My stay at the Novotel Resort and Spa in Goa was nothing short of fantastic. The staff went above and beyond, making every moment special, especially with personalized touches like a cake for our daughter's achievements. While the ambience and cleanliness were impressive, I did find the room view less appealing despite the hotel's low occupancy. Overall, this is a perfect spot for families looking to relax and enjoy exceptional service.

I had a fantastic time at the hotel, notably the amazing service and delicious food offered. The staff were exceptionally welcoming and attentive, making my stay very pleasant. The location was convenient with plenty of amenities nearby, but it would have been perfect if the area had a direct beach access. The facilities like the huge swimming pool added a lot of value to my experience, although I felt it could be a bit more family-friendly. Overall, it was a great stay and I would certainly return.

My stay at the hotel was truly memorable, thanks largely to the amazing staff who went above and beyond to make my birthday special. The property itself is neat and well-maintained, and I appreciated the extensive breakfast spread, even though the taste and management were somewhat lacking. While the location is decent, it's a bit off the main attractions, and the dining experience could use some improvement. Overall, it was good value for the price with some minor hiccups.
