Being around over two decades, Carina, a family run resort, set in the midst of lush green fields and tall swaying palms, in the village of BENAULIM, SOUTH GOA is an oasis of tranquility and relaxation, where time stands still and still a 8-min walk away from the unspoiled Benaulim beach. With a team of friendly and helpful staff committed to serve you, we are ideal for those on a budgeted holiday since we offer you value for your money. We are sensitive to your taste, your feelings and your preferences. After all we genuinely feel that every guest is very dear to us, not because we are in the hospitality business, but because we believe, this is our heritage. Amidst spacious and beautifully landscaped gardens and fruit orchards, the rooms along with our multi cuisine restaurant and large swimming pool add more spark to our popularity.

Somewhat walkable
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.
I spent 5 weeks at the Corina during February and March 23 and review it as a budget 3 star hotel. Located in a quieter area about 1 km from centre of Benaulim It has 32 rooms with extensive gardens and pool and is very quiet. The rooms are large and clean. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were mainly Indian food but the staff willingly cooked food to my liking. I ate there on an evening twice and the food was good. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay that there and would not hesitate to return

Beautiful and peaceful stay. Even if you reside in Goa,Carina Beach resort shows you another dimension of it. It’s nature oriented environment,Pleasing sounds of the birds and the activities it offers simply makes your stay worth every penny.Food is delicious but if you think otherwise, the resort allows you to order food from out too!Apart from the resort,being just 1km away from the Benaulim beach gives the location a bonus.Highly recommend giving it a shot.

We really enjoyed our stay at Carina and will definitely come back.
What we loved: Location - about 1k away from the main tourist and beach streets. Yes, you have to walk a bit but the roads felt safe enough and it meant more peace and quiet at night.
Staff - Reception staff always positive, friendly, caring and helpful. We arrived on an early morning flight from mumbai and were able to checkin early. The cleaning team were also lovely, very meticulous. The manager was also always on hand to check of everything was ok. He kindly fixed an internet connectivity issue we had at the beginning super quickly. Security staff also friendly and trustworthy.
We went at the start of the season when the maintenance teams were still plastering / painting / repearing monsoon wear and tear, so yes aesthetically there was room for improvement but it was being done when we were there.

Had a very pleasant stay at the resort and the courteous staff made it even more better. The rooms are well maintained and offer a nice lush green view from the balcony. The restaurant and the pools were shut down due to COVID restrictions but they do serve you food directly to your room. The serene beaches in South Goa are pretty close by from the resort making it an added advantage.
Overall we enjoyed the stay here and would totally recommend it!

We stayed at this resort for 6 nights. The gardens are lovely as is the pool. The room was clean and spacious and had a nice balcony overlooking the pool. The staff were all very nice and helpful. Breakfast was included in the price. The beach is about a 15 minute walk from the hotel. The resort is about a 10 minute walk from all the shops and restaurants. It was a nice relaxing place to stay. They provide towels at the pool and have loungers and the pool was never crowded when we were there. I would definitely stay here again, only for longer next time. We really enjoyed this resort.

Stayed at Carina with family,and it was absolutely a delight. The peace and calm gives you best of the two worlds,the resort is located in a quiet place away from the noise and hustle. The moment you feel you need some action just walk to the Benaulim beach. The staff is helpful. The lawn area at night is something you must try specially if you like to watch stars at night. A must try place for holiday lovers.

The resort is located in good place... we stayed in pool facing room...we felt the washrooms could be better..this had a leaking tap. The staff are friendly. Though we had limited options for breakfast,the food was made tasty which is good.

Despite the pandemic,the covid situation was very well handled by the staff and members at Carina Beach Resort.We had a comfortable stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable.The scenery is very pleasing.We were allowed to order food from a restaurant nearby however it is made sure the food is delivered at the entrance of the hotel no where beyond.All safety protocols were seen into.Sanitation and temperature checks at all times. Staff were kind and friendly and made the environment very comfortable.
Worth the trip and money.Highly recommend.

There is absolute peace at resort. Like one likes when on a holiday. There are swings for children. Pool for everybody. Lovely outside seating areas. Food is good. Staff is humble and polite. Trinity beach abd benaulim beach both are very close. Play area for kids is also there. Just one suggestion for management make pool area with partition for kids also. Definitely worth staying experience.
