The best chick value for money hotel in Goa ”

Starting from the outside the hotel is in a market the entry might not be that appealing but the moment you step in it gives a feeling of a 5 start. The reception is so cozy I saw people literally lazying on the reception couches. The reception staff is quick and courteous. We chose studio room which was quite spacious and is tastefully done. The tv panel can be rotated between the sitting are and the sleeping area. Room was pool view. Beds were quite comfortable, the shampoo smells heavenly. The kid enjoyed so much in the pool. Anyone traveling with family don't think twice before choosing this property. I chose to stay at other popular properties but this far is the best value for money and has very positive vibes. Loved my stay.

The best stay so far”

I had stayed here for a period of 3 nights and 4 days and we fell in love with the place. The hotel room was squeaky clean, the bed was so comfortable and the amenities were top class. I loved the breakfast and the service staff was so courteous and good to talk too. I had the best service in Bali but after visiting this place, I can say it matches my expectation of being the best service. The food is tad bit pricey but for the quantity and quality, we didn’t mind spending. One thing, however I would have liked is the wait time during the checkin. We were there at 2:30pm and had to wait for at least 30 mins to be assigned a room. The Wifi too isn’t great but it didn’t matter as I had my Jio dongle which worked fantastic. The room, the ambience, the food and the staff gets a 5-star from me and I would definitely be visiting the place again next month.

The hotel is located around 1.7 km from Calangute beach. Hotel rooms are good though there is not much open space in hotel to roam around. Swimming pool area was well maintained. Breakfast buffet was good although the space got congested at peak hours because of small area of restaurant. There was no dinner buffet and ala carte options were limited. Food quality was good.
