Vagator hotels & places to stay

We got a chance to stay at their 'Party huts' as well as the 'Suite'. Both had their own charm. While staying at the party huts we experienced the Saturday party night and few performances at the famous Antares restaurant, all this while sitting in our own room's balcony. This room type is for the party lovers. On the other hand, the suite was quieter and really spacious. The highlight for our entire trip was the breathtakingly amazing view from the private balcony of this suite. We sipped morning coffees in our balcony with the peaceful sound of the beach waves, so serene and beautiful. As this is a beach property, we really enjoyed the direct access to the little Vagator beach. The staff was very helpful and attended to us promptly. The resort manager went an extra mile to make our holiday special and memorable, appreciate his hospitality. I can only suggest to keep the food in the buffet warm as it got cold very soon. Overall a very good experience.

It has to be said, I initially booked my stay at another hotel but after one night, I felt uncomfortable and immediately booked the remaining days at W Goa. The comfort, kindness and quality service received from all the staff was great! One thing that stood out noticeably was the ever present friendly smile across everyone I interacted with from W Goa. There was nothing I was denied in terms of request and that goes far, especially when its 4am in the morning, you can’t sleep and all you want is a Bombay masala toasted sandwich!! So to all the W Goa team (security guards at the gate, welcome guards, front desk, bar staff, house keeping, waiters, chefs and anyone else whom I have missed! You made my stay evermore pleasant as a solo guest! Wonderful people. Thankyou and I will be back.

Our stay at the Shunya Noi Varo Villa was truly exceptional. The staff were amazing helpful in everyday, the villa was amazingly clean, the pool was perfect to cool off or for laps, and the food was the best we had in India. Really the chef would put most 4 star restaurants anywhere to shame but stays as we understand it because he enjoys cooking for small groups who really appreciate his food. We were able to get a driver 2 of our days for quite a reasonable rate to go visit the coast and to take a trip to the spice plantation but otherwise found relaxing at the villa and eating our meals there to be a truly special treat. Would recommend for couples or for a family group.

This is definitely one of my best experiences in a hostel . The reception is small but very helpful. The rooms are basic and I stayed in a standard double room ( preferred in the same building ) but the experience was breathtaking. The pool is nice and cosy and the ambience is very serene . The bar and the pool area is the highlight of the hostel . Such delicious cocktails and you can have chilled beer at very decent price and believe me the drinks are yummy and I believe the ambience is just so great . It will take couple of hours to sync in and you start enjoying in a bit but do not expect to have fun right when you enter the hostel . There are activities at the pool/bar area and the owners/volunteers are always doing something to engage you. It’s the best place to socialise and get to know new people without any inhibition . The reception can help you with bike rent and airport cabs . Another highlight is the mango tree bar just outside the hostel . It has the best food , music

we stayed in a premium room and were very happy with the place. the bed is super comfortable - the best one we had in the five hotels we stayed at in india. the room is a good size and they have wired internet available in it. the extra touches like the in-room safe, bathroom fan, and large flat screen tv (though common in the west, quite rare in india) were nice. the service from the staff was excellent and it was nice having a pool on the property (although the water was almost too warm). the place is spotless and the groundskeeping immaculate and they even have a security guard at the gate (although all he ever needed to do was chase a stray dog away once). the hotel is 10 minutes walk from vagator/ozram beaches and there are 6 or 8 restaurants within a 5 minute walk from the hotel - we liked jackie's daynite and moon beam (yes, cheesy names but the food was good). the property does have a restaurant but only serves a mediocre, though acceptable for convenience, breakfast and snacks. vagator is a fairly quiet beach yet has a good selection of beach shacks to get food or drinks from. the nearby roads are safe for scootering around. there are several convenience stores in the near vacinity and a doctor's office within 3 blocks. you are a bit further away from the bigger beaches should those interest you but you can easily get to them on a scooter. calangute is perhaps 30 minutes by scooter and anjuna perhaps 20. definately recommend the hotel as a very relaxing place to stay with some nice touches that are rare in india. and loved that super comfortable bed!

First thing, standards in India a bit lower so don't expect that much. The room was quite good, bed was a really hard, but that's india. The hosts are really friendly and try to help with every question. All needed things are in walking area. To the Vagator beach 3 min A breakfast restaurant I can recommend ist "Jaws Bakery" A Bar/Restaurant I can recommend it's "Mango Tree" A bus station to Mapusa is about 10 mins walk away and costs only 30 Rupees

Phone to call the reception does not work. TV does not work because the subscription is not paid for. There is no concept of room service. They also on the first day gave me a private scooter instead of a yellow plated one which is what tourists need to have. The cops made me pay a fine of 1000. The hotel paid the money back, however I wish they would have given me a correct scooter in the first place. There is a white lady who works there. Probably one of the owners. She is the only nice warm person on that property. Food is nice though. Breakfast is nice.

This was my 6th visit to goa, we decided to stay in vagator during july 2016, monsoons. I would say this was the best decision instead of living on the same old, calangute or baga areas. - Beautiful location, Good rooms, friendly staff. - I would have preferred a bigger pool and better parking. But that okay! Overall, i recommend this place to couples and family people. If you like party, music and night life. Then this not the place u should look for.

I stayed here with my sister when I was in town to celebrate my birthday. It's located very centrally in Vagator, right next door to Thalassa (a well-known restaurant and landmark). It's walking distance to the beach and a few restaurants/clubs, which made it ideal for us. The view of the sea from the deck is unbelievable, and in my opinion is one of the best in Goa. I also found the area and hotel quite safe, and ideal for women travelling alone. The staff is polite and helpful and the room was clean, but there were a few minor things such as the A/C or TV not functioning properly at times, and frequent (short) power cuts. But since we were out most of the day, it wasn't much of a concern. Overall we enjoyed our stay and didn't have any complaints. I would definitely stay here again!

they dont have duplicate keys for the room. Unfortunatly My two frnz met accident and they had the keys with them. they were admitted to the hospital and two of us were enjoying the vagator beach, I get a call from hospital about incident. we ran towards the hotel and ask the receptionist to open the room with the duplicate key and take some money from our bags and change our dress to go to hospital ASAP. but the receptionist said to wait he will get the key . But ridiculously he's calling back and said there is no duplicate key wait untill your frnz come with keys. How rude was he, I was astonished with his behaviour. How can injured person come and give us the keys for the room. Had a very bad experience.

Our stay is really perfect the hotel staff very cooperative and professional and the did our best to make our stay comfortable. They are very nice people. The hotel is very close to resturants and many places to go. I really loved the place and enjoy the vacation. The hotel is very clean and all what you need you can find it in this hotel. Food is good and you can also do oeder from outside.

The good bits: Drinking water is free. Showers are hot. TV has BBC and two English movie channels. Two beaches are 20 and 30 minutes walking. Room service is supplied by external restaurant and food is fine - see item under "Bad Bits." The owner is very personable and went out of his way to make sure I had what I needed. The staff has limited English and do their best to accomodate. The bad bits: The laundry, although reasonable, was not fully dry when returned to me. The restaurant doesn't open until 10:30 am - so much for breakfast. I actually ordered an omlette for dinner and they said... sorry, that's only available for breakfast! The bank down the road doesn't do FX and the ATM didn't work for me. Wifi is only available in the internal courtyard and works well most of the time. The hotel phone number supplied by Agoda is incorrect and owner is aware of that but is unable rectify. The correct number is 9881971729. Prepaid taxi cost from airport is 1300.

It was an OK experience, nothing great. The hotel is located in a serene and calm place, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Renting a bike was very easy as the person next door to the hotel gives bikes on rent. Baga, Calangute and Anjuna are about 15-20 mins ride from the hotel. The river passing by the hotel was not very clean, I think the drainage water was left in the river. The standard rooms were good and clean but not worth the amount paid. Breakfast was alright. Swimming pool was nice. The hotel staff was kind enough to give me an early check in, kudos to them for the overall service provided.
