The place was a dive. I checked in and was shown a terrible hut. The place was out of date. I tried to stay but after half an hour checked out. There was no restaurant or a bar as advertised on their website. The hotel nearby was modern and a lot cheaper!
The property is derelict and in ruins. The staff is lazy and sits around all day . The property could be so much more only if a little effort could be taken into cleaning the property . I wasn't sure I was getting in a hotel or anarcheological site .
It seems like property is under maintenance since long and food is expensive.
Don't expect property as you see in the Google or Insta.It's quite opposite.
However, it's 100 year old property and room are very spacious, gives you royal feel.
This is a lovely heritage hotel in the Portuguese style set in beautiful tropical gardens. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful and there is a restaurant serving a variety of international food though you’d be missing out if you didn’t try the amazing Indian cookery on offer.

Been coming here on and off for 30ys it was one off the best places to chill and stay with amazing swimming pool ,but it seem to need TLC, it needs the swimming pool floor re painted to look like a lagoon again. I think covid hit india hard ,but some money needs to be thrown at it to get up to how it was.
Home away home! Such a pleasant, delightful stay this is our second visit with our two little cats. The rooms are massive and definitely give a royal vibe with a cosy plunge. Nature gifted a lovely ambience with gorgeous birds and cute little two sisters (Cats) including paradise flycatchers and peacocks that come to visit quite often. The servers are so kind and helpful. The owner is a gem as well! The pool is quite large (lukewarm water supply) and nicely maintained as it should be. Definitely recommend those who are looking for a weekend/weekday getaway from city life. This place serves everything one may wish for (calm, private and animal friendly)
Good location and friendly staff. The rooms are very spacious but could use some maintenence. There was a working fridge and the shower had nice hot water, the ac worled good as well. The room was cleaned daily. There was no wifi in the rooms, just in the common areas. The pool was gross. Lots of algae, I did not swim there. The grounds of the property could use a little work to. There is a PADI dive shop conveniently located at the property so if you want to scuba dive Laguna Ajuna is a good choice. The location is good, close to beaches and restaurants and you can rent a scooter from reception for a more convenient commute. All in all the stay here was alright.
The hotel has a truly beautiful setting BUT the buildings are a little run down whilst this adds to its charm its interesting electrics were a little concerning. The staff are great and the service excellent But the air-conditioning was only in the bedrooms so the living space became very hot during the day. We had a great time but a little modernization would make it more appealing to a Westener However the value for money was excellent as was the food
Overall a pretty good stay. Walkable distance to Anjuna beach. Location and the staff behavior was very good. The rooms are big and it can easily accommodate 4-5 people. Gives you a feel of a traditional home in 1980's. Good for couples as well as friends/family. The property need some renovation to take it to a next level and the swimming pool lack cleanliness. The breakfast could have been better for the price they charge.
It was a good experience staying at this property. Had a great conversation with Mr.Farooq who is the owner of the place. Whatever little concerns I had, was conveyed to him. The rooms need a little more lighting. The kitchen staff is very warm, friendly and provides fresh tasty breakfast.
I booked 4 rooms for couples....n I stayed in a fabulous igloo shaped room..... everything was gud n mainly the owner of this property Mr.Farooq sir is so sweet that he himself came to greet us with that smile.....
Even the food is good ter, n Mr.farooq sir offered complimentary breakfast for us even it was not included in my booking.....it's a perfect stay for couples n friends with pool and other games to play ....I would like to visit again
Cons:
In One of my friends room ter was electric problem, n in rainy season u ll be having some insects too due to lush green environment around rooms.
Laguna Anjuna is truly an absolute gem of a place. In the middle of all that crazed party environment of Anjuna- here’s the perfect tranquil slice of heaven. The staff definitely make the place what it is and their smiling faces add to the energy of the space. Felt like home.
Really had a best time at this place... Amazing natural beauty they have maintained, a peaceful place to spend time in this hotel. Thank you for the wonderful Goan food.
I have stayed in this hotel before, but this time I took my husband and friends hoping for the same experience I had earlier. But this time rooms very not at all clean or maintained, staff refused ice in room service in the peak of heat, no backup when the lights went off. The people are lovely but the adminstration of the place needs some work. I was so disappointed to have to change hotels in the middle of my vacation. I hope they mange the place better because the place is soothing.
