Dudhsagar Spa Resort

My friend and I came to describe this place as "deeply fine." It's not spectacular, but you can tell it used to be: the property has a lot of natural beauty and there are spaces on it that clearly used to be used for things like rope courses and swimming and such. However, it seems they have not recovered from COVID: the pool is opaque with algae, the ropes course has disappeared, and the facilities like the bar have only limited hours. It seems it used to be spectacular and could be again, but they haven't really put in the effort to revive it. There also aren't as many things to do in the area as are advertised on its website: the nearby spice plantation and wildlife preserve that advertise tours did not seem to be having them, or only had them at very limited times that we could not seem to get. Either that, or the one guy charged with driving the hotel taxi just didn't want to drive there that day...some of the staff that live there seemed a bit put out at having guests to work for. That being said, it has rooms with AC, it's on this beautiful piece of forest property, and it does have amenities. So...it's fine. You can do the falls and the temple in 24 hours, so it's good for a one-night stay. Pros: - air conditioned rooms -- key in Goa - some of the staff were very friendly and helpful - gorgeous property within a short trip to Dudhsagar falls and Tambdi Surla temple - the restaurant across the road is SPECTACULAR Cons: - property is a bit run down - not a lot else to do apart from Dudhsagar (which is really miraculously beautiful) and Tambdi Surla - sheets were dirty when we got to the room--they changed them immediately with apologies, but still....gross. Stay for 24 hours, not more: see the temple, sleep, go to the falls in the morning, relax in the afternoon, & head home.
