    sridhar r.family

    This was our second stay, we loved our first stay here, we enjoyed it a lot, the resort has private access to the beach. Overall stay was refreshing, the resort is well maintained with good service. Food at seagull is good but in room dining can improve. A pleasant and peaceful stay.

    Everything was picture perfect. except Sohum Spa. 1 of 5 star for the overall experience in spa. they are not true professional therapist yet. not worth the money.

    A memorable stay

    narendran s.family with 1 kid

    A four night memorable stay at Dona Sylvia Resort for a birthday celebration. Stayed in a executive villa. Likes - Beach access to pristine Cavelossim Beach, Amenities at Resort, Wide Open Green Spaces, Two swimming pools, Housekeeping, Babyfood by Chef, clean and spacious bathroom and room. What can be improved - Breakfast buffet Spread especially Desserts, smart TV in all rooms, Wifi connectivity. The whole tram was welcoming and prompt in addressing any issues. Another plus was the access to stores, pharmacy and restaurants just outside the resort. The resort and rooms were very clean and well maintained.

    Small rooms which are not properly cleaned, No valet parking, Very old property. Most important that while having a meal we noticed bird ( crow) flying in a restaurant which I think is not good at such 5Star property.

    Excellent Stay

    sukriti r.group

    I recently stayed once again at Novotel Dona Sylvia Resort, Cavelossim, and every time I return, it feels like home by the sea. This was my fifth visit, and it only reaffirms why I keep coming back. The location itself is unbeatable – right on the peaceful Cavelossim beach, with the luxury of stepping out into golden sands and the sound of waves just a short walk away. What truly makes the experience special, however, is the people. Geeta from Guest Relations went out of her way to make sure our stay was comfortable and memorable. At check-in, Ruby welcomed us with such warmth that we instantly felt relaxed and cared for. During breakfast, Joyita and Piyali were always attentive, smiling, and quick to ensure we had everything we needed. The food deserves a special mention – thanks to Chef Ravinder, who makes every meal a delight, from the lavish breakfast spreads to the flavorful Goan specialties. Every visit here reminds me why this resort is my go-to destination in Goa: the perfect blend of great hospitality, excellent food, and a serene beachfront setting. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a peaceful yet luxurious Goan escape.

    Not as good as expected

    chhavi u.family

    Location of the property is good. But Hospitality is 0, food - 0, rooms - 0. Wet floor inside room. You have to call them 2-3 times to remind one thing you asked. But they will call you many times to remind your checkout date and time

    Stay at Novotel

    harikrishnan r.family with 1 kid

    I had a wonderful stay at Novotel, Goa. The check-in was very smooth even though I arrived late at night around 11 pm. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The resort is excellent – very clean, neat, and well maintained. Room service was quick and efficient, and I even got food delivered to my room late at night without any problem. Breakfast was really good with lots of variety. The restaurant has a wide menu and the food was delicious. All the staff members were polite, friendly, and always ready to help. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience and I would highly recommend Novotel, Goa to anyone looking for comfort, good food, and great service.
