Jasminn Hotel South Goa

After being locked down since 6 months and doing everything on our own (like most of the World), decided to make a trip to Goa from Mumbai. As we were apprehensive to fly we waited till Sept once all cross border restrictions were lifted ( ie epass, covid tests etc) and drove down. The drive which usually takes us 13 to 14 hours was under 11 hours. Fast tags were working perfectly and there were no checks or inconveniences enroute at all. We have stayed at this hotel a number of times before so chose it because of its comfort, cleanliness, proximity to our restaurants of choice (ie Martin's, pentagon, fishka etc) and the friendly and flexible service that the hotel provides. Its located a few kms away from the nearest beach but as we have our own vehicle, its not an issue. To our surprise, the room was cleaner and crisper this time round, the entire room was disinfected thoroughly, additional linen and towels were provided in advance so as not to have daily housekeeping in the room (they offer cleaning once in 3 days). The restaurant manager was available on phone and food would be sent to a table kept outside your room whenever needed. We were the only guests in the hotel so social distancing was maintained at another level :) but it was nice to experience contactless/paperless check in, a thermal check and all staff starting from the security were adequately masked and gloved. As we were staying for a longer duration, we took the 1bhk apartment room. All the rooms are well appointed and tastefully done but if you are in a large group or a big family would recommend the apartment block which houses two 1bhk apartments and four 2 bhk apartments. Following govt directives, the swimming pool remains closed until further notice. If you are mobile, okay to stay a little away from the beach amidst lot of greenery and lawns and want a serviced apartment that comes with hotel house keeping and a limited but tasty/customisable breakfast, jasminn is the place to stay.

We booked tickets for March 20 in Aug. 19 itself & got it for very cheap rate. This is my 2nd visit to this property. Last year in May 2019, me & wife had a good time. Now this time around we went with close friends. My friend had booked the property in November by paying some advance. Our flight got delayed but Pick Up was available once we checked out from airport. This trip was even more blissful. Thanks to the people at Jasminn & their management’s people centric approach, guests keep posting great reviews. They make their guest so comfortable with their service that you became loyal guest YOY basis. Pros Staff…Staff….Staff….7 star rating for entire staff.
