Nature Trails Rock Valley, Goa

The service, the atmosphere, the kindness from the staff was just wonderful 😊

My husband and I were looking for a peaceful staycation spot in Goa where we could enjoy nature, and a friend recommended Treebo Rock Valley to us—so we decided to give it a try. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed. A kind gentleman, Padmanath, helped us with our bags, and we were offered a refreshing hibiscus drink as we checked in. We stayed in one of their 18 individual cottages nestled in the jungle. The room was clean, had air conditioning, and offered just the right amount of privacy we were looking for. Being surrounded by greenery really set the tone for a calm and quiet getaway. Padmanath who helped us with our bags stood out to us right away—not only because he was attentive and friendly, but because of how humble and genuine he was. Throughout our stay, he continued to check in on us and made sure we were comfortable. His kindness left a real impression on us. In general, all of the assisting staff were incredibly warm and thoughtful. Their care and quiet attentiveness made the entire experience feel relaxed and welcoming, and it definitely added to our enjoyment. That same day, the staff kindly arranged a private tour of their spice farm just for the two of us—even though it wasn’t the usual time for tours. Sheetal, who guided us, was friendly and informative. It ended up being a really lovely walk through nature, and we appreciated the personal attention. As vegetarians, we ordered à la carte for our meals, and we thoroughly enjoyed everything we tried. The food was fresh and flavourful. Since I’m sensitive to spicy food, we asked them to tone it down a bit, and they were happy to accommodate. Breakfast, which was included, was also quite filling—bread with bhaji, pouris with potato, jam and tea, and bananas. Simple, but satisfying. We also requested to go kayaking early in the morning, and they arranged that for us without any trouble.

Rock valley is very nice place

Could be good. Just not well maintained or managed. A la carte food was very tasty. Nature walk was enjoyable at 0730.

The sheets and towels need replacing. Both had red dust ingrained and were shabby. Room had too many beds (one large and 3 singles), no doubt for maximum occupancy, but unnecessary for a couples booking. We were not informed of building work which closed the restaurant, and some of the pathways resulting in food having to be ordered from the very cold and very bare ‘banqueting hall’. No buffet available as only 3 couples eating at the hotel. Food ordered from the a la carte was tasty, but no atmosphere. Nowhere to lie around the pools, just hard benches. A large pool is also on site (but not advertised), which had an additional charge of 300 per person (although we negotiated this to 200 pp). The building work and grinding noises spoiled the potential for a relaxing afternoon. Felt the charge was completely unnecessary and felt like a rip off. Staff were not engaging and little info given about facilities (which mostly looked old and well used. Lots of day trippers visiting the spice garden, and catering for large groups.
