First of all its a level of fraud to call this property as five star hotel. Maximum it can be called a Three Star hotel , as there is hardly anything in the hotel which can be called A FIVE STAR STANDARD. The Hotel Staff was rude and hardly had any courtesy to greet the guest in a the rightful... more

We were staying in Panaji but decided to stay for 1 night in this resort on recomendations from my friends. Resort is located in posh area but in secluded place making difficult to walk from main road. Hotel Complex is quite impressive with casino at ground floor. Rooms were maintained good with all amenities. Washrooms were not too impresive. Hotel... more

It was our Wedding Anniversary, therefore we decided to treat ourselves to a stay away from home. Unfortunately, it did not turn out to be quite as memorable as we had hoped. I had been intending to book directly with the Cidade de Goa, however, we booked the Vainguinim Valley Resort in Dona Paula SOLELY on the basis of MakeMyTrip.com's... more

We have just spent New Year at the Vainguinim Valley Resort, and had such a fantastic time, we wanted to tell the world.. We had a large room with a balcony which overlooked the pool and garden areas, which were absolutely beautiful. The staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough for you. Food at the restaurants in the hotel... more

The food was good but repetitive, if you don't like curry you will struggle, as it is served every dinner and breakfast ! The pool area is not very comfortable and the elderly might... more

A top class hotel just as the other reviews say. it is just in the wrong place. The Cicade de goa has the small beach to its self and we found the beach not up to standard. Just along the road, Dona Paula jetty. what a dump.The sea pebbles was an interesting experience. W e had to go by taxi... more

Stayed 7 nights in December 06. The hotel itself could not be faulted - the rooms were as expected for a 4/5 star hotel. Bright, clean and airy with plenty of space and good value. The staff were brilliant and there was nothing they would not gladly do for you. Food was of an equally high standard. The majority of... more

I booked two rooms at this place through First Choice at a bargain price for what you get (4star building aiming for 5star service, B&B, airport transfer, for £50 per room per night). The hotel is newish and trying very hard to offer international standards. There are some flaws (notably boring swimming pool), but overall the rooms and facilities are... more
