Visited this shack for the 3rd time this March with my teenage son. As always we recieved a warm and friendly welcome. The food is lovely with a wide menu choice and nothing is to much trouble. We were well looked after by all the staff but our waiter Reddy was fantastic and worked hard even guessing when we needed... More

Me and my wife were on a vacation after a long time and the sole purpose was to relax. We went down to baga searching for good shacks, I had already read reviews about this shack and therefore without any doubt entered this shack. It seems to be like any other beach shack lined along the beach, but the people... More

We visited Shining Star beach Shack on our first visit to Goa this year,and all I can say is,this is well worth a visit. They have free sun beds on the beach just outside where they look after you with anything from the food and drink menu.Try the prawn salad and spicy Calamari and chips,a perfect lunch between two of...

We came here twice whilst on holiday and they always helped us find a sun lounger and were quick to take our order for drinks, we had a few snacks throughout the day and they were lovely, staff very helpful and will return here on next visit :)

Great staff, great food, great atmosphere. Raj our waiter looked after us so well he was very aware of our every need from sorting our sunbed to recommending from the menu. Monday Bbq night is well worth a visit you can choose from a variety of fresh fish cooked to your own personal taste, amazing food. Highly recommended.

The shack is probably one of the better ones at Baga Beach, but Baga has deteriorated greatly, there are too many tourists, beach sellers, and water sports, the sea smells of diesel, and has become the in place for Indian tourists as well as the large Russian influx. I understand its all about business, but the halcyon days have gone... More
