Cupid's Heaven Beach Resort — Hotel in Agonda

My husband and I rode our bicycles into Agonda on a steamy, hot afternoon late in February. Desperate for a cool drink and shower we spotted ‘Cupid’s Heart Resort’ half way the Agonda Beach road. We quickly secured ‘the best room in the house’ and were grateful to Sunny, the pleasant and friendly manager, and in particular for his assistance with securing our touring bicycles whilst we stayed at Cupid’s. ||||Do not to be confused by the word ‘resort’ in the name of this guesthouse, resort is it not. This bit of a rabbit warren of a concrete building appears rather tired and in need of at least a lick if paint. Our ‘best room’ had no a.c. and a ceiling fan that had two speeds only - very fast or very slow. The shared balcony generally had full ashtrays and overflowing garbage bins set off by wilting pot plants. The water was cold only and quite salty. ||||One glimpse of the so called chef, the kitchen and the food presented to the occasional customer, coupled with negative comments of those that had eaten there, was enough to put us off completely. ||||And then there was Covid and lockdown. What an experience. Cupid’s owner decided to close the restaurant and the restaurant area for sitting (which had the better wifi connection) leaving the guests to either stay in their rooms or sit on the hot, flat roof of the building. As there was no possibility of food this forced us guests to break lockdown in search of those few places willing to assist and serve food to tourists other than their own guests. It was a tricky time and became difficult enough to force us to find alternative accommodation where they were willing and able to take care of their guests. ||||Please note that the wifi is far from brilliant, the site photos misleading, the kitchen wanting as is the general presentation and the decor (e.g. some prints are mounted on the wall still in their plastic wrap -quite odd). I would certainly negotiate the price of the room should you choose to stay. That said it is central and has a number of good eateries nearby. Scooter hire is also available. Also as said, Sunny the manager, is most friendly and very helpful, his English is good unlike the other staff...

It's not Cupid heaven but Cupid hell We travelled as fly with kid and senior citizen. Now abt the horrific experience 1)Pathetic rooms with cob webs, sand falling down from wooden furniture, torn bedsheets n best of the lot- no hot water in bathroom When asked we were told hot water will be provided in bucket when needed but we had to literally beg and were made to wait for even 1 bucket of hot water. If you are travelling with kids only stay there if your kid can manage with cold water shower that too in winter season after enjoying on beach. At night around 2 a.m there was loud banging on opposite room door. So loud that person literally broke the door. Nothing was done by caretaker to avoid such nuisance. So sleep gone for toss on day 1 night. Now the best part Carpenter is called in to fix the door at 2 p.m in afternoon n he drills n bangs so that guest cannot even take nap. Don't even go there if you are given free stay. They don't even deserve rating 1.Owner of the resort plz on a serious note shut down your resort and stop minting money by sending old pics and fooling guests to book online and then suffer. Stay away folks from this one.. You will...

We couldn't Stay there as we already booked the rooms almost a month ago when we reached there the hotel sold out rooms locallly for local people bcz we booked through online site we got steal deal that may triggered them to have a larger profit by selling their rooms locally despite having an online booking already

when we reach there there nobody at the hotel instead of guy who knows nothing about online booking or have any authorisation towards the hotel no manger no owner was prsent at the time who can give proper explanation

still he rudely talked that we could get the 4 roomsinstead 6 rooms we booked for

really bad day at the time

i regret the day why i select this hotel

plz dont ever book this hotel if u got any chance stay away from these botel whom have no professional approch towards customer

who doesn't knw to how to treat customers not even knw how to talk with customers

i doubt that he dont knw what the meaning of 'Being Polite'

still he manages to have some smile on it

just imagine talking to a guy who was smiling by saying just hell the out here.

thats the...
