Beautiful Location!

What a lovely hotel, not just the location on the tip of Sinquerim beach, the view onto a part of the Aguada Fort and it's own little bit of secluded beach but generally. I unfortunately fell ill while there and the staff were so great at making sure I was well looked after, even getting me in touch with a doctor and getting me my medication. I will definitely return to fully enjoy the experience.

HOLIDAY BEYOND ALL DREAMS

Excellent location. My jaw just dropped when I saw the view as I walked into the hotel. It was "a literally to die for panaromic view" of several beaches, palm trees, fort aguoda, blue skies - we loved it!!! The staff were brillant - they treated you like royalty. Several guests infact commented and shared the same views. We had a lovely room which had a sea facing view with a patio door that led to a private garden area. It was very clean, relaxing and we enjoyed waking up to the sea waves and the view of th beach. Every where you went there was a special scenic view. Relaxing in the swimming pool overlooking the sea and palm trees was just ideal. Also relaxing in the comfortable round sofas at SFX restaurant facing the view of the sea and feeling that breeze was soooo relaxing and theraputic. Free Yoga was excellent - really works! There is also a very nice SPA which is very relaxing. I particularly liked the fact that you can also use the facilities at the next hotel which is TAJ village. You really felt safe as the security was very good. Excellent holiday - best getaway from busy work life schedules. I would recommend anyone to experience this holiday and location - you get what it says on their website!!!! I am looking to go back again.

Fantastic!

There isn't the option to do so, but we would rate this hotel four and three quarters out of five! We thoroughly enjoyed our three day break here. The welcome on arrival and subsequent check-in procedure was a delight! Our room was as expected and had pleasant views, although from what I saw, I think all the rooms in this hotel have good views. We ate in the Fish restaurant and also the Italian restaurant and the service and quality of food in both were excellent. We loved the situation of this hotel, but were a little disappointed in the beach, which was quite small and mostly very busy, with lots of locally organised boat rides, etc. We didn't spend a great deal of time on the beach, as the sun loungers (and hammocks) available at the hotel were very comfortable and offered great views of the sea. Also we were very well looked after by the poolside staff, who couldn't do enough to help and who deserve a special mention. The outdoor bar is a very pleasant place to sit and also offers great views, as well as a first class selection of cocktails! I would rate our experience there as 4 out of 5, as it was sometimes difficult to catch the attention of the waiting staff (who in some cases seemed to have their own favourite customers). Our particular package at this hotel offered a discount on any food and drink we charged to our room bill. When we clarified this with the hotel reception, shortly after our arrival, they knew nothing about it and the onus was on us to contact the booking agents (who were very helpful) to resolve the situation. Although we were given the discount we were entitled to, I felt that the hotel reception staff should have been more pro-active in resolving the situation. If it wasn't for the slightly negative experiences with the reception staff and some of the outdoor bar staff, we would have rated this hotel a 5. We have already completed feedback directly to the hotel, and it is reassuring that they acknowledged our feedback very swiftly and had clearly read our comments. We would certainly recommend this hotel and would stay here again if we are lucky enough to find ourselves in Goa in future.

Open, spacious, pleasant staff

We used this as a "chill out" after a tiring "golden triangle" trip to Delhi, Jaipur, Agra & Varanasi and we found the hotel was a good place to relax. Unfortunately, we had to travel in May and the heat and humidity were a problem but that is not the hotel's fault! Air-con in the room was excellent. A good choice of food in the restaurant. Staff very helpful and courteous. Overall a good stay.
