Along the winding lanes of Gauravaddo, lies Ocean Palms Goa. The resort in North Goa is set amongst peaceful native settlements, just off the main Calangute Road and is just 10 minutes walking from Calangute Beach. Ocean Palms features an array of spacious rooms and suites where you can experience authentic Goan hospitality and ultra-modern facilities. Our resort near Calangute Beach also features two restaurants namely the Terra and the Nautilus Restaurant & Bar. The old-world charm of our resort and the commitment of our excellent staff make for a cherished stay at Ocean Palms Goa, one of the best resorts in Goa. The resort is located in a quite area of the main road. So you can enjoy a peaceful stay; at the same time it is hop-skip-and-jump away from popular tourists spots. Ocean Palms gives guest the best of both worlds.

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.
We really liked the hotel. Good service, the rooms are clean, they clean every day. Very friendly, welcoming staff. The food at the hotel is good, but a little expensive compared to cafes. The pool is not very big, but it is clean, and a special person looks after it all day. We didn’t really like the location, you leave the hotel and immediately find yourself on the street where there is a lot of noise, so it would take 2 minutes to cross the road to the sea. There are many different shops near the hotel. A leisurely 10 minute walk to the sea. The road to the sea is calm, there are few cars, only debt shops around. Overall, we were very pleased and will probably stay at this hotel again someday. In general, I recommend it to everyone!

Visited on a solo trip in January, half board for 2 weeks. Overall had a pleasant stay, the place is well maintained with lots of staff and kept clean. The food was excellent both in the outdoor restaurant and the buffet upstairs, shout out to the Malai dessert dish, lovely! The set-up of the hotel is a bit strange, in 3-4 separate buildings, sorrounding an un-related house, which has an annoying dog that tends to bark all night in the garden, where they also occasionally light fires. Baths on the balcony for some upgraded rooms, which i believe were occupied by indian tourists during my stay, thus not used. My housekeeping man - Purna was excellent, and went out of his way to ensure my stay was comfortable. Air-con and fan was sufficient for me personally, all though was not able to bring the temperature below 23°c in my room. The pool was on the cold side for me only heated by the sun, and the gym very basic. Massage cheaper at Snips across the road. Tui rep helpfull and accessible. One main road to cross before a 10 mins ish walk to the beach, location not bad. I found with the reception staff, the males were not as nice as the females. Gate keeper and bell-boy down there both very nice. The young waiter ladies working at the restaurant were also very nice, entertainment repeated weekly. Although there was a lot of staff-to-guests ratio, service was still slow at times. Shower was fine allthough the hot water would take 6-7 minutes to heat up, especially at night. Wifi was fine, had to call reception for new code a couple of times, which was very quickly answered. Would return to this hotel.

It was a family visit for first time in Goa. We stayed for 4 nights in this Hotel and the experience was awesome. All the staffs were professional and so much polite. Excellent service and customer centric make this hotel must for Goa Travellers. Food was awesome. I would like to give thanks to Mr. Varghese for booking our comfortable stay and for making necessary arrangements for first day at the last moment as our flight got rescheduled. Special Thanks to Mr. Suvojit from the Restaurant who has taken special care for us on Tuesday for providing us Veg meal (without onion / garlic) both for breakfast and dinner. All the other Restaurant staff are very much polite and professional. Food was having good taste and is not too much oily not too much basic but maintaining a good balance. Quantity of the food is enough and they provide value and don't loot you like Delhi Restaurants. You spend 800 Must try the following cuisines:
1. Fish Fingers 2. Honey Chili Potato 3. Veg Hakka Noodles
They also provide contact for professional Car Rental service. Please don't take any car rental from outside if possible as they are not sometimes genuine.
Location from Calangute Beach: Walking Distance. Cross the road and take the street opposite to Hotel which will take hardly 5-10 mins and during the journey you can have access to the market. Not recommended to take this road to go to Calangute Beach in late night as most of the shops will be closed making it lonely. Use car if you want to go to beach in the night after 10 p.m.

Not a great experience, superior rooms are very poorly maintained and stink, air conditions are out dated and didnt even work , despite multiple calls early checkin was only provided on extra charges which is fine but at least they need to make sure basic amenities are working when the guests arrive at 5am, later we were upgraded to a premium room where coincidentally again the AC didn’t work, and later we were shifted to a different room. But the weird thing is there are very basic amenities missing in the premium rooms- a mirror isnt there in the room and you always have to use the bathroom mirrors. Stuffs seem very untrained baring one or two. Overall wasn’t a great experience

We stayed in November 2022 Chose this hotel on the recommendation of a friend.
Overall observation and points 1. Hotel rooms feels old and not maintained 2. Rooms doesn't have fresh vibe. 3. Chairs in balcony are too old the color of plastic is also gone. 4. Bathroom have no toiletries. only shampoo dispenser and hand wash dispenser.(carry your own) 5. They have daily entertainment program in the premises for the guests 6.Buffet breakfast have limited options 7. People were checking in late night and it gets noisy if your room is near the stairs 8. Room size is very small and very basic compared to price they take for the superior room. 9. Beach is not very near and it will take 10 mins walk in reality to reach the beach 10.Tata sky not recharged only free channels Available 11.Market and restaurants are nearby 12.Spa is good. 13. Their vegetable dal khichdi is good
Overall very average and manageble for 1 night stay.

We stayed here for 2 nights in a superior room which was little side pool facing,222 to be exact. All precautionary measures were in place. The food was good and fast to arrive. Breakfast buffet has wide spread with limited fruits option. There is a book reading,carrom and table tennis table near pool. The pool looks huge in pics but it’s small and can take 5-6 people to look crowded. Gym facility also available. 3 adults may crowd this superior room but works ok with 2 adults and a child. Room has a shower and tap(small kids difficult to give bath without a mug and bucket or mobile shower handle) staff are courteous and prompt. Calangute beach is about 2.4kms and baga about 3.5kms from here. One can walk directly opposite to hotel entry for about 950m and land in a less crowded beach , probably also calangute. Shacks are there to serve but does not have the glitter and crowd like proper calangute. For privacy this could be perfect. The hotel was 50% occupied when we arrived but we were denied early check in(11:30am) so we spent some time near by and came back at 2:00pm for check in. Goa has this trend of starting late (11-1pm) and closing very late at night(12-3am) especially for hotel, shops or restaurants. Overall good experience.

Our initial days in Goa were absolutely delightful! We savored moments of relaxation, leisure, and exploration. Our stay at Ocean Palms Goa, just a short 5-minute stroll from Calangute Beach, proved to be ideal. The property itself offers a plethora of entertainment options, ensuring an immersive Goan experience without venturing far. Each evening, special performances infused the atmosphere with vibrant Goan party vibes. Additionally, their jacuzzi rooms provide the perfect sanctuary for added relaxation during your vacation. Notably, Terra, their in-house cafe, delighted our taste buds with every dish, earning a chef’s kiss for each. Be sure to consider Ocean Palms Goa for your next Goan getaway!

We booked the standard room. The breakfast's taste was not in accordance to our taste, but the choices were aplenty. The rooms were very tidy and we had every facility we'd want in a budget vacation, press; hair dryer; dental kits; shaving kit etc. A mini fridge is also available for your beer :). Laundry rates are also very competitive, room service is great, staff is very helpful, what more do you want? And one of the biggest pro: the location of the hotel, Pind Balluchi is walking distance (note for Delhi/NCR people), Taste of India is walking, nearest beech is 700m; however, Calangute Main Beach is approx 2km. Candolim is also approx 2km. If you want cars on rent, you can find it just in front of Decathlon (again walking distance), if you want scooty on rent, just adjacent to Hotel you can find. Parking in the hotel is sufficient and staff can park your scooty and cars if you can't.

What an incredible hotel! From the moment we arrived we have been treated like family. The rooms are spotless with great amenities. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff here, and you are truly treated to a personal and individual experience. We were on an all inclusive package which was great as the food was fabulous - also the local red and white wine is lovely. As we sit having lunch waiting for our transport to the airport we are truly sad to be leaving people who have welcomed us into their hearts and we will definitely be leaving a part of our heart here.
