Hotels near The Holy Cross Chapel Monte Villa, North Goa

The highest standard service!!! The best breakfasts and dinners , as foreigners we could try the local cousine which is awesome!! The staff is super friendly and helpful. We really appreciated their hospitality so that we decided to extend our stay. It’s a 4 star ⭐️ hotel however thanks to its staff’s approach for me it should be ranked as 5 ☺️ Everything was clean and I felt taken care of. I definitely recommend staying at this property! You won’t regret it!

We had a fortnight at the Aldeia Santa Rita [ASR] and found it to be staffed by a welcoming, friendly, and professional team. The hotel itself has lovely gardens throughout and plenty of palm trees, which allow for lots of birds, chipmunks, and other local fauna. Rooms: A very traditional Portuguese villa style/looking hotel, the rooms are much the same, although some are of a higher standard than others. These rooms seem to be the ones on the main walk through and face the pool. We really liked the traditional feel and found our rooms to have all we needed, with the exception of a comfy bed. The mattress was very hard, thin, and laid on a solid wooden frame. We did ask for a topper, which helped to an extent. So just be aware. Two fans and air con ensured we could keep cool when needed. Very nice bathroom with a decent shower, and it all looked pretty new. There is no safe/safety deposit box in the rooms. These are all in reception, and you must provide your own locks. We had a first-floor room and would choose this again as it gave more privacy. It was also good to have tea and coffee making facilities plus a full-size fridge. Food: All buffet style with the exception of ”a la carte” nights [every other night]. We definitely had some very nice food on the couple of evenings we did eat at the ASR including a selection of curries and some nice soup . Although we were booked All Inclusive, we had no intention of being so as there are some very good restaurants in Candolim. Otherwise, the food was very much aimed at domestic tourists, so some may find a very limited choice at both breakfast and dinner. Fresh eggs , omelette etc where readily available and cooked to order each breakfast. There was a very efficient toaster and fresh porridge, 1 type of fruit and usually 4/5 hot dishes which, as I've said, were mostly Asian inspired. Overall, the quality of the food was average, in our opinion. Pool: Very nice pool, well maintained, fair amount of sunbeds for the most part. However, there were not enough areas of shade/umbrellas, and it did get very hot. The world famous sun bed baggers were very much in evidence, and many beds were bagged but unused until later in the day. This is annoying whatever hotel or country you're in! One downside, the ants and other small insect critters. These were seen crawling all over the sunbeds throughout the day, and on the day I stayed by the pool (morning) , my bed was under attack all the while. The ants were even more active from about 1630hrs onwards. Not a pleasant situation and 3 of us were bitten, but it evidently did not bother the many who stayed at the pool every day. Location: Very much situated at the Fort end of Candolim, fair to say you're in Sinquerim. It is a fairly quiet location which is nice and it's a good walk to the busier parts of the resort. Taxis are available at the hotel if needed. Negative for us: the ” entertainment ” . This was mediocre at best with only a couple of ac

Alright, let's craft a generic hotel review: - *hotel stay review* i recently had the pleasure of staying at a charming hotel during my trip. From the moment i arrived, i was impressed by the warm welcome from the staff. The check-in process was smooth and efficient, and i was delighted to find my room well-appointed and impeccably clean. Throughout my stay, the hotel staff went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and satisfaction. The amenities provided, such as the fitness center and on-site restaurant, added to the overall convenience and enjoyment of my experience. One aspect that particularly stood out to me was the attention to detail in the hotel's design and decor. The ambiance was elegant yet inviting, creating a relaxing atmosphere that made it easy to unwind after a busy day of sightseeing.

Perfect location. Close to Panjim city, restaurants and ******s. Hotel is very nice. Great breakfast buffet and nice pool and gym. Staff are very professional but need to mention the great service provided by front office staff who works the night shift. Deevanshu might be his name. Appreciate the high level of service and assistance he provided.

Очень удобное расположение, куча магазинов, кафешек, есть обменник и магазин с сим картами. До пляжа идти минут 20 На второй день обзаведётесь байком и поймёте что это лучшее место в городе. Классная лужайка перед отелем, можно устроить пикник или позаниматься йогой. Очень порадовало отношение со стороны персонала отеля, они приветливые, готовы помочь во всех вопросах, открытые для общения. Однозначно рекомендую этот отель для бронирования! Very convenient location, a bunch of shops, cafes, there is an exchange store and a SIM cards store. To the Beach you can walk 20 minutes On the second day you will get a bike and realize that this is the best place in the city. A cool lawn in front of the hotel, you can arrange a picnic or work out yoga. Very pleased with the attitude of the hotel staff, they are friendly, ready to help in all matters open to communication. I definitely recommend this hotel for booking!

The overall experience was excellent. Right from the room (we booked the executive suite), which was well furnished, beds were comfy and the pillows were also great. The bath was also great, super shower heads. Amenities are basic, not sure if would get them on demand. The food experience was amazing, we had dinner a few times at the Waterfront Cafe and the chef sent out some great Tiger Prawns, the Poisson was delicious. Breakfast was a large selection of good tasting food, the dosa and eggs counter did an excellent job as well. Service was great, Sahil was very responsive. Spa experience was also satisfying, we got a mix of Balinese, Swedish and some Foot Reflexology, the spa rooms were good, sauna was also effective. The highlight was the walk to the beach, crossing a nice little river filled with fish, the beach is vast and even, great for a walk/jog. Sunrise and sunsets were a treat and the weather during the evening was also cool. A nice selection of Indies were around, they would accompany us to the water, play with us but never crossed over the bridge to the resort. Overall resort design is first class, with abundant use of local wood and stone. Lots of pools, the main one has some great music playing all the time. Check in and check out was smooth and easy, staff very helpful, Mandrem beach and Riva are a magical combination.

The food was amazing! The service was fantastic. Vishal is a gem! Best prawn curry I've had. The vegetarian options are also good. When we asked to reheat the food they brought it out fresh again which was delightful. Another haunt for us every Friday afternoon morning forward!
