Waste of such a beautiful property! Slightly dated but has a great potential if managed well! The staff is untrained and unprofessional! I came here for a quiet time after 4 days in Taj panjim and I am not impressed at all! The rooms are decent size but was not cleaned well before I checked in! The bedside tables were sticky with sugar syrup! didnt get hot water on both days! The breakfast spread is decent but poorly managed! The live station are in the center of the room with the other spread surrounding it! So guests wanting eggs or fruits have to be in same line! The glass water bottle was not cleaned and had black marks at the top! Pic attached! The staff at the reception didn't know what time the restaurants are open when I wanted to go to OKO for dinner, he said it's open only for lunches whereas someone else told me it's open by the time I had a boring dinner at their Canacona restaurant! The bar was empty which is understandable but serving a 2-3 days stale wine is not acceptable! The guy did not bother to open a new bottle for a glass of wine! Other 5 star hotels would have gone over and beyond! Equally untrained staff at the reception and all restaurants! The shack had no shack vibes! Ordered chicken cafreal and the chicken was not fresh! Ordered pasta for dinner in room and they sent french fries! Therapy room in the spa had no spa vibes! Just a room with a wobbling massage bed in the center! I regret not reading the reviews prior to booking! Though the property is

The property is beautiful. You can't fault the attention to the grounds surrounding the hotel. However the stay was below average for me. The rooms are dated and contained mold in the bathrooms. The front desk staff were very rude and unwelcoming. One even called me at 7AM in the morning to query something (not the wake up call I asked for). Upon checkout, I asked to leave left luggage for a few hours. The front desk agent seemed put out by this request and pointed at some non-descript location in the distance and threw a luggage tag at me. The restaurants were average. The food quality at restaurants in nearby Palolem beach were far superior and cheaper. The breakfast buffet was like a circus. Tip to the management - highly recommend you update your keycard system. In modern hotels, the keycards would not be deactivated if you hold it close to your mobile phone. The hotel grounds are huge and it became tiring walking backwards and forwards to reception to keep reactivating my keycards.

I recently stayed at the Lalit. I was blown away by the stunning beach. The rooms were outdated and needed modernisation, but they were clean and functional. However, the highlight of my stay was definitely the beach. The sand was soft and the water was crystal clear. I was able to relax and soak up the sun all day. The staff was friendly and helpful, making sure that my stay was as pleasant as possible. Meraj was super helpful and couldn't do enough for us. They also provided a good breakfast selection every morning which was a nice touch. The Golf course and Gym were amazing with a decent set-up. The restaurants were ok in the hotel and had a good selection of food for different dietary requirements. In conclusion, while the rooms at this hotel are in need of an upgrade, the breathtaking beach more than made up for it. If you're looking for a ok hotel option and don't mind sacrificing some amenities for a fantastic beach experience, this hotel is worth checking out.

Decent 3 Night Stay
No checkin procedures like welcome drinks and warm greetings was done. It was a cold welcome. The property had only one golf cart/ buggy which was odd considering the massive area and Incase guests wants a tour. We had to wait 10 minutes each time if we needed a beach drop or a property tour. Apparently they don’t allow your personal cabs to come in, they will wait outside the gate and a buggy will drop you there, which again is an inconvenience. Rooms are specious, and comfortable- we booked sea view suite. The overall experience otherwise was good, including private beach and shack(sea side restaurants) in room dining, and breakfasts options.

The beach is only the usp of this property. Garden and golf area is well maintained. But food is not good as well as rooms are big but not well maintained. There is a smell inside the room, no ventilation vent in the washroom, switch boards are not working and the list goes on! So if you want peaceful and calm beauty than it’s for you but food taste is not good and price will burn your pocket!

I a stone twice in my mouth. Only good restaurant is Pan Asian on first floor. There was nothing in the evening..no live entertainment..nthing actualy to do if you decidee to stay in property. Also checking and billing are a mess. I think they are understaffed. Great property poor management

Beautiful traditional property in South Goa
Huge property beautifully decorated and full of greenery everywhere. Pros : Rooms (Garden View) are well decorated and very specious and big in size with working desk and sofa sets. a-la-carte food every item ordered was great in taste although a bit expensive due to room service charges.The beach is very clean and pristine, beach sack is also good for sitting long hours in the evening. Cons : Complementary breakfast spread is not up to the mark and the quality of bacon etc are not good. The bathrooms needs a bit of renovation, no shower curtains, water leaks from the shower enclosure

Bad Service not accepted from The Lalit
We had booked for 1 night , check in expirence was horrible , not even a welcome drink was offered nor a bottle of water... our room was upgraded which was a pleasant surprise , we time and again had to call the operator for a buggy as which was never denied but never reached us even .. the whole hotel was only concentration of some wedding group and other guest were treated neglected ... We also have paid for the 2rooms we booked and this kind of service is not acceptable. i need to mention that there was vehicular movement on the lawns of the hotel of the wedding group which put our kids to risks..i had to rush to the front desk and inform Ms Mamta about the same but sadly nothing was done and as per her it was normal . requesting the management to look into this as its totally un acceptable

I loved the beautiful and spotlessly clean swimming pool, and the close proximity to the beach. The food was EXCELLENT. The hotel wasn't crowded, and even the children of the other guests were well-behaved, making for a pleasant and peaceful time. The price was a real bargain, too. What a great vacation!

Disappointed; not the usual Lalit experience.
Let's start with the positives: - Beach is really nice - better than the ones we saw in other resorts in South Goa; hotel's own shacks/benches plus a few other vendors'; clean beach; semi private so wasn't crowded - Staff is courteous and wants to help Now, the not-so-good things: - Old property; needs better maintenance and bit of renovation - Booked a sea-view family suite; furniture in the room was old and squeaky; water from the washroom seeping through - Staff was courteous but super-slow; e.g. the tv stopped working one evening, we called at the reception/house-keeping, then again reminded them in the morning, electrician came at 4pm the next day when we were resting in the room (kept pressing the bell till we opened the door) - Food (in-room dining) not good in taste, though super expensive (one vada pav for Rs. 600+) - Breakfast was ok-ish; though most of the items were not kept hot and the staff took forever to refill; also, same 4-5 main items get repeated everyday. Also, the staff will come with a tab in hand every single day (!) and ask you to fill it while you are eating

Exceeded Expectations - As Always
We've had an awesome experience at the Chandigarh branch, and with that in mind, I booked this property, for my first visit in Goa. Starting from scratch, we were lucky enough to have airport transfers included in our hotel booking, and that whole experience was a charm. We did meet the staff at the designated meeting spot, and were in a cab within no time. The drive was picturesque, winding down South Goa, with the driver sharing interesting tidbits and driving extremely well. The one down side to the property, it is a bit secluded, with nothing worthwhile in the walking distance, but that's the only major gripe we had. Welcome at the resort was exceptional, with courteous staff all around (all the staff that we came across was highly courteous throughout the stay, greeting everytime they crossed and assisting ang going beyond their way for that exceptional service). The welcome drink was tasty, the check in was a breeze and they did let us know the major highlights of our stay. The property is spotless, not a thing out of place, lawns maintained, rooms clean, pool shiny, and to top it off, the beach was the cleanest one till date that I've been too! That includes beating some good beaches from Thailand. Crystal clear waters and not a single bit of mess on the beach (which I observed was always being cleaned in the morning). No bad smells, no stray animals, nothing bad in place. Cut off due to character limit, awesome place, must visit. Highly recommended!
