LaRiSa Resort & Spa, Ashwem

Such lovely, comfortable rooms and grounds. The staff were amazingly accommodating and friendly as well.

They play loud music every day from 5pm-7pm. You'll want to stay in one of the rooms farther away from the pool if noise bothers you.

Was very tranquil, the staff were great and helpful, the patio for the room was really nice

I felt it was a bit far away from points of interest, room service for food should closed way to early, expected it to be much cleaner than it was, shower wasn’t powerful, pool side music was way too loud and the club music just ruined the ambience. Bar by poolside was very simple.

Well maintained

It was a nice stay. Nothing negative

Not what you expect from a hotel that positions itself as a 5 star resort. It’s 3 or 4 stars at best and the value for money does not match. Pool and facilities are not well looked after and there were some stains in the rooms on the curtains, towels and floor. Shower is clogged and water pressure is low. Food at the restaurant was so bad that we sent it back. Overall quite disappointing.

It’s very peaceful in a tranquil setting in the Forrest. Is about a 20 minute walking into town. And about 45 mins into the main part. The food and staff are excellent so we were happy to hang around the resort,

I would have liked to be closer to town but I think that would soil the peace and quiet . If you don’t think insects or creatures of the Forrest then this may not be the place for you.

Hidden gem in Ashwem. Excellent facilities, staff are very friendly, hardworking, approachable and professional. The staff especially Kritika, Arun, Hitesh and Virender went over and beyond to make our stay comfortable. The food menu is well catered for with multi cuisine options. The resort also has excellent in house spa options if you are after a relaxing massage. The resort can also recommend a contact for renting a car to explore the area or if you are after a boat cruise. Morjim Beach is more accessible if you have elderly family members rather than Ashwem side which is slightly hilly with steps to access the beach. Beachside restaurants like Goafornia, Azule and Tomato's are must visit. Tip on commute: Choose airport in MOPA (GOX) to save time on commute to resort due to heavy construction in process on the way to Panjim.

Nothing to comment.
