The Leela Goa

My & my family spent 4 amazing days at Leela Goa. We were picked up on time from Dabolim airport (~1 hour away) and welcomed with a refreshing coconut water treat. Their location is beautiful - bang on the secluded, serene and almost private Mobor / Betul beach and close to the place where the Sal river meets the sea. The river side of the hotel is busier with all the fishing boats and water sports. The entire resort is spread across many acres with a golf course and a natural lagoon running through it. They have landscaped the whole area around this lagoon with beautiful pink & white water lilies, lots of local and herbal trees, some spice plants, many fountains, lots of Indian stone art and, of course, the room villas & facilities. Our room was spacious enough for 4 and overlooked the lagoon through a full height window - we could see ducks (and a few tiny ducklings) and other birds swimming & flying through the lagoon. The room was clean, tidy, well-maintained and comfortable. The bathroom was quite big with a big tub and a separate shower area. Our beds were clean, cozy and comfortable - all of us had good sleep on all the nights. We felt that the TV signal in the room could have been better since none of the HD channels have the image quality we expected. The food in all their restaurants was consistently very good - special mention for their large breakfast buffet (kudos for one of the best Eggs Benedict I've had), Tom Yum soup in The Restaurant, the lamb rack in Riverside and yummy Indian food in Jamwar. Their drinks, especially the cocktails - in the Yali lounge as well as the pool bar - were the highlight of our stay; many thanks to Mr Nityanand and his team for making our evenings special. The facilities are very good. Kids enjoyed their time in the Just Kids area - they had fun playing the games, XBox and doing a few activities. We had a lot of fun in the swimming pool with its cave and waterfall, although ... we would ask the management to enforce swimming pool etiquette more stringently because some people were entering the pool without showering and that too in day clothes (saying that its nylon :-D. The service throughout our stay - right from pickup at airport to check-in to room cleaning to the many restaurants & bars to the beach & facilities and airport drop - was top-notch. They made everything hassle-free for us. Overall, an amazing experience.

Leela has built a beautiful place. Customer service is also very good. The chef took care of my gluten free diet in the buffet. Fisherman wharf is walking so another good option right next door! Leela, being Leela is steep. But then everyone is prepared for it. So be it!

We stayed at the Leela Goa after 15 years and the property seems just as pristine. Spread over 75 acres its really large resort but exquisitely well maintained. The beach is pristine and right outside the resort and is a true beach for those looking for long stretches of beach to walk on. Every possible thing you would like at a resort is available and the best part of the resort is the standard of food. We would have had the same buffet for 3 whole days and in each meal we tried different courses and cuisines. The spread is so wide that it takes you 3 days to cover everything. Last but not least the service is outstanding as the staff is extremely friendly and willing to cater to most of your wishes. Thank you Leela Goa for a wonderful stay
