Colva Residency

OK, it's an old property, OK it's not well maintained with wall plaster peeling out, OK the lawns are not too manicured, OK, the sea front rooms are shut for good having a leaking roof, OK, the employees are slightly gruff for first timers, OK, the entrance gives you a feel of entering a dungeon. But still I rate it is as good. Why? Not that my tastes have plummeted but because inspite of these shortcomings it is a sea fronted property with Colva beach just across the road and most essentially the available rooms are actually well maintained with manageable clean interiors & functional AC, all the while being within chirping distance of sea surf. The adjoining tourist market is a bargained delight & the hotels restaurant is surprisingly well managed with a thick menu card, affordable beer and rich succulent ( slightly oily) fare. Need I say more that there were only a handful of guest and the hotel had all the vibes you expect from Goa, including the constancy of a light music & ever smiling visages of the staff ( most if not all). Definitely would stay again.

It was a horrible stay. Mosquitoes bite my face and body. No basic amenities were there. The water bottle was already opened. No tv connection. No wifi. I never experienced this kind of service.

Good location at the beach. Restaurant has good food, service is very nice. Nice authentic goan food. Rooms are nice clean. Staff is very nice and polite. Only from outside building is not maintained.
