Terrible hotel rather it’s not a hotel it’s a lowest quality of railway she’s with no professionalism and ethics...I would request any one or every one do not book or stay at this hotel as they have no staff ..lowest quality of food and untrained staff to handle the hotel guests .
The hotel management has no involvement and have no idea of the word meaning service or hotel or responsibility...
We were so well cared for and got to know the staff. Clean comfortable rooms, tasty and affordable restaurant. A fantastic bargain. The only take away is it is not a walk to Panjim and cabs can be pricey—but you’re next to the nicest cleanest beach in town.
Fabulous authentic Goan food. Walking distance to a small, quiet beach.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Room comfort
Very noisy neighbours made for an unpleasant stay.
Rooms were great for the price.
Gym equipment wasn't great.
Not the best location but it is walking distance from the beach and nearby Cidade Resort.
All in all,
