Getting there
Good for walkers
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Goa is a beautiful place. I travel often on business trips and for group meetings. I was in Palolem looking for such a place where I could conduct a group meet for my company. I saw this beautiful place, the entrance looked like a royal haveli. I stepped inside curiously to check, and this happened to be a beautiful resort amidst lush greenery. I decided to stay there over night and to my surprise the price is much less than what was expected. The staff was very well mannered and wear a warm and welcoming smile on their faces. The cottages are quite cozy and have enough room to acomodate at least 2 people or maybe a small family of 3. The garden around the cottages is well maintained. Right in the center is a beautiful swimming pool which is surrounded by sunbeds on the side. There is a small conference hall where small corporate meetings can be held. The facilities they provide are amazing with free Wifi, Hot water geysers in each room, Air conditioning, and a good breakfast too. With so much luxury at such an affordable price, I decided to extend my stay to one more day and enjoyed each moment of my stay there. Overall this was the best experience I ever had and would recommend this to everyone.

Wow, I stumbled across this brand new resort on my journey into Palolem on the hunt for accommodation. If you are looking for affordable accommodation only 5 minutes walk from the beautiful Palolem beach, then look no further...
Akasa Goa, offers airconditioned cottages, hot water, wifi in the cottages and communal areas, a swimming pool and parking set in beautiful gardens. Not forgetting that breakfast is also included in the nightly rate.
I spent 3 nights at Akasa and nothing was too much trouble for the staff who are all so helpful and informative, providing me and also other guests with great suggestions for places to visit, places to eat and also events taking place locally.
The staff are an absolute credit to Akasa and I would like to take this opportunity to thank them for making my time at Akasa so memorable. I will most certainly be returning.
I look forward to seeing you all again soon.

What a lovely surroundings. It’s like being in a tropical forest, watching the beautiful green bee catches flying around out the back and the eagles hovering above, also even managed to see a mongoose out the back. They are slightly dearer a few other ones right on the beach, but to me it’s worth paying a little bit extra just to have a swimming pool for that lovely cool dip. A few people complaining about the breakfast, well you’ve got Indian breakfast, and with us we were more than happy with the omelette on toast. And Whoopi do it cost us £1 to have an extra pot of tea. The ones complaining about the breakfast seem to think it’s a buffet style like what you have all inclusive. It’s not. Also the salty go that is the little restaurant do not have any worries or problems eating there daytime or night time The chef there sheeree sorry about the spelling is outstanding. Even showed us how to cook a couple of lovely meals that we enjoyed there. Same with Prakash and capreesh sorry I’ve no I’ve got the spellings wrong, all in all a wonderful stay. Only downside that it can be on the weekends, a bit loud, the main road which it’s on and dog barking, but hey, we did upgrade, but to be honest with you, I probably would’ve easily saved a couple hundred pound and had one of the slightly smaller places. They’re all nice and the cleaners always did a great job would not hesitate to go back

We're glad you enjoyed the breakfast options, and we appreciate your understanding that it's not a buffet-style setup.

This is a great place to spend your holidays with family or friends. The staff is very friendly, the rooms are very clean and tidy, the resort ambience feels like you are in a jungle/forest, very close to Palolem beach, and above all you will be paying a lot less than what you get. Totally worth the stay and will definitely come again and again. Thank you Team Akasa :)

Akasa in Palolem is a beautiful resort 🏡. I really enjoyed my stay here. This is a beautiful property - helpful manager, fast check in and you are in paradise. It’s close to Palolem beach and shops and restaurants. Also has a vegetarian cafe with tasty smoothies they can serve to the pool 😋 Breakfast is ok for short stay since there are not much choices for complimentary breakfast. The cottages are spacious and well thought through. The linens and towels provided were in a good quality and condition. The staff and management are extremely friendly and are very customer focused and are happy to help you with a smile. I would say a bit pricey but they are giving discounts on subscription and second stay, which was a pleasant surprise for my budget 🤑 Over all for me it was a holiday well spent.. thank you guys, will definitely stay with you again .. 😊👍

To start with the location, it's just 650m away from Palolem beach. Just a 5-7min walking distance. The rooms are clean and well-maintained. You will get the vibe of calmness here. But lacks some basic amenities like TV, Iron, and electric cattle. With a 6.5K / night charge, we can expect these basic services. At breakfast, you'll feel the most as there is no buffet You need to select only one item like dosa/uttapam/omelet. and one tea/coffee. You can't ask for more else, you have to pay for that. The restaurant inside the resort is outsourced and not operated by the Resort. Here the swimming pool has the time from morning 8 am to evening 6 pm. Except these, i feel the property is good and well maintained.

Dear valued guest, I hope that you are keeping well. It was great that you chose us. We appreciate that you have taken the time to give us a review. 3 stars is a good rating but, we would have loved 5, thank you for your suggestions as to what would have encouraged you to give us 5 stars. We continually strive to give good value in line with exceptional service and comfort. We keep our rates as low as possible and most of our guests do go out during their time they are here with us, and so often do not require a TV, however, we appreciate that on occasion guests would love to have that facility We do not have kettles in the rooms for safety reasons and guests often can have drinks either with us or locally and so do not often miss not having a kettle. Our breakfasts are complimentary and we offer the best we can with usually a fruit juice, tea or coffee and main course, all included as complimentary. We are pleased that you enjoyed the swimming pool being open for most of the day and we are delighted that you thought our property to be good and well maintained, as that is our aim so that our guests are comfortable and enjoy their holiday break. May we thank you for choosing to stay with us and we hope you will return on another occasion, as it was a pleasure meeting you. Warm wishes from my whole team. Mark Kind regards John

I searched and searched for somewhere to stay that was in my budget and nice. The two do not always come together. I was lucky and found a new resort in Palolem village. I love the beach but I was happy to hang out on the beach and walk back to the resort.
Plus it has a pool with sun-loungers, where I fell asleep on several occasions. The cottage I stayed in was brand new and the resort had a great energy as the team are new, fresh and really happy to show off and share their new resort.
Every time you come and go you get a typical amazing Goan smile from Belizia (the manager) and her team. I felt at home within a day and it was really hard to pack my back and leave.
Thank you all for looking after me and making me feel so welcome. This is so important as a female solo traveller.
Best wishes to you all.

We enjoyed our stay here , rooms were cleaned when requested , lovely atmosphere and nice pool if you want a break from the beach , friendly and helpful staff. Free breakfast was disappointing as I am vegan and they made me pay for a dash of plant milk , their main menu is really good so don’t be fooled by this, as free breakfast is very limited. Apart from this everything else was perfect , very close to the town and beach and we stayed in a premium room with a cute balcony and more space than the smaller huts.

I really had a great experience at akasa . Very good hospitality by the reception . Great location to stay as palolem beach is 5 min walk . There is celopatra Resturant Right opposite the resort and has all the cuisines . There is a vegan restaurant in the resort which is not bad but a bit expensive . The entire staff is very helpful and would assist you with transportion and general information . Rooms are clean as you can feel that you are in the nature . Hot water is available 24hours in the geyser . Pool is decent enough to enjoy . Don’t expect a 5star hotel but very nice and comfortable cottages . Overall a great stay and would recommend it to others . !!
