Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5)
We had a pleasant and comfortable stay at Veera Marina in Candolim. It’s a well-maintained 2 BHK homestay ideal for families or small groups, especially for long stays. The kitchen is well-equipped with most essential utensils, and all appliances including the TV, fridge, AC, geyser, and microwave were in perfect working condition.
Housekeeping service is provided once a day, which keeps things manageable. The quality of mattresses was decent, and the washrooms were spacious enough. The overall vibe of the property is peaceful and homely.
The staff is courteous and responsive. A special mention to Rahul, who was incredibly humble and helpful throughout our stay — his support made our experience smoother.
Cons:
The dining table is a bit compact. For 4 adults, it may not be very comfortable for shared meals.
There are pool usage rules, but unfortunately, they’re not mentioned on the website. This should definitely be communicated clearly in advance.
A major inconvenience was the listing confusion — the property is tagged under “Alaya Stays” on MMT, but the actual name is “Veera Marina.” This caused quite a bit of confusion upon arrival, especially under the hot sun with a toddler. It took us over 30 minutes to identify the correct building even though we were already at the property.
Despite the minor setbacks, I would recommend this place for anyone looking for a calm and well-facilitated homestay in North Goa.
