Dona Paula Beach

Happy New Year from Goa!! Had the most surreal night ever!! Drinks under palm trees, an incredible live Blues band, yummy Chicken Burgers, conversations about why Ben is not welcome in Perth, sneeking into a party from the back door, being kicked out - just to do it all over again and successfully remain incognito until having to bribe the doorman with a beer, an Estonian being kissed by a New Zealander (she appeared out of nowhere and the look on his face was priceless), new Indian friends who thought they had a British accent, a random Dalmatian walking around, being invited for drinks meaning it was the cheapest New Year's ever, more Chicken Burgers, Goan beer tasting like Chocolate, pink flying lanterns and so much more....what a random night!! Happy New Year to y'all!!! May 2015 bring you more of the unexpected, one serendipity moment after another and immeasurable BLISS - because YOU, like everyone else, deserve to be happy!!

The hotel was clean the staff were friendly, there English was a limited. The pool was in the shade 90% of the time and had limited sun beds.We felt the hotel was more geared for Indian guests.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (4 reviews)
The staff was especially accommodating when we first arrived. They helped to arrange transportation from the airport and gave us a wonderful tour of the entire facility. We enjoyed the massages and the yoga class. The facility is wonderfully relaxing and beautifully maintained. The only disappointing part was our departure. We had an early flight so we arranged to have someone help us with our luggage so we could check out early. When they didn't show I went to the reception desk to checkout and get help with the luggage. The person there could help me with our luggage but they couldn't check us out. I would still recommend this place and would come again!
