We stayed at the DonJoao for three weeks in Jan 2012 - my first holiday in Goa! Our apartment (bedroom,sitting room,bathroom and balcony) wassimply furnished, really comfortable beds, hot water when we wanted and a fridge to keep drinks etc. The staff couldn't be more friendly and helpful, the gardens beautifully kept with a spotlessly clean pool. We thoroughly enjoyed... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 3 weeks last March. We had such a nice time. We had a small apartment on the first floor, with a balcony and a little kitchen. The room was spotlessly clean, and was serviced everyday when we went to the beach. The manager and all the staff were very nice, friendly and ever... More

Stayed there with my wife late November 2011. We had a pleasant "mini apartment" with a double bedroom, bathroom & sitting room with a balcony (I think that all rooms have them). It is certainly further than 500 metres from the beach though, but it is a pleasant enough walk. Barking dogs round the back were something of an annoyance... More

Recommended to the couple we were travelling with as they have stayed here before. On arrival at 1am we woke the staff in reception as they were sleeping (this is normal) and the hotel also has a security guard at night. We were allocated temp rooms in the large block, these were large a bedroom leading to a wetroom bathroom,... More

We have now stayed at four different 2 star Hotels in India and they were all far superior to Don Joao. On arrival at the... More

Stayed here for 2 weeks with my daughter and we both agreed this is a very good value budget hotel. The rooms are spacious and cleaned regularly and staff are helpful. Our flight was early and we arrived before 6.30 am and our room was not ready but the room boys hurried to clean our room, while we relaxed on... More

My wife and stopped here over the Christmas period and New Year. The apartment was large and cleaned on a daily basis. The grounds and mature and cleaned of leaves etc daily. The staff were all very helpful and good humored. The only small faults was that whilst the Christmas Day and New Years Eve buffet was excellent the price... More
