Guest Reviews
- Giri (10/5): - I liked the ambience....it was mesmerizing. As soon as I entered the room it was a positive vibe. Right in front of my room was the sea view. Ohhhh it was calm and serene. Food was not that great though. But the breakfast was good. Planning to rebook it . Everything was good 👍
- Rishabh (8/5): Lovely hotel if you need to be near Panjim - View and balcony was awesome Bathroom was old
- Michel (9/5): -
- Marc (9/5): Excellent séjour dans un endroit calme - Emplacement .propreté. Personnel . Buffet petit déjeuner
- Atul Vishnu (5/5): Needs to improve specially in service - Location Staff & management is average
- Ryan (10/5): Worth every penny - It’s was beautiful and peaceful. I have read other reviews, trust me this property is amazing. The Harbour rooms are to die for. Nothing to complain about
- Rahul (8/5): Outstanding stay. - breakfast was good, wide menu, flavourful fare, excellent omlettes. The property is old - and rooms / bathrooms are not updated - while they have all necessities working fine. Everything else is excellent.
- jm king (3/5): Disappointing - The location was good, right on the beach & close to Dona Paula jetty. Lovely gardens & pool. Helpful reception staff. The buildings & bedroom were all very run down & tired. In need of lots of TLC.
The restaurant staff were very inattentive & slow. The breakfast was uninspiring (apart from masala omelettes). Fortunately there were some good restaurants nearby.
The beach & sea were very silty.
Incessant VERY LOUD music from the event hotel immediately next door at almost all hours (10am-10pm)
- Satish Kumar (5/5): Highly recommend renovating & energetic staff - Renovation Required Service , poor quality food .
- Datta (8/5): A very picturesque location. - Breakfast, View and Location excellent; Staff very courteous and helpful. Room amenities can be improved; bathroom modernized (understand that full renovation is planned). With updated room facilities, this resort will be an excellent holiday destination!
- misha (7/5): -
- Gerry (7/5): - Fantasic location Poor service from some waiters unable to smile and look happy.
- Michele (4/5): A évité - Je personnel très agréable L’emplacement est complètement isolé déplacement uniquement en taxi Petite plage mais peu propice à la baignade
- Ranjan (7/5): -
- Koenraad (8/5): Nice stay in an historic environment with nice garden, pool and beach access and with very nice staff - Nice location, a hotel with historic touch, very nice garden en swimming pool. Our room could have benefitted from a bit more maintenance and anti mosquitoes measures.

- Shailesh (8/5): - Beach resort with private beach .. location is so close to everything. Needs renovation.. the staffs told that is on cards

- Smita (8/5): Very peaceful, gorgeous view, almost private beach feet away - View, view, peace
- Nathalie (8/5): - Gute Hotelanlage. Direkter Zugang zum Strand & kleiner Pool. Aufgrund von einer Hochzeit im Nachbar Hotel haben wir ein Zimmer Upgrade erhalten. Gemütliches Bett. Tolles Frühstück.
- shailesh (10/5): Value For Money a Truly Luxurious stay For complete Body and Mind relaxation.... - Add some traditional Maharashtrian Dishes on daily basis like poha and upama... South Indian Dishes like idali and onion uttapa need some improvement... Rest everything is ok.. Bathroom fittings like shower needs to be replaced, it was instantly replaced on our complaint, Thanks for that....
- Biju (9/5): -
- Tanya (7/5): -
- Helen (5/5): - The garden area was very well maintained by staff
Reception & housekeeping staff helpful Property very dated & not well maintained.
Restaurant service very poor.
Had to continually ask for agreed discount to be applied & didn't receive all. The description of discounts on booking.com are not accurate.
Lots of stairs
Laundry service late return - we were lucky to receive before leaving & no apology offered.
- Paltu (3/5): Bad experience - Property is very picturesque. the quality of the rooms is very bad . It was not clean . Washrooms were not clean. Not worth that much of money
- Shweta (10/5): Amazing view, comfortable and spacious rooms, friendly staff!! - Friendly staff, tasty complimentary breakfast, and super clean and comfortable!!
- Daniel Teplý (9/5): - Hotel

Paní recepční a zahradník
Slušná cena piva
Lokalita Už se to tady zmiňovala několikrát. A to že je to krásný hotel v rukou amatérů.
Kdyby tam všichni pracovali jako zahradník tak by to bylo suoer..
Zahrada krásná úžasná, zato kolem bazénu špína židle a stoly pokalené od ptáku...

- Rajat Handa (8/5): -
- Shubhanjana (10/5): - The property has the old portugese villa charm set up in a beautiful location of dona Paola. The locality is great & offers direct access to beach. If you are looking for a non-crowded place with peaceful time, go for it. The food is also 👌. We had a great time as a family, our fur baby also enjoyed a lot playing in the beach..
- Rehan (8/5): - The private beach, the staff, the sea view, the food (excellent) Not very clean rooms - pillows, towels and sheets had marks and spots. Swimming pool could be cleaner.
- Tanveer (5/5): nice - view overall asethetics of the room , bathroom and balcony.
Sheets were torn..basically the whole interiors need to be refurbished.
- Anmol (9/5): -
- Basant (7/5): - Ms Cabral, at the reception, was very courteous and helpful.
Location was great. Rooms & restaurant were average.
- Vandana (8/5): -
- paul (7/5): overall I would recommend but it just needs some love, simple upgrades etc - The location is amazing - fantastic beach which is pretty much private to this hotel It just needed some very simple upgrades…. the property and pool did not feel loved. Simple lick of paint or a new fixture here or there would make the hotel 10/10. The breakfast buffet was 90% Indian. For western guests it was pretty bad!! cheap processed bread in a wonky toaster; sweet synthetic juice; factory farmed tasteless eggs; cheap butter that was like margarine. the lunch and dinner indian food was fantastic - really delicious. But the ‘complimentary’ breakfast was Soviet style!
- Basant (6/5): -
- Surbhi (7/5): -
- Jayesh (10/5): Best Hotel in Dauna Pola - I like the view from My Suite room, The breakfast was really Awesome all the hotel staff are very Polite & Helpful Specially The " Rajesh " was very good guy.
I like hotel cleaning as well as Food.
- Paulina (8/5): Widok z tarasu bezcenny - Miejsce niesamowite. Zejście na plażę na praktycznie prywatną zatokę wśród skał. 2 min drogi od Dona Paula sea view point oraz od rewelacyjnej restauracji z owocami morza Sea Pebbles. Sklepiki i mniejski autobus w odległości 5 min piechotą. Czystość pościeli i ręczników oraz ogromna uprzejmość obsługi w porównaniu z innymi rejonami Indii godna polecenia. Śniadanie w zależności od dnia dobre lub średnie jednak z ogromną starannością przygotowane. Hotel zachowany w sprawności ale z duchem lat 60-70. Materace twarde, może to być plus jeśli ktoś lubi.
- Matthew (9/5): Wonderful location with stunning views - Beautiful stunning location with beach, pool and restaurant facilities. Our room was literally ocean view. Staff were incredible and very friendly. It was a little tired in places, it would appreciate a coat of paint
- Matthew (9/5): Fantastic views of the ocean - Fantastic location with friendly staff . Nice breakfast choice with omelettes made fresh in front of you. A little tired could appreciate a refresh
- Jessen (8/5): - Great views with private beach. Everyone was helpful. Since we had a handicapped daughter, it was quite difficult to move around, though staff were quite helpful.
- Godinho (10/5): - Exceptional service from Ansel, Valencie, Vinanti, Elroy. The original room given.
- Gianreto (9/5): I would recommend to everybody to book at O Pescador - The people are very friendly, the location amazing and the good is very good there was nothing I did not like
- Farrusky (9/5): Amazing location in Goa - Amazing location - close to Dona Paula Pier, and literally over a secluded beach. Staff was very helpful, and we spent amazing time by the pool. Breakfast was quite good. At least our room would need some small renovation to be absolutely fine - nothing relevant !
- Monica (10/5): - Location
- Rifain (5/5): -
- Hattangadi (8/5): A wonderfully located place! - The room arrangements, cleanliness and comfort was excellent. The staff were extremely organised and explained everything very well. The breakfast was a great spread. The location itself was amazing - we chose the Harbour View and it opened out to incredible views. The Harbour View is an extension; hence the walk passing by other houses seems odd. A little bit more service would be appreciated.
- Anshumaan (7/5): Good, but not great - The harbour room is a good size. Staff is helpful. Breakfast needs to be better.
Also, while the staff was nice during our stay, they gave us incorrect information about what would be the best view from the property (checked twice with them) while we were booking.
Also forgot to serve us our welcome drinks.
- Alysha (8/5): -
- Gregory (8/5): - Comfortable room with a great view. It's older, but good value for money and nice feel. Breakfast was average.
- Simar Rajan Singh (5/5): Value for Money. Can benefit from a renovation. - Reasonably priced compared to Goa rates, good location. Has a small semiprivate beach, not very clean though. The view is good. Staff are polite and helpful within their constraints. Restraunt food is simple and good at a reasonable price. The rooms are dark. Bathrooms are need for a major rewamp. The bath fittings are old. Taps are a task to open. Shower barely functioned. Had to do with a bucket and mug. Cleanliness and housekeeper left wanting for more. In room amenities are poor and need upgradation.
- Ansar (8/5): -
- sanjeev (8/5): -
- Subrata Sanyal (9/5): - Excellent location, private beach, nice breakfast The room is looking a little old, and needs modernised furniture inside the room.
- dsouza (8/5): - The view and staff Facilities and bathroom
- Sandeep (4/5): -
- Ramesh (4/5): - Location is very good No safety, doors ares not good condition, anyone can break in one push, in the bathroom shower water no pressure it's is just dropping, can't bath properly
- Mehta (4/5): Left with very sad experience - Location… Location… Location Needs massive improvement… old and not maintained well
- DR M S Shankara Prasad (10/5): -
- Prakash (10/5): - We had a very good experience. Staff was wonderful. Special shoutout to Sainath , Akshay and restaurant staff , very helpful .
There is a scope for improvement in their restaurant service , I believe very underutilised faculty specially when we compare is to Sea pebble just beside it . Restaurant wasnt great , simple breakfast . But staff in restaurant is awesome
- Krithajnya (6/5): Okay but not worth the money paid - Breakfast, location, view, beach access Bathroom had a stench which didn't go away, paint was peeling off the roof, fridge was ancient and could definitely be cleaned better or upgraded, the door lock was broken, and they have one iron box for all guests
- rysha hamza (10/5): Elegant resort overlooking Dona Paula beach - The suite room has great views of the pool with the ocean in the background. Breakfast was simple and delicious and the menu was different on all three days. Great location with easy access to Dona Paula jetty and Miramar. Welcoming staff. Good value for money. No changing room near the pool. There's a guest toilet though.

- nam81284 (9/5): Nice stay. - The property is very beautiful. Staff is also good and responsive. Overall very good experience.
- rohilla (10/5): -
- Sachin (1/5): -
- Carvalho (10/5): Amazing.Must visit - Amazing view and good rooms. Homely vibes. Lack of variety in breakfast options
- Patel (1/5): Do not trust what Booking.com shows because this the worst experience i have had - Nothing except the view. We were extremely disappointed with our recent stay at O Pescador. Unfortunately, the experience did not match what was promised on Booking.com.
To begin with, the management was quite poor, and what was shown in the pictures online was far from reality. The property lacks basic organization and offers no privacy—the room balconies are shared, which is not ideal for guests seeking a peaceful stay.
The quality of furnishings was unacceptable. The beds, TV, and doors were in poor condition, and the bathroom was especially problematic—it was stinky, had inadequate water pressure, and insects were coming in through the sewage line.
Additionally, lighting in both the room and bathroom was dim, giving the space a shady guesthouse vibe, rather than the premium feel expected from a resort at this price point.
There was also no proper breakfast or well-maintained service. Overall, the resort was poorly maintained, and we felt cheated after paying such a high amount.
This is not what we expected from a platform like Booking.com, which we trusted based on the reviews and pictures. The difference between what’s advertised and what’s actually offered is shocking.
- Arjun (8/5): -
- Sreejith (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jovit (9/5): Calm and serene - The staff... no second thoughts on this! Each and every member of their team (the reception, housekeeping, restaurant, security, room service, maintenance, everyone) had such warm smiles on their faces at all times. No request was ever too much for them to fulfil!
The rooms were spacious and clean, and the property was nicely spaced out and had a relaxing feel about it. The property has definitely seen better days... there were a few minor concerns about things like the water faucets not having a good force, etc., but these were negligible concerns because it didn't ruin the overall experience. The key thing was, if you reported a concern to the team, they would immediately come and resolve it, or at least attempt to find a solution!

- Supratik (10/5): Exceptional -
- Saumarjyoti (7/5): Good - The Restaurant. They are very accommodating. Good Food and Service. The Breakfast Menu can be better. Looked just okay for that money.
The cleaning needs to be called everytime which sometimes feels like an added task.
- Pratik (8/5): Very good -
- Su (6/5): Fantastic location - great view - value for money - The property is a hidden gem for its location
Tucked into a cove with brilliant views of u take a sea facing room Room looks worn out
- Sarika (1/5): Bad -
- Sawant (9/5): Relax and enjoy your stay - The resort was calm and had a beautiful ambience The harbour view was awesome .I enjoyed my stay with my family The food and service was excellent .The staff was cooperative .You all are giving your best at your place See you all soon..We really had fun and had a great time . There is no question of disliking. Every thing was in the proper place.While dinner at the pool and beachside the lights should have been more because it was difficult to read the menu card in dim light when we had our dinner .Even room maintenance timing should have been more at least till 7 PM.
- Bhushan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Bhushan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mahima (10/5): Exceptional -
- Parab (9/5): Hotel with mesmerizing view !! Amazing Staff !! - O' Pescador has a SUPERB VIEW!! The property is located right on the beach.
We had booked the beach comber room which had a absolutely mesmerizing view... Valencia and Sainath and some restaurant staff were extremely helpful and caring. The property has an absolute fantastic view, however, one cannot sell with just the view... customers need a well maintained property.
The staff puts in an honest effort to make sure the guests are comfortable but the owners / management of the hotel needs to make sure that the property is well maintained.. by having regular repairs, changing damaged stuff, replacing old items etc. for eg, the doors and the windows are pretty old and so are the AC's and the refrigerators. The cupboard doors keep opening all the time.
Housekeeping team is extremely lousy. Overall cleaning of the property needs to be done regularly, there are plastic wrappers, used tissues and dry leaves at various places.
Loose tea bags were kept in the room, ideally they could have provided sachets. Bathroom needs to be redone, they have a weird stink.
The beach can be cleaned on regular basis.
- Asma (10/5): good - good good
- Britto (3/5): There are better options just next to this property - Not worth Nothing
- Purushottam (9/5): Superb - Good Service
