Sao Domingos

We have been staying in and around Cavelossim for over 30 years (bar the Covid Years). We have stayed here before and have known the family and most of their staff for a long time. We have been absent from Goa since Covid and returned this year in the hopes that it was still as good as it had been, it isn't... it's even better!!. What really makes Sao Domingos is the "feel". It's very much like being part of it, being at home with it. Everyone from Edwin the owner, down to the lads who look after the rooms are just excellent, friendly easy to talk to and certainly give the impression that they are because they want to. The rooms may be bit basic, but very comfortable, but that's a reflection of the cost, it's what you should expect, and if you don't agree go across the road to one of the more expensive hotels at five times the cost, where you will find colourful Indian weddings every week whic may exclude you from the hotel facilities. The rooms are cleaned, towels replaced etc every day, and if you have any small issues just ask, 99 times out of a hundred it will soon be resolved. It's a bit of a venue for expats and mostly of a slightly senior nature, and though we usually avoid expat communities when away it has to be said that it just works her. The majority are returnees and though it has been five years since last we came, there were lots of clients and staff who we immediately recognised. There's live music which though a little noisy sometimes ceases around 11pm. I would like to mention and thank so many people working here individually by name but this review is already too long so I won't . I will mention Hazel on reception who has such great organisational skills, thank you. The accompanying restaurant, Goan Village is also excellent but perhaps a separate review is needed for that. This year was an excellent 3 weeks, wish we had booked for four, but now we have for next year. Thanks

This was an again an amazing holiday at Edwin’s they are like a big family. All the staff and management make you feel special. We have already booked for next year. The breakfast and the restaurant food are the best service in Cavelossim and the people in the whole village are amazing.

We were recommended the resort as others lied about the distance from the beach, this was perfectly placed within many bars, restaurants and many shops including pharmacy and supermarket. Staff were absolutely lovely from the moment we arrived and the breakfast which was just across the road were also very welcoming and super friendly. Our room was large with loads of stuff range but the curtains didn’t fit the window openings so wore eye masks to help sleep. Highly recommended from us as a cheaper hotel destination. Beach less than 10mins walk with lovely beach and various beach shacks

Отличный, уютный отель. без лишнего пафоса, но достойный. заметно что за отелем и номерами следят, ремонтируют, подкрашивают, подмазывают. Бассейн хорош, ухожен. Уборка в номере каждый день, кондиционер и вентилятор работают исправно. чайник, холодильник имеются. Видеонаблюдение везде, сейф можно арендовать на ресепшн. Завтраки простые но вкусные:омлет, тосты, джем, кофе, чай, сок. Рядом кафе на любой вкус, магазины, рынок одежды и фруктов. До пляжа минут 10 пешком..Минусы есть конечно, но незначительны. Хотя кому как.

They did not give water even each day, we had to go and ask for everything. Wifi was not working, but they mentioned it in amenities. Tv was not working with cables, for that as well we had to call multiple times the service guys and they fixed but again it was same. Even in bathrooms they gave soaps that too very small soap and for 2 nights of stay. Every day we had to ask the service guy to for even little things. The location is fine though, the beach is at walkable distance and it was a peaceful beach.

Well the food was good room was neat and clean. As far as safety there was no comunication facility so in case of emergency u can't do anything.
