Not a 5-star property. We booked a stay for 5 nights for our 1st wedding anniversary and are very clear that we will never ever stay at any of The Lalit's property ever again! They even forgot to get a cake on our anniversary. If they had not promised this then we would've arranged it on our own. They only love conferences as we could see their staff scampering for the babus of NABARD but not for common folks. Breakfast is as horrible as it can get, maybe even worse than a 2-star hotel! Only the garden and pool are good. The beach is not private, just away from the rest of the goa and hence, has fewer people. There are 2 rivers that flow into the sea around Lalit and hence the water at the beach extremely sandy and salty.. It's just a 5 star on paper.. nothing like a 5-star property. We wanted to do special dining but looking at how things went in the initial days, booked the LEELA instead. LEELA charges twice the amount of LALIT but is 100 times better. Don't waste your money on Lalit, especially if you're coming for a special occasion!
