    A Good Resort in South Goa
    04 Sep , 2019 ADS19101978, 293860
    We stayed in Novotel for 2 days with my family in August 2019. This property is situated in Cavelossim in south Goa. We stayed last time in Raddision Blu which is located just behind this property and they share common area and common walkway towards Cavelossim beach. Hotel room are very clean and you get chance to stay in standalone cottages. It was raining heavily and so we had to spend much of time in this property. They got a good club house and restaurants within their hotel premises and this helped the kids engaged. There were few power cuts but they had a backup but this bit annoying Overall hotel staff is very cooperative and friendly. Also Service was quite prompt. Breakfast spread is too good and one get lot of options I would recommend this hotel if you are looking for a good resort in south Goa
    Experience conducting a 4 day residential conference in August 2019

    Describing our experience here during our 2 week stay at the hotel and the 4 day event we conducted between 22 and 25 August 2019. The cohesion between departments, proactive service, responsiveness was amazing. So was the attention paid to detail by most of the staff across departments. Departments we interacted with during our stay and event were the Security team, F&B, Transport, room bookings, front office and marketing. We found that employees love working here which means management is doing a great job of keeping them motivated. (We also took part in a volleyball friendly with the hotel staff that was part of some employee program where the general manager of the hotel too joined in. Heads-up to those doing events at this hotel and needing Internet connectivity on wifi - please go in for a low cost paid line. worth it. We needed live streaming data of stock market quotes on a weekday and hence opted for it. Alson, the IT Manager is your Go To Guy for this. Excellent resource for the hotel. And we had tremendous support from most of the other people in the various verticals/teams, so thank you guys. We are not professional event managers and yet you made our job easy for us. Hugely appreciated. Hope to see you again sometime soon after your new conferencing facilities come up shortly. The only area where we found room for improvement was a. Faster turn around times from Marketing to our requests and b. better communication between marketing (after the sale was made) to the other teams like operations. Special mention of Mr. Yadav, the security person at the lobby as you alight from your car. Always has a smiling countenance and a pleasing demeanour. Someone give him a raise.
    Wonderful Hospitality and Amazing Service

    I am writing this feedback on behalf of our group that checked in on 31-Aug-2019 and checked out on 02-Sep-2019. We have internally and randomly took inputs from the guests who stayed during the above said period in your property and am putting down below few points that I thought should be shared. First of all I would like to thank Ms.Soni Singh from Global Sales team for introducing us to this wonderful property. Undoubtedly it is the best. To start off, Because of the unforeseen delay all our coaches arrived at the hotel at around 9 pm as against anticipated 3 pm. The entire team was always ready to extend all the possible help that we needed. I would like to specially thank MR.PRAKHAR MEHROTRA (STAR OF NOVOTEL GOA DONA SYLVIA RESORT, WITHOUT ANY DOUBT) who went ahead an extra mile every time to help our group on all aspects starting from interacting with us much before our group arrived and personally giving a sendoff to the last coach that departed the resort. He was coordinating with us constantly on the day of arrival and once he got a sense that our arrival will be delayed then he immediately swung into action and spoke to the chef and got our lunch time extended so that our group won’t skip the lunch. Further when he got to know that our group is going to be further delayed in arriving at the resort, he had a meeting with the concerned teams and arranged some Hi-tea and ensured that our group had something to eat upon arrival. Unfortunately as we couldn’t arrive at resort till 9 pm he ensured that all the keys are ready before we came and he kept his entire team ready to receive us and I still wonder how he was able to issue almost 100 rooms with in a short time of around 17 odd minutes. Only a proper planning can achieve this kind of things and we would like to reiterate that PRAKHAR IS UNDOUBTEDLY A SUPER STAR and having this kind of staff in your team will always bring a value to the brand. Coming to the Banquets part Mr.Anuranjan did his best on both the days and ensured that both our banquets events went well. Ms.Manasi & Ms.Raisa were also very helpful in interactions on various queries w.r.t. our group. Finally I would like to say that our entire group was extremely happy with their stay arrangements at your property and we can say that hardly there is something that needs improvement. Ø The Security at the property was always alert Ø The Welcome arrangements were good Ø The Front office was always welcoming Ø The Rooms are arranged well Ø The Housekeeping was perfect Ø The food was very good and tasted really great Ø The Swimming Pool is best Ø The Ambience of the resort is excellent Ø The overall hospitality is amazing Once again I thank your entire team for the wonderful hospitality and hopefully we will comeback with another group sooner.

    We planned a short stay at the hotel with our family, and everyone there made sure we enjoyed our stay there, especially Ms Gita and Mr. Prakhar. They upgraded our rooms that put us very close to the beach. They have a beautiful well maintained property. A huge pool, and lots of games for the perfect family entertainment time. We'll definitely visit again soon
    Fantastic homely stay!
