Benaulim hotels

Cons: If going to Goa, don't think twice. Book Taj Exotica Resort and Spa

Pros: Everything was amazing. The staff were all well mannered friendly and helpful. The facilities for couples as well as families or even just single people are well thought of to keep you entertained. The spa treatments are a must try I wish I had more time to experience their holistic therapies. We felt safe and well taken care of

Cons: The only thing which seemed a bit strange for a beach location was that they did not have any waiters for the beach bed area. U would have to order and wait for your drinks and then go back to the beach beds

Pros: Fantastic place! Very attentive staff, nice territory, good spa procedures, comfortable bed!

Cons: No evening activities, too expensive food

Cons: Beds and pillows need to be more firm

Pros: Amazing hotel and awesome location! Everything was lovely, we enjoyed so much our stay!! Many thanks for the upgrade and for the sweet birthday surprise! We will be back!!

Cons: Nothing, everything was perfect!!

Pros: Perfect location, beautiful grounds and wonderful staff, what you would expect for a 5 star hotel in the Taj Group.

Cons: Unfortunately even though it is a beautiful place there is no atmosphere, they could do a lot more, they have plenty of space, no speciality evenings or entertainment, just happy hour, even that was empty. The restaurants were empty also, even though the hotel was full, they seem to put a lot of effort into people who hire the venue for occasions, and not the tourist. One other thing, check carefully when booking a room, we upgraded to Garden Villa with plunge pool, which was much more expensive than the Villa with plunge pool and hardly any difference except for a little larger seating area which is not needed.

Pros: Excellent Property, Premium Friendly & caring Service. Great ambience for a totally relaxed and pampered holiday ! Wonderful staff. The star of the property was Sumesh Nair, Restaurant Manager, who led by example and exemplified the spirit of the Taj. Have never experienced such personal as we did from Sumesh. Sumesh was well assisted by Amit Kesri and the others. Reception was exceptionally handled by Piush & Jai Misra. They were quick and had immediate solutions. Annette from the Concierge was very dedicated and always made that extra effort in guest relations. And was Ver Helpful

Cons: The Food could have been much better.

Pros: Although not in centre of resort we preferred the location. There are some very good restaurants nearby to try. The staff are so warm and friendly and I must mention Mr Khan, Calvin, and all the restaurant and bar staff in hotel as they were so lovely and helpful. The breakfast was good and they do evening shows with food as well as a full a la carte menu. The rooms are a good size with digital safe.

Cons: I can’t think of anything

Pros: Bed was comfortable, masala omelettes very good. In general enjoyable stay

Cons: Nothings springs to mind.

Pros: Everything. Amicable people. Non-interfering people. Humble and sweet. The food was delicious. Lots of blessings for making every penny count.

Pros: Joecons beach resort has a lovely pool, nice location and helpful staff.

Cons: I was surprised to see thst the mini bar was not stocked! Althought the staff did explain that I didn't order for the service, I would have preferred to see it stocked with charges applicable as per usage.

Pros: Staff are helpful. Amazing ambiance. Clean rooms. Breakfast value for money.

Cons: WiFi connection is extremely bad

Cons: · We used a small towel here. If we wiped our hands when we wiped some oil, then the hotel charged us 300 rupees, they said it was bad, I mean what are the towel for use.

Pros: Spacious apartments

Cons: Breakfast could be better and pool wasnt operational

Pros: We were allowed to checkin at 8AM which was very helpful as we’d travelled the whole night. Very good breakfast spread. Beach shuttle on hourly basis to the very lovely trinity beach. 3 balconies in our 2 bedroom apartment which was a Major plus point. Very nice pool area.

Cons: The mattress in one of the rooms was hard which made it very uncomfortable to sleep. Spray jet in one of the bathrooms was broken and was not fixed after multiple requests. AC swinger was not working.

Many of the complimentary items / facilities to be closely expedited with the staff to receive.

Pros: Almost every thing

Cons: Transport

Pros: The beach is just 5 min walking distance from the resort.

Cons: I booked a suite on your web site and received a email from the hotel giving me 7 days to pay in full or they would cancel my booking this payment had to be paid via bank transfer not credit card on arrival I asked if my suite was nice I was told lovely on receiving my key found out that they had given me a 1 bed apartment with no WiFi in room or reception the room was dirty/ tv not working/ fridge door broken/ air conditioning made a noise like a plane taking off I went to reception and asked to see the manager he was not available in about 1 hour the reception manager came to meet me he said there was nothing wrong with the room I asked for 50% of my money back he made a call and said it was company policy not to refund on leaving I found out this is not a hotel but a residential complex

Pros: Everything.except food.

Cons: Bad sea food,for a coastal resort. Overall food was a 3/10

Pros: Everything

Cons: Food

Pros: Staff were great especially Raisa at Front of House and Joseph at Catering and Bar. Both did their utmost to make our stay welcoming and comfortable.

Cons: Using the term Deluxe is a little distant from the Oxford dictionary : luxurious / scrumptious Superior would have been more apt but I'm just nitpicking It's really good value for money.

Pros: The staff were great and the pool was great at the end of the day

Cons: With all of the fresh fruit available in Goa, more at breakfast would have been nice

Pros: Love how spacious and safe the room was. The shower was impeccable and when I needed tv fixed it was handled straight away.

Cons: Nothing. Can't fault this place.

Pros: Location

Cons: Very basic rooms, double the price of similar quality rooms in other nearby hotels/ apartments. Unbeknownst to our party consisting of 4 adults in two rooms, we booked basic (classic) rooms. As a Brit we have certain standards that weren’t met by these rooms.

Pros: The morning breakfast is good but little bit expensive. Should provide complimentary breakfast for the guests than charging. The Resort location is good and it is near to the beach.

Cons: Resort garden trees should be taken care because some of the trees are weak to fall.

Pros: friendly staff decent pool hotel layout

Cons: internet signal poor and kept going off

Pros: Food and drink

Pros: Breakfast was quite basic but good. There is a path to the beach which is close. Room quite basic but regularly cleaned. All staff are very friendly

Cons: The pool is nice but you have to approach the staff based in the restaurant to order poolside drinks and snacks The staff are not very proactive and only do one task at a time ie getting a drink and getting a poolside umbrella moved takes 2 separate members of staff!

Pros: The location is the best - its the only property actually on the beach where from the balcony bedrooms you have a sea view. There are only two of these rooms but mine had a nice fridge and the wifi and hotwater worked well (to say this is India :) ) Rooms were clean and a good selection of breakfast items to order. Great location for a number of food beach shacks, massage places (one on site but very popular so you need to book well in advance) and restaurants too - I totally recommend Cavatina which is only 5 mins away on foot - inland.

Cons: Not much to say here.....service at times could be a little hit and miss but the guys were all super friendly and I wasn't in a rush as I was on my holidays.

Pros: The location was second to none, 10 steps to the water, the staff were excellent, the food in the restaurant and breakfast was also excellent. Would recommend.

Cons: The shower water pressure.

Pros: There are a lot of things we liked at Pele's. 1. Firstly the owner Mr Ronnie, amazing guy. Since we had gone to Goa on a bicycle, we wanted safe parking for our rides and he took special care for the same. In fact, we had parked our bicycles at his home (This is very rare you get to see). 2. Awesome location. it's a beach property, clean & spacious rooms. Loved it. I want to again go just for the location! 3. Safe place!!

Cons: Like, I liked few things at Pele's, there are couple of things didn't really go well. 1. Food & alcohol timings. I'm very sure the kitchen has to be closed at a certain time. But at 10.30 pm sharp & no orders post that time was bit strict, considering its a tourist spot & generally most of us reach the hotel late. (It is only a suggestion, you can ignore this). 2. This point is not about the suggestion, we felt the place is bit more biased towards the foreign crowd (not that they hate Indians here). But, certainly, the way they treated both foreign & Indian guests was quite evident. Few incidents happened with us. One of our friend who woke up late & came for breakfast at 1040am (cutoff was at 1030 am), he was told the breakfast was over and we ourself noticed the breakfast was served to a foreigner who arrived at 1045am, we were seriously not in a mood to argue, so we let that go. In any means, this is totally not acceptable. We pay the same amount mentioned on the website & not anything less. 3. The most annoying part was uncalled for orchestra by a bunch of people in the late night (post 1130 pm) in the lobby/public sit-out area. They were all drunk & kept on singing very very loudly in a group which was certainly a great piece of a nuisance for others. We have no issue at all if they are enjoying at a mild pitch & everyone is entitled to have fun, but not at the cost of other guests. We observed even a hotel guy was part of the very loud party. (just for the sake of understanding, if we had done the same nuisance, completely drunk & singing loud songs disturbing other guests, had the hotel staff allowed us to go on?). Anyway, we would be really considerate about other guests.

Their cleanliness was appaulling ,tables were dirty I had to ask every time to clean them they never try to replenish the fruit, it was only one variety watermelon small small pieces , I missed two days breakfast on purpose I did not like it.

Cons: Only one towel for 2 people & no bath mat so after showering floor was slippery..

Cons: Bathroom amenities could be improved.

Pros: I liked the room service. It was neat and clean and hygiene was at its level best. Moreover, the room service was dedicated and hard working.

Cons: The reception team was okay due to one lady who seemed to be out of place. The rude responses given by her was completely opposite to the otherwise hospitable and dedicated work done by the room service and other hotel staff. It looked like they had only hired her because they wanted someone to speak English. Need to hire trained professionals for reception and not merely hire people to throw English jargon at guests.

Cons: Iam really happy with the staff except one lady,a receptionist. Don't fit for hospitality business.she don't know how to speak, what to speak and how to deal with the guest. Very casual approach

Pros: About 2 km to the airport,so was ideal for an early flight. Check in was straight forward and the building looked as if it has recently been refurbished. The room was modern and very clean,although the telephone was grubby. Air con and wifi worked well. Ordered room service for an evening meal, which was tasty,hot and well presented.
