Whispering Palms Beach Resort

Nice hotel close to beach nice food. Staff very helpful would recommend

We spent four weeks here, staying over Christmas and New Year. The staff were excellent, friendly and attentive. Food was really good offering good Goan curries and also traditional English food. We both had a fantastic time and we will definitely be returning!

2 to 3 star hotel run on shoe string basis. The estate is dotted with 2 storey breeze block maisonettes with steep steps to rooms on first floor. In fact all steps leading to small entrance lobby or down to pool area are steep. There are no grab rails.Not mobility or disabled friendly. There was only 1 restaurant with buffet food and 2 small food stations at end of dining area. Tables and mats were never wiped clean after one set of guests finished eating. Hospitable, well meaning and proactive waiting staff but they lacked sense of hygiene as I don’t recall seeing anyone using hand sanitizer. Awful buffet food. Cooks were headed by a clueless Goan executive chef. All positive comments on food are written by Indian guests on short stay breaks or attending work conferences. They love a little variety thrown in for them with South Indian deep fried doughy food and excessive cheese filling in anything. Every lunchtime and dinner fare would include repetitive on the bone chicken curry In different guises, couple of seasonal vegetable curries, boiled and pullau style rice, fresh salad, same deep fried “mahee” fish with small fillet pieces marinated in different spices or herbs from one day to next and chicken drumsticks served in sticky sweet and sour sauce with or without noodles or stir-fried peppers and naan. Sadly most curries were laced with hot chilies. Not for western palate. Many guests from northern England were putting together chip butties and washing down food with on tap larger beer. Except for two the other frequently changing staff at the reception seemed unintelligent to comprehend anything guests were asking. We certainly would not return to this hotel. I also doubt if it would survive as just a stones throw away a swanky large hotel was being built.

AJIT is our housekeeper (we are still at the resort - we leave tomorrow) he has excellent communication skills; professional and always willing to help - extremely efficient in maintaining our room - thank you AJIT for all your help - see you when we return..

Whispering Palm Beach Resort is a place that will stay in my memory for a long time. The service was very friendly and professional, especially Mr. Shekharu, who was always helpful and made sure I felt comfortable. The rooms were spacious and clean, and the resort is located close to the beach, making it an ideal place to relax. The atmosphere was very friendly, and my stay was full of enjoyment. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation in a pleasant atmosphere.

Wouldn’t recommend very expensive and our room was badly in need of total refurbishing. We paid extra for sun terrace but it was totally unusable with constant heavy leaf fall from trees. Patio doors needed replacing and bathroom was full of mould. After we left we realised that we should’ve got a 10% discount on drinks purchased this didn’t happen
