I ( belgian guy) found this massage spa on Internet and booked by email. I was immediately in contact with the owner by whatsapp who sent me the spa menu. It s located on a very quiet place but worth the taxi ride. At the reception, Amal was very friendly. I was lead to a cabin where my therapist, a dark indian handsome guy , gave me a (very) little disposable underwear. The massage was very well done and professional, very oily and authentic Indian. It s not like in Western countries where you are covered by towels, here you are almost fully naked. Not for the shy guys. After massage ,i could take good shower . The place is very clean. Cant wait to go back !!! If you are in Goa, just try. It s awsome !

Traveling to GOA in itself is already wonderful, adding a trip to a local jeweler will turn it into an unforgettable experience. Manzoor created a stunning ring for me from topaz together with diamond and saffire. It reminds me of the sun and blue skies of GOA every time!

We have twice purchased a custom made diamond ring from this store. In 2013 whilst on holiday in Goa for the first time, a fellow guest at the hotel in which we were saying recommended the store to us. I had a beautiful brilliant cut solitaire diamond ring with halo made to my specification, which upon returning home we had valued at six times the price paid! I have enjoyed wearing this ring ever since and have had many many comments as to how beautiful it is. On returning to Goa this year, we had no hesitation in contacting the store again, in fact I emailed ahead of our holiday to enquire as to whether they would be able to supply a diamond in the cut of my choice (pear shaped) which could be made into a design of my choice. This time we had a very personalised service. Alex took the trouble to visit our hotel to show a selection of diamonds of varying quality and size. With Alex's guidance, I was able to choose a beautiful diamond, which very cleverly had been cut to appear 25% larger than it's weight in carats. This even fooled the professional jeweller in the UK, with whom I had a valuation for insurance purposes into thinking that the carat size was much larger than it was. Having chosen an amazing diamond, and discussed design of the ring with Alex, who understood the brief perfectly, and sketched the design I had described, he left with the promise to be in touch with updates on progress. We were in Goa for just one week, and in that time, I had regular updates from Alex including photos as to how the making of my ring was progressing. Alex delivered the finished product in person on our final night in Goa! At the same time, he kindly took my other rings and cleaned them professionally so that I felt like I was leaving with Goa with not just one but three sparkly new rings- what great service. I am absolutely over the moon with my new custom made ring. The valuation when I returned home was almost three times the amount paid and quality and clarity of the diamonds were exactly as Alex had described. Service from Alex was exemplary, and I also had the opportunity to meet some of his colleagues in other Jewels of India stores, all of whom were very helpful and pleasant. There was no hard sell, with products of this quality, there is no need. I would thoroughly recommend this store to anyone living or holidaying in Goa who would like to purchase amazing quality diamonds or other items at a price which is great value for money. Thank you Alex and all the teams at Jewels of India!

This spa is part of the Karma Royal Palms Resort. It’s spotlessly clean. Has a calm ambience and Sangita is a ray of sunshine at the desk. We decided to take the 4 day massage package. It was fabulous, each day it was a different massage and Arfina is excellent at her craft, she even massaged my eyebrows and earlobes????. Thank you for spoiling us.
