The hotel is very well maintained, and is very convenient to the beach because the exit from the property goes straight to the beach and the Calamari 'shack'. This hotel does not have rooms directly facing the beach, but was so close that it was fine. Other facilities such as the AC, tv, and wifi (not free 300 rupees for 24 hrs connect time) worked well as well. We took advantage of the free breakfast which was also good. Hotel staff was good.
Our room was quite nice, bathroom good, and there is a extra small room with a fridge, sink, small table and tea making accessories. Our room was on the ground floor .. my wife would have preferred one on the 1st floor (ie not ground floor) because that would have had a slightly better view .. esp if it overlooked the pool etc.
The hotel staff helped us get a driver for a 'tour' that we wanted for Goa. There were some specific places we wanted to visit and we wanted the driver to also know some english and be a bit of a guide. The driver the hotel found for us (Nitesh, +91 9158912988, 2500 for 1 day of driving)) worked out very well and we used him to drive us back to the airport (1300 rupees).
