Colonia Santa Maria (CSM)

great hotel, best location! close to beach and to local markets. staff very nice and helpful. good food, rooms spacious and clean. nice cozy pool, little small but was great, althogh they are building another pool. nice gardens. rent scooter for good prize. it was absolutely worth the price! dont even think twice on booking here. works for family, couple, friends, honeymoon.

This is a beautiful resort with superb layout of the colonial style villas, easy access to the beach and market, lots of restaurants, cafes and pubs nearby, and great rooms. Only hiccup, their reception staff is too stone faced as if they are just not happy to see us there! This even though 90% of the tourists here are foreigners who expect friendly staff. I did not use their room service so cannot comment on that. Otherwise, this is a great resort, very clean, nice swimming pool, the food is good, without a lot of options though, and the buffet breakfast (included with their room fares) is quite wholesome and filling. Overall 4 Stars.

I booked and payed a deluxe suite and got a standard room first night. The blanket's was very old and dirty. No excuse from reception staff. First of all why do the call all their rooms suites???? Since the rooms are very much not suites!!!!!!The breakfast had nothing to offer except Omelettes and dinner area was boring so the restaurant was always empty. Tried it once but did not enjoy. Stuff was not service minded at all. Last day I asked to have my luggage in a luggage room, because my flight was in evening. There was no luggage room on this hotel....The only good thing was that the hotel is very close to beach. Thats all

Very nice, clean place. Lovely white-walled villas with a lot of character and nice lawns surrounding it. Try and get Villa Blocks 14 or 15. They are bang overlooking the beach. The biggest plus is its location - It's on Baga Beach, walk down from your villa onto the beach. And very near all other local hot-spots. Cabana, Mambos, Britto's all between 5-20 min scooter ride. And u can hire the scooties right at the gate of CSM. Service, food etc are all average, wasn't inside the villas long enough to find out. TV's in the room are 14" but I couldn't care, never switched it on. Bathrooms are real tight but clean. Bedrooms are neat but strictly utilitarian with cast iron beds. But then its Goa and I don't expect you to worry about anything else but the beach & the beer. Hotel has a small pool, good for kids but not serious swimming. Restaurants etc are not terribly happening, you can walk out to Pescados right opposite or any number of places on either side of the hotel. No shortage of eating places. Calangute is a short 15 min walk along a quaint street lined with street side shopping stuff. In sum, a quaint, convenient and clean place to stay. Definitely recommended.

The rooms were decently well maintained having all the facilities. Staffs were very quick and prompt in their work. I had my meal in the restaurant it was lovely in taste. The beach was very nearby to the hotel. I would recommend this hotel to my friends and collegues.

The stay at this hotel was fabulous. Service was quick and prompt. Room was large and well maintained. Staff was very co-operative and friendly. Dining options were awesome. I will highly recommend to everyone.

It's actually really nice. The bathrooms was ok. The place is really clean. Breakfast at restaurant was complementary. Overall, we had a really good experience in this hotel.

Recently returned from our annual trip to Goa (18) to be precise! Having stayed at many hotels in baga,calangute over the years we decided to stay at the much talked about CSM with my family, this is our second time at the CSM and we would not stay elsewhere,for a family of 3 the rooms are clean,spacious and in a great location,all the staff are friendly and go out of there way to ensure your stay is relaxing and entertaining! People say the CSM is expensive but trust me after 18years experience you get what you pay for......

great experience...rooms are clean...staff is very cooperative ....best part walking distance to beech as hotel boundary touches beech....Swimming pool is another plus point.....overall recommended if you want a peaceful place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CSM is in a great location leading onto the beach via a few beach shacks, with plenty to choose from. The service was excellent, we spent many days by the pool as it was peaceful and were served by Martin and Neville mostly, who were both very attentive and appreciated this very much, thank you both! Always a smile from all staff, nothing too much trouble. Room a good size, plenty of space, nice very large comfortable bed. We loved it here, some decent restaurants just by the hotel, our favourite was Fire n Ice, the curries and steak absolutely fantastic! We would return to CSM, however Baga just a bit too busy for us and overwhelming, it is a party town!

Excellent hospitality,stratgeic Location for beach lovers,excellent breakfast..Complete worth and happy stay...I would happily recommend this awesome place for people for people searching for good accommodation and hospitality in Goa..

The hotel is centrally located but the guest services are pathetic. Noone answers the calls. No response to guests requests . The beach is walking distance and that's the only good thing about this property.
