The hotel staff were knowlegeable... More

This is a good resort in a quiet town in South Goa. This is however not on the beach. One has to walk five to ten minutes to reach the beach. The beach is good for taking a dip. It is not crowded. Life guards are posted there. The resort itself is good for both couple and family vacations. It... More

We spent two weeks there and could not fault the housekeeping and restaurant/bar staff. Always friendly, kind and helpful.
