The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Really good Culinary Experience

The dining at the resort was excellent. Chef Paul and his team, including Chef Jesu and Chef Birendra, prepared exquisite dishes that catered even to my young child's dietary needs, which was such a relief. Each meal was a good experience with a perfect blend of local Goan flavors as well as international cuisine. The personal attention from the chefs made all the difference, ensuring every guest felt special and well-fed.

Spacious and Comfortable Rooms

The rooms were impressively large and airy, with a lovely balcony offering views over the pool. It was clear that despite being an older hotel, the rooms were meticulously maintained and very clean. I appreciated the thoughtful touches, such as multiple water bottles being provided daily, which added to the comfort of my stay.

I had an amazing time at this resort! The grounds were beautifully maintained, and we had quick access to the beach, making it perfect for a relaxing getaway. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable, especially when my husband fell ill. However, there were a couple of noisy wedding celebrations during our stay, which could be disruptive if you're not a fan of that atmosphere. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, especially if you love family-friendly activities.

The Caravela Beach Resort provided a fantastic getaway in South Goa, with lush greenery and an overall tranquil vibe. My stay here was marked by top-notch service and enjoyable amenities, although the remote location might not suit everyone. Dining options were decent but not exceptional, particularly concerning seafood variety. It's a great spot for relaxation, but you may need to travel to experience the lively atmosphere of North Goa.

Our stay at the resort was quite enjoyable, especially with its vast grounds and clean, private beach. The friendly staff made our experience pleasant, and the breakfast buffet was a highlight. However, we found the cleanliness in our room lacking upon check-in, and while the room itself was comfortable, it felt a bit dated. Overall, it's a lovely spot for a getaway, but there are definitely areas for improvement.
