The Leela Goa

We have just spent 12 nights here, and we really loved our stay. The service was simply amazing - i have never experienced anything like it, and i want to give special credit to the following people: Jaiaditya, Abishek, Vishnu and all the other breakfast/dinner waiters in the Mira (buffet) restaurant. They went out of their way to accommodate every dietary preference we had, and even provided food/drinks that were not on display. Also, credit to the chefs - your food was superb! Shaikh and the others at the pool and beach - they also provided incredible service (and always with a smile). Mayank who personally dealt with the (numerous) issues we had with our room and Apoorv who made it up to us - we really appreciated your efforts! Our butler, Nungshi (who was great). Finally, a big thanks to all the buggy staff as well. The pool and beach were lovely, and the free suncream at both locations was a really nice touch. The only thing that was sub standard was the provision for children. The kids' club itself was a fairly small room that never had more than one staff member present. They were not particularly friendly either. For us, with a disabled child, this was a real shame. Also, the outdoor play area comprised of just one small slide ! Lastly, I'd like to address the issue of weddings - they're not nearly as disturbing as some other reviewers have made out. Admittedly, we only had one wedding during our stay, but it did not ruin our experience in any way.

St. Regis Goa Resort - A Luxurious Yet Mixed Experience We recently stayed at the St. Regis Goa Resort in the Manor Pool Suite, and overall, we had a pleasant time. Firstly, the resort itself is stunning—beautiful landscapes, lush surroundings, and several fantastic dining options. The room itself was spacious, but the layout of the Manor Pool Suite felt a bit outdated. Unfortunately, the pool wasn’t as pristine as we had hoped; there were quite a few insects floating on the surface, which detracted from the overall experience. Cleanliness is a major factor when booking a luxury resort, and this was an area that could use attention. Another interesting (and somewhat uncomfortable) aspect of our stay was the presence of a Bollywood celebrity and their security detail. While we understand the need for personal security, the constant watchful eyes of the bodyguards made us feel a bit uneasy. It’s one thing to have security for safety, but feeling scrutinized during a relaxing vacation wasn’t the most pleasant experience.

We stayed at the hotel as a large family group to celebrate a milestone. The hotel property is stunning and while it is in need of a refurb, there are few hotels which are this blessed with space. The staff are exceptional, and we will like to thank them all. In particular the pool bar team of Nityanand sir, Malkeet and Akash went above and beyond to make our stay special. We also had yoga instruction from Paromita, which was brilliant. Look fwd to the next trip here

An absolute gorgeous resort set amongst lush landscapes. The rooms are beautiful and decorated minimally but tastefully. There’s so much for the children to do from feeding rabbits, playing golf, kids club, feeding fish to swimming in the many pools available. The beach is beautiful and immaculately maintained and the food options both at buffet and the wider range of restaurants is fantastic. However the service was really what made our stay even more special and nothing was ever too much trouble for anyone. We have had the most wonderful and memorable stay with our children and can’t wait to return.

1000/10 experience at the St. Regis Goa! Everything was truly exceptional — from the staff and location to the facilities and dining. I’ve traveled to over 40 countries and have stayed at Marriott properties around the world, and I can confidently say that St. Regis Goa is easily in my top 3. The food at every restaurant was amazing — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Our rooms were spacious, impeccably clean, and incredibly comfortable. The spa services were exceptional, offering a perfect mix of luxury and relaxation. And every single staff member we interacted with left a lasting, positive impression. Everyone goes above and beyond to make your stay feel special. A heartfelt thank you for such a wonderful stay. Special shoutout to our butler Ben for his impeccable service! And huge thanks to the incredible staff at the pool restaurant — Nity and his amazing team: Akash, Wenron, and the sweet chef who ensured our food was always fresh and delicious. I enjoyed my experience so much that I know I’ll be back again. I wholeheartedly recommend this property to anyone planning a visit to Goa.
