Alila Diwa Goa

We stayed for one week at this hotel in Goa as a family of five, and everything was absolutely perfect. The hotel is ideally located just a three-minute drive from the beach, which can easily be reached using the golf cart service provided by the hotel. From the hotel itself to the atmosphere and the swimming pool, everything exceeded our expectations. The staff were truly extraordinary: always smiling, welcoming, and ready to help. This applied to everyone, from the housekeeping team to the bartenders, the restaurant staff and the reception desk. Speaking of the restaurant, I would especially like to thank Sourav and his team for the many meals we enjoyed at the hotel’s main restaurant, which offers breakfast and dinner in both buffet and à la carte formats. The food was excellent, very diverse, and the service was outstanding. We spent the night of December 31st to January 1st at the hotel without having any particular expectations, and it turned out to be exceptional. Even though my siblings and I are young adults over 18, the evening was perfectly suited for everyone: couples, young children, adults, and young adults alike. The hotel also offers yoga sessions, both group sessions included in the stay and private sessions available at an extra cost. The group sessions were very relaxing and enjoyable. Once again, a huge thank you to everyone working at this resort for their kindness and warm hospitality. I highly recommend this place.

Wonderful stay at Alila Diwa Goa! The hospitality was outstanding, and our child enjoyed the warmth and care from the staff the most. The restaurants were amazing — Spice, Courtyard, Vivo, and Bistro — each offering great food and a lovely ambience. A special thanks to Saurabh from Vivo Restaurant for his exceptional service and friendliness. Highly recommended for a relaxing and family-friendly stay. Looking forward to visiting again!

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Alila Diwa Goa. This was my third visit here in my last five trips to Goa, and there’s a reason I keep coming back - the experience is consistently exceptional. I stayed at the Alila Diwa Club and the room was fantastic - beautifully designed, spacious and extremely comfortable. The hospitality throughout my stay truly stood out; every staff member was warm, attentive and genuinely committed to creating a memorable experience. The food across all the restaurants was top-notch and consistently delicious. The property itself is stunning, peaceful and beautifully maintained, with a serene atmosphere that makes you instantly feel relaxed. Overall, a flawless and deeply enjoyable stay - I highly recommend Alila Diwa Goa and would love to return again soon.

It's a nice resort! Rooms are amazing, pools are very nice, location is good (though not near any ATMs, FYI, so stock up elsewhere if you want to hang out at a cash-only beach shack). In-house restaurants were pretty mixed. We liked the breakfast (lots of variety and good South Indian options), but the service for lunch/dinner was insanely overbearing - every time we started serving ourselves from our shared dishes, they'd rush over and offer to help. Like, do you think I'm five years old? I can serve myself. Why would you run over, ask me where I want you to serve my curry, then slowly, painstakingly, spoon some of it onto my plate, when I could just serve it myself wherever I see fit? Leave me alone! The restaurants also have zero atmosphere whatsoever and they're very expensive. Food is fine but not exceptional. I would recommend just staying here for the rooms/property and eating elsewhere. Martin's Corner is nearby and serves very good Goan food. Oh, and stay away from the salon services if you don't have Indian hair - they seemed to have zero idea how to deal with my partner's hair and ended up botching her haircut.

It's a beautiful resort, well maintained and good location. Our rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable. The beds were cozy, soft, and we all had good night sleep although our afternoon siestas were constantly disturbed due to the high bass noise from the pool club downstairs (they did not bother to do anything about it after complaining). The breakfast was very good - lots of variety, hot, fresh, and delicious. The food in Spice Studio was also tasty although the quantity was small and service was inconsistent and slow (we were ignored after the initial interaction). The bar was very good - drinks as well as the service. Spa was nice and relaxing but busy (only few slots available). The beach is a 15 minutes walk away and they do have a shuttle but it was full half the time. Overall, a good experience but a notch below five star; it was definitely not as good as couple of years ago.
