Pause By The Sea

Location, electricity fluctuations, pesky staff

The beachside location, hospitality and the overall experience was very good.

Limited items on the menu.

The architecture and location were exceptional , maintenance and the atmosphere created by the staff was heartwarming , comfortable and luxurious . Our dog was so happy and adored by everyone .

Could've had more food options .

Lovely clean, well appointed and comfortable cottages. Good value restaurant with excellent food, especially the pizza (Goan speciality and delicious). Attentive, efficient and friendly staff. Felt very welcome and looked after. Great position on the beach.

Nothing significant that I did not like. It would have been nice to have shops more accessible, however, then you would sacrifice the calm. The power frequently dropped in and out. Not an issue in general as it was essentially the lights flickering but I did give up on trying to watch any streaming service on the fab smart TV, as I would have to restart each time.

Premium specs. Authentic food quality and cocktails. Wonderful service. Warm & supportive staff. Especially Shaym.

No sea view from rooms. Rooms do not have windows. Stay rates are high. Double bed should he bigger. Mattresses& pillows are too soft and not comfortable.

This was my 4th stay at this property and everytime it’s been brilliant. Right from check in, to the daily service, the rooms - everything is superlative. I’d change nothing. What’s even better now is the attached restaurant. The food there is outstanding so now an added reason to come stay here along with the close proximity to the ocean.

The geyser in my room wasn’t heating enough

Its cottages are cosy and good ambiance. Nearby the sea beach .. enjoyed the location

Breakfast was horrible and even all the food menus were overpriced. We had to depend on shacks beside the resort

Lovely location and property. Well maintained.

I have been booking with booking.com for over 12 years in various countries and this was the first time I was asked to make a transfer to the property out of booking.com to confirm our booking.We do not live in India and hence do not have means to do transfers to accounts in India. I told them to take the pay from the card provided to booking.com, but they refused to do that as well. In all these years of booking with booking.com I was never asked to do this before. It caused a lot of inconvenience. They would not budge. They need to understand not everyone travels from within India and not all can just do transfers out of the site.

We highly recommend Pause by the Sea and Uma by the Sea! There are several reasons for this, but to highlight a few: the places are clean, located right on the beach, and the food is exceptional. Most importantly, the crew is incredible! From the moment we arrived, they made us feel very welcome, and we chose to spend our days at the property. They assisted us with transportation, late check-in, and special requests. The whole place is not too large, giving it a family vibe. The staff appears genuinely devoted to their jobs, and unlike other facilities we've stayed at, they are not intrusive; they let you enjoy your peace and rest. The menu is thoughtfully crafted, and we admired it greatly; the pizza and local entrees, in particular, are outstanding! We also tried some local cocktail specialties like the Lavender Oat. Kudos to the chef and the mixologist! A special shout-out to our dear friends Guavar and Rohim, who shared valuable insights about the local area. Regarding the tranquility: the property is situated in a quiet part of the coast, with only three other establishments nearby. Occasionally, you might hear some distant music, but earplugs can easily resolve that if needed. During our stay, one of the neighboring pubs had a party that was quite loud, but we didn’t mind; it turned out to be fun as some of the hotel staff joined in! The property also features a pool, which looked nice and clean, though we didn’t use it—perhaps next time! Additionally, there is a well-maintained garden that is carefully tended to every morning and night. The road leading to the hotel is unpaved but you can easily reach the city center on foot in about 10 minutes or by scooter in under 5 minutes.

The rooms were clean and modern

Breakfast spread was ok. You have to order eggs, pancakes, sausages etc and the staff and we were disappointed with the service. Each time we ordered eggs with the staff (such as no black pepper for the kids), they would get it wrong - 4 days in a row! One sausage order is 2 tiny sausages and you have to order multiple times.
