The Leela Goa

Amazing service Joel was very helpful throughout our stay

Visited for my Dads birthday exceptional resort and staff

The best hotel resort in South Goa 🤩 I visited St Regis Goa with my 14 year old son and we were impressed and fell in love with everything. We booked a car service for the airport, which was hassle free. Arrival was relaxed with a gong ceremony and seat, drink and then buggy ride to room. We were allocated Kuldeep as our butler for the duration, who was there for us throughout our stay and if I needed anything, I contacted him directly, which made things so easy. He went above and beyond to make our stay exquisite! We had the standard twin room, which was stunning with a view over the lagoon from our balcony. The bathroom has an incredibly deep tub, large shower enclosure, toilet and large vanity sink with toothbrush and paste, combs, face soap, body soap, cotton pads and buds, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, loofer and usefully scales. Bedroom had two large single beds, triple wardrobe, large flat screen tv, tea and coffee making facilities, kettle, coffee machine, safe and plenty of storage. We booked a Live Cookery lesson with the hotel and Chef Santoosh spent a couple of hours cooking up our favourites, whilst we helped cook and then ate the results-highly recommended 🤩 We loved the pool, which has towels, complimentary water and ice tea and helpfully a selection of spf. Also have a push button service for waiters from your sun lounger 🤩 The spa is amazing and I had three treatments with Nadia (I think) which were all respectively carried out and sublime 🤩 The beach is stunning with waiter service, comfy subbed and buggy service there and back. There is a lifeguard on duty all day and water is safe to swim early on. We booked b&b and the breakfasts were amazing with a selection of Indian, Asian and European food and beverages-really would be hard pushed not to find something to eat in there and we tried different foods each day. We spent 6 nights at St Regis Goa and then moved o to St Regis Mumbai for 2 nights before flying home and Shubham, Head Butler at Goa put us in touch with the butlers at Mumbai to help us make bookings prior to our arrival 🤩 We can’t recommend this place enough and I’m happy to answer any questions you may have if you’re unsure about anything-I did a lot of research prior to booking and it was worth it! You won’t be disappointed ❤️

Lovely rooms and grounds with a tranquil atmosphere. Staff are really friendly and helpful (shout out to Kuldeep our butler) and service is excellent. You do however need to overlook the construction work on the Great Lawn (which has been going on for at least 3 years as happening when we last stayed). Plus, whilst the website showcases the Riverside asian restaurant, it actually isnt open yet and the italian doesnt have a working wood fired pizza oven as advertised. So eat at Susegado which is excellent or at the Fisherman's Wharf next door - your butler will book you a table there.

When you have personnel’s like Mr Arun Vishnu and Mr Dibyajyoti heading a property, you can be rest assured of its quality and service. The property is massive, close to 50+ acres of lush green blissfulness along with plenty of water bodies within it. The food was top quality with a large spread. Some key people who made the stay great 1. Mr Arun Vishnu - his attention to the stay truly elevated my experience 2. Mr Dibyajyoti - the quiet executioner who got everything done with such finesse 3. Sourabh - one of the most sport spoken prompt and attentive butlers 4. Mr Prakash - The pastry chef who baked the best indulgent white chocolate cake for me 5. Aseem - Took care of us at the sauna/steam area 6. Ramen - our server for breakfast who was friendly and prompt for all our requests 7. Vanshita - made the breakfast special with a sweet gesture Only challenge that needs to be tackled is: Better training of staff who have high guest/customer interaction. There seems to be some disconnect in the ethos of St Regis to the behavior of some stuff. If that is taken care of, this property can easily compete as one of the best across the country.
