Bhagwan Mahaveer Sanctuary Holidays from £702

My eight and four year old kids loved the pool, the food … and so did my wife and I. Above all the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The hotel offered a delightful peaceful retreat after our somewhat stressful travels in India with kids. We could relax in the well kept gardens and pristine pool. The hotel itself is charming. It honors and reflects all of the diverse cultural influences shaping Goa. Parts of the old Portuguese house over which the hotel was built have been tastefully preserved and it’s heritage highlighted with colorful tiles.

Stayed here for two nights and it’s a wonderful spot. There are so many restaurant choices nearby for all tastes and meal sizes, and it’s right in the water so your life is simple! Breakfasts are delicious and the team are all very helpful. Perhaps sometimes, considering there were children at the hotel, the courtyard garden they would allow guests to play music a bit too late. But that’s the only issue!
