Frindly family run hotel perfect location for the beach. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Onsite restaurant run by a Debar lovely guy and very accomodating. Patenom is not as busy as its neighbouring resort Palolem beach, which is only a 5 minute taxi ride away with its many restaurants if you fancy something different of an evening . All in all a very enjoyable stay and would recommend this hotel

Dreadful management attitude, dirty pool and rooms
Our stay was ruined by the rude and agressive management. The pool was dirty (opaque) and unusable. The room was misdiscribed as deluxe when the rooms are only standard rooms. Edmond (manager?) admitted the descrition was wrong its the room pictures that are correct. We asked to pay for a room upgrade on which they became agressive and implemented rules that were not stated in the t&cs. They also tried to charge us the full rate for the room for a night not the difference between the price of the rooms. The management have no respect for their guest and are devoid of any customer service skills, they are quite happy to argue agressively with guests and infront of other customers in their resturant. It could be a nice place if they, respected their guest and improved customer service, improved their skills on pool and room cleanliness and told the truth in their advertisement. The hotel does not have a private beach and the name "Sea View" is misnomer.

The manager was vile, rude and arrogant. We looked at the pictures on the web and purchased an “Executive Suit”. When we were shown to our room it was at the back of the hotel overlooking a wasteland/tip. We went back to reception and asked for another rom ay front of hotel. The manager said “you have got the room you paid for if you don’t like it go back to ebookers. If you want better room you pay me more” I explained that the room we had paid for was the most expensive, he just said again “ you pay more or go somewhere else” The toilet did not work for 5 days and my wife was unable to open the room door for 6 days as it had dropped on the hinges. Our room was not cleaned for 4 days.

VERY NICE HOTEL VERY CLOSE TO THE BEACH
We arrived at the hotel and was very pleased at first sight but was very very pleased when in the morning we had a chance to look around it was great we stayed in the executive room overlooking the pool we found the staff very pleasant especially our room cleaner thank you, .We would like to stay there again sometime The bar and eating area could do with having a makeover we found that it was not appealing to us so come on The Seaveiw Hotel get this sorted and get more people to eat and be comfortable in this area .

The room we booked was squalid, so we had no choice but to move to a very expensive alternative. Most of the people we spoke to had the same experience. Basically it was a con. You should not be promoting this place.Staff were uncooperative and unhelpful and sometimes rude

Southern Goa Tranquility Close to Beaches
I am a solo male Canadian backpacker who was on a two month trip around India and Sri Lanka. This was a last minute internet find at the very end of the high season. I went to Goa because it was the end point of a train trip I wanted to take and because after the heat of Rajasthan and Gujarat I just wanted to jump in the warm sea. The manager was kind enough to come and pick me up at the Magdaon railway station at night - no small feat! At the end of the stay he also drove me to the Goa International Airport very early in the morning. The resort is a group of low rise residential buildings surrounded by greenery like coconut trees and with gated security. The room was relatively clean. Its electricity cut out quite frequently. Although it's only about five hundred meters from the beach, it was sort of a drag to have to walk there for each meal because the resort did not really provide meals in the low season. The beach restaurants were fun, inexpensive and with good food. The manager helped me with going to see Galigbag or Turtle Beach some eight kilometers away. There was decent laundry service. This was my first time using Expedia to book and I didn't remember whether I had paid for everything online with the result that I paid online for the basic rate and then paid the manager in cash for what was supposed to be extras like air conditioning and driving. Lesson learned: keep note of transactions when there's a middle person like Expedia.

Just as advertised
We wanted a nice, quiet place located close to Palolem beach that would fit our budget. Seaview Resort fit that bill perfectly. You may not be able to walk right to Palolem from here, but Patnem beach is connected to the resort and is quite a pretty sight as well. And our host Edmond rented us one of his bikes which made life really easy for us! The hotel is pretty, the rooms clean and comfortable and amongst the cleanest you will find. The location is the right mix of quiet, and well-connected. An ATM, and a market (Chowdi) are at a short distance from the hotel and the area is well lit and safe even in the late hours of the night. Palolem beach is a delight for foodies, and if you want some real quiet time, try Agonda beach which is about an hour's ride from the hotel!

A bit disappointing for the price.
The hotel is reasonably close to the beach. The check in was professional. However, the room is very ordinary for the price. The environment is a bit depressing. The water in the shower does not have force. No offer was made to clean the room. We were not asked whether our stay was comfortable or if we needed something. The restaurant is expensive. We asked for red snapper fish but was given some other fish (tasted like cod). The waiter insisted that it was red snapper when I, with a 24 year hotel background, know exactly what I am getting. I wanted to read a book but I found a notice in the 'library' saying that books were only for sale. I expected at least a bottle of drinking water daily, but the hotel does not even ask the guests if they need potable water. A jug and steel glass is kept in the room, but no one asks if it needs to be filled. Overall, not a very memorable experience.

The hotel is very near Sea probably 100 meters from patolem beach,But no sea would be visible from the hotel.It would be better if they call it tree view rather than sea view.The other facilities were standard.The restaurant was too costly and lousy.probably a bit expensive for the facilities provided.Instead you can book a beach cottage directly on the beach which costs even less(probably half of sea view cost and has a real beach look just before you)

Comfortable, clean, close to beach, greedy owner
This was physically a really nice place to stay. It's in the town of Canacona about a two minute walk from its beach, Patnem. The gardens were lovely, the rooms clean, simple but adequate clothing storage, a smallish bathroom with good layout and good shower drainage. The restaurant food passable and staff generally responsive. We had a room with AC-important, as the concrete building does retain a lot of heat. The hotel had many services, including internet and scheduling of taxis and tours. Our main complaint is that the owner charged roughly 20% more for all of his services and restaurant food compared to everyone else in Canacona, and we couldn't haggle him down. After a while we got tired of this and "outsourced" the services. He was generally polite with us, but obviously didn't really like our outsourcing. However locals agree he's digging his own grave on this. Otherwise it was a nice stay. It's a 5 minute and 50-60 rupee autorickshaw ride to the town of Palolem and its beach just down the road. That beach is slightly more striking than Patnem, but way more developed with more crowds and nightlife. Canacona and its Patnem Beach are more laid back with a less people and less shops (but still many good-quality restaurants). Another neat part about Patnem beach is that many expats stay for extended periods, and they build up nice friendships with the locals.

The Exotic Marigold Hotel - With Benefits
By far the best hotel in Patnem or Palolem for genuine "Exotic Marigold Hotel" ambience and location. There are plenty of co-co huts and tents closer to the beach but if you don't like sand in your bed or mosquito nets then this is the place to stay. The Raja's Roost restaurant is the best in Patnem and they will get you anything you want if you tell Raja the day before. Don't go there expecting a Travelodge or a Premiere Inn. This is India...get used to it! The Manager Eddie has to cope with alot of (mainly British) moaning minnies...but if you treat him with respect, avoid threatening him with trip advisor and tell him what you need/want you will reap the reward many times over. Best value for money hotel on my 4 week stay in Kerala and Goa. NB Hot water is solar heated and is available in abundance at Sunset and early evening. By morning I recommend an early morning swim in the 'oggin...as I said...this is India...get used to it!

Seaview resort, for the ideal location in Goa
This is a lovely setting, safe and clean, friendly owner/family run hotel, closest hotel to beach, short, 2 minute walk to the very quiet, beautiful sandy beach. The location is perfect if you are looking for a laid back holiday on a quiet beach. It is a short drive to Palolem Beach if you would like a day or evening out. Agonda and Turtle Beach are also very quiet and nearby for day outings. I would highly recommend eating at Raja's Roost, the hotel's restaurant. Raja, the manager is a lovely, personable young man who will take very good care of you...and he has beautiful tribal art displayed for sale. ps. Eddy, the manager will arrange taxi service to/from the airport for convenient, stress free transportation

Overall it's the typically grotty hotel, but you get used to that traveling here. But this place is way overpriced for what it is. The owners are not very nice, yelling seems to be the preferred means of communication. The overall vibe is a bummer and the other guests and employees seem unhappy. Stayed a few nights before finding a cocohut on the beach. It was far cheaper, i was on the sand, and everyone was friendlier. If you don't want to show up in Patnem without a reservation, then book a night if you must. Then just comb the beach to see what your options are. Patnem is a fantastic spot, the Sea View, not so much.

Hotel med potential
Rent, modernt, stort och färgstarkt rum mot bakgården, inte så fint, men tyst och skönt. Hotellet ligger precis vid väg, men det stör inte nämnvärt om man har rum mot bakgården. Seawiew (f.ö) missvisande namn, när det inte finns någon sjöutsikt, har potential att bli ett riktigt bra ställe. Men man måste börja tänka på de små detaljerna. Det fanns vattenkokare, flaskvatten, tekoppar...men inte en tepåse eller instant kaffe. Man hade bara en rulle igång på toan, man måste därför tänka efter så pappret räckte till nästa städning. När tvål tog slut, fyllde man inte på nya. Hotellet har också ett litet men vackert poolområde. Det trista är att man verkar inte vilja ha gästerna där. Det är skyltar om förbud kring mycket, inget äta och dricka, ingen solkräm, inga skor...osv. Även solstolar var fastkedjade, inte så inbjudande, i en övrigt vacker miljö. Vi hade också checkat ut efter fem nätter, men var kvar på stranden ett par timmar innan tåget skulle gå. Våra väskor fick stå kvar, men vi fick inte låna kallvattenduchen vid poolen för att spola av oss snabbt. En ocharmig anställd meddelade bara att vi checkat ut. Så vår upplevelse var att det finns möjligheter att bli ett bra hotell, men man måste tänka mer att det är gästen som gör hotellet och framgången. Vi rekommenderar hotellet inte helt utan kritik.

sauberes Zimmer jedoch muffig
Ich würde das Sew View Resort nicht nochmals buchen, für dieses Geld bekommt man in Indien besseres. Das Zimmer war sauber, jedoch hatte es einen sehr muffigen Geruch, der nach ca. 1 Woche etwas besser wurde. Das Swimming-Pool war in den ersten 3 Tagen nicht in Betrieb, braunes Wasser, erst danach wurde mächtig Chlor reingegeben und die Pumpen in Betrieb gesetzt... Der Chef des Hotels vermittelte eher den Eindruck, dass ihm alles zu hart ist. Man bekam zwar alles, aber freundlich ist was anderes. Auch die Mitarbeiter des Restaurants waren nicht sonderlich freundlich...

The service is terrible. After waiting 45 min, they cancelled my booking. I had paid for three nights through hotels.com, but they claimed that it wasn't enough and turned me out. I haven't got any refund. The staff were rude, unfriendly - so whatever you do, book somewhere else, lots of nicer places that are cheaper and closer to the beach.

Gutes Preis/Leistungs Verhältnis
Die Zimmer waren sauber und die Lage des Hotels ist gut. Zum Strand sind es nur 5 Minuten Fußweg. Das Frühstück ist allerdings nicht zu empfehlen, da lohnt es sich mehr in einer der unzähligen Bars direkt am Strand zu frühstücken, Meerblick inklusive. Die vom Hotel angebotene Tour ist auch nur was für Menschen, die auf klassische Touri-Fallen stehen. Eigentlich ist es mehr eine Verkaufveranstaltung, dafür war der Fahrer sehr nett. Sollte ein Zustellbett erforderlich sein, wie in unserem Fall, da wir zu dritt dort waren, besteht das dritte "Bett" nur aus einer Matratze, die auf dem Boden liegt...nicht sehr komfortabel, die richtigen Betten sind allerdings sehr bequem. Das Preis/Leistungs Verhältnis stimmt bei diesem Hotel jedoch durchaus.

Отель включает в себя три здания. Хороший корпус чуть дальше от дороги, корпус с рестораном и ресепшном на первом этаже самый не удачный как в плане номеров так и в плане расположения ( находится по сути на перекрестке дорог и все индусы-водители не могут не проехать не посигналив), номера по ремонту за ту же цену очень отличаются от аналогичных номеров корпуса чуть в глубине от дороги. В номере убогая сантехника, подобие душа совмещенного с унитазом, лампы- светильники без плафонов, уборка номеров по требованию, симпатичная зеленая территория отеля (пальмы, манговые деревья), вечером крутят киношку. Расположен в 300 м от пляжа, идти через лавки на пляж не всегда приятно, индусы очень приставучий народ, все компенсирует очень красивый пляж и большое количество шеков, но совсем не шумных. Южный Гоа далеко не тусовочное место, скорее тут понравится романтическим парочкам и людям желающим побыть в тишине и спокойствии.
