I had a pleasant stay at the hotel which is nestled on a serene hilltop offering a beautiful view of the surrounding nature. The rooms were spacious and tastefully decorated, providing a comfortable experience. The service was incredibly responsive, always available on WhatsApp to assist me with anything I needed. However, the location is a bit remote, requiring some travel to reach nearby attractions. Overall, it was a good value for what I paid, but it might not suit those who prefer being closer to the hustle and bustle.

My stay at this resort was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious and offered a lovely view of the garden, which added to the relaxing vibe. The service was incredible, with breakfast delivered to my door, but the dining options felt a bit limited. The location on a hill was great for enjoying peace and tranquility, although it's a little far from Old Goa, which might not suit everyone. The amenities were well-maintained but still left some room for improvement.
