5/5 Excellent
St Regis, Goa
"Overall the hotel was well presented and catered well to keep residents happy and occupied whilst in the resort. Located in south Goa it was quite an isolated type resort, which is expected.
Abit of a shame that not all of the restaurants were open and half board stayers had to resort to the same restaurant each evening, and that events or construction of some sort what going on when we were there. Service generally was good, just a little slow at times."

"Staff was amazing. They really made the stay amazing. More so the restaurant staff truly hit the mark making our stay amazing—Moumita- Assisrant food Bev manager was so accommodating and made anything we liked.. truly amazing. They even made a cake and scribbled bonvoyage on plate. Such a great touch!
They also had best toilet paper in India. Everywhere else paper was so hard. Theirs was so soft."

"The property was beautiful and I had a nice window view for myself and my girlfriend. The food was excellent and the kitchen staff were so kind, approachable, and we had actually come to a point of befriending them as they were familiar with us and our preferred orders. The room was ALWAYS kept clean, and hotel staff were accommodating to ALL of our needs. I would absolutely recommend."
