Pause by the Sea is definitely one of the most aesthetically pleasing stays I’ve come across in Goa. The vibe is beautiful, and the best part is the location — the beach is literally 50 steps away, which makes it super convenient and special. The pool and overall atmosphere also make it a great spot to relax and unwind.
That said, there are a few areas that could use improvement. The cottage, while charming, had occasional issues like insects inside (likely due to surrounding plants and lower maintenance). The AC and hairdryer also didn’t work properly during our stay. Food-wise, the menu felt quite limited, with not many affordable options, and breakfast had very little variety.
Overall, I’d recommend Pause by the Sea for its pool, aesthetics, and unbeatable beachside location — those are truly its strong points. But with better upkeep of the cottages and a more thoughtful menu, it could easily become a perfect getaway spot.
