Great guest house, close to beach, Mandrem itself is quite and laid back, but you can walk along the beach to Arambol (about 30 mins) and taxi back about 200 ruppes, loads for hippes and bars etc. More

The rooms were so-so and only cleaned when I asked. The food was crap. I liked the staff (who work long hours) but there's no one there who's really overseeing things, so it's poorly maintained. I'd recommend a place right on the beach instead -- the view would make up for any faults of the hotel. More

I stayed her for 3 days in January 2012. The rooms are basic but clean, the A/C was efficient and the TV was small but OK for the size of the room. The hotel is only a few minutes walk from the beach. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The best feature of this hotel was the restaurant, probably... More

Cuba retreat is located in mandrem which is not frequented by your usual touristy crowd. The place is not so far away from the main Mandrem market. The rooms were clean and were air conditioned.

Loved the atmosphere, great staff, very accomodating, it was easy to switch rooms if the TV was broken, only thing to beware is ground floor room is very hot without airconditioning. The food was very good, I had a chance to get a beach hut but I preferred the Cuba More

We were a group of 6 people ( 3 couples ) and had only visited Mandrem on day trips before. On the recommendation of a good friend we decided to give the 'Cuba Retreat' a go and what a good decision it was. Kevin was so good to us and he made our stay so enjoyable. Our group ages ranged... More

What a place to be! First of all, we'd like to express our special thanks to service team led by Kevin with great support of Sukanti - "the girl behind the books"!!! After a couple of days we felt the familiar athmosphere and friendlyness of all staff members who allowed us to feel like home! (Also thanks to "Icelao" and... More

Made a big mistake. The Mandrem beach is nice, but it has less number of hotels and this place seemed OK from Tripadvisor, so we made a booking. Overall, the accommodation was very sub-standard. The toilet seat almost broke everytime I used it (and I am not overweight)- rooms were small- the fan made so much noise that you almost... More
