Somy Plaza

The Somy Resort (Plaza) is perfectly located in the middle of all Calangute has to offer, go to the left out of the hotel a short walk to Holiday Street. Go straight over to go towards the beach, to the right takes you to the town of Calangute. The hotel is in the process of refurbishment, all of the rooms have been finished to a high standard and other areas like the dining room are being refurbished at the end of the season. The staff are very friendly, especially on Reception where you can find Amol who speaks very good English and will be very helpful to you should you need help or advice, Dominic has joined the staff this season who also speaks very good English and has improved the quality of Reception at Somy. We stayed there for 8 weeks earlier this year and we will be back Jan 2021 for 6 weeks. Already looking forward to it.

Paid over £650 for a 2 week stay no breakfast included. Dirty room on arrival Bin in bathroom full. Cater for the locals Very loud screaming around the pool from locals. No room on somedays for guests due to outsiders paying 250 rupes to use the facilities so paying guests have to go else where. Asked to borrow a fork for my supper in my room and was informed that there was a charge. Asked for a bucket of ice and was charges 100 rupes. Was stopped on the way in one night and asked if we had picked our husbands up they thought we had brought random men home. This review should be a zero. Could not wait to leave not helpful rude and dirty. The manners of these staff are appalling.

We’re just back from a two week stay at the SoMy Hotel!... Hotel reception staff!... check-in was very swift and the reception staff were always very helpful throughout our stay! The room!... our room was lovely and spacious with a firm comfortable bed and obviously it had the usual air-conditioning but also had an additional ceiling fan. The walk in shower came complete with a wonderfully refreshing high fan shower head. Room cleaning!... the staff always carried out a first class job in cleaning the room and leave two bottles of free mineral water each day + the usual replenishing of tea/coffee and they also left some very imaginary towel orrogarmy😀 The buffet breakfast/restaurant area!... the breakfast area was just perfect, with the chef cooking up turkey sausages and omelettes, with extra ingredients added on request... plus there are numerous hot and cold dishes to choose from at the buffet area, both Indian and European! All the restaurant staff were so friendly and helpful, with a special thank you to the restaurant manager Vivian, one couldn’t want to meet a nicer chap, he’s a real asset to the hotel and also Abhijeet (Bobby) again!.. an absolute lovely friendly fella👍🏼 Swimming pool!... the pool was always a nice treat at the end of a beach day and there were aways spare sun beds in shaded areas + lots of umbrellas for additional shade, a must in the Goan sunshine ☀️ Location!... location is very central... ideally placed in Calangute, just back from the main town. The beach is around a 10 minute walk from the hotel, you cross the rd from the hotel gates and keep walking straight until you see the sign to the Chelsea shack, follow that and you’ll find a lovely beach😎 There are numerous restaurants and bars in walking distance of the hotel, or if you fancy a far more livelier beach or night out, it’s a 15 minute walk into the main town of Calangute... or 5 minute ride by tuktuk, a tuktuk costs 100R= roughly £1 or £2 by taxi!! My tip!... don’t worry about bringing rupiahs with you, as we didn’t!!... changing money couldn’t be easier as directly across the rd from the hotel is a cash point/machine with its very own security guard outside as the machine is inside a little room, we drew out 10.000R each time, about £100... Though on arrival do take some loose change with you £/€1 coins or $ bills for the airport and hotel baggage attendants... as it’s a charge of £1 per case/bag!! So yes!!... we had a lovely stay at this hotel, the whole trip was a very different summer sun break/adventure... we’ll definitely be back and would absolutely recommend the SoMy hotel Resort in Calangute👍🏼
