ROSASTAYS South Goa

The old villa was lovely but sadly up keep was poor.

Rooms said there was fridge, no fridge and told couldn't get one. No shops near to buy chilled water Gates locked so on our evening out called 3 times to ask what time are you coming back !Dirty around edges we only stayed 1 night then left.Less standard than rooms we pay 3,000 for in the same area.

Anil is an excellent host and tried all his best to make our stay super nice

The property needs an uplift, the bedsheet were washed but had stains, shower pressure was terrible, bathroom needs major uplift

Location, Staff .. property manager Iyappa and caretaker Anil went length and breadth to make our stay comfortable. Breakfast was good. Property is very tastefully decorated and maintained well. Entertained a last minute request for lunch…

Wifi signals aren’t great across the property.

Loved the location, the building, our room, the platform high up on the tree, the garden with the night blooming fragrant flowers, the decor, and above all the person attending to all our needs, providing us with a great driver when we were leaving the next day. He is always ready to help us with a smile below his eyes with glasses.

If you are looking for a quiet stay in South Goa, this is a great place to do it. The 230-yr old property provides a great backdrop to your downtime. The staff is very friendly, sometimes going out of their way to accommodate some requests. The chef made some local breakfasts for us and we absolutely loved them, especially the ros omelette which blew our minds - so much so that we asked the chef for the recipe . All in all, it is a wonderful place to unwind.

There was some mold in the bathroom. We also found a couple of dead cockroaches in the bathroom one morning. Based on the location, I suppose it is difficult to keep the local fauna out. Finally, though not a big deal, my wife and I were asked pick the same breakfast rather than try different options. I completely understand that picking the same option makes it easier for the chef, however, it does restrict couples from trying different things at breakfast.

We had a wonderful weekend getaway at Rosastays South Goa. The staff were all very welcoming and helpful especially Anil who looked after everything we needed throughout the stay. We appreciated the chef allowing us to watch him in the kitchen and learn about Goan food. We had breakfast and dinner there everyday as the food was just so good! Room was clean and very comfortable bed. Not too far to go to the beach and lots of bars and restaurants but also in a peaceful area away from the main hotels and tourist spots for when you want to relax.

Lovely and peaceful, we were only here for one night before a wedding and it was the perfect place to stay after our flight. The food was also lovely.

We liked the heritage villa , rooms , garden and pool

We didn’t like the location and lack of garden or pool reclining seating

I liked the Banglow, its cleanliness, staff curtesy and facilities provided.It’s worth the money property. Tranquility is enhancing its beauty all the more.

Love the common rooms and the layout of the property!The vintage setup was spot on with lovely staff and food options

Good staff, humble and polite..catered to all our requests promptly Rooms were spacious and clean. Upholstery and furniture in the room very well placed and arranged. Crockery was classy..Breakfast was very good overall villa was very beautiful in its design and the greenery Pet friendly our Golden Retriever enjoyed walking in the villa freely.

When we enquired about the rooms, we were told that they cannot accommodate more than 3 in a room..whereas with a sofa cum bed in the room 4 persons cud be easily accommodated..if this was considered we could have had more family time together..we would hv been happy to be charged little additional..

Breakfast was delicious, we usually had a marsala omelette and whatever the indian speciality of the morning was. We ate in the garden or at the communal dining table. The staff were very attentive.

A little more prior communication as to what the breakfast menu was for the following day. There is no alcohol licence at the property so you need to bring your own - this was not communicated. The staff are very happy to serve it and chill it once bought though. There are no sunbeds or anywhere to lie around the pool.

lovely clean pool , spacious rooms , friendly helpful staff

hard beds , a little far out , very unkempt gardens , needs maintenance

The property was quiet and nice to look at. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle then this is the place for you.

The property and service needs some polish and professionalism. It wouldn’t take much and could be done quickly. I believe the property is quite new to the holiday business so it could well be teething problems.

- beautiful heritage house surrounded by tropical nature in quiet South Goa- excellent food including specialties of Goa and more. - good service- large stylish room- swimming pool to relax

- mattress a bit too hard

The staff was extremely courteous. And the food was very nice too. The rooms were fine though the aesthetics weren't the best. Expected a little better at this price range.

The property is located right on a busy main road and the traffic noise starts from 6 in the morning. It is extremely annoying and definitely not what I went there for. The property should have mentioned that somewhere on their page, or while booking.Also, the bed linen had some spots and that isn't pleasing at all.

We often dream about holidays to be perfect in a certain way & when you get that - the feeling is Ahhhh. I give you 5 reasons to stay here: Property - quiet, classy, comfortable, tasteful, beautiful - gives you the feeling of your own:) Staff - Polite, Helpful, Sweet, Accomodating. Denzil is a star. He does his job meticuolosly and has a gift of engaging you:) Cook ( I think Ganesh) & the guy who serves food ( can't recollect his name) - They are gems to have. Food - From Goan food to Puri Bhaji to yumm jams - everything is fresh, tasty & so home like. P.S. they take time to make so yes place your order in advance. But good food takes time:) and that's how it should be. Love it guys!!Location - The property is facing complete greenery & coconut, mango trees. It's just picture perfect. Pool is not very big but perfect to make you feel owner of that property:) It's kid friendly. It's close to Cavelossim Beach ( 8 minutes car). But the drive with beautiful Portuguese houses is what you have been waiting for. And the best market of Goa is there. This can be a home for every mood - Secluded, serene / Party, drinks, madness/ Read, Drink, Converse...That's the beauty of it. This is going to be my go to place in Goa. Thanks:) Hospitality - Team Rosakue, all the tiny notes with little surprises you kept in the room - what a brilliant idea to make your host feel special. Trust me, this for me surpasses even Taj's warmth & hospitality. So I want to appreciate your team who has thought of it and is putting all the hard work to run this:) Cheers!

Pool, Room, Location if you like to leave crowd far away.

Accessible to dining area is main issue for physically challenged person.

clean and exceptionally friendly staff, good food too.

maybe a little overpriced but still acceptable

Bara Bungalow is beautiful, and impeccably maintained. Service was outstanding, even being greeted with a serenade and guitarist. We had dinner and breakfast, both delicious. Denzil and all the staff couldn’t do enough for us. Local recommendations were also spot-on.

I wish the lightswitches were labeled, as we had a hard time finding how to turn the ensuite light off. But minor issue. The stay was amazing.
