Arambol Hotels with Balcony

Hi All, I am an avid traveller who covered 8 destinations for workations and leisure in last 7 months. I was in Goa for last 2 weeks. Stayed in amazing 3 and 4 star hotels in North and South Goa but then I did a mistake by looking at their photos and booking Lotus Sutra, Aarambol. This is the worst ever property, me and my wife came across in our travelling journey ever. Even BnB's or shack stays would have been better that Lotus Sutra. Except the view, everything they had is utter useless and baseless and I will share reasons with my post. I paid an amount to them for 2 N which was not even worth out stay which included breakfast and a sea view cottage. As we entered, we noticed that the staff and the reception people are not very welcoming, they literally have no interest in your quick seamless check-in. They are their just to do their job and not for great customer experience. Hopeless breakfast for vegetarians and worst menu ever. We ordered 3 things in veg and all were pathetic in taste. We asked for a match stick from the reception at night to light a candle in our room but nobody came and responded until 1 hour. We called again and we were told sorry sir we do not keep match sticks. Any 1 star hotel also would give or arrange a lighter or match stick from kitchen or keep it for their guests in a destination like Goa but this is not a cottage or a hotel but worst experience for anyone staying. We asked to extend our stay by like 30 mins or 1 hour as our flight was in the evening but we were clearly told no, not possible. The staff literally don't have any courtsey, no ability to handle crowd or arrange any function or event for in house guests. This is not how a chain or a branded hotel is run . Maybe for few years yes but not down the line because this industry works on customer experience and word of mouth and trust me this was the worst deal and mistake I ever did in Goa by booking Lotus Sutra.

Nice hotel, a couple of minutes walk from the beach. There is a grocery store 2 meters from the hotel entrance, there is also a currency exchange office, a fruit stand, and a pharmacy nearby. It’s only a 1-2 minute walk away 😀 I think it’s an ideal location. I lived in a room without air conditioning, a fan was absolutely enough

This is a new hotel in Arambol. The furniture is new, the renovation is new. The owner of the hotel and the staff are very nice people who are ready to help. The hotel is located away from the road, surrounded by nature and silence. I wish you good luck and recommend it!

We had an extremely wonderful stay at this hotel! Our intended plan of just staying for 2-3 days became 11 days as we could not find any other reasons to move to any other hotels or guesthouses in the vicinity. This hotel was beyond perfect for us. Refurbished two years ago, the huge property is located next to souvenir shops, restaurants, convenience stores, vehicle rentals and best of all, an approximately 50m walking distance from the beach right into the heart of the action. We had merely walked in and asked for any available rooms as we were having a horrific experience staying at another nearby property. We were shown a few options and opted for a double room with tv and fridge. Our room is huge and spacious beyond any standard means; more than 40m3 and have all the amenities we required. You can get netflix, prime video and any other channels connected from your accounts to the tv. The whole unit including the bathroom are very clean with modern shower fittings and good water pressure. A big shout out to Khadim, who accommodate to our every needs with prompt, efficient service and always with a smile! We enjoyed our stay tremendously thanks to him! If you are looking for affordable accommodation in Arambol, look no further. This is definitely the place to be.

We had booking on 2nd Dec'23. This Resort is too good in terms of infra and Maintenance. I liked this so much. We friends together went and booked here. This is most suitable if you want to stay with Family as Location is very near to City and there is Swimming pool facility also available. Highlights of the Property 1. Well Maintained Swimming pool 2. Nice and well maintained Garden through out the property 3. Pantry Facility 4. Nicely Maintained AC Rooms The Parking area and Entry area is not so convenient as its not maintained well.

Property is located near beach which is around 5 minutes walk. Property does not have sea view but you can go to beach by walk, nearby market, food etc facilities are very good. Pet is allowed, car parking is present, room are clean and tidy, with hot shower facility, and western toilets, i will recommend this property to others in that budget it is very good. Amenities are good. Staff is good and cooperative.

Room preference given to international tourist first, then to indians. Have been staying at the same hotel for 5 years now for every year, knowing the manager/caretaker. The only negative point about this place, else wont be staying there on every trip. Everything else is up to the standards. But when you feel a sense of partial behavior between customers, its okay to express your views.

Das Hotel ist sehr sauber, liegt direkt am Strand. Auch zu den nächsten Einkaufsgeleiteten ist es nicht weit. Die Leute und der Chef sind sehr freundlich und es mangelt nicht am Komfort. Ich konnte jederzeit von meinem Zimmer aus über den Strand direkt ins Wasser gehen, ohne etwas mitnehmen zu müssen, worauf *** am Strand aufpassen müsste. Das Essen schmeckt ausgezeichnet. Die Küche ist sehr gut. Kulinarisch würde ich eine 10 von 10 geben. Warum ich einen Stern abgezogen habe, für Leute die gerne früh schlafen gehen wollen, ist das nicht geeignet, es sei denn, sie haben einen guten Schlaf. Die Musik geht Abends los und bleibt bis Mitternacht an. Außerdem lassen einen die Verkäufer am Strand nicht in Ruhe, wenn ***, wie ich, nicht in der Lage ist, jedes Mal ein hartes Machtwort zu sprechen. Ich habe es nicht bei jedem geschafft. Andererseits verkaufen sie wirklich schöne und unter anderem auch ”echte” Waren. Störend hierbei ist auch, wenn eine sieht, du kaufst bei einer Kollegin, versuchen sie ihre Ware auch gleich mit anzubieten. Von der Zeit die *** zum Ausspannen nutzen möchte, bleibt einem also nicht viel übrig, wenn *** zu freundlich ist Aber mit Ohropax und einer guten Fähigkeit zur Ignoranz, kann *** hier im kleinen Paradies, richtig gut Urlaub machen und auch alle 5 Sterne vergeben

Плюсы: 1) Небольшая ухоженная красивая территория отеля 2) Очень дружелюбный персонал. 3) Есть горячая вода и кондиционеры в номере. 4) Есть свой хороший ресторанчик в отеле. Он открытый, расположен посередине отеля, там можно собираться с друзьями или заказать еду в номер. 5) Чистый бассейн работающий допоздна. 6) Хорошие завтраки для отелей Северного ГОА (индийский приправленный рис с жаренным арахисом, какие-нибудь жаренные или испеченные лепешки, нарезанные арбузы и ананасы, чай масала и вода. 7) Большой плюс до самого вкусного на пляже ресторанчика ”Food Planet” вам идти от отеля 10 минут. Если вы на пляже Мандрем-Арамболь, ходите кушать только туда, там очень вкусно, любая кухня (индийская, русская, итальянская, израильская, морепродукты, есть тортики и выпечка и т.д.) 8) Wi-fi в отеле относительно хороший, ютуб посмотреть не получится нормально, можно делать аудио, видео звонки через ватсап, читать новости, проверять почту и т.д. Минусы: 1) Самый большой и основной минус это постельное белье и подушки. Фото подушек я прилагаю, белье будет чистое, но старое местами пожелтевшее, местами с какими то пятнами, возможно в какие-то дни будет более менее белое. Но это вроде как проблема всех недорогих отелей ГОА 2) На фото показан номер, который типо улучшенный на первом этаже. Номера уже не новые, есть налет старости и неопрятности. Жить можно, но нуждаются в реновации. В номере 204 не работал телевизор и кондиционер работал в одном только режиме. 3) Отель удален от туристических улочек с кафе, магазинчиками в конце пляжа Арамболь. От отеля вам придется ехать до туда на байке или идти пешком пару километров. 4) До пляже идти около 10 минут и дорога не будет отличаться живописными пейзажом, а скорее наоборот, заболоченные озерца, горки мусора по обеим сторонам дороги и соответствующий запах от них. Примечания: 1) Бутылки с водой можно бесплатно брать в ресторанчике 2) Администратор отеля может вам поменять доллары на рупии по такому же курсу как и в обменниках. 3) Туалетную бумагу если не положили, можно попросить на ресепшене. 4) В двух минутах от отеля (от ворот налево) есть небольшой магазин. Около магазинчика стоит точка по продаже кокосов с очень приветливым и хорошим продавцом. Покупайте кокосы у него, так же у него есть кокосы из холодильника и вкусные кокосовые милкшейки.
