"The suite was clean, spacious and equipped with the absolute basics in terms of kitchen bits and bobs. Amazingly there was a top loader washing machine! You could always ask for other items, staff and manager were especially helpful. Useful contacts were all displayed at the reception, taxi, breakfast lunch and dinner available to order. The beech is approx 1 mile and walked to it most days. Good selection of restaurants on the beechfront and along the way, plus shops, wine/beer and pharmacies....

"The property was excellent. I liked all the amenities they provided at an affordable price during the peak season. Everyone was very friendly, and I loved the location—it’s within walking distance from the beach."

"Spotless, large, modern, and luminous - the Mistral is a great place to stay if you find yourself in this beautiful part of South Goa. Kathleen and her Dad run a great operation that's only a five minute walk from the beach and close to shops and the main village. Highly recommended! "

"The staff were very efficient, friendly, and provided excellent service. The hotel itself felt very safe and secure. However, the surrounding area was not very clean or easy to walk around.
Guests also need to arrange private taxis—either on their own or through the hotel—if they want to visit places like Old Goa or the beaches in South Goa. In my opinion, the hotel should have a concierge who can help organize group tours for guests."
"Lovely hotel with great staff. Abeer made us feel welcome. The servers at breakfast were utmost helpful, pleasant, accommodating and humble.
During our stay there was a conference and even a wedding. There was some noise and the breakfast was hectic, nevertheless we absolutely loved our stay. The rooms were perfect. The beds were huge. And the pool was lovely. Unfortunately the foodservice at the pool takes very long. That could have been better, maybe the pool should get their own kitchen, that might help.
My family and I loved our stay. Thank you all."
"Beautiful resort with luxurious buildings to roam and relax in. Room was very clean, staff (especially Vijay from the resort centre) were exceptionally attentive. The pool was a good temperature, and there were multiple sections and seating areas. There's even a shopping area within the resort!
Multiple restaurants with a different cuisine meant we didn't eat the same meal twice during our 2 day stay!"
"Was really excited to stay at this property
Unfortunately due to the current situation my flight got cancelled and the one I rebooked also got cancelled
I tried calling and messaging to explain this
Before this happened the st Regis team was very responsive and suggesting lots of stuff
As soon as I explained what happened I have had no response no refund nothing
Am extremely disappointed as I wanted to rebook to stay here in the future but after this I will not do so
Clearly they only pretend to care when you book and as soon as a problem arises they cannot even be bothered to even respond
Extremely disappointed "
"Beach view from villa was obstructed. In general, the property was clean but looked dated,. The main pool area, in particular was kitschy and not commensurate with the star rating and per day charge (average of $700 per night). I had to ask for newspapers everyday and staff didn't ask if I wanted one delivered every morning . At dinner at one of the restaurants, cheese was added to our vegan pasta and another day, I had to remind the waiter 3 times to get me a beer. This last item is not something that can be controlled but there were too many families with unruly kids so if you are hoping for a quiet time, perhaps this is not the best option. "

" We have been staying at this property since its Hyatt days, which makes this February visit even more disappointing.
Four families travelled from different cities to celebrate an 80th birthday. Despite sharing all booking details in advance, there were repeated lapses. I received an incorrect airport pickup call meant for another guest, and the response from the front office was a routine, mechanical apology with no ownership.
More seriously, although all four rooms were booked under my ID and secured with my credit card, the staff asked my father-in-law and sister-in-law for their cards and charged ₹50,000 to my sister-in-law without authorisation. Even after raising the issue, the amount has not been reversed 12 days later.
On checkout, I was again asked about collecting payments from others, forcing me to settle everything myself to avoid further confusion.
The property is lovely, but the front office operations are deeply disappointing. A milestone family celebration was overshadowed by preventable errors and poor handling."
While exploring the area, visit family-friendly sights like Goa Science Centre, or get outside and enjoy nature at Arossim Beach. In the larger area, you'll find Utorda Beach and Majorda Beach.
