Top Panaji Hotel Reviews
Taj Exotica Resort & Spa, Goa
"Great property and nature ๐"
ITC Grand Goa, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Goa
"Very friendly staff and very accommodating"
Taj Cidade de Goa Horizon, Goa
"Great place and great service Great guest service and accommodation by manager ranga"
Vivanta Goa, Miramar
"Experience from other Taj was much better than the experience. Food was average and not much of choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Flexibility was less in accommodating certain requests like additional towels for the room. Conditioners and other items were less and short of water bottles"
Fairfield by Marriott Goa Benaulim
"Great stay"
Courtyard By Marriott Goa Colva
"Stayed here for one night while exploring South Goa. Everything right from Check in to check out was flawless. Breakfast was one of the best highlight of our trip - very extensive and all freshly prepared. Last but not least special thanks to Yuvraj and entire reception team - they are extremely helpful, polite and understanding. Will return soonโฆ"
The St. Regis Goa Resort
"The St Regis is Goa is an exceptionally good resort. The property is beautiful and very thoughtfully integrated with nature. The staff are outstanding in their attitude and kindness. We were travelling as a family including my mother who is in her 80s and she was a bit unwell for part of the trip. The caring approach of the staff towards her wellbeing was nothing short of exceptional."
Hyatt Centric Candolim Goa
"When we first checked in to the hotel (rooms 333 and 334), the rooms were clearly not dusted in a while (could see visible dust on the nightstands, lamps, water bottles, rods in bathroom etc.). The sofa had large spots and were dirty. The WiFi was spotty too (general property had 30+MBps while the room had a weak ~1MBps had frequent connection drops). We immediately called the reception and let them know about the issue. We felt we booked the wrong place for our stay. The staff's reaction turned the experience for us. They listened, they remembered and helped us move to a room that was according to our expectations. There was no follow up required, everything was seamless. They showed us the cleaned room before having us move. On the next day, they followed up by asking if we had a comfortable stay and according to our liking! The hotel has otherwise clean amenities. Our kids loved the swimming pool that had multiple depths catering to all ages. The kids had a good time at the activity center as well. The breakfast (and dinner) spread was amazing! The staff, especially Rocky, was super friendly. The chef paid extra attention to my father-in-law who had special food needs and customized the menu for him. All in all a highly recommended place. I will come back."
Alila Diwa Goa - A Hyatt Brand
"Everything about this place from check in to check out was amazing. The check in was seamless, the staff is extremely courteous and responsive. The two onsite restaurants are wonderful. The infinity pool and bar is perfect. We also got massages at the spa and Becky and Raziya were so professional. Valencia and the hotel staff were also wonderful. Highly recommend."
