Four of us recently spent three nights at the Bambolim Beach Resort in Goa, India, and though the setting was beautiful with lovely landscaping and a secluded beach, we will not be returning to this hotel. Rooms were old and grimy -- we had a cockroach in one room and a large hole in the patio door of another, and the beds had a sour, unpleasant smell. During our stay, the electricity and water (both hot and cold) were frequently off, the telephone lines were down (internet too), televisions and/or remotes were broken, air conditioning did not work consistently, and most of the health club amenities that they advertise (gym, steam room, sauna) were out of order. Service was also spotty, as we arrived at 5 pm after a long and bumpy car ride and had to wait an hour for our room to be cleaned, and maintenance and concierge were often more clueless than helpful. Aryuvedic massage was a bizarre, oily experience. It's too bad that the facilities were so abysmal, as the setting truly is lovely, but at the rates they charge, we cannot recommend this resort until improvements are made.
