Location:
The resort boasts direct beach access, making it a great spot for anyone who loves staying close to the sea. The atmosphere around the property is relaxing and peaceful, with pleasant ambience throughout the resort.

I personally love dogs, but as I was traveling with a toddler, this was a minor concern.

Value:
Although I enjoyed many aspects of my experience, including the food and cleanliness, I did feel that there are better hotel options available at a similar price point in South Goa.
