poor, poor, poor customer service on the front desk side. I arrived with a friend and had asked to be picked up at the airport and gave our flight details... nobody came to pick us up.. we had to make our own way to the resort after a couple of very frustrating conversations with reception. once we got there they claimed airport pick up wasn't included in my package... which was hardly the point as i just wanted to be picked up and i would have gladly paid for it. the manager didnt really seem to be of much help either.. my friend package did include transport but somehow they got confused with another friend arriving later that day...
the stay was ok, if you are into the ayurvedic way of life... which i am not. the treatments are very good and the staff at the treatment centre are lovely!
accommodation is very basic but pleasant, and the pool area is quite nice, however this didnt quite manage to compensate for the bad experience on arrival...
not going back... that's for sure

A very good address for having an ayurveda treatment
Yoga, Doctors, treatments, rooms, food, all is perfect. A nice place to take some times for yourself and to have a kind of retreat. Do not expect to visit, this is not the point, better to stay on the island and enjoy to be with yourself. All the team is helpful and smiling. A very good experience. I just try to plan another visit

I first went the ayurveda retreat 5 years ago for a much overdue panchakarma rejuvination program and was thoroughly satisfied on every level with the cleanliness, the professionalism of the medical staff, the food is fantastic, and the peaceful atmosphere is unique to sometimes, maybe most of the time, chaotic India. I have been to India 36 trips in my life and feel I know the culture and people very well but I would say the highlight of that trip was meeting and getting to know the owners Kuntilal and his dear wife Rekha. You can go the length and breadth of this great nation and better people you will not meet, and I have met many in my years over there. If you go, take the time to get to know them, you will not regret it.
I returned this year again for panchkarma, 3 weeks, and i can only add that the programs overall quality has only improved, yet the humble first class nature of all there, from top to bottom has remained intact.

This place is a diamond in the rough in all respects, I cannot recommend it enough.

Was disappointed with the resort in general. Although scenic location and well maintained, the place lacked soul

On a last minute business trip to Goa, with other city hotels running full, we opted to stay at Devaaya as we had a meeting on Divar Island itself

We were warned that it was a non-alcoholic, vegetarian resort...however, we were not prepared to wake up to No Tea-Coffee! The kettle in the room ( with no cups or glasses) was only meant for drinking hot water... there was no room service, a sleepy walk to the kitchen and some convincing later, they agreed to make us some tea, which came after an impatient wait of half an hour!

The air-conditioning was ineffctive in the room and the bathrooms were ill-equipped- not even a soap dish to place the soaps on

The dinner didn't look appetising so we drove to Panjim for some good wholesome goan food

Breakfast the next morning was equally disappointing - for a wellness resort to not serve fresh fruit or juice? No tea-Coffee on the buffet again ... maybe that is part of the Detox therapy that their guests normally undergo; then how come the food items on the buffet were all labelled "VPK' - for Vatha-Pitta-Kapha... foods that cause these conditions and hence should be avoided??!
