Vagator hotels & places to stay

We got a chance to stay at their 'Party huts' as well as the 'Suite'. Both had their own charm. While staying at the party huts we experienced the Saturday party night and few performances at the famous Antares restaurant, all this while sitting in our own room's balcony. This room type is for the party lovers. On the other hand, the suite was quieter and really spacious. The highlight for our entire trip was the breathtakingly amazing view from the private balcony of this suite. We sipped morning coffees in our balcony with the peaceful sound of the beach waves, so serene and beautiful. As this is a beach property, we really enjoyed the direct access to the little Vagator beach. The staff was very helpful and attended to us promptly. The resort manager went an extra mile to make our holiday special and memorable, appreciate his hospitality. I can only suggest to keep the food in the buffet warm as it got cold very soon. Overall a very good experience.

It has to be said, I initially booked my stay at another hotel but after one night, I felt uncomfortable and immediately booked the remaining days at W Goa. The comfort, kindness and quality service received from all the staff was great! One thing that stood out noticeably was the ever present friendly smile across everyone I interacted with from W Goa. There was nothing I was denied in terms of request and that goes far, especially when its 4am in the morning, you can’t sleep and all you want is a Bombay masala toasted sandwich!! So to all the W Goa team (security guards at the gate, welcome guards, front desk, bar staff, house keeping, waiters, chefs and anyone else whom I have missed! You made my stay evermore pleasant as a solo guest! Wonderful people. Thankyou and I will be back.

Our stay at the Shunya Noi Varo Villa was truly exceptional. The staff were amazing helpful in everyday, the villa was amazingly clean, the pool was perfect to cool off or for laps, and the food was the best we had in India. Really the chef would put most 4 star restaurants anywhere to shame but stays as we understand it because he enjoys cooking for small groups who really appreciate his food. We were able to get a driver 2 of our days for quite a reasonable rate to go visit the coast and to take a trip to the spice plantation but otherwise found relaxing at the villa and eating our meals there to be a truly special treat. Would recommend for couples or for a family group.

the hotel was located in a calm and convenient location in little vagator. the check in process was very nice - the staff at the desk were warm and friendly. the hotel was very well maintained, clean and comfortable. deluxe rooms were facing the pool and were simple but clean - more than enough for goa. if you are looking for a local flavour of goa with close access to the beach with quaint local restaurants, shops at a reasonable price we highly recommend leoneys resort in little vagator goa. enjoy !

This is definitely one of my best experiences in a hostel . The reception is small but very helpful. The rooms are basic and I stayed in a standard double room ( preferred in the same building ) but the experience was breathtaking. The pool is nice and cosy and the ambience is very serene . The bar and the pool area is the highlight of the hostel . Such delicious cocktails and you can have chilled beer at very decent price and believe me the drinks are yummy and I believe the ambience is just so great . It will take couple of hours to sync in and you start enjoying in a bit but do not expect to have fun right when you enter the hostel . There are activities at the pool/bar area and the owners/volunteers are always doing something to engage you. It’s the best place to socialise and get to know new people without any inhibition . The reception can help you with bike rent and airport cabs . Another highlight is the mango tree bar just outside the hostel . It has the best food , music

we stayed in a premium room and were very happy with the place. the bed is super comfortable - the best one we had in the five hotels we stayed at in india. the room is a good size and they have wired internet available in it. the extra touches like the in-room safe, bathroom fan, and large flat screen tv (though common in the west, quite rare in india) were nice. the service from the staff was excellent and it was nice having a pool on the property (although the water was almost too warm). the place is spotless and the groundskeeping immaculate and they even have a security guard at the gate (although all he ever needed to do was chase a stray dog away once). the hotel is 10 minutes walk from vagator/ozram beaches and there are 6 or 8 restaurants within a 5 minute walk from the hotel - we liked jackie's daynite and moon beam (yes, cheesy names but the food was good). the property does have a restaurant but only serves a mediocre, though acceptable for convenience, breakfast and snacks. vagator is a fairly quiet beach yet has a good selection of beach shacks to get food or drinks from. the nearby roads are safe for scootering around. there are several convenience stores in the near vacinity and a doctor's office within 3 blocks. you are a bit further away from the bigger beaches should those interest you but you can easily get to them on a scooter. calangute is perhaps 30 minutes by scooter and anjuna perhaps 20. definately recommend the hotel as a very relaxing place to stay with some nice touches that are rare in india. and loved that super comfortable bed!

Four of us (two couples) traveled to Goa for the first time and stayed at Siolim House. We got the two 'big' suites and were amazed. Both suites are huge, with very high ceilings and beautiful four-post beds (and mosquito netting!). Though the house itself is like a living antique, the comforts were modern including excellent water pressure/hot shower etc. We were there in November and our room was very comfortable without A/C. Staff was very helpful in arranging taxis etc. and breakfast was incredible - very fresh croissants (taste homemade), house-made yogurt, delicious french press coffee, eggs to order or a traditional Indian breakfast. There is yoga in the courtyard every morning 730-830, and often times we were the only participants, which was awesome. The location is sort of between Morjim and Vagator, so you will mostly need to use a taxi or rent a car to get around, but we didn't find that very inconvenient, and it was nice to stay away from the crowds. In summary, this is a very unique, comfortable and beautiful hotel with great food and a luxury feel. It's just off the beaten track but close to everything. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone.

First thing, standards in India a bit lower so don't expect that much. The room was quite good, bed was a really hard, but that's india. The hosts are really friendly and try to help with every question. All needed things are in walking area. To the Vagator beach 3 min A breakfast restaurant I can recommend ist "Jaws Bakery" A Bar/Restaurant I can recommend it's "Mango Tree" A bus station to Mapusa is about 10 mins walk away and costs only 30 Rupees

Phone to call the reception does not work. TV does not work because the subscription is not paid for. There is no concept of room service. They also on the first day gave me a private scooter instead of a yellow plated one which is what tourists need to have. The cops made me pay a fine of 1000. The hotel paid the money back, however I wish they would have given me a correct scooter in the first place. There is a white lady who works there. Probably one of the owners. She is the only nice warm person on that property. Food is nice though. Breakfast is nice.

they did not officialy open the hotel when we came so there were small confusions, such as the restaurant of the hotel was not opened, but they offered to bring us some indian food. the food was tasty and they served us well, but we did not know the charges until the checked-out, so this was a negative aspect. another misunderstading was about the check-out hour, since they had a board written 12 in from of the reception, but at 10 o'clock they hurried us to leave the room because "that was an old board". we could have been announced beforehand. nevertheless, i am sure the small inconviniences will be reduced once they start and run the hotel. the staff was trying to please us, always asking if we need anything, so this is a good attitude. as i said, the garden and the swimming pool are lovely, especially in the late morning,where you can have breakfast. the location though is not exactly near vagator beach (anjuna, we found out, is even further from vagator).

This was my 6th visit to goa, we decided to stay in vagator during july 2016, monsoons. I would say this was the best decision instead of living on the same old, calangute or baga areas. - Beautiful location, Good rooms, friendly staff. - I would have preferred a bigger pool and better parking. But that okay! Overall, i recommend this place to couples and family people. If you like party, music and night life. Then this not the place u should look for.

I stayed here with my sister when I was in town to celebrate my birthday. It's located very centrally in Vagator, right next door to Thalassa (a well-known restaurant and landmark). It's walking distance to the beach and a few restaurants/clubs, which made it ideal for us. The view of the sea from the deck is unbelievable, and in my opinion is one of the best in Goa. I also found the area and hotel quite safe, and ideal for women travelling alone. The staff is polite and helpful and the room was clean, but there were a few minor things such as the A/C or TV not functioning properly at times, and frequent (short) power cuts. But since we were out most of the day, it wasn't much of a concern. Overall we enjoyed our stay and didn't have any complaints. I would definitely stay here again!

we ended up staying a week in the hotel, the location was perfect close to the best beach of north goa : little vagator. i would not recommend places on the beach as there is techno music everywhere, except maybe in little vagator since it is a smaller beach with much less techno bars and lounges on the beach. the pool is clean and you can actually swim, the decoration of the hotel is great. we could have stayed in a much cheaper place to be in the spirit of goa but we were very happy after a long day out at the beach and driving around and try to places to have drinks, to finally get to the hotel and enjoy the contort of living room. tip: go to sri restaurant and loung on little vagator, it s a magical place with live bands many nights a week, with a lovely owner and amazing food as the owner is an indian british chef....chilling there and enjoy the place made our stay memorable and very fun

they dont have duplicate keys for the room. Unfortunatly My two frnz met accident and they had the keys with them. they were admitted to the hospital and two of us were enjoying the vagator beach, I get a call from hospital about incident. we ran towards the hotel and ask the receptionist to open the room with the duplicate key and take some money from our bags and change our dress to go to hospital ASAP. but the receptionist said to wait he will get the key . But ridiculously he's calling back and said there is no duplicate key wait untill your frnz come with keys. How rude was he, I was astonished with his behaviour. How can injured person come and give us the keys for the room. Had a very bad experience.

Our stay is really perfect the hotel staff very cooperative and professional and the did our best to make our stay comfortable. They are very nice people. The hotel is very close to resturants and many places to go. I really loved the place and enjoy the vacation. The hotel is very clean and all what you need you can find it in this hotel. Food is good and you can also do oeder from outside.

The good bits: Drinking water is free. Showers are hot. TV has BBC and two English movie channels. Two beaches are 20 and 30 minutes walking. Room service is supplied by external restaurant and food is fine - see item under "Bad Bits." The owner is very personable and went out of his way to make sure I had what I needed. The staff has limited English and do their best to accomodate. The bad bits: The laundry, although reasonable, was not fully dry when returned to me. The restaurant doesn't open until 10:30 am - so much for breakfast. I actually ordered an omlette for dinner and they said... sorry, that's only available for breakfast! The bank down the road doesn't do FX and the ATM didn't work for me. Wifi is only available in the internal courtyard and works well most of the time. The hotel phone number supplied by Agoda is incorrect and owner is aware of that but is unable rectify. The correct number is 9881971729. Prepaid taxi cost from airport is 1300.

Fantastic! Would definitely recommend this hotel to all. The sea view and surroundings of hills and palm trees makes it the most idylic retreat. So relaxing, peaceful and serene, felt like a dream. It is in Siolim, which is quite a drive away from the busy streets, shopping and nightlife, but if you don't mind the drive, this is the perfect place to relax and be away from the hustle and bustle. The rooms are luxurious tents, with modern and sleek furnishings and finishings. Stunning decor! Includes a private garden area with table and chairs, lounging sofa with a view to die for. Also has a private outdoor area at the front with a massage table where the hotel can arrange a masseuse to come. Includes complimentary water and wifi which was very efficient and fast. Lovely bar/restaurant area where relaxing funky lounge music is played all day and evening. Amazing lounge areas all along the sea front with swaying drapes in the breeze. Friendly staff. Only downside would be that the hotel is quite tucked away and not many people know about its whereabouts. If you need directions or use GPS, just mention Siolim House which is nearby, and it will help to locate the hotel. Also, taxi's are considerably more expensive in Goa, so you might end up paying quite abit because it is about 20-25 mins from most attractions. It would be more cost effective to hire a vehicle, which has also become abit of an issue as you cannot openly hire privately, since taxi drivers have kicked up a fuss that they are not making money due to tourists hiring cars. Otherwise, hiring a motorbike or scooter is very cheap and common. The airport is about an hour away but this is pretty much the same for most other touristic areas in Goa as the airport is quite far. Would definitely recommend this hotel and come back again! Stunning.

this place is equi-distant from pretty much everything in anjuna/vagator. monkey valley is just behind the resort. mango tree is 5 mins by bike. then there's sakana, one of the only few japanese restaurants around. there's 9 bar and there's vagator hill (sunburn 2014), hardly 10 mins by bike. there's a turkish restaurant called la shawarma that serves yummy falafels, hardly 5 mins by walk. very next is doroga, a russian cafe/bar. curlies is not far either. chapora fort is 5 mins. whoa! and then i also got to taste some exotic nocte tribal food nearby, just 2 min walk. owned by smita (of nocte tribe from arunachal pradesh) and her hubby, a russian saxophonist, who can blow ur mind with his improvisations. i'm definitely coming to this resort back, for many different reasons. note to the owner: sir, if you're reading this, first of all, my apologies for yelling at you, i'm not really the kind that yells at an elderly, but as chris martin says 'blame it upon the rush of the blood to the head' :). also thanks for not charging me for the extra hours i stayed on the checkout day. appreciate it! not to agoda: for godsake, please keep your records updated with the phone numbers.
