Very Good

Very quiet local beach nearby, practically to ourselves during the day but a bit busier overnight. Much nicer than the tourist beaches
Without a car, would be reliant on taxi etc to get anywhere else.
The service was amazing, the kokum welcome drink was lovely!
The service was very good. Folks were helpful. Though sometimes my requests weren't well understood.
The facilities weren't great. I had to change my room because the toilet seat wouldnt shut properly and the shower wouldnt turn on properly. The new room was ok, but i dont think it was vented correctly because it would sometimes have a sewage smell in the room. This was especially bad on my last night there.
Food was ok. Nothing spectacular, but not bad.
Overall, a serviceable and not a terrible stay. But I wouldn't be eager to stay there next time.
Oh, and there is no pool at this hotel. The pool is at The Crescent, and guests are allowed to go over there (not the same thing as having one on property).
Except for check in; my stay at this facility was good.
At checkin the receptionist at 1st could not allot me rooms on the sea facing side (for which I had paid while choosing this hotel on line). Then without any further discussion he handed over to me electronic keys of two rooms in 02 different floors ( I was traveling with my family). That made me feel uncomfortable, ultimately a lady ( a senior) was called there and then the things went on smoothly.
I feel at first they try to throw at you whatever junk they want and if the customer is not OK with it then only they provide what the customer is entitled to.
The location is far from ideal if you want to explore what Panaji has to offer. However, it's easy enough to get around and the quieter locale makes for a pleasant stay.
The hotel itself was great and staff excellent. My only complaint was that the wi-fi was unable for our entire stay (4 nights). We had to use Jionet, which only allowed 1GB per activation and requires a phone to connect. As we had 3 devices to connect (and only 2 phones), that became increasingly irritating and such a hassle for such a highly regarded hotel. The bed spread also had a small tear in it and the water hose to wash after using the toilet was broken, but I didn't mind those as much.
Every staff member we ran into was excellent. They were all very helpful in every aspect and very friendly. Sioni, the Friend Desk Receptionist, was also excellent. The staffing was really the "saving grace" to any and all issues we faced during our stay.
Soo nice place and soo co-operative staff.
I love to recommend my colleagues and friends to visit and stay this hotel. Near to every big place and not so costly to have any burdne in your pocket.
Friendly environment and good location near to sea and sea view is also auwsome

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
Good staff
Very helpful staff - the whole team were very welcoming. Complimentary bottled water every day was great!
The rooms are a bit rundown. We didn't visit the beach but it was walkable. Not much to do close by however there is a travel expert to assist in advising and organising activities.
Op wandelafstand van het strand, heel vriendelijke service en uitstekend ontbijt.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The sea facing room which cost extra was not really sea facing. Internet was patchy, cockroaches all over the washroom. Staff was well receptive about the feedback hopefully the issues would be fixed. But the stay was disappointing.
Sauberes, gut gelegenes Hotel. In wenigen Minuten gelangt man zum Strand und dank dem Taxidienst des Hotels kann man auch Goa bequem entdecken. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfreich. Das Essen im Restaurant sowie zum Frühstück war vielfältig und lecker.
We had gone to Goa for National Bridge Tournament in July 2018. We stayed in Hotel Varanda Do Mar for 3 nights. Our overall experience of hotel stay was very satisfying. I would like to thank Assistant Manager Mr Zul and The Manager Mr K Prabhu, who personally took pains to make our hotel stay pleasant & enjoyable.
We stayed here for 3 nights. Hotel is close to beach and easy access to go to beach. Hotel staff was courteous and vey helpful. My 85 years old mother was taken care very well by hotel staff providing all necessary stuff for all 3 days. Restaurant breakfast was perfect as food options took all guests into consideration. Proximity to Panaji downtown is added advantage. Very reasonably priced Veranda do mar is definitely worth staying at when you visit Goa.
