Colva Vacation Rentals

" We have been staying at this property since its Hyatt days, which makes this February visit even more disappointing. Four families travelled from different cities to celebrate an 80th birthday. Despite sharing all booking details in advance, there were repeated lapses. I received an incorrect airport pickup call meant for another guest, and the response from the front office was a routine, mechanical apology with no ownership. More seriously, although all four rooms were booked under my ID and secured with my credit card, the staff asked my father-in-law and sister-in-law for their cards and charged ₹50,000 to my sister-in-law without authorisation. Even after raising the issue, the amount has not been reversed 12 days later. On checkout, I was again asked about collecting payments from others, forcing me to settle everything myself to avoid further confusion. The property is lovely, but the front office operations are deeply disappointing. A milestone family celebration was overshadowed by preventable errors and poor handling."

"Our stay at Marriot at Colva beach was excellent. Property is spotless and rooms are spacious. Most important, the staff at Marriot is exceptionally polite and helpful. Everyone at Marriot went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. The food at the hotel is very good. The breakfast and dinner buffet has great spread to satisfy any diner. The staff at live station goes a step further to customize the food to any palate. Looking forward to another stay at this location in the future."

"The view from the room was outstanding, with green fields, water buffalo and the sounds of birds. The sea was just a short stroll away and was glorious. The pool was lovely and clean, although there weren't many sun beds and only one umbrella. The staff were incredibly friendly and hard working. "

"The property and surrounding grounds are beautiful. I would not stay there again though. We arrived quite late at night and were disappointed when we arrived at our room as the bed sheets were damp and the room was very underwhelming for a 5 star hotel. By this time it was too late and we were exhausted so spent the night sleeping with damp sheets. We were contacted by the “butler service” which was really just a generic WhatsApp and they take a long time to respond. However once we raised our concerns about this another member of staff took over and was much more helpful. Our biggest frustration was that the property is advertised as having 3 pools but we were told we weren’t allowed to use the adults only pool as it was for the most expensive rooms only. On the first day we were unable to get a lounger at the pool we were allowed to use. The experiences the hotel offers are eye wateringly expensive. There was a mix up which I take some responsibility for where I had booked a dining experience for my wife’s birthday under the impression it was £150 only to find out hours before that it was £1,500 and when I said I didn’t want to continue with it I was told I would have to pay 20% cancellation fee however no cancellation fee was ever mentioned in the booking of the experience. There was also no way the experience could ever be worth £1,500. The staff are very nice but there is a clear agenda to get as much money out of the guests as possible and everything has a price."

"A bit dated and food at the Azul restaurant not great. Nice landscaping and environs. "

"Beautiful resort with outstanding service and great food. "

"Clean, spacious room, friendly and attentive staff. The pool was temperature controlled and newly renovated. We had an excellent time here! The breakfast was excellent and the variety on offer was exceptional."

"Very courteous staff. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was great. The only drawback was the electricity kept going off till the generator kicked in. A very comfortable stay with the family with 2 rooms. Will be back"

"From the moment you enter, the resort makes a strong impression. The property is clean, well maintained, and beautifully presented. Reception and check-in were efficient and welcoming, making arrival smooth and stress-free. Our garden view room was spacious with convenient dual access. It was generally very clean and comfortable, although there was noticeable dust beneath the sofa that appeared to have been missed. The buffet offered an extensive selection across all three meals, and the staff were attentive and helpful. However, the team seemed slightly underprepared at the start of service on several occasions. Plates were missing at some stations, food labels had not been updated, and the “Buffet Closed” sign was still displayed, causing confusion. On our departure morning, when breakfast began at 7:30am and we were checking out at 8:00am, masala chai and milk were not ready at opening time. Small details, but they do affect the experience. The pool staff were excellent — friendly, proactive, and attentive to guests’ needs. Service at the SFX poolside bar was slow; after waiting five minutes without being attended to, I went to Morisco Restaurant opposite to order directly at their bar. Overall, a pleasant stay and a resort we would recommend — though not always flawless in execution."
