The property is very accessible from the airport. Old buildings but housekeeping staff does a very good job of keeping it clean. They are also very nice to talk to. The breakfast was very good even though options were limited. The food service staff is also very responsive and polite. Overall it was a good experience.

The stay was ok for the 4 days we were there. We like that it had the option for a 2 bedroom apartment style with a living area for our big family of 6 to be able to stay together and the pool area was well maintained and usable. The property is doing renovations and maintenance, some fixtures in the rooms are old and out dated and the bathrooms showers also had water discoloration in the tubs and toilet seats were loose. A lot of the listed amenities except for the pool area were not available due to the renovations. I recommend calling hotel first and verify if amenities are available. We initially booked the hotel for the many different amenities it offered especially traveling with children. The staff on the other hand were very friendly and helpful and the housekeeping staff were excellent in servicing the rooms. Will stay again in the future when the renovations are completed.

Some good and not so good things about hotel

I came here on my honey moon. Service was good, the rooms were big, the location of the hotel makes it feel like your in your own private jungle, and because it was off season I felt we had the hotel all to ourselves. Additionally, the hotel has a restaurant, a pool, and a spa. The food was good but a bit pricey for India, I'm not sure the spa was open but it seem clean, and the pool was good but could use consecutive cleaning throughout the day because of all the bugs in the area. The only down side of the hotel is that it is a bit outdated and needs renovation. Overall, I enjoyed my stay.

hi The hotel is in remote location no restaurants nearby. Restaurant menu is overpriced and less in qty. Restaurant menu is limited and when we went tandoor was not operational so half of the things were not available. Restaurant people more eager to wrap up your lunch or dinner than you. This is quite annoying when you want to have relaxed meal. There was no rush as such still there was lot of hurry. Breakfast is good and complimentary. Please note no food delverty services available here like swiggy etc. Hotel cleanliness is BIG issue. Have to remind many times to clean things. Front office Manager is never at Front Desk . Many false promises hotel gives. Rooms were smelling of DUST, Had to ask for Napkins, Toiletries, Phone of one of the room was not working. Water kettle was not working. MINI FRIDGE IS NOT WORKING IN ANY ROOM. TOLD HOTEL TO REMOVE IT FROM INCLUSIONS SHOWING ON EXPEDIA OR ANY OTHER WEBSITE. Rooms are big and with lovely Patio.Swimming Pool is nice and clean and well maintained.

Wouldn't recommend

I have been coming to this hotel since quite sometime and am pained to see the deterioration in the standard of the hotel. Rooms are spacious but very smelly. Bathrooms are dirty and you may sometimes find no water in the toilet or no hot water in the middle of your shower. Food is very expensive and with no restaurants around this place you are not left with much choice but to buy from their restaurant. For the price that you pay the quantity is meagre and average tasting. Internet is very very unstable and slow. No mobile network. I will not recommend the hotel anymore because they are compromising on quality which is unethical since they charge you a bomb.

I fell for this hotel by seeing the distance from airport...but this hotel is like isolated place where there is no mobile signal, no shops, no bike rentals and the list continues. Even if you want to buy a small chocolate you've to travel 4km to bogmallo by paying 300 INR (minimum charge for taxi), I spent most of money on these taxi rides. You've to stand like a statue of liberty outside of your room holding your mobile in hand for getting signal, don't even try indoors. About food....worse ever I had in entire Goa. If you're looking for a beach...yes there's a beach 1km away called Hollant with no tides (never saw a beach without tides before)..and it's full of rocks you can't walk in beach without footwear.

Horrible Experience

The reason why i chose this hotel was because it was close to airport and the venue as i was attending workshop for 2 1/2 weeks. The room was good size and the staff service was good however the manager was rude. Restaurant is not well maintained and the food was not upto standard and we had horrible breakfast. We had to call the staff on three occassions because of lizard, rats and cockroaches. The internet did'nt work most of the time, the rooms were not cleaned regularly and the towels were dried and put back to be reused. After calling several times and three days later, we were given the iron and iroing board. The hotel taxi was expensive but we had no choice but to use them. The beach is about 2km away and complimentary bus service is available, however the beach is not upto standard. If you want a nice relaxing holiday, this is not the place.

On arrival we were welcomed, staff were very helpful & we were very pleased with the room which over looked forest from the balcony at the rear & the pool from the front. We could've spent a week just relaxing around the pool area.

The food was not the best we'd eaten during our visit to India but was good enough & we would eat in the hotel restaurant again if went back.

Has potential but need better service and food

This hotel has potential to be very nice but needs to improve its service and food to make me stay again. The good, room are very nice (we had executive room) and grounds are nice with pool and hammock swings lets you star gaze.The Bad, its location is too far to walk to bigger beaches, the service seems negatively influenced by taxi mafia outside. The hotel staff tried to cancel their free shuttle bus to the beach 4km away, but only after we had boarded it. Claiming a driver issue, we complained and got a free taxi to the beach but we felt the staff were bullied by the taxi mafia. Plus the food in the restaurant is below average, hire some decent cooks and give your guests decent indian food!

Lovely hotel and great setting.

We had a lovely 8 days enjoying the facilities and traveling around the area.
The hotel is stunning and has all the facilities that you need. The staff are very helpful and become your friends as the week goes on.
The facilities that we used were the room service for food and drink, a massage, the swimming pool and the restaurant. All were good.
There is no tourist info that we are used to in Europe. The hotel refers you to the taxis drivers who have a list of things to do in the area, Anything outside this list is discouraged. The Spice Garden was great. The south beaches were nicer than the north. The Sat night market and the Wed flea market very good. The waterfall would have been good if it hadn't been so busy.

Disastrous Experience - Pathetic Staff - AVOID

Pathetic staff and very unscrupulous.

Resort is not really much of a resort, fairly dated and poorly maintained. The staff are horrendous.

We were originally told on the phone we could book one double room for 4 guests to stop off for an 8 hour wait to accommodate an early morning flight and a car was sent to pick us up at the airport accordingly. At the hotel they insisted we had to book two separate rooms for the 4 guests despite being told earlier on the phone that one double room was OK and which we had specifically queried. On the managers refusal, the receptionist suggested we do the booking via Expedia which we did and he gave us the key to a room but later the manager turned up with his security entourage demanding we book a second room or leave the hotel. This was despite our protestations at being told differently at the outset and had we known this would be the case we would have gone elsewhere. The manager simply refused to accept that his receptionist had misinformed us and maintained he was right and we were wrong.

We left the hotel within 3 hours and instead waited for over 4 hours at the airport in some degree of discomfort.

In short - it transpires this Hotel is no longer part of the Best Western Group as I rang them to complain. Best to avoid.

I am also sceptical about the exceptionally positive comments people have given this hotel, some describing this as the best resort ever! Highly questionable.

Proximity to the airport

We were there for a day and night. I switched from another hotel to this one; since, we had an early flight to catch.

This place is literally 5mins from the airport!! The room and general comfort was great and the hotel staff were courteous. Nothing spectacular; but, certainly met my needs for the stay.

Now the reason why this place gets only an \"OK\" - when I booked this hotel through expedia, it said they have transportation to the airport and breakfast, which is perfect for the early traveler. But, after checking in, they made me pay for both. Apparently, that offer is only for people who book through their website and not through a travel site. This is highly disingenuous!! These same travel sites are the reason why they get so much business....so why cant the facility be extended to them!?!

You can smell gamaxine in the rooms.

Telephone in the room does not work for more than a day in a place where you
hardly have cell phone signals. And once they fix the phone system
they do not bother to inform you about the same.

No News papers.

People will be walking across the backyard plants when you expect privacy
because your room's door opens directly into it.

Breakfast buffet and A-la-carte are a big let down - not really the place

The stay was comfortable. The staff were friendly and eager to help. It is situated close to Hollant beach. However Hollant beach is a tiny one. Other popular beaches are at least half an hour away by car. The hotel restaurant is decent. They have a well maintained swimming pool.

Well Traveled

Great for a quiet, relaxing vacation.

It was definitely a nice place. It's about a 15 minute walk to the beach in a cove. The beach itself was ok, but if you head around the cove to the left (there's a trail) you end up on this beautiful white sand beach that goes on farther than you can see (careful as there's much there for quite a ways).

The pool was really nice and the staff let me use the computer to use the internet for free.

Housecleaning was good, though really inconsistent with the time and I had to continually remind them and ask for the complementary water. Also, when I checked in at 3:00, they took almost 40 minutes to give me a clean room, and I didn't get towels until the next day.

The Indian food was good, though not amazing. It was a decent selection for the breakfast buffet. Any western food was not that great. For example, the cheese in the salad was just torn up pieces of Kraft singles. There's no other restaurants near by so this was the only option there. They made an pretty good attempt at providing quality service. There was no tipping at all until you pay your bill there was an opportunity then and the staff shares it out.

They provided a free shuttle to and from two different beaches, one of which is in a popular area with lots to do, and also one to the casino if you're interested. If you wanted to take a cab, its about $10 to go anywhere, and about $20 to $30 for a tour.

Bad food

The property is a very beautiful one. The check in was handled very efficiently. The room was clean and comfortable. The food was awful and the room service was lacking. The checkout was handled badly because of the rush and just one person at the counter. They do not have a travel desk and we had to depend on the local taxis parked outside. Non Availability of cigarettes a problem.

disappointing experience considering the price of the resort there are much better options in south goa , also the location is remote to all good beaches , transport is a big issue , very limited options on the food menu , lazy & not sincere room service and management .
