Dwarka Beach Resort Goa

Location and interiors of the cottage

Nothing. It was awesome

Sehr gute Lage, freundliches Personal und sauberes Zimmer. Vom der Unterkunft organisierter Transfer von und zum Flughafen passte Perfekt.

The room has a nice sea view

The location is very inconvenient: the road from the main highway is in terrible condition, and reaching the hotel means going steeply downhill (and later back uphill), which is exhausting with luggage. There is actually a gate at the top that leads directly into the hotel grounds, but no one mentioned it. A simple photo before check-in and a small bell for staff to open the gate and help with bags would have made a huge difference - instead, we had to drag our things across rocks. Breakfast and food were disappointing, and in the room we found only two small pieces of soap. When we asked for shower gel or liquid soap, we were told there wasn’t any. For a hotel charging 190 USD per night, it’s unacceptable not to provide even basic toiletries. Combined with the overpriced bar menu, the whole place feels overvalued and is hard to recommend for a longer stay.

The views from the room

I had a very disappointing experience during my stay. Firstly, we visited for our babymoon, and I ordered buttermilk — shockingly, I found a jerry (insect) in it. I felt something moving in my mouth and immediately spat it out. This clearly shows the lack of hygiene and care in food preparation. I can’t even imagine what could have happened if I had swallowed it. 😔 Secondly, the bed carpet had a strong toilet-like odor, which made it extremely uncomfortable to sleep throughout the night. Overall, I’m quite unhappy with the experience. For the amount we paid, I expected much better standards of cleanliness and service. I truly hope the management takes this feedback seriously and improves in these areas.

We both had a fantastic stay at Dwarka. The beach huts you stay in are beautiful, with your own balcony to enjoy the views of the sea. The food was out of this world! It was absolutely delicious, two options to choose from - meat or veggie - so everyone is catered for. Cannot recommend the food enough here. The staff were welcoming and friendly, always happy to help where they could. The location is very secluded - please be aware that there are a lot of steps to reach the hotel and back up again so just be aware if you struggle with accessibility. You can easily rent a scooter to enable you to visit other places if you want (we did this, safe parking for your scooter on the hill above the hotel), or if you want pure relaxation you don't have to go anywhere! The beach is clean and safe - you can't enter the sea directly opposite the hotel due to the rocks BUT a very short walk to the opposite end of the beach you can find a quiet part of the beach where you can safely enter the sea. We used the hotels own kayak to explore the lagoon directly next door to the hotel - it's only a short kayak but early in the morning before it gets busy it's worth doing. There are stray dogs who wonder the beach but I cannot stress enough how they leave you alone - they don't scrounge and they are not aggressive. They're genuinely nothing to worry about and to be honest are a regular sight throughout india! We had a wonderful week here, and we couldn't recommend Dwarka enough!

THE SETTING. The setting are dreamlike. When in your room or in the restaurant/bar area you feel like you just don't want to move! So relaxing to simply soak up the surroundings. Very relaxing.

Great room and bathroom Cleaners did a great job

For a relatively expensive stay this place simply didn’t deliver - full board was compulsory and the food was nowhere near acceptable - one night half the main dishes were actually served cold at which point we complained ( first time in 45 years of travelling I’ve ever felt the need to do that ) - the following night things improved If you are going to charge a premium rate then deliver a premium service - the current offering is very far from that They would be better offering bed and breakfast and focus on their strengths ie the rooms are nice and the cleaners do a great job As it is we left feeling very disappointed with the experience I used the laundry service and my white clothes came back covered in yellow stains - again spoke with the staff with zero result Same principle - if you are going to offer a service make sure you can actually provide it to a reasonable level or don’t offer it

Amazing resort. Lovely comfortable rooms with views straight out to the beach. Wonderful peaceful atmosphere with sounds of the waves at night. Lovely secluded beach for swimming just a few minutes walk up the beach.

Very friendly

Gorgeous location, peaceful and quiet, surrounded by nature. Cute cabins with amazing view

Could be seen as isolating as it’s difficult to drive to the main road, but was a nice place to relax away from hustle and bustle and have everything you need here for a quiet stay.

Beautiful resort with its own style huts in the hill.. amazing food en very nice staff!

Location is idilic, staff is willing to help and the manager was attentive. You can get a kayak for free at the hotel (better at early morning) and check the river beside. Food was amazing, not spicy (Finally!) and the fruit was delightful, try it in the morning and in their juices! Have a swim at the very end of the beach and you will have an entire area of the beach all for yourself. The rooms are as in the pictures, the beds extra comfy and the sunsets surreal!

Lovely views and a beautiful beach. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Difficult to get there. 1.5km of rough dirt road. Lots of stairs as well. Be prepared to exercise.

Everything

Location Food Room Vibe

Break fast timing is 9 am. Should be a joke

Dwarka is really beautiful. Really well thought out, amazing food and the views were just amazing. The rooms really make the most of these views, so much so that you can even shower whilst looking out to the sea. They catered so well for our different dietary needs and were always so helpful wanting to ensure that we were enjoying our time at the resort. Thank you so much for such an enjoyable stay, next time we will be sure to stay for longer!

The location and the room decor.!

Nothing.!

Paradise - on a beautiful beach location. Idyllic setting

Not much.

It was a nightmare, the management, staff and the noise pollution

Excellent location and view, room was clean. Overall very good experience. Staff were nice and accommodating.

Everything!! This place is paradise. The food, the view, the staff. It’s one of my favourite stays

Nothing!

Kayaking people

Amazing location, perfect place to unwind

The property itself is great but during the day the area does get busy with day visitors coming for the kayaking which is right next to the resort

Stunning location and calm vibes

The most we liked was a very high individuality of this small resort and area. Their staff was exceptionally friendly and every time they made sure that they had some fresh food for us which was not spicy, especially for my wife :) Friend of mine recommended this small resort to me and we went to check it out. We loved it from the very first moment. It was a bit of a challenge to get there through local road as it is located remotely, but I have to say, it was a fun experience. Staff was organizing our taxi every time we needed it for as long as we needed. We were amazed by the location where the resort is. It's just like a little paradise :) Palms are everywhere, and coconuts are falling down sometimes :) It is a perfect combination of hot sea and fresh colder water stream from a blue lagoon. We loved to cool down in it when we got overheated. Here is a public kayaking that makes it entertaining during the day :) It was fun :) Mainly, locals are visiting and a very few tourists. The beach right next to the resort has a natural rocky bottom, so it's dangerous to swim there, but we went a bit further up, and it was just perfect. I have to say that overall experience was 10 out of 10 We had an absolute experience of local Indian life there. Thank you so much to manager Purna with all his careful staff . We just loved over New Year's week there. Thank you all :)

Around public lagoon during the day some litter going on, but locals are doing great job tiding up every day. I would say, it would be great from the government to put just a 2 or 3 garbage bins so it doesn't happen

Balcony with good views. Peace and quiet, sleeping with the sound of waves was amazing. Comfy beds and fresh food served everyday. The staffs were amazing and very welcoming.

The drive to the venue wasn’t easy as it’s off-road. No phone service meant having to rely on hotel WiFi which can be a bit tricky at times.

Although a few steps to climb to the beach this by no means detracts from the resort. It’s stunning location exceptional staff Purna Ranie and Pranay front of house , incredible food made our holiday complete. Highly recommend this place. Nothing was too much trouble to accommodate us and make our time their most memorable.

Nothing to dislike. Even the elevation made the views more stunning Not ideal for anyone with walking issues

Beautiful people, beautiful food & beautiful views. A must stay if you’re in the Goa area. Would highly recommend & would love to return!

No remarks, everything was perfect!

Amazing rooms with great view on the beach and the ocean. The staff is super helpful and friendly. The food was delicious. Kayak rent is included. Good place to relax and unwind with beach walks, sunbathing etc.

The beach in front of the resort can get quite crowded and loud due to a public kayak renting place and day tourists

Resort was beautiful, room very comfortable, people very helpful and pleasant, food was delicious. Airport pick up with the driver from the Resort was a good idea - the access road is demanding.

The customer service and the food was excellent!

The location was truly nice with a sea view from the room as well as the dining area. Staff was super friendly and always courteous. The room was spacious and comfortable with a nice balcony and clean bathroom. There is no air conditioning, but there are ceiling fans and they do provide a cooler, which was sufficient in November.

The approach road to the resort (not tarred) and the climb down (stairs) was exhausting. The staff was super helpful in getting the luggage down, but if you had any issue (a sprain in the ankle, a bad back), this climb could be challenging. The beach area immediately around the restaurant/dining area is not private and could get crowded and noisy because of the kayaking activities open to public. This may not be within the control of the resort, but it does affect guests’ experience.

the location

the noise of the ocean with strong waves make it difficult to sleep

Absolutely amazing, on the 3rd day we were already talking about coming back, you will not be disappointed, every aspect of the holiday exceeded our expectations, the pictures don't do it justice, this was by far the best resort around also, the rooms are stunning an the food was amazing. It really was all the lovely staff that topped it off, such a great team an they can't do enough for you, very genuine.

The view & setting = amazing. The staff were absolutely fantastic! so accommodating & friendly.

Probably not as exclusive as we thought for the money. The beds were very uncomfortable

beautiful rooms, stunning location. staff were really fantastic

In my view, considering there are relatively few guests, would be better to offer a La Carte food instead of buffet - would really top off the experience

stunning view from the room, tasty meals and very helpful and friendly staff

The room does get warm during the day

Amazing staff. AmaIng rooms. Amazing views and the food was incredible. Definitely will visit again for a longer period.

Incredible location, beautiful beach . Amazing food and super staff. Highly recommend. Lists of steps so not great if you struggle walking.

Outstanding location, very friendly and caring staff. Food is very delicious with a great variety. Prices for drinks are reasonable. Kayaking provided by the accommodation for free. Rooms are clean, very spacious with breathtaking views, bed was super comfy, WIFI working well. Scooter rental available upon request.

Fridge in the room would be nice as well as room service (every two days would be sufficient), especially when you're staying for more than two nights to get fresh towels, the bin emptied and the sand removed from the room.

Everything means everything..must visit..good for couples who are searching for the peaceful romantic stay. Value for money..you will definitely going to miss this place once your vacation is over 🥺and coming back to home..so do visit and collect memories as much as you can👍

Nothing to complain..😇
