Well. In two words, the review can be summed up as - Exceeded Expectations. We've had an awesome experience at the Chandigarh branch, and with that in mind, I booked this property, for my first visit in Goa. Starting from scratch, we were lucky enough to have airport transfers included in our hotel booking, and that whole experience was a charm. We did meet the staff at the designated meeting spot, and were in a cab within no time. The drive was picturesque, winding down South Goa, with the driver sharing interesting tidbits and driving extremely well. The one down side to the property, it is a bit secluded, with nothing worthwhile in the walking distance, but that's the only major gripe we had. Welcome at the resort was exceptional, with courteous staff all around (all the staff that we came across was highly courteous throughout the stay, greeting everytime they crossed and assisting ang going beyond their way for that exceptional service). The welcome drink was tasty, the check in was a breeze and they did let us know the major highlights of our stay. The property is spotless, not a thing out of place, lawns maintained, rooms clean, pool shiny, and to top it off, the beach was the cleanest one till date that I've been too! That includes beating some good beaches from Thailand. Crystal clear waters and not a single bit of mess on the beach (which I observed was always being cleaned in the morning). No bad smells, no stray animals, nothing bad in place. There was a corporate event and a wedding too, but the service level was top notch throughout. Staff at 24 hour restaurant, Canacona were helpful too, especially Poltu, who had attended to us for our stay. In room dining headed by Priyanaka was top notch too, when they managed the portion size according to the number of people dining. There were certain aspects of the property that we still couldn't attend to within our 4 night stay period, since it's massive, like the miniature maze, hill for trekking among others. They include a mini map of the property in the rooms, which is a good guide for places to visit. The activities manager was good with follow ups when we requested for a Sunset Cruise. The Cruise people were nice and understood that I might not fare well for long at sea, took us for a Backwater visit in the Talpona visit before taking us out to the sea for experiencing the magical sunset view. The Golf Pro shop has professionals who did help us amateurs learn about the basics of the game, and how to putt on the greens. The gift shop has some good options for souvenirs. There are also some drinks and also for buffet that change with the days, which did help bring down the food bills for us considerably. Finally, on the day of the checkout, the staff were quick to help us settle the outstanding amount, over various methods of payment, and also get us on time to the airport. All in all, highly recommended place with exceptional property, great staff and great experience for families for sure. Thanks again for reinforcing our trust in your property @TheLalit group.
