Veling Holidays from £1,513

A beautiful hotel, exceptionally clean. A large wedding departed the day we checked in and another checked in while we were there. They book the majority of the hotel, so it does feel a bit like normal guests are surplus. Areas sectioned off, music pounding, wedding guests returning late at night, waking us. Our Air con broke, we told front desk, three hours later nobody had come, had to call again and someone was sent. Keys to our room stopped working so we were stuck in the hallway, again three calls and 40 mins for someone to bring new keys ( we were just out of the pool, so didn’t want to go to reception) My husband used the spa, which he said was perfect, but again, no one to help/assist on where to go once he checked in. Everything just felt a little like a battle, hiccups happen but it’s how they are resolved that leaves an impression.

I'd never been to Goa and didn't really know what I was doing and got incredibly lucky to choose the Sere Resort. My villa was spacious and fabulous. Beautiful design and amenities, clean, and with my own private little pool. The breakfasts were fantastic, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Like i said, i didn't know what i was doing, and feel incredibly lucky to have hit a home run on my first try here in Goa. I plan on coming back and will definitely stay here again.

Incredibly tranquil and would love to come back again. Very intimate and beautiful setting. Great facilities and the food was wonderful.
