*Warm smiles, great views, and staff that feels like sunshine* Checked into Novotel Panjim expecting a regular stay. Got a pleasant surprise instead. Ankita greeted us with the kind of smile that makes you feel instantly welcome. She even ensured we got a higher-floor room with a killer view. Win. We asked about renting a scooter. Before we could blink, she was already trying to arrange one for us. (We chose the scenic walk instead, but A+ for hustle!) The entire staff? Incredibly warm, courteous, and helpful. Usually, you're lucky to meet one genuinely nice person at a hotel. At Novotel Panjim, it felt like kindness was part of the uniform. The breakfast could use a bit more variety, but Nora's Cantina totally made up for it. Great food, even better cocktails, and a server who made us feel more like friends than guests. A special shout-out to Ankita for being the MVP. Warm, efficient, flexible with our checkout, and always just a message away. One of the best Novotel stays I’ve had (and I’ve stayed at a few). Honestly? I’d pick this place over several five-stars. Already planning round two.
