5 Star Hotels in Salcete, Goa

"The property and surrounding grounds are beautiful. I would not stay there again though. We arrived quite late at night and were disappointed when we arrived at our room as the bed sheets were damp and the room was very underwhelming for a 5 star hotel. By this time it was too late and we were exhausted so spent the night sleeping with damp sheets. We were contacted by the “butler service” which was really just a generic WhatsApp and they take a long time to respond. However once we raised our concerns about this another member of staff took over and was much more helpful. Our biggest frustration was that the property is advertised as having 3 pools but we were told we weren’t allowed to use the adults only pool as it was for the most expensive rooms only. On the first day we were unable to get a lounger at the pool we were allowed to use. The experiences the hotel offers are eye wateringly expensive. There was a mix up which I take some responsibility for where I had booked a dining experience for my wife’s birthday under the impression it was £150 only to find out hours before that it was £1,500 and when I said I didn’t want to continue with it I was told I would have to pay 20% cancellation fee however no cancellation fee was ever mentioned in the booking of the experience. There was also no way the experience could ever be worth £1,500. The staff are very nice but there is a clear agenda to get as much money out of the guests as possible and everything has a price."

"Beautiful resort with outstanding service and great food. "

"Clean, spacious room, friendly and attentive staff. The pool was temperature controlled and newly renovated. We had an excellent time here! The breakfast was excellent and the variety on offer was exceptional."

"A lovely relaxing hotel and the staff are very attentive. "

"There were unexpected charges related to the age of my children. I booked for two adults and two children but had to pay £230 extra for my oldest child upon arrival. Hotel subsequently realised that the charge was not entirely correct but only partially compensated me. The breakfast was excellent and the service at the breakfast was wonderful. However service at the restaurant during the dinners was less good. Hotel prices for the wine are not reasonable. More than £40 for a bottle of local wine (which is the cheapest option) is not market standard. Beach is wonderful and location and distance to the beach is perfect. Swimming pool and garden are outstanding. There were a lot of mosquitoes inside of our room and hotel, much less of them if dining in one of local huts on the beach. "

"This hotel was amazing, lovely atmosphere and amenities and the room was a great size! Rooms cleaned daily and one of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in. The breakfast is great too, it’s a buffet but with a range of made to order food including pancakes, waffles and omelets! The staff were so friendly, especially Bahurim in reception, who checked us in and we would catch-up with and get recommendations from during our stay when passing through reception! Would definitely recommend! "

"Booked for 4 people 2 kids 2 adults. When got ro room at 11 pm had to argue to get beds for childeen. They expected all 4 of us to share one bed. This was then again repeated on a second booking"

"Room was very clean and staff very attentive. Food at the hotel was delicious. A lot of variety. "
