    Last day today of a fortnight in an excellent facility.it has been refurbished since Novo took it over,which is a very big plus. All facilities available and the food is too die for. I'm not a vegetarian but I was completely happy with the foods available. The service from waiters was a bit of a let down, possibly due to it being near the end of the season but can't complain. The wife and I have enjoyed the break immensely. Their was the pool and the beach.Around the pool all drinks and nibbles are free as it is inclusive. Food from one of the many shacks on the beach is so cheap it's ridiculous. Shops available in walking distance and with "bartering " it is cheap. If you want a relaxed and enjoyable holiday without the noise and bustle, this is the place. This is our 5th time, and won't be the last.

    Arrived quick and easy at hotel, very clean and the grounds kept well. Pool lovely and clean. Room good and kept clean, WiFi ... 🤦🏼‍♀️ nightmare was told upgrade for a charge Food : was somewhat lacking in Indian curry not many meat dishes and used tofu,,,yuck....freshly made nam bread fantastic, Found in a morning the coffee and tea were cold, when in India you expect perfect tea not made with warm water... Got fed up with the food and did go out to James and had the best curry ever If your going for a quiet relaxing holiday then forget it, it’s amazing to see the Indian wedding but after seen 4 and having upto 2/3 per day over 14 days you have had enough, the noise is unbearable when your round the pool, Food round the pool was slow in arriving but nice. Hotel is in a good location and the beach is lovely and clean... Any questions then please ask ... Would I return maybe not

    What makes an excellent stay here is an overall experience, be it property in itself and courteous staff (especially Gita).  So if I were to talk of property here are few of the USP 1.  huge property with decent and well maintained rooms, 2.  swimming pool and a private beach with couple of shacks where one can just chill whole day 3. good restaurants within property and a  sone right opposite the road,  4. good playarea for kids and  decent clubhouse. Also they had some activities arranged all days The above points are in line with any other 5 star resort. However, what makes this property unique is it's courteous and always helpful staff. It was my wife's birthday on the day when we were to check in. So I had contacted hotel if they can help me arrange for surprise. I would say that Gita left no stone unturned in making that day special, right from decorating room, and  and the team had well decorated the room and had arranged for couple of surprises from their end and also arranged for private candle light dinner (don't want to further detail those by mentioning on this forum. Would request ppl to plan something similar with help of Gita).To conclude, entire staff was really smiling and helpful throughout our stay. After so many positives, one small area for improvement would be in terms of buffet breakfast. There was only one eggless dessert throughout our stay. However overall loved our stay and definitely coming back ASAP.
    A wonderful stay

    We stayed at this resort for 4 days and had our best time in GOA. The staff is helpful and courteous. We celebrated my husband's birthday here and the hotel staff made wonderful arrangements with a complimentary cake. I was staying with my 2 year old daughter and the hotel provided hot milk and baby food on request. The property is big enough and well maintained. They have a private gateway to the beach and we were able to do swimming and have good time at the beach without much crowd around. The complimentary breakfast offered good variety and was wholesome. I would highly recommend the place for families.
