Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a great choice for beach lovers, with spacious, clean rooms and friendly staff. While the dining could be improved, the overall value for money is decent. The private beach and pool add to the convenience and relaxation of the stay.
The hotel is in a wonderful location with a beach view and a relaxed atmosphere, ideal for those looking to unwind. The rooms are spacious but had a slight odor issue, however, they may feel cramped for the price paid. The service was exceptional with a personal touch in every interaction. The dining experience offered a wide variety, especially delicious South Indian dishes. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few room-related considerations.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms had an excellent view, were well-equipped, and even though not very big, the view of the sea was wonderful. The service was top-notch, and they truly made us feel special. The location right in front of the beach was exceptional, and the dining experience was superb. The facilities were great, making my stay all the more enjoyable.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The rooms had a slight urine smell, which was a downside, but they were also close to the beach, unlike many other resorts. The room decor was basic but kept my toddler entertained for hours.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were not in the best condition, but I had no complaints about them. The food was tasty, but it led to a crowded and chaotic scene, taking away from the laid-back, tranquil Portuguese ambience that I was hoping for. On the positive side, the hotel does not permit children to stay, which can be a plus for those looking for a peaceful retreat.
The hotel is fantastically located close to the beach and restaurants. Rooms are clean and comfy, though some improvements are necessary. The service is very friendly, but some payment issues impacted the experience. The dining options have room for enhancement, and the facilities are satisfactory.
The hotel offers a majestic beach view, clean rooms, and friendly service. However, the dining experience was ordinary, and the location could be improved for more excitement.
I had a mixed experience at this five-star hotel. The rooms, though spacious, clean, and quiet, were of poor quality. The dedicated staff, including Narayan, Raja, Ram, Monalisa, Suhail, Abhishek, Kamal, Ripul, Booram, Hlutei, Abhijit, Deepak, and Akshay, were hospitable and ever-smiling. However, any issues I had were consistently shrugged off.
I couldn't have asked for a better location – right beside the beach and steps away from the sea, with rooms offering a lovely sit-out balcony and a fantastic view. The service here was top-notch, with extremely helpful staff making our holiday a delightful experience. However, the dining was quite a letdown, with an uninspired buffet and lackluster coffee, and the price could be better for what you get.
