A relatively small, 2-storey, modern hotel located about 800m from Benaulim Beach. And relatively inexpensive compared to other chain hotels in the area. But no compromise on quality: very clean, contemporary rooms; possibly the politest, attentive hospitality staff I’ve encountered - from room cleaners upwards; good variety of food. The pool’s not huge but does its job and enough sun loungers to go around while I was there.
Not much to do nearby (ie. absence of the South Goa seaside dystopia), which makes for a quiet location.
Some easily walkable beach bars/restaurants. Local (and I do mean local) shopping, hairdressers, etc. about 1km away. More retail/services choice in Margao, 7km away. An off-meter wait-and-return taxi costs about INR1,000 for a couple of hours. I extended my stay by two days.
