Vivienne E TripAdvisor review

Probably the best holiday my friend and I have been on and we travel a lot. The hotel is beautiful and the grounds are immaculate. All of the staff, from reception to the gardeners are super friendly and work very, very hard. The food is great with a lot of variety, especially if you're vegetarian which I'm not, but which I ate most of the time. The rooms are spacious with large bathrooms and Vivesh showed off his artistic side by turning towels into animal shapes. There were two Hindu weddings while we were there which were so colourful and happy with musicians playing at breakfast and at the ceremonies themselves. The first wedding was the best where you felt you were actually joining in when the bridal party made its way down to the pagoda on the beach. The men and women looked fabulous in their colourful clothes and so friendly. We didn't use the pool as we are beach people and the soft cream sands are a joy to walk on. You can walk for miles and not see anyone. The shacks on the beach provide the beach umbrellas for free but it's only polite that you buy a bottle of water or lunch at the shacks. They are very good value for money. There is entertainment in the dining room most nights and bands play in the bars/restaurants in the village outside of the resort. The village is small with a variety of shops and jewellers. We discovered Maruti at Classic Tailors in the village who made dresses, shirts etc and alterations for us. He is a professional and we couldn't keep away from his shop. We thoroughly recommend the Colonial Tour with Max, the guide. It was action packed and he was very informative on the history of Goa with its Portuguese influences. The tour includes a tuc tuc ride and a return on an Indian train - an experience - and a fabulous lunch at one of the colonial houses. There are only two improvements we would make in the resort. The first is to instruct an aquarobics teacher who does daily workouts (apparently the original left) and also install a beach towel pick-up and drop-off at the entrance to the beach. That's it! All in all, a fabulous holiday and well worth booking. Thank you staff and we hope to come back.

I'm quite happy with the stay. Mr. Hari has always been there to help and so are others. However at the breakfast and during lunch the staff are more keen to please the foreigners rather than Indian citizens.

We stayed for 2 weeks in an upper floor room of a bungalow. Room was great, food was great and service and staff were absolutely wonderful. Big shout out to Kalpesh from housekeeping who was so helpful and all the bar and waiting staff who were so friendly. Location was good too, on the beach and easy access to shops and restaurants. We will definitely come back.
