Honestly, one of the best properties I’ve stayed at. The staff were absolutely amazing and there was nothing you could do that was a bother. On arrival we were greeted by Nikhil who swiftly had drinks sent our way and our rooms checked in, all while we were able to relax on the sofas. Genuinely the best check in experience I’ve ever had.

He was our main point of contact after this, making sure we always knew where to go, what to do and made sure we were looked after at all times. It really felt like a VIP experience.

Outside of this, the hotel was great, an amazing spa and fantastic restaurants.

Huge thanks to the team as they really went above and beyond. Can’t recommend enough.

Excellent breakfast and the staff go above an beyond in every way.
the beach is lovely, however the hotel does not have any facilities on the beach (loungers etc)
They also need more loungers around the main pool as there were only 8.
however the property is in a great location, the rooms are excellent and the staff superb.

Had my expensive sunglasses stolen within 2 minutes of leaving the property and returning. Definitely not going back to a place where staff is untrustworthy. The sunglasses were a gift and it broke my heart to have them stolen. It was hard to get hold of staff and although they have a CCTV there, I did not receive much help from the security team. We were seated at the open air rock pool area and the sunglasses were missing in the 2-5 minutes we had left the table and returned. This is terrible customer experience.

The overall room experience was so-so. The first time was damp and actually had water from the AC seep down and wet my open bag of clothes. I was given a different room after talking to the front desk and requesting a room change.

The staff was willing to help and courteous but not well-trained. The waiter kept interrupting us during dinner, although my friend and I were engrossed in an intimate conversation, and I had to ask him to give us some privacy.

I expected better service and will not be returning especially after having my personal property stolen.

It was great vacation we had with family. The food was great and service was extremely good with Mr Rajput at the Buffet restaurant was extremely polite and helpful. The rooms were perfect and we had very relaxing stay. Only thing missing was foot rest for the chair. It would have been super with that.

Amazing Stay At W Goa

W Goa is one of the most amazing properties in Goa. This place has a quirky architecture and their rooms are quite spacious and sunlit! Direct beach access comes handy. Moreover, this resort is quite close to all the party places in North Goa which I think is their USP. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Laxmi was our connector and go to person for all our needs throughout the stay. She connected with me on WhatsApp which made the conversation super easy. She also went over and above and guided us to find best cafes, markets, pubs etc. in Goa. I highly recommend this place, especially for young crowd.

Downgraded Room Category

The hotel didn’t have the bookings when we reached. They made us wait for an hour before they gave us the rooms. Also, they didn’t give us the promised rooms which were already paid for on hotels.com, and instead of upgrading us to a better category, they actually put us in a category lower which was the base category. I am a good
Member of both hotels.com and Marriott, and I do not understand this kind of service from
a hotel of this stature.

It is never about the mistakes that happen, but how they are dealt with and what solutions are provided.

Horrible stay at the W

It was supposed to be a couples retreat but did not turn out so. We booked a cottage room.
Causes of concern

1.) Cleanliness and hygiene go for a toss when you find a live cockroach in the mini bar

2.) Safety was another issue. Please check if there is an event taking place at the property before booking. We had to suffer through the effects of Sunburn. We had a drunk and wet stranger knocking on our door at the middle of the night asking if this was the W.. called the security and they eventually caught him .. but it’s not what you expect from a 5 star hotel

3.) the lights will randomly switch on and off .. so be prepared for your electronic equipments to get messed up

The ambience and facilities in the property is great. The most wonderful things about the property is greeneries. I mean good space is left for greenery. That's simply beautiful to look around. Other internal facilities are really admirable.

The let down are the taste at the restaurant. Took package for all meals. Lunch buffet was quite ordinary especially for vegetarians not much options. Gravies are non spicy and mostly tasteless. Few staffs are very friendly and customer oriented but remaining half of the staff at restaurant are lethargic. They don't clear used plates. Everything is messy on the table. However breakfast buffet is excellent. Lunch and dinner buffet are a big let down. Lots of reminders required for filling water and to clean up. The person who allots table is simply careless. They allot table almost very close to each other without mindful of covid situation inspite of so many tables being vacant. Also outside my room corridor was quite shabby and unclean. Water spors and dirt outside room. In the bathroom didn't get hot water as some issues were not detected.

In short, few areas like staff friendliness needs to improve at dining. Food taste, options need to improve. Apart from few let downs property, ambience, location and internal facilities are really good.
Thanks

Nice Hotel

Modern hotel, comfortable, but still very expensive for a medium service.
Staff is very nice for check-in but you wait for more than 15 min to get your luggage and finally do it yourself. Breakfast is a nightmare despite good quality because of lack of organization. Beach is far away and medium attractivity… with swimming pool closed, we moved all the day to other places to have good stay.
In conclusion, doesn't worth the fare.

Such a ‘W’onderful trip

W makes sure you feel right at home from the time you land till you check out. Their vibrant young staffs are always finding a way to delight you. Then check in was a breeze, Mohan made sure of it. The breakfast at spice traders and sundowner at rock pool shouldn’t be missed. Their safety and sanitation standards even during this pandemic time is top notch.

Would like to specially mention Nikhil in making sure our trip was a really memorable one. His recommendations helped us plan a legendary itinerary. He went above and beyond to make sure anything that we wanted was taken care of..

W Goa would be our go to place for the years to come.

most amazing stay

A much awaited vacation after lockdown made it more memorable for us with Hotel W goa. Most important a pet friendly hotel with a very welcoming staff made our stay amazing. We stayed with hotel W for 5nights with family at the Villa. A beautiful private villa with patio for our puppy to play was an added bonus. I loved the Hotel that I went ahead and extended my stay solo for another 3 nighgs with their fabulous room right next to a small outdoor area.

To begin with Mohan the teleoperator who solved all our queries even before making the final reservations. Sunny was in constant contact untill we checked in.The reception desk staff Trupti, Veda, Anderlia and Tenzin took care of our checkin, check out and stay extension.
The food here is just amazing...a lavish spread of buffet for all meals is to die for. Spice traders has one of the best sushi we had. Thanks to kitchen table team, manoj and chef konark.
The Rock pool is the best attraction and you should not miss the sundowner. Thanks to Abdullah and kalikant.
The indoor WooBar is another best place to hangout. Thanks to Ajay for the best drinks...you have try his Expresso martini with cinnamon.
Thanks to Rishabh and Alsia for making sure that we had the best time with the hotel. A huge appreciation and gratitude to Alsia she took care of all our comfort as well as made sure that our puppy will also be comfortable. Thanks to all the staff right from the porters to buggy drivers.

Spice Traders is a winner!

W Goa is an excellent hotel and our stay was extremely comfortable. But we did run into an extremely irritating situation with the hotel administration even before we arrived. [More on this below.] The hotel is beautifully designed and the service is excellent. We LOVED Spice Traders! Their food is just superb and the hospitality extended by their staff is simply world class! We recommend it very highly. The problem we did run into, however, was this: We were visiting several cities within India in two weeks and we accidentally got our travel dates to Goa mixed up. Consequently, we ended up making a mistake with booking our flights. As soon as we booked our flights, we realized that we were now arriving a day after our original reservation started and we were now scheduled to leave a day after our original reservation ended. We tried to contact the third party booking site (hotels.com) as well as W - asking them to simply move our reservation dates-block by one day. But W Goa refused to do it. As a result, we ended up paying for the first night (even though we didn't stay there) and re-booking the hotel for our last night in Goa. If they had been more flexible, we would consider returning to W Goa the next time we are there. (I love Goa. This was my third time visiting.) But, we are not sure want to. The hotel is great. But the hotel administration's inflexibility about this clear accident on our part cannot exactly be characterized as hospitality - in any reasonable sense.

W is all about its staff

To be very frank, I was not having very high hopes with W.Being used to the cleaner and quieter beaches of South Goa, frankly I was very disappointed seeing the over crowded and not so clean beach just outside the hotel.To top it up there was no assistance desk of the hotel at the beach for providing sea beds and towels etc.But that was just about the negative aspect of my stay.In the same breath, I must make an honest admission that apart from the beautiful property that W owns at Vagator'Goa, there is another solid asset the hotel enjoys, it's team members, most of whom were very good and made us feel at home. I have to make a very special mention of the following people:
Sunny (Master Chef) : With his pleasing and sweet personality and effervescent smile, Sunny is a master both inside and outside the kitchen, making him a winner all the way.
Nilesh (We Kids):He is an excellent guy, with a most sweet and appealing nature and of all he is loved by all the children.
Narayan (Chef):Narayan's command on English coupled with his mastery inside the kitchen makes a deadly combination out of him.
Wang:The food's great a W and when the server brings it on with a great smile, be rest assured it is none other than Wang the charmer.
Aman:He maybe the director rooms, but that does not stop him from being present everywhere personally interacting with the guests, speaking about the local specialities and breathing in a new life to the word'cordial'.
Thanks guys
