Agonda Serenity Resort

Amazing place to be in the month of december, probably my best trip to Goa so far, very good resort with wonderful view and hospitality. Rooms are quite amazing and cozy. we had a great time. The restaurant is on the beach with an amazing sunset view. we will surely come back.

Agoda Serenity resort plagues from small boutique hotel trying to emulate like a five star hotel , rigid , over calculative , without environmental concerns like a five star needs to go through. this is the summary of our experience.. not suitable for families, couples, groups, perhaps OK for individuals.

The sea view rooms are on the beach. Unhindered view of the sea. Quite, less crowded. Reasonably priced, considering the location. Good food choices, prompt room/ restaurant services. Good housekeeping. Clean beach though a few shacks are eyesore. Located on the sea at south Goa, this resort is a great place to stay.

Positives: Location was great, we had a beach facing room and the view was beautiful especially at sunset. The staff were very friendly, especially when we were having issues paying (it was for sure a card reader issue) but were patient until it was resolved. Clean rooms, nice to have choice of fan and air con, anti mosquito plug in room. Generally a nice place - communal area in bar, comfortable Negatives: As mentioned, card reader issues - maybe think of international travellers (and the automatic conversion to GBP is not good for the traveller at all). I resolved this by doing an international transfer via Monzo, which meant I was not paying out more than what I had agreed to when booking. We spent more time (while in Agonda) further up beach using other restaurants/hotels sun loungers and eating there at breakfast and lunch because their overall facilities were better. We had breakfast at the hotel once, which was OK. We had lunch another time and my watermelon and feta salad was a bit ridiculous for the price. Basically a bowl of watermelon, a minuscule crumble of feta and a sprig (garnish) of mint (which was listed as an ingredient). Would be good to have a kettle in the room.

When you are looking for a relaxed stay right at a beautiful and clear beach, great cabins, wonderful staff and awesome food, this is the place! The staff is really hospitable at reception and in the restaurant. I celebrated my birthday here and we got a beautifully decorated tafel on the beach with a delicious birthday cake. Daily cleaning, new towels and also beach towels are available. The food in the restaurant is amazing and the resort can arrange a pickup and drop off at the airport. On our last day we even got a free late check out as we were flying late in the evening. Best stay we could have wished for and we’ll be back!

This is a review for the restaurant only. We stayed here 4 years ago and returned to Agonda but wanted to stay elsewhere for a change. It was great to return to the beach front restaurant, the staff as before are very friendly as before and nothing is too much trouble The food is fresh and the menu varied.
