Goa: Varca Palms Beach Resort

Tripadvisor Link of this review with a snap.

We booked this hotel for 3N/4days full board package, it was suggested to me by one of the school days friend who stayed here in off season. I got in touch with Vincent (one of the managers at this Unit) over the phone call - gave the reference of my friend and got a my booking done.

I travelled with my family (son - 4yrs and daughter 1yr) and my wife. This was our 2nd trip to Goa after marriage - Honeymoon trip. We first stayed for 3N/4days in North Goa to enjoy the night market, do water sports and enjoy beach hopping and then moved to this Hotel in South Goa for last 3 nights to relax on its private beach before flying back to Delhi.

My package included the Airport pickup and drop, but as I was travelling from some North Goa Hotel (they also had Airport drop in my package) I took the same cab to drop me to this Unit and paid him some extra cash - which was adjusted in my bill by Vincent.

The welcome at the Hotel reception was wonderful, the Hotel staff was very helpful we reached around 2:00pm – so they suggested us to go for lunch first. It was of 5th of Jan. The Chef at the Niel's Cabana restaurant was very friendly we ordered some non-veg Indian food and my son asked for Pasta. The India food quality was good, but the Pasta was made very tasty and son was very happy – then onwards asking for pasta every time we went for lunch. The service was very good, all staff took good care of our kids and we could relax.

We stayed in the Garden side Villa, just 1 row behind the swimming pool. My kids loved the Swimming pool area (the kids pool). The private beach was clean and we did spend our lot of time on the beach.
Our package also had a half-day city tour with River cruise – which was well organized by the hotel in an Air conditioned Accent car.

We enjoyed the Russian theme dinner party at Waves - the beach side bar on 6th Jan and did dance to the tune of DJ till 11:30pm and enjoyed the wonderful food. The breakfast served at Niels Cabana was well spread and I liked the various shakes on the stand.

This Hotel is away from the noise of town and you will not get anything outside the hotel, do stock up all essentials before checking-In like I took Lactogen 3 for my 1 yr old. Do go full board no cheap resturants around. Nearest town is around 3 to 4 km away.

We enjoyed our stay here and would be back again here on our next trip to Goa, apart from recommending it to our friends. Thank you very much for making our stay so memorable!!!
