Lotus Sutra

Overall disappointed with the price charged vs the service and amenities provided. I payed almost 17.5k for 3 night's at sea facing cottage. Pros: 1)Location and view Cons: 1)No FRIDGE, ( in goa's temperature it is a must) 2) Washroom's door doesn't fit 3)You get a room temperature drinking water bottles everyday 4)No paste, brush and the there is no mention of shampoo and body wash bottle so it's just a trial and use method 5)Food we ordered from the restaurant was stale and uncooked so we complained the restaurant who replaced our orded. So never ordered a meal again from this restaurant. Overall feedback: For the price they charged we were disappointed with the amenities and services, my genuine suggestion will be to stay at other places nearby as there are lot of other options nearby

I stayed at the Lotus Sutra Resort for 4 nights, as a solo traveler. The location is the clincher and a great choice because it is one of the few actual resorts (and not a hostel/shack) on the gorgeous Arambol beach. The resort had a lot of other couples and families staying, which made it quite safe and comfortable. It is a bit expensive considering it is a 3 star hotel. The room is small, however, the bed was comfortable and the tv and ac worked well, as did the hot water. Cleaning could have been better, and there are very basic toiletries only. The cafe, while in the resort premises, is run separately. I found it to have limited options or rather, just the usual options, however I am unable to have seafood and maybe this was a constraint. However, all food I had was hot and okay, nothing brilliant but nothing bad either. Breakfast has very limited options, again okay in terms of freshness and taste. My main criterion was to be able to walk to the beach and to see the sea, and both of those were accomplished. NOTE: Not related to the resort. It is impossible to get around Goa if you do not drive preferably a 2 wheeler (the roads are narrow) or potentially a 4 wheeler - or you are okay to spend a lot of taxis. Goa Miles is not allowed in Arambol and in many parts of Goa, due to the local taxi union. Do not depend on it, there are instances of taxis not being allowed or sometimes being sent back, the local taxi union will make it a bad experience. There are local taxis but they are quite expensive. There is no accessible public transport or a black/yellow rick/taxi option which we have in cities like Bombay, Madras and all. Take this into account while planning, especially if you are a solo traveler. The beach is fantastic, however, it gradually gets desolate post 7 pm (after sunset), and is unsafe and pitch dark by 10 pm (once the shacks turn their lights off). I had to rely on someone's help to get back to the resort, on the one night I stepped out for dinner - and I was back by 10.30 pm. So, the whole all night partying and all is possible only if you have logistics figured out, or if you are in Panjim or somewhere city side. Again, doable but plan for all this, to be safe. Personally, while the beach is always the reason for me to go to Goa, I find it is overrated as a tourist location for Indians (might be really fascinating and excellent for foreigners).

Rooms need a desperate uplift. Food was very average. Staff is helpful and polite. We lived in a "Premium Luxury Pool View" room. Spacious room with a balcony but it needs a uplift for sure. The rooms are average and nothing special, considering the price we're actually paying. I was disappointed with the quality of the room after paying 6k/night. The USP of the property is the location only.

Nice hotel, good staff , food is ok. Location is next to Arambol beach. Room was neat and clean. Swimming pool is too good. I will recommend it for Arambol beach stay.Room services are quick and fast. It's full of greenery. Restaurant view is good,beach facing

Our room was having cockroaches which my son was afraid of. Also the arrogance at the reception is too much and intolerable. Though the staff were helpful they seems to be lacked in training. Altogether not a good stay. Did not like the ambience also

The stars of the hotel - Madhuri and Titus - were extremely friendly, loveable and courteous. You guys did a splendid job in making our stay in Goa worthwhile. Talking about the hotel - yeah good stuff! The cleaning the look and feel and the ambience were amazing. The café/restaurant the hotel had was average. Would never recommend you to book the hotel with breakfast. Not worthwhile. Overall an appending experience. Thank you!
