Staff is nice, food is good but the hotel is awful
We stayed there 2 nights. I had to take a sleeping pill to be able to sleep.Super hard mattress, just a small sheet to cover yourself, seemed dirty. A/C super noisy. Bathroom horrible. Staff is nice though. Internet connection is horrible. Location is awesome though, close to most beautiful beach in Goa.

Great service but not enough value for the price
The bathroom smelled really bad. I think it was a septic tank problem. The best part of our stay was the service, though. Some of the best chai I've ever had, and decent food so that if we needed to stay in for a while, we weren't left without anything. Otherwise it's a bit far from the beach and restaurants. It's about halfway between the two main beaches in the area - Palolem and Patnem - which is also cool because you can walk to either. We loved both!

Delightful Diwali at Sunbeach
We suddenly planned for trip and found this at the cheapest. Quickly saw the reviews and made up our mind for an average experience and booked. However it turned out to be a better than average one. Pros: Good Ambience. Village like. Exactly what we were looking for. No traffic noise. 5 min walk from beach. Many good restaurants nearby. Bike hire available on call and also found nearby. A/C was good enough. Car parking for 3 cars available. Food on order. Owner was a nice chap. Cons: Food was average but with decent coverage. There were power cuts many times.

Further from the beach than you think...
I liked staying here but the description if distance from the beach is definitely misleading. The internet is available just outside your room which was good but because of the monsoon it didn't work for the first day. They did get it sorted for me though and they were very nice about making sure my stay was comfortable.

The room was a good size and although apprehensive about the location it was only 500m from the beach. The problem was the cleanliness of the room. There was lizard excrement on the walls and this was when we checked in.

Most notable was all the staffs wish to please and to instantly respond to any issues, questions etc. Near to beach and a quiet spot at the same time. Definitely recommended.

What a dump
Avoid this place! Completely agree with the other negative reviews on this site. I booked this hotel because it promised hot water and free wifi which I needed for booking onward travel. A thin drip of warm water - no hot - was all that came out of the shower so I had cold showers the whole time I was there. The wifi also never worked. The staff there called the owner to sort it out but he was away in Mumbai and never came near the place so nothing was done. I asked if the place had a laundry service and was told it did so sent a few items of clothing to be washed. When I asked if my laundry was ready I was presented with a plastic bag of crumpled, damp clothing and when I asked was told they had no iron. The room was grim, grubby and the bed rock hard. It had a clean(ish) sheet on it but no top sheet, only a fleecy blanket which smelled strongly of the previous tenant(s), yuk. The bathroom was dirty (sink plug hole full of dark hairs, definitely not mine) and was not cleaned the whole time I was there, the bucket beside the toilet overflowing with tissues. The exterior furniture was dirty and tatty with nasty greasy stains on the chairs. In short this place was horrible and ridiculously overpriced. Howling dogs and cheek by jowl neighbours to keep you awake half the night complete the picture. You would do better to take one of the many beach huts with showers available in Palolem for less than half the price.

Nice staff and clean room. But we soon discover that it was overpriced compered to other places in this area, especially those on the beach. The surroundings are not very cosy.

Nice stay at affordable price
This place is very near (walkable) to Palolem beach, arguably oneof the serene and non-chaotic beaches in Goa. If you expect a full fledged hotel service for what you are paying then it would be a wrong expectation. Staff/owners are gracious and co-operative. Very much suitable for people who would like to be near to Palolem beach, wlak around and feel like a relaxed ambience than who prefer luxury stay. Overall good and suitable for even long term stay right next to a goa beach

My husband and me had visited, this place in the month of Feb 2012. I would recommend this place to everyone. The stay was very pleasant, the rooms are quite comfortable and the surrounding is very peacefull. The beach is about 20-25 mins walk from the room. There are quite a few beaches surrounding this place which is easily accessible by bike. Overall i loved the stay and have no regrets.

Perfect spot, hot showers, good wireless and comfy
This little hotel was the perfect place to spend a few days in Goa. I didn't want a beach hut needed something with more structure! Got a comfy bed, HOT shower, and a 10 minute walk to the beach or a tuk tuk ride. They provided wireless that was fast, breakfast and food served all day. The owner was so nice, he let us stay into the evening since we were taking a night train, arrange a tuk tuk to the train station and when the train was delayed by 10 hours welcomed us back.. I can't say enough good about this place!

This was a nice place - very simple, but much more 'permanent' than most of the other places in Palolem, which are just huts. Here you have a fan, a proper bathroom/shower, aircon if you want it etc. It was a nice place with friendly staff, a short walk from the beach/village. It would have been better if the sheets had fitted the mattress, if there had been two sheets per bed, and if the room had been cleaned through once in the week. But it was a good place.

We came from Punjab, and were very exited about our week in palolem. From the minute we arrived sunbeach residency to the minute we left, we got the best service we could ever ask for, from the people who worked there. They were very helpful, and very nice. We will definitely recommend this place to others who are planning to go to Goa. Terrific!!
