Dudhsagar Spa Resort

“Good for a 24hour trip”

My friend and I came to describe this place as "deeply fine."

My friend and I came to describe this place as "deeply fine." It's not spectacular, but you can tell it used to be: the property has a lot of natural beauty and there are spaces on it that clearly used to be used for things like rope courses and swimming and such. However, it seems they have not recovered from COVID: the pool is opaque with algae, the ropes course has disappeared, and the facilities like the bar have only limited hours. It seems it used to be spectacular and could be again, but they haven't really put in the effort to revive it. There also aren't as many things to do in the area as are advertised on its website: the nearby spice plantation and wildlife preserve that advertise tours did not seem to be having them, or only had them at very limited times that we could not seem to get. Either that, or the one guy charged with driving the hotel taxi just didn't want to drive there that day...some of the staff that live there seemed a bit put out at having guests to work for. That being said, it has rooms with AC, it's on this beautiful piece of forest property, and it does have amenities. So...it's fine. You can do the falls and the temple in 24 hours, so it's good for a one-night stay. Pros: - air conditioned rooms -- key in Goa - some of the staff were very friendly and helpful - gorgeous property within a short trip to Dudhsagar falls and Tambdi Surla temple - the restaurant across the road is SPECTACULAR Cons: - property is a bit run down - not a lot else to do apart from Dudhsagar (which is really miraculously beautiful) and Tambdi Surla - sheets were dirty when we got to the room--they changed them immediately with apologies, but still....gross. Stay for 24 hours, not more: see the temple, sleep, go to the falls in the morning, relax in the afternoon, & head home.

“In the lap of nature”

A nice place in the lap of nature. Very large and beautiful property. Needs better maintainance. I would say these guys are doing their best here; indra built up is also good; maintainance is also good but I think the kind of traffic these guys attract and the rates (less than 2K per night per nigh… more

A nice place in the lap of nature. Very large and beautiful property. Needs better maintainance. I would say these guys are doing their best here; indra built up is also good; maintainance is also good but I think the kind of traffic these guys attract and the rates (less than 2K per night per night) they offer; the combination is certainly a winning deal for customers. Not a premium place though! But then what are the options here?

We had booked 2 rooms out here for a day...wanted to extend but decided to cut short due to below reasons: Lets talk on food: average food...eatable..dont order chinese its oily..if you are late be prepared to eat cold food on a buffe Rating 2.5 out of 5. The guys out there will.not even bother to ask you...was left with some bones of chicken to eat due to late arrival and cold food. Room: was just above average. Tea kettle was there , tea cups were there but no tea sachets/sugar.(so why keep the tea cups) Was told tea cups is for drinking water. There were no glasses kept had to exchange it personally at the reception..i asked them later on to give me another glass..was told that they dont have, but was given some coca cola (brand)glass...the entire property maybe was occupied by just 2to 3 families( counting us).visited this property on 24th april 2021 Rating : 2.8 out of 5. tents were very below average , flooring was bad. Could see some discolouration and fungus type ... told them to give room , had a tough time closing the bathroom door..even the lock system of the main door needed repair...overall 2.5 out of 5 rating for room...just 1 socket given in a room. AC was old and with some noise but kept us cold in summer..that was good. I feel the place requires good maintenance..room wqs clean...some switches are old. But works. What i liked was the hot water even at 12 midnight. That was welcoming. Place: its location is on the roadside...but you cant hear the traffic..that was good...if only the owners were interested in the upkeep of the property. What i liked in the property was the duck..staff interaction was good..these guys cant do much anyway. Cheated: felt cheated as i wanted to relax with ayurveda massage/spa...but was told that this is closed because of goa government order, which was actually a lie. AS I WAS carrying a government circular that only swimming pool has to be closed..and spa /massage needs to be operated with 50% staff...I even showed them the circular..they should have informed on their website...we had to cut short our visit. Just wanted to get back home. It makes life easier when informed the " have and have nots" while booking... Verdict: average place..location just near the goa border with karnataka... I feel the property requires a makeover and maintenance...the lighting needs to be improved specially if you want to visit the restaurant from room to the restaurant...partly its ok but aftersometime its dark..we had to use our mobile lights... Because of limitation i would give this property 2.5 out of 5....

General: The resort was green and lush The room we booked was decently sized and well ventilated. Pros: Staff were polite and willing to go that extra mile Room looked a little tired and aged, but was okay, so is the washroom Bed was okay, no noise pollution offering excellent sleep quality Food was Okay (barring the fish fry for very late dinner) especially the breakfast Cons: A/C was old and slow to cool Rooms looked tired Bed linen has tears and faded Creeky and old curtains on the doors and windows Overall value for money - 6.5 out of 10 (4 out of 5 for the staff)
