"Overall an excellent stay at the Dona Sylvia resort, nestled in lush gardens with good facilities. Location is excellent with direct access to the beach, and a wide variety of restaurants and beach shacks in the vicinity. The staff delivers attentive service and they were very helpful with additional activities such as arranging a cooking class! The pool and the gardens are very well maintained. The breakfast buffet was good, but there were limited choices for western palates, so having an omlette every morning for a week can get a bit boring. The air conditioning in the room was quite noisy - could do with some maintenance. We also had a problem with the TV which kept switching off, and the WiFi which was excellent in the garden and all other areas but was hardly working inside the room. We escalated these issues to the reception and the staff tried to resolve the issues but unfortunately to no avail. The room was cleaned daily and the towels were changed as well - despite having them hung up as requested if we did not want them to be changed. We would recommend the Dona Sylvia for a relaxing stay in Goa. "

"The resort was so well maintained, safe and beautiful. The staff were very patient, helpful and polite, and did look after us, especially our 8 month old daughter Leela , very well. Airport shuttle was easy to find, and very comfortable. Bar was excellent. Miri and its staff were brilliant, especially Abhishek, Gaurav, Sumit, Yash, Chef Asif, Rebek, Akhum, Miriam. thank you to Shahbaz and Gajanan, and special mention to the room attendants, Sunil and the team. Thank you."

"Very good service by all staff and restaurant services."

"This was our fifth stay here — and we loved every bit of it! Even though the staff has completely changed since our last visit, the warmth, attentiveness, and professionalism remain top-notch. The rooms are spotless, the housekeeping is excellent, and the buggy service to the beach makes everything effortless. The food is absolutely delicious — they even tailor it to your preferences, which is a lovely touch. Cabs are easy to arrange, the surroundings are peaceful, and the entire stay feels seamless from start to finish. We keep coming back for a reason — this place never disappoints! 🌺"
