Majorda Beach Resort

We went to this hotel back in 2007/8 and it can definitely be said that it was one of the worst holidays of my life. The accommodation, for an alleged five star hotel, was rather disappointing. That however is not a major problem with the hotel. They have an appalling system for 'all inclusive' food. This turned out to be food vouchers on only half of the holiday (bearing in mind this was 2 weeks). They have an indoor pool which was infested with mosquitos buzzing around it because it was so stagnant.

The real cheek lies in the fact that they seem to think they can charge astonishingly high prices for this rubbish. The duty manager was always away whenever we needed him. We had to use the internet facilities, again a rip off, to check emails. When we went into the dinky room it was flooded with employees like it was a cramped break room for them. The majority of the staff can barely speak english. The food and hygiene was terrible, as a witnessed children handling the buffet food and putting it back into the containers for others to eat. This lead to me getting very ill and having a hotel doctor to be called. he put me on 7, yes 7 pills a day. After 2 days nothing was happening so I stopped taking them and what do you know I'm recovering. Again this demonstrates the shear incompetence and lack of knowledge the staff. When you are on the hotel beach you are harassed by beggars. But don't worry, they have employed armed guards to patrol around the hotel beach area. I had dogs come up to me looking for food, God knows if they had rabies. No air conditioning anywhere meant 24 hour heat waves. Then when I finally enquired about all of this I find that the hotel is scheduled to close down in 2 years. Well now all these problems make sense.

Sorry if I have discouraged you from visiting this 'hotel' but in all honesty it is a complete waste of time and money.

A lovely place on a wonderful quiet and clean beach

Stay was pleasant.

Unique Quality: Breakfast was great with both indian and continental menu options. It's a family hotel, with 1 indoor and 2 outdoor pools (incl. a mini pool) with private beach. It's got a very Spanish, Mediterranean feel to it, with spacious rooms with a balcony with view of the ocean. They even had a mini casino and drinks were reasonably priced. The seafood restaurant by the beach was great.

This place was a great find. After arriving in mumbai week before monsoon on business, we wanted an easy no hassle place to come to for 3 days. Flying down was no fuss, and we took a local taxi to this hotel which is on the south coast, around 25mins from the airport (convenient for our early departure last sunday) we booked it through a delhi based agent. The resort is set in a spectacular location, on the beach with great gardens. The rooms are OK - we booked a triple, which was too small to fit people in the room, so only do a twin share, or book 2 rooms. We got a great deal as it was wet season. The service. What can I say? You're in India right? So dont expect too much. This place was genuinely lousy. Food was OK, some (food) service effort was really good, but front office was truly crap & disorganised. Also good was the proximity to other places (5mins to martins corner restaurant), and infinitely better than Baga.

Unique Quality: great setting, nice beach - stunning garden setting. Quiet.
