 1998. it has maintained its reputation , but all the rooms need to be updated now and also the spa needs far better facilities.

    the italian speciality restaurant is very over priced and the food is not upto the price standards

    helpful staff

    This place suits me perfectly, offering really good amenities like outdoor swimming pools, 24-hour reception, and beach access. On my first stay, the staff even helped me with a local food delivery number. Highly recommend it!

    It is certainly one of the best hotels - very comfortable, staff is excellent, restourants propose a very delicious dishes. It is situated in a relatively big and beautiful park with a view to the sea.
