Resort Rio: we love you ! Thank you very much for the most amazing stay and hospitality. Beautiful resort, superb facilities and our Rio Suite was simply palatial. We loved the space, the views and the most luxurious marble bathroom with a marble tub we have ever seen. We enjoyed and appreciated the very warm and genuine hospitality from all staff members. Vaman and Sumitra: thank you for the housekeeping. Shubham and Akash, we appreciate your friendly service from F&B. Thank you for the amazing food at Pickled Mango and at Jalsa, the pure veg restaurant. And what can we say about Aagor? Probably the most amazing place to be each night- a typical goan beach shack by the pool with its very own beach ! We loved Aagor so much that we spent most of our time there and you must try the fiery Feni ( nothing like the feni you would have tasted anywhere- they distil their own and its smoother than fine cognac.Thank you Roy and Agnelo for amazing cocktails. Zaara spa therapies were relaxing and we enjoyed the couple massage. What i loved about Zaara spa was the beauty and peace with fine aromas and soothing music as the masseurs gave the most relaxing massage ever followed by a rose petal bath, a relaxing steam and then rainwater shower. Both my wife and I came out of Zaara different people- pure bliss. Thank you Kazi and Mumtaz at Zaara spa. Thank you also to Stephen and his team at the front office for all the care that was taken.Fatty Francis, please keep our usual table reserved !

Enjoyed my stay at hotel! Food is delicious! Wanted to try jalsa but the hotel didnt had enough reservation for jalsa dining so the restaurant was closed. Thats the only thing was not satisfactory because i genuinely wanted to try jalsa because they have won award for 7 years.

Very clean and tidy through out the property , found the drinks very costly

If you're from America do not stay here -This is not a 5 star hotel - It just has really nice decor -Staff is not trained well and many first line staff were interns that struggled to speak English - I have a team of over 300 staff in India and I know the difference and I am very forgiving on this matter. This staff was mostly comprised of those who are not up to par. -Wifi is a joke there. it was slower than dial up from the 90s Management said they would look into it but nothing changed. It was a total joke and probably purposely throttled. -There are two pool bars which got me excited but no one goes to them. Only twice there were two other people than me and my friend. Kinda kills the experience. This was during a time when they were fully booked. -Their food is pretty decent and really good if you like Indian food. Mama Mia is an Italian place with good food - They had several large events hosted by companies who were staying at the time and as a result would close some of their venues. I thought this was unfair to others. -They prohibit you from bringing your own alcohol -They prohibit you from having guests in your room -They accused me of trying to leave without paying even though I prepaid for this stay and I had a Credit Card on file for incidentals. This happened because I tried to have my bag loaded into my airport transport before checking out. This could've been avoided if I were allowed to check out from my side of the resort but that was not an option.

All good. I wanted a wall clock and a painting in the room

Would have been better if we were given better details of the location, Near Baga beach is misleading. The hotel is remote and not in walking distance from the beach.

They charge way to much for food and drinks, plus to many rule to have to obey like ladies have to wear certain types of clothing in the pool, and you can not bring any item of food or drink back to the hotel or allow any visitor up to you room. The free wi fi is crap it is way way to slow as they want you to pay more for the better high speed package. Also the ratio of single man to families and couples is to high with these man just sit by the pool look at the ladies a bit creepy made my partner uncomfortable. WILL NOT BE BACK.

Location is not great and hotel is fairly dated. Breakfast area is too small compared to umber if guest accomdations so always struggle to get a table. 1 of the pools is permanently closed.

We were restricted using many facilities due to events like Indian weddings. Staff was very uncooperative. manager was rude. We were over charged. Almost double than regular charges. Terrible, uneducated staff. They cared only for corporate and wedding events and their guests. We were robbed. It was day time robbery. I demand full refund what we paid. I will never recommend this hotel to any body.

Drinks and food far too expensive for Goa. Internet poor unless you paid for it! For a 5 star resort this was unacceptable

Very nice hotel, good service, friendly staff, had an amazing time, would stay here again,

We planned for the Goa trip again after 4yrs and were confused which hotel to stay. Based on the previous experience we went again with Resort Rio and I must say they didn't disappoint at all. In fact I could recognize most of the staff which speaks a lot about the staff retention and happiness quotient among them. Being a returning customer we were upgraded to bigger room with awesome view as a complementary (thanks Durgesh for the gesture), We really appreciate this gesture. When we thought they were done they surprised us with the welcome cake in the room, talking about hospitality and the care they took. The hotel staff called us everyday to ensure that we were taken care of nicely. Overall I would recommend this hotel to everyone. Ideal if travelling with kids (we had two small ones to mend). Very courteous staff, excellent food and lavish as well as sumptuous breakfast spread. The House keeping staff were very prompt and ensured that they cleaned the mess which our kids enjoyed a lot making. Location wise too this hotel is ideal being close to Baga beach, Tito's lane (most happening place in Goa with all the clubs around) and Calungute beach as well as market. The property is worth staying with excellent swimming pools and lots of in-house amenities. One of the best place to stay near Baga beach and the most happening place in Goa!!
