Traveling to India? Find Goa hotels

I was so lucky to grab the Leela Goa (via Agoda) during the off-season at an incredibly affordable price, but I must admit that even though the experience is probably worth every penny of the rates it usually commands ($300-400/night during from Oct-Apr)...I probably wouldn't have been able to afford such luxury if not for the off-season. The airport shuttle was a 5-series BMW, there were staff attendants to serve your every whim...from assistance in the "locker room" after a workout in the gym, to a security guard to carry a flashlight 10 steps behind you if you wanted to walk on the beach after sunset. The only warning I would issue is that the cuisine is not very western-friendly. I ate an apple from my room on the first morning and spent the next 2 hours sick in the bathroom. The buffet is filled with Indian and Chinese options, which are either very spicy (as is consistent with the rest of India) and/or full of uncooked fruits and veggies, which are no-nos for Westerners. But that is literally the ONLY "complaint" I could muster, and its a mild complaint as part of the adventure of India is navigating a wild assortment of new foods! The resort is absolutely the definition of luxury and beauty, perfectly relaxing and comfortable. I even rented a moped and explored the surrounding villages, and felt very safe doing so. Thanks for such a wonderful stay!!

before going to Goa, we heard a lot of bad experiences from our friend that the hotel where they stayed not as they expected and their holiday become unpleasent experience. While we were searching, we still have this worry and it still have that until we arrived in the hotel. First thing that make our worried slowly dissapear that the hotel design was beautiful starting from the lobby, where friendly hotel staff helping us a lot on taking care our luggages, offering welcome drink, all the check in paper work done while we sitting relax in comfortable sofa. Then we were pleased more when we saw our room which very comfortable with good design and well maintain bath room with power shower, and located strategically in front off swimming pool where we can watch our kids playing in the pool just 10 steps in front of us. The hotel have good garden with kids playground facility and best of all it's next to the beach which very clean, beautiful sunset, and the sand was so soft. Other thing we like was the japanese restaurant which serving good teppanyaki. Some other thing that could be improved further were location of kids club, would be good if located outside hotel employee working zone, more variaty of non-indian food in waterfall restaurant buffet lunch & dinner, and safety concern of falling coconut to the swimming pool. Overall we were very pleased with our holiday in Zuri White Sand Resort Goa, it's actually beyond our expectation. Thanks.

We planned to have a relaxed trip and Goa was suitable place. We choose to stay at north Goa at this property as it is close to Condolim beach and clam place. We booked superior type the rooms were spacious, well maintained & has balcony to relax. The pool was close but occupied by foreigners for the sun bath. Coming to food, the compliment break fast has good spread & delicious. They have activity room but not that big(in terms of no. of activities) and this need to be improved b'cose the rooms stinks and u can only play carom board & table tennis. Coming to transportation, we hired two wheeler which next door to the hotel and was roaming around as the beaches & other sightseeing are in 5-7 KM u can cover Candolim, Calangute, Baga beaches and fort Aguada as well the dolphin boat sightseeing. The receiption person help in arranging the cab for the drop to the airport. The only thing is transportation to be taken care. Overall, We had good time & the hotel is fabulous & I do recommend.

It was a wonderful stay and staff was really helpful. we got a early check in as well because we booked for 10 days. Hotel is really great, I would say better or similar to Novotels in Dubai. All was well cleaned and maintained. Not a complaint but a small suggestion would be to make the WC cleaning better and replenish the worn towels, that taken care would surely take the Hotel to 5 star level. I know I am not staying in Taj but that sorted you are a very good hotel. This feedback maybe because I am a Hotel Management and Laundry person, for normal guests it is nothing that they would observe. Great value for money and great facilities with awesome location and very courteous staff and management. For all who shall stay do not forget to carry swimming glass for they have an awesome infinity pool at rooftop. Pool was very clean but difficult to open eyes n swim for a regular swimmer as well hence the glasses. Book this property if you want great value for money.

This was my 3rd visit to Goa, and everytime I used to stay in North Goa near Baga beach. But this time I decided to give South Goa a try, as their beaches and the water are supposed to be cleaner. The location of this resort is good, about 15kms from the Goa Airport, not too far in the South. The rooms are excellent, although I think they were a bit dimly lit. The Staff is excellent. I was there with my parents for my birthday, and they gave us a complimentary birthday cake. :) Would like to give a special mention to Niushka at the reception desk. We arrived way too early before our check in time, but she got us accommodated in our rooms in no time. She was very friendly. All the staff are really nice people. The resort is located close to the Uttorda beach, which is nice and clean. There is only one more resort connected to the beach, so its not really crowded, which I liked it. The Swimming pool is amazing, has a pool bar, and looks amazing in the night with the blue leds inside it. Although i wished the Jacuzzi was bit more powerful :) The Breakfast buffet is one of the best. Try to get a deal which includes breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets, since I didn't like much the a-la-carte menu. They have 2 more bars inside, and the beers are priced at reasonable rates. Although I went in monsoons, and all the water sports was closed, It was a peaceful vacation for us, a perfect getaway. I would rate it 8/10, because I wished they had a bar and a restaurant at the beach, even in monsoons, which is what most people would love it. If you don't have your own car here, then you would probably have to take taxi from outside the hotel, since there is no other public transport available. The Taxi rates from this hotel are bit more on the high, 3500 Rs for 80 kms with 6hrs of cap. and 4000 Rs for 120 kms with 8hrs of cap. But hey its Goa, a touristic place, so it will be expensive everywhere :) Overall a perfect getaway place. And if you're lucky you might even spot few bol

We only had about 36 hours in Goa and wanted a hotel that was in the older part of town. The Crown Goa Hotel is a charming hotel, that is located on top of a hill so it has sweeping views of the river and the town below. It was surprisingly quiet. The staff were excellent. We had breakfast included and it was very good. They have a nice pool, so you can cool down during the day. We did not go to any of the beaches. But we did visit the sites, the market and the church, everything is easily reachable.

Reception staff very courtious assisted with early checkin Restaurant Mr.Rohit very understanding helpful to our needs Chef Mr.Rajdeep available all time serving delicious Goa dishes..missed Goa sea food on menu of buffetI ordered at additional cost ..Food Bill's while checkout just shocked me..Some.items exp Room service takes time but were committed to their standards Swimming pool was the only issue.Bit small when you have lots of people in...less room for small child as curves makes it small having sharp edges to get hurt.water quality I found not much hygenically clean.Many pools of all star categories have chlorine smell in water wether gas or powder chlorine treatment..but this pool water though looks clean has pecùlar smell.. Many people from corporate and local families coming on cheap daily brunch or package were seen in pool.almost for 2 to 3 hours but never came out to use washrooms.. its not hotels fault but quality of people using pool kept us away most of the days.

The Resort is like a dream. This Hotel is like a Paradise. It’s new and luxury resort. It has free wifi in all the Hotel and the Parks. We were very well received by very very friendly and polite. 10 Points !!! help us a lot and made our stay in the hotel memorable and we’re super-grateful. Breakfast are 10 Points ! decorated the room with some amazing towel statues and cleaned the room excellent. 10 Points !!! super friendly and polite in the Salon Vip. 10 Points !!! Resort Activities Manager was our Tourist Guide in Goa and in the North of India. We never forget our talks with Nora, always very educated, very friendly and she speaks a lot of languages. We Had a memorable experience with Grand Hyatt Goa. Grand Hyatt Hotel Goa was amazing !!! We recommended it a lot. !!!

Fantastic place, location, staff, food and price!! We haven’t been to India before so we wanted to give goa a go and found Beleza. We stayed for 8 nights and have just got back from an amazing trip. I’d give this place 8/10 altogether (would be 10/10 but building work is currently going on and can be a bit noisy) but as soon as that is done the place will honestly be perfect. The staff from the moment you check in can not help you enough. From the porters, reception, management, pool staff, bar staff, cleaners, security and restaurant staff everyone was very helpful. The rooms are very well presented and clean. Nice walk in showers and a comfortable bed. The food is reasonably priced however if you eat in the restaurant or bar you’ll have to add 28% to the bill (18% tax and 10% service charge) but still cheap for the amount you get. Breakfast is also good with local and Indian specialties, also with an egg bar and fresh fruit juices. Restaurant menu is varied. One thing I would mention is the beach is amazing and if you want to walk to colva you should 100% walk along the beach. Taxis can seem a bit expensive but you can haggle. Overall a great stay, 100% would recommend. Just so you know it is in the quite prt of goa and there is some really good shacks if you want something a bit more lively! Great place

This was amongst one of many trips of goa for me. But, unlike my other trips, it was an out n out family trip. I was travelling with my wife nd my 10 months old daughter so we chose Santana. we initially booked it for two days but den I xtended our booking for a couple of days more. The place is located beautifully in front of candolim beach. Even though the property is fairly big , you would always find the housekeeping ppl keeping up the cleanliness. It has a beautiful pool bar, which me nd my wife enjoyed thoroughly throughout our stretch of stay(the music was good, the staff was courteous nd d food always delicious). One best thing out there, was the friendly staff who was always willing to help out in every possible manner including keeping our baby girl accompanied when we wee enjoying the pool, having our meal or just sitting at the bar.

Our stay at Regenta was quite enjoyable & memorable. It is a well designed & well maintained property.Pool facing room had the best view.Staff was very welcoming & cooperative. Varca beach is only at walking distance where we had so much fun while doing watersports. Regenta also provides spa facilities. For a family who want to experience calm environment of south Goa Regent is a good option.

I was looking for 3 rooms online and I hav to choose the best as we were coming here to celebrate my brother in Laws anniversiry. I was getting a lovely deal From agoda so I booked 3 cozy rooms...wen we landed goa and were on the way to hotel the taxi driver scared Us by saying that the road to our resort is little disturbed...I got worried but as we reached the resort the first word which my brother in law said was "marvelous" We recieved a very warm welcome by the staff and they were very polite freindly and supportive.we were worried that how we gonna arrange a cab to go baga beach, then our hotel staff informed us that the pick up and drop is complimentary from the hotel. Our rooms were like villa and were sooooo beautiful and romantic..we enjoyed hukkah in our balcony..lights during the night outside was making the hotel looks sexy... ..we came back to our hotel dinner time and other than a ruitine 5 star ambience, a live performance was waiting for us...the whole atmosphere wad so Cool as we enjoyed our dinner with light live goa songs...that made our celebration the most memorable one...in the morning we enjoyed a lavish breakfast... Any one looking for a five star property to enjoy near baga beach...I think this one is the best... All the facilities like rent a Bike supermarket were few steps away and baga beach casino sukh Thai massage just 2-3 km away from our hotel..my brother in Law Has said that wenever he will visit goa next time this will b the only hotel in his mind...

First of all, the Agoda "app" is troublesome, dont rely on it as far as dates r concerned.i booked a stay for 24-26th, the app showed me 23-25th (now while writing review, it shows my stay as 22-24). Out of all dis confusion,i rchd my destination 1 day prior, but the ppl here at Agoda are awesome n very co-operative.In a matter of minutes,Agoda managed with the hotel staff, n gave me d desired rooms a day in advance (n of course, compensated for the trouble too).. Abt the resort, it is simply amazing. best location, with crystal clear water on the beach; v less frequented, so less polluted. Premium suites are spacious,cozy n comfortable, n provide direct beach view. Swimming pool was js next to my suite n was v well-maintained. Restaurant serves decent food at reasonable prices. Staff is well-behaved n professional. Amenities are 5-star. The property is 1 of the best in Goa. Definitely recommend a stay here, at least 2-3 days, if not more.

My first visit to Goa and having stayed in Royal Orchid in Bangalore many times, I decided to choose Royal Orchid Goa as I was already familiar with its excellent service and good hotel design. And as expected, the service was par excellence from the moment we arrive. The check in was good, the room was good, the food in the restaurant was excellent. One thing that is the best feature is its location to the beach! right outside the hotel, the beach was quiet, clean, private, it was really really the best highlight of my trip. I definitely would make Royal Orchid Goa my vacation hotel and I cant wait to be back. I would definitely recommend this hotel

Outstanding customer service! Each and every member of the hotel staff provided extraordinary service. The hotel is located at one of the nicer beaches, Calangute - Goa! The hotel is surrounded by variety of restaurants/cuisines for every type. Taxis are available outside the hotel gate and the drivers are extremely reliable. I would definitely recommend The Park at Calangute to anyone traveling to Goa and wants a 5-star hotel on the beach and shops and restaurants.

Casa De Goa Hotel We spent a 3 nights at Casa De Goa Hotel in March. The hotel was clean & neat with a laid back holiday atmosphere. The rooms were an average size with a balcony overlooking the pool which was well used by most guests especially if there was live entertainment at dinner. The staff was friendly & willing to assist with any issues guest may have. Although breakfast was a bit boring other food we ordered was quite tasty and affordable. The sea food BBQ is worth a try. A very pleasant stay overall. I would recommend this hotel to the traveller who is aiming for value for money and a relaxed stay in Goa.

We had booked Alila Diwa Goa for our honeymoon & it was the best decision we could have taken to make our stay special and luxurious. We had opted fpr Standard Terrace Room. And we were treated with the most quite room with awesome view. Room was fully equipped with all amenities & toiletries. Highlight of the room was large bath tub & rain shower. The hotel staff welcomed us with cold napkins & kokam cold drink. Our room was well decorated for a honeymoon special and were surprised with fruit cake. Alila Diwa is well spread luxurious resort at 500 meters distance from Gonsua beach. Buggy rides are provided to the beach which has all water sports activities. Infinity pool was our favorite spot in yhe resort. Breakfast at the VIVO was very delicious & widely spread buffet. There were a lot of vegetarian & non vegetarian options available to tickle our taste buds. In hotel dining options are a bit expensive but there are a lot many cheaper options just after you step out of the resort. Fishka, The Camron being the best ones serving lip smacking sea food, Goan & Portuguese delicacies. Only turn down, is the distance from South Goa which takes a quite a while to travel to happening places like Calangute & Baga. Also, considering a 5 star property, Alila Diwa should provide complimentary airport pick up & drop transfers. Overall, an awesome experience & a luxurious stay at Alila Diwa.

bloomrooms@Calangute offers reasonably priced rooms just 15 mins away from the beach. The rooms are a bit small (22 sq. meters) but clean, comfy bed. Despite booking the room very late and at the absolute high point of the Goa season, I felt it was a superb deal (10K INR for 30th Dec to the 1st) considering how exorbitant rooms generally go for. It's situated just off the main road opposite Infantaria and can be tough to spot from the street (Guys put up a sign!) but google maps will lead you right to it! The pool area is nice and complimentary breakfast is very decent (the coffee really needs work though). It doesn't look like much when you walk up the alley but they've made excellent use of the space they have and the white and bloomroom signature yellows are cheery and welcoming. There's iMacs for us to use (and a game room that should be ready soon) and the staff are helpful without being intrusive. Great for couples or solo travelers who come just for the sun and the sand.

Bogmallo beach resort has one of the finest beach views in Goa(every room has a beach view), where you can literally hear the sound of the waves in your room, so even if you don't feel like going to the beach you can enjoy the soothing views of beach and the sunset from your hotel balcony. One of the best Pool's amongst Goa hotels from where also you can watch the beach. Hotel offered free wifi, games facilities, gym and spa. Staff is experienced and takes good care of the guests. Hotel serves breakfast, lunch and dinner buffet with both veg and non veg options which includes sea food. Just 10 minutes drive from the airport. Highly recommended. Thanks Agoda.

I really liked the place very good location and friendly staff . Good food in there restaurant I will definitely recommend it for all it's worth your stay. Very good. Rooms and we'll maintained. Only problem is that of room service it takes a bit long it's worth staying. Buffet breakfast is also good. I will give them 4.6 Stars overall and definitely on my next visit I will not look at any other hotels in Goa.

Stayed at this place between 28 May and 01 Jun. Booked this place solely based on reviews on Agoda. To begin with, the resort is easily accessible and the check-in was smooth. The rooms were sparkling clean. The decor is basic, bit everything looks just perfect. Lenin and toilets were very clean. The toon smelled good. The resort has cosy large wooden cabins with great landscaping. Several coconut trees, hammocks, benches and children play area. The beach is a stone's throw away. Extremely clean and uncrowded unlike other beaches in North Goa. Food at the resort is reasonably priced. Sufficient variety. Staff is friendly too. However they were not very clued upon Goa. All queries got a rather disappointing reply. The swimming pool is very clean. Couldn't use spa services bcos of restricted timings. Suggested improvements are, Better breakfast menu, better spa timings and some booklet on Goa could be provided with advise to travellers. Overall a great stay! Will go back to this place again.

We stayed in this hotel for 5 nights. I believe it is indeed one of the best choices one can make in the northern part of Goa, at least for a medium price budget. The hotel is very clean, has a very nice pool environment and a good restaurant in the hotel. It is one of the newest hotels in the area, therefore indeed clean and modern. The rooms are not extremely spacious, but sufficiently large for a limited stay. I can only say that I would go there right again if I spent again some time in Goa. This is basically the best you can say about a hotel stay .......

We recently stayed at Rococco Ashvem beach as part of a three week holiday in India. The five nights we stayed at the hotel were a very relaxing and enjoyable time for us. The staff were exceptionally helpful, especially when we were four hours late arriving, due to a train delay, the driver waited for us at the station!!! We also lost our room key and again the staff went above and beyond to help us get back into our room and eventually into our room safe. we can not praise the staff enough they were all friendly and extremely helpful. Our one slight minor complaint is it would be nice to see more South Indian/ Indian food on the menu, the menu very much caters to western standards, however this is a personal thing, we live in the west now but crave good Indian food. Others may prefer Western style. The location was spectacular the sea warm and we had the added benefit of the deluxe sea view room , it was amazing to watch the sun set from both our room and the beach. Whilst by some western standards this hotel may not be viewed as 4-5 star, to us all the above positive features made our stay a truly amazing and positive stay that we feel very lucky to have had. We will be back in the future.

The view of the beach from the restaurant area and lawns were terrific. Though we turned up in an off season with persistent rains, the beautiful landscapes,views and always smiling restaurant staff kept us in high spirits! Palash the restaurant has great food. Loved all the genuinely good vegetarian friendly options (including the ubiquitous need for curd rice by the elderly folks in the group!). Lalitha the pet dog was adorable. She is such a braveheart! I would only just recommend the hospital management to incorporate proactive room quality checks instead of reactive (on being told) room checks. The issues reported on AC, WC flush, TV etc on different rooms by the guests were prompty resolved by the staff. Rooms clean and tastefully done! La Cabana by very far, is the best resort in Ashwem. If you happen to come here in the monsoons, the resort is a great place to just chill and hang around even if you can't go outdoors to the seas, beaches or anywhere else in Goa!
