Stayed here for 10 nights in February, I had read that maintenance especially in the bathrooms was an issue, whilst yes our bathroom was in need of attention everything was clean and worked, rooms where only cleaned upon request and we where made aware of this so not a problem. The hotel itself was in a great location with beach access and beautiful well maintained gardens. All staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble always service with a smile .Breakfast was good with plenty of choice and lovely fresh omelettes. The pool was always clean and plenty of seats loungers and towels. Reception staff were excellent and always helpful. We had a very enjoyable stay at O PESCADOR in bay view room 23, upgraded bathrooms would make it perfect.
We had a largely pleasant stay at this hotel in Goa during mid-Jan 2026, and it is well suited for travellers looking for a quiet, laid-back holiday. We opted for their Harbour view rooms. The setting is beautiful, and the sunset views are especially heartwarming — perfect for slowing down and soaking in the moment.
The food was good and consistently enjoyable, and the service staff were polite, attentive, and genuinely helpful. Their warmth and responsiveness made a noticeable difference to our experience.
However, the property does need better maintenance. During our stay, we encountered an unexpected inconvenience related to the condition of the room, which could have been uncomfortable. To their credit, the hotel management responded immediately, acknowledged the issue, offered alternatives, and ensured that the matter was addressed with care and professionalism.
We chose to continue in the same room to avoid further disruption, and the rest of our stay was comfortable and peaceful. While there is definite scope for improvement in upkeep, the beautiful views, relaxed atmosphere, and supportive staff ensured that we still left with mostly positive impressions.
With better maintenance, this place has the potential to be an excellent retreat for a slow and restful Goan break.
Hotel located in beautiful cove with brilliant scenic views. Hotel staff really do a great service to make holiday special, swimming in cove is beautiful but odd occasion be mindful of large waves. Bad points which need attention swimming pool is discoloured with orange discolouration which will stain swimsuits, clean laundry often stained this applies to towels and bed linen. Room cleaning is not routine and has too be requested. Rooms require updating especially grouting in tiles and shower very low pressure and outdated. On the whole cleaning is satisfactory. Be aware hotel next door is a wedding venue and quite often they are constructing and dismantling equipment in early hours of morning which can impact your sleep. Limited bars and restaurants near hotel resort will need taxi to access more options. On the whole good holiday very restful and relaxing.
Pros-Location and view awesome....food is also good.. Cons- Extremely slow room service and also food service....Corridor and stairs dirty....At this price better service and maintenance is deserved
Heart of Dona Paula, minutes away from Panjim lies this hidden beauty! You could not get closer to the beach than this. Away from the crowds outside. Beautiful gardens and well maintained pool. Lovely food. A quiet bar. The balcony is a great place to enjoy the peace and quiet with a good book.
