    Delicious food and very nice and helpful staff. It was a lovely place to come home to after a day of activities in Goa. We were always made to feel so special. The central pool helps to give the place a lovely atmosphere.

    Everything was just on point, very kind staff, attentive and helpful, the location was a bit far away from everything but that exactly what we were looking for. Breakfast was delicious, not many choose for the dinner but still tasteful.

Bambolim Bay and Siridao beach are 5 minutes away.
