Aguada Anchorage - the Villa Resort, Candolim

I stayed here with my parents, uncle and aunty in their three bedroom villa. The team at Aguada Anchorage was amazing and very very helpful in guiding us where to go in Goa. The property was very clean and well maintained with great facilities. They were also very helpful as my uncle and aunty are elderly. The property is 5-10 minutes walk from restaurants and 5 minutes from the beach. Lovely stay, highly recommend.

The description of these villas is remarkably unrealistic. I was expecting a beautiful villa with a nice seating area and clean and tidy kitchen. I arrived and quickly scoped out the villa, I was hopelessly depressed. The villa assigned to us looked nothing like the photographs. The living space looks like a bad Indian restaurant from the 1980’s. Rock hard banquette style sofas, no television. Filthy old kitchen with a rusty cooker, smudged and grimy toaster and kettle. Most rooms have a blue film on the windows which adds a dingy feel to the space. No where to eat outside. All the furniture looks like it was rescued from a skip. Ok I’m British so what? I was expecting a pretty decent villa, and this is absolutely horrible. All the villas on the compound look dirty on the outside grimy with moss, cracked tiles and leaves and rubbish everywhere. I ventured to the communal pool, again in total disrepair and the pool its self looked like a scene from a bad horror movie with dead frogs floating in the murky waters amongst branches and leaves. We have complained, and we will be looking for a refund. I just want to go home.!!!!

I stayed here for 5 nights from 20th June to 25th June 2024 . It was a lovely stay there and Ms Sheetal was very supportive even they have given us one villa to stay even after checkout to wait for flight time, its depend upon availability but they are very supportive, food was also very goods here…… villa gives you proper vibes of goa, even the luxury premium villa will not gives u this vibe. Very near to beach just walking distance.
