Prime location just a 5-minute walk to Candolim Beach
Surprisingly quiet pool area despite being on the main road
Breakfast buffet that actually includes fresh pastries and hot Indian options
Quick Take: A solid, compact 3-star hotel that punches above its weight on service but loses points for the lack of parking and on-site gym.
Reviewed by @thatgirl_nikitaa: I spent a weekend here and honestly, the pampering was next level. From the foam bath to the private cooking class, I felt totally spoiled. It’s the perfect North Goa hideaway if you want luxury without the chaos.
Guest Who Stayed Here Said
The hype
Travelers consistently praise the helpful staff and the 'oasis' vibe in a busy area, but often wish the property was larger.
Reality check
Garden Rooms face the street and suffer from significant traffic noise; the 'resort' label is a bit of a stretch for a property with only ~24 rooms.
You plan to spend all day at the beach or exploring and just need a clean crash pad
You are traveling without a car
You appreciate a smaller, more intimate hotel where staff remember your name

Rooms to avoid
Garden Rooms facing the main road (constant honking)

Room Request Genie – copy & paste
“I am a light sleeper and would like to request a top-floor Poolside Room, specifically away from the street-facing side of the building to minimize traffic noise.”
