Devasthali- The Valley of Gods

It was family gathering and this place has all the facilities you need as family. Great rooms. Small pool for kids. Cooking facilities. Overall a great outskirts to enjoy. Very near to bogmolo beach and fine surrounding.

Lets start with beginning, we as a family was looking for a place , to stay together for 2 nights, after searching and reading the reviews of the hotels , we zeroed a hotel near airport (as the rest of the family had flight to catch at odd hours) called Devasthali - the valley of god. Location - its a aloof place (which is actually good for family) , just 3.5Km from airport ,nice location next to the so called creek ( but now it is very bad creek or river) ...overall its okay Building - the hotel is very small , strategically build up , don't expect much around your room or hotel Rooms - we have opted for Family Room , which is very nice and spacious but maintenance is not proper like doors of bathroom , walls of bathroom etc ( their maintenance team is quite good), curtain on the glass windows, sofas are not very prompt, its just okay ( you have to compromise with it) Swimming-pool - they have one for the name sake, very small not for 4 star category hotel , what they claim Hotel Staff - reception people are good , prompt (not many staff, enough as the hotel is small), their house keeping staff was very good , they are trying their best to keep the room clean, but wear & tear , they cant help ( Hotel management should) its looks like , the property was ( i said was) nice but now after few years they are struggling with the property. Restaurant - THE BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT - we have read in the hotel reviews lot about the service and taste of the food in their restaurant but it was nothing, i mean nothing like that , the restaurant itself is very small , we ordered good amount of food, it came very late ( i still have doubt that they purchased required items after we ordered) , it took longer than the time required, but that is still fine, the Service staff did not had any experience of serving , we ordered for Prawns dish ( quite expensive item Rs 1099 +tax) for a plate, but when they bought it , it was stale freeze prawns , taste was awful and we regret our order and decision to have our lunch in MJ's ( the name of the restaurant) , the serving staff attitude was not good at all but one positive was next day morning the breakfast ( we ordered it in Room after long discussion ) as we had kids & Sr Citizens with us, but we did not regret our decision, The Breakfast served was good ...... Overall, the hotel is okay, average , small layout , don't expect 4 star facilities with this property ,one more issue - we had our own vehicle so we were good otherwise you have only Taxi option which is next to the hotel ( we did not needed them but looking at the location i feel they will charge premium as there are no other option, you are completely depend on them), the nearest good beach is Bogmallo (2.5km). DON"T EXPECT MUCH FROM THIS HOTEL , AVOID the restaurant for lunch or Dinner we had a bad experience. I won't recommend this to my friends & family

I wanted a hotel near the airport and booked this hotel. But the room was a disappointment with a moldy smell and when I looked at the bathroom door it was covered with mold. The room gave a very worn impression...even the sheets. To get rid of the smell we had to turn on the ceiling fan but it had only one speed: jet! Positive was the staff that was friendly and especially in the restaurant.

Wonder full place to stay, great location... ....very near to the airport. Rooms are spacious ... staff is very helpful.. ... A must stay when in south Goa .. for family or business.. No complains at all.

We stayed there for 2 nights. What an experience it was ! They are great im all departments - Service, Hospitality, Food, Cleanliness, etc. The surroundings are serene and the fresh water pond running along the rear boundary of the property just adds to the aura. I am surely going to stay there again.
