The Postcard Saligao

The Postcard Saligao feels more like a home than a hotel. It is small, cozy, elegant, tranquil and very relaxing. The staff is first class in their attentiveness, knowledge and service. The rooms are elegant and pleasant and the bathrooms are very nice. The food was also very good. All in all, very recommended for an escape from the city and a quiet hideaway in a beautiful setting.

This 225 year old property still maintains its old school Goan charm while The Postcard team provides a very luxurious modern experience including all amenities. The entire experience right from check-in to check out is relaxing and screen free. There is a very welcoming ambiance created both by the very helpful staff and the property. With no reception desk, it does not feel like a hotel and the welcome drink options are divine, so your stay will be off to a great start. The rooms are spacious and the definition of quiet luxury. They are equipped with every amenity you could possibly require. The bar cart is stocked with some of the best tea we have ever tried, alongside various types of coffee and snacks such as chocolate balls, sakarpara and chewda, all made fresh and in-house daily. The staff is never seen but is always there having anticipated your needs before you even voice them, we received protein bars by the pool when we spent a lot of time in the water and were served peanuts and cashews when we were enjoying the excellent cocktails. Postcard has a very unique concept of anytime breakfast wherein they prepare fresh food comprising of local delicacies such as Ros Omelette, Patal Bhaji etc. It is highly recommended to run through the whole breakfast menu in small quantities as it is hard to pick any one dish that we liked above the rest. The chef prepares excellent chicken caffreal, pork vindaloo, masala fried fish and lamb xacuti. All the dishes were served with butter garlic poee (local bread that they buy fresh everyday from a local baker). Som Chander ***** with Mukul and Ankit, with the rest of the staff put together an excellent evening to celebrate my father-in-law’s eightieth birthday. The decorations, cake and the entire staff being present to sing him happy birthday brought him a lot of joy. They curated a special dinner menu for the birthday dinner which was lip smacking. We would highly recommend everyone to try each and every cocktail that they offer, especially the Citrus Smash, a pani puri inspired drink. Postcard has truly redefined what a hotel means to us and set a new hospitality standard and we look forward to staying at their other properties.

Best luxury boutique hotel in Goa. Excellent location, great food and the best service ever. Just 5 rooms so all very personal and intimate. A very special mention for Shikha and her wonderful team for making everything so memorable. The last room on the first floor is the cosiest.

The service here is impeccable. The entire staff goes out of their way to make you comfortable and to accommodate every possible need. Loved our stay here. The breakfast here has been one of the best I’ve ever eaten. Extremely unique and flawless.

My husband and I spent 3 nights at this hotel after a trip of one month in Orissa and Karnataka and definitely it turned out to be the right choice . The hotel is a jewel: small , only few rooms in a quiet village far from the noise of the more central areas of Goa : here you hear only the birds singing . We were in Descanso room which was amazing and, as the name suggests , really allowed us a very good rest. What impressed us was the fact that it’s you that decide , in complete freedom ,when to have your meals which are a la carte. Food was excellent and the chef always satisfied our requirements , cooking dishes with no spices at all ( after one month in India we appreciated a lot food with no spices! ).There was also a good selection of drinks and we loved to have wine at dinner . The service was excellent and the staff discreet but always caring : Ankit was great ! Shikha , with her smile and and cheerfulness was so welcoming and very helpful giving us the information we needed . The small nice presents every evening made us felt pampered . In the room there was a high quality toiletries , bottles of filtered water , a nice amenity trolley with sweets and snacks , different every day , and a very good choice of coffees and teas . During the hottest time of the day the swimming pool offered us a cooling pause . For the last day we had booked a late check out and we appreciated very much their suggestion to extend it at a more convenient time . Thank you again for everything you did for us .

We recently had the great pleasure of staying at this hotel for 3 nights... which was much too short a time! From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel very welcome in a personal manner unlike other hotels. Nothing was too much trouble! We loved the room and general grounds and appreciated being able to eat meals outside! Even breakfast at 6.30am on our own outdoor table wasn't too much trouble! Food was good and we were able to sample some Goan dishes! We loved the little notes and gifts left on the bed each day! A charming touch! The team were wonderful, attentive and efficient! A haven of peace and tranquillity after exploring the busy areas of Goa!
