The staff at the reception were all rude, unprofessional at best. The room, the pool and basically the entire hotel is dirty. There's a big hole in the ceiling.Stain cover the entire sofa. HOT WATER WORKED JUST A FEW MINUTES.Most of the breakfast items are stale and/or not clean. In-room dinner was terrible, though the portion is big. The ketchup they […] gave me was USED it was just just garbage. so without looking, they gave me FOUR empty, tear packages of ketchup!! The staff came back to my room at almost 10 pm. even after we asked him to leave because we were in bed, he refused to leave, kept banging and tried to open the lock. He demanded that we pay,immediately, in cash WITHOUT giving us a receipt. It felt almost like I was being threatened by some thug. Instead of appreciating a suggestion, the staff refused to listen to the story, acted like we were a nuisance and were just very impolite. To make things worse, the hotel is literally surrounded by dump! Big, smelly piles of garbage surround the hotel from the street, the entrance, less than 50 feet away from the breakfast area and the way to the beach. It's not on the main street and in order to get there you have to walk past garbage piles on dirt road. The sign/name of the hotel is written on like a cardboard box with blue ink that's almost impossible to notice on the first glance. WAY OVERPRICED. BAD SERVICE. DIRTY AREA. You can find a better place for MUCH cheaper. Do yourself a favor and skip this hotel. Read more

Not clean in the breakfast tent flies allover flying, not comfortable no good service.

Very mixed emotions about this place. It is on the beach and that is wonderful. Breakfast each morning overlooking the Arabian Sea is pretty special. But the physical plant of the hotel is old, rooms small and some of the charges petty. Since it was Xmas week the owner was around and we had some sincere discussions of visitor's expectations versus the […] reality of the hotel. It's a real diamond in the rough. I was OK with putting up with some of the disappointments to be so close to the beach. They did throw a very nice New Year's Eve party which in Goa is pretty spectacular. Go if you are into funky....

Hotel managers do not know how to maintain relations with guests. They are always in hurry to go back to their home. Many times there is no manager on the desk and desk and reservations are managed by waiters who do not know how to control system.

The best part about the hotel is that it is on the relaxing baga beach and All the shacks are near by as for safety and seurity reaasons. Keep up the good work .

Only one cottage in this hotel which they call as family cottage or room no 701 if you are able to get is the best and luckily we were able to get it rest all rooms are pretty normal nothing special ,even the rest of the cottages are not very good

It was very good. Food is awesome, we was on CP so we tried many different dishes and all are very well prepared and taste. We enjoyed the stay over there.

I booked rooms in this hotel because I was getting a very good deal. But my trip proved to be nightmare experience which I wan't to forget. I booked 3 deluxe rooms but what I got was 3 standard rooms which they renamed as Deluxe. Noise making AC's, damped walls which were smelling as soon as we entered. Unfortunately I met up with small accident and […] guess what this hotel didn't even have first aid kit. The food was OK and cleaning staff was friendly. Note: if you are still booking and with family make sure you call them in advance and tell them that you need adjacent rooms. The 3 rooms we got were placed at 3 different locations.

One bad experience we had is as follows: We had booked the for Luxury Room but at the time of check in they gave us Executive Room which was not part ofour pacakge. We had to be after them to get our Booked room(Luxury Room),Before they reisisted and trying to convinence us that the room given to us was Luxury Room. But after continuous follow up we […] were offered our Booked Luxury Room. Also the eatables kept in the Room by them are very costly.. Read more

This hotel is very deceiving. We arrived and had booked a Family suite. we were shown and given a double room. When we questioned this, we were insulted, ignored and dismissed. We were then given a room with mould and a leaking ceiling. After 5 hours of back and forth arguments, we were then shifted to Candolim (20 mins away) where we did not want to […] be staying. The staff in all were generally sweet but useless and slow-moving. It's easy to think that if we had a man with us, we would have encountered no such problems and deception. Read more

Estrela Do Mar Beach Resort, a fantastic place for a comfortable stay with close proximity to calungate beach. staff service is pleasing. all in all a homely place to stay. Food is also good, especially Chicken Biryani. swimming pool is properly maintained.

Genuine Expedia guest review

If you're looking for a resort for vacation with family/ friends, please don't go for this hotel. Its a small and congested hotel with dark and dirty rooms. They says that the resort is on Calangute beach, but the resort is in an isolated place between Calangute and Baga beach. The staffs and reception guys are clueless, whatever you ask! Choosing this […] hotel was a big disappointment for me and my family after we arrived in Estrela. Food was just okay and the complimentary breakfast was pathetic. Don't go by the photos they have uploaded in different websites, they're just doing marketing through it. Will not recommend this hotel to anybody. Read more

My experience of staying/choosing Estrela Do mar beach resort was not at at all wise. The hotel pictures on the website are way more pleasing than the hotel actually is. The rooms were shabby and toilets were not maintained properly. The earlier room which was allotted to us was near a room where paint work was going on and it became difficult to breathe, […] 10 out of 14 of us got ill because of the paint work in the next room and had to request the so-called courteous staff to change our room. Not only this but the swimming pool was also not maintained and had hairs and chocolate wrappers all around. My earlier experience of Neelam the Grand was way more better than this place. NOT EVEN AN AVERAGE PLACE TO STAY. Read more

Since it was rainy season, I booked the executive room coz the site showed the room having a balcony / spatio. But I was given a room with no balcony and even the window was covered with polythene. It was like a jail during the rains. The complimentary breakfast was just that bad. The meal which you paid for was good. Clearly the hotel is in for pure […] earnings not for building relations.

Was a blunder in selecting to stay in Estrela Do Mar. Will never visit again. will ask friends and relatives to stay away from staying in this resort. The quality of service in this hotel is disastrous. Jst for an example. for a jug of water one has to wait for 4 HOURS. jst imagine. During my stay out of every 10 tourists i saw the management had fight […] with 9 of them. No one was satisfied with the Resort. Read more

Estrela Do Mar is a great hotel to stay. If got another chance to visit GOA will definitely choose Estrela Do Mar again as my residency hotel. The only thing that bothered me there was too many house flies. The hotel management should have used 'mosquito traps' to reduce the house flies population. Otherwise else the location & hotel was great,

Reception was always overcrowded with check in guests. Check out timings not followed by management & the staff at reception also deficiant to handle inflow of guests.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We had to wait at the reception for two hours to get the room ready. Check in time is 1400 hrs. we reached at around 1145 AM. This check in time is not at all tourist friendly. Most of the guests in general arrive either in the morning before 10 AM or after 5 PM. The reception waiting area was very hot, though the AC looked running. We had to keep on […] asking about the status of the room and the receptionist didnt have a clue on it. We got a cottage (Beach Villa as they call).. it was neat. But lot of noise from outside, can clearly hear talks from adjacent cottages.. Phone was not working, Beach is just 10 seconds walk.. with less crowd. 5 minutes walk to Calangute beach via beach. Breakfast is ok but timing is bad as people tend to wake up late after late night sleep. Should extend till 10:30 AM. Check out time is 11 AM..STRICT... another way to send out guest in the morning.. Staying again is doubtful.. Untill furure reviews are good. Wont recommend to frineds or families! Read more

Downsides: Pathetic AC, Room was secluded on 2nd floor with no other rooms on that floor, Least helpful reception staff, tiny washroom. Upsides: proximity to beach, good and tasty food, newly built, location in calangute and Baga.

Overall hotel service and amenities were good, even in hot season it is having nice cool environment in hotel.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Instead of trying hard to be helpful or at least appear so, these guys just argued back and forth with guests even in front of new guests checking in. Available wireless is only limited at the reception with INR100 charge.. The location is right.., right on the beach.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel room was comfortable though it lacked a table or something where you could put your belongings. Since it was right at the beach, it was a perfect spot to be from where you could enjoy the sun and the sea at the same time.
