My stay at the hotel was truly exceptional! The access to the beach was just perfect, and I fell in love with the lovely swimming pool. The restaurant, where Mr. Canisio and his team served us, offered some authentic Goan dishes that were simply delicious. Every staff member was welcoming and attentive. I can't wait to return! However, I did notice that the location was a bit off the main tourist paths, which might not be ideal for everyone.
