The 10 best Specialty lodgings in Goa, India

May 7, 2023 Viva Honore

The sandy coast of Goa is perfect for reclining by the sea. Nestle into a cushioned chair at a beach shack and savor a curry while you sip a Kingfisher beer, watching the sun slip lazily below the horizon. In Old Goa, the beautiful Basilica of Bom Jesus is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a fine example of baroque architecture. Visit during Christmastime to experience a fantastic religious and cultural mash-up of East and West.

We visited the Royale Exotica hotel in the first week of June. The rooms were clean, staff was well mannered. The breakfast spread is good making sure kids to seniors will like it. The check in can be early. The staff helped us get at-least one room early. The best part it is nice hotel near to the beach. You can walk to the beach in 2 min They also provide packed breakfast if needed.

It's a space for like-minded, creative individuals to unwind and connect with self and nature.

Reviewed By sauravchaks

I seldom write a review while still at the destination. But when you get a hotel and staff that are constantly delighting then the rules have to be changed. I came to WTF with my family - 4 adults and 2 kids. We took the suite which was beautifully decorated with a lot of thought. It’s not a star hotel but the ambience , the details all have been done with a lot of though. We had the staff lay out our extra mattress without even us reminding. The reception phone was always picked up with a warm hello and your request immediately serviced. The food is simple awesome. We tried the kingfish fry and masala and it was heavenly. They arranged transport for us which was very economical. The owners themselves were serving guests throughout the day. Absolutely love their zeal. Keep it up folks. I will surely recommend this hotel to many

SinQ Party Hotel

India's First ever PARTY HOTEL.

Excellent Party Hotel

Reviewed By DrShantanuMukerji

Perfect location in North Goa with all the dazzle around, with shops, eateries, Candolim beach, shacks and spa’s. Hotel has an in-house discotheque which is very active with good crowd and lively ambience. Entry for in-house guest is complimentary but preferable to take the 2000/- couple package with unlimited drinks. Our Part Suites were quite spacious, themed with laser lights & colours and having nice balcony. Bathroom is a bit small and dimly lit, which can be improved. Room service is excellent and reasonable priced. Pool is fantastic. Breakfast spread is adequate. Special mention about the front desk staff who are quite helpful and very courteous, especially Ms Dona. Also would like to appreciate the efforts of Ms Joshabeth & Mr Durgesh.

Worst Management for such a nice property

Reviewed By Ana612198

The property is located in beautiful location but the pain area is the management behaviour. Check in time is 12 but we had to wait till 4pm to get a room. We booked 3 rooms with sea view but got only one and the other two rooms had restaurant and jungle view. We tried to speak with the owner, Loren/Lorraine who was too rude to accommodate any request for a change in room as we were told that we can leave the place if we do not like it. Since it was a weekend and we were around 10 people it was difficult to take a decision like that and had to adjust. The property and the restaurant staffs are really nice, but some steps should be taken for the management who does not bother once booking is done.

I had wonderful gateway with wife and son in Goa at this resort. The place is amazing with large size rooms with huge balconies for partying. The pool is big, clean and well maintained. Location is great as it's within vicinity of Goa famous tourist spot. Service was impeccable by all staff. Manish,Sunita ,Deepa and all team is just one call away for your help. Just few suggestions- Wifi need to be improved and there should before variety for breakfast. All the best team...... See you soon..
