Casadiya resort — Hotel in Goa

Had highest hut of the five huts here for 4 nights (Rs 1500 per night) so great views from the balcony. Very friendly manager and his wife, nice food but naturally more expensive than Agonda as limited eating options at Cola beach (we also ate at walkable other restaurants here) Access interesting down a very steep rough path and were amazed how the female staff insisted on carrying our heavy suitcases on their heads both on arrival and departure. Tip well! |Unfortunately the bed 'mattress' was rock solid, as was the pillow, and amongst the hardest and unyielding I can remember in 4 trips to India in over 40 years!! This alone would stop me returning as could not sleep well so I recommend to the owners replacing them! The bathroom was very grim......salty, trickly shower water, tap over sink did not work, flush hopeless so had to chuck a bucket of water in to flush. Sadly we saw a couple of rats in the hut whilst there, one in bathroom and later in bedroom (running along top of inner walls) Lastly we were disturbed on 2 evenings by fellow residents (who I think were smoking cannabis, judging from the smell and their reactions when I spoke with them at 11pm) playing loud music and drums.( we and 2 other nice UK guests found needles and syringes just in front of the Casa Diya which was very disturbing....) I did tell the manager and showed him a needle I found. The owner and manager need to be aware of this and cut out anti social behaviour from international tourists|in such a peaceful location. Some ' international' groups seemed to descend on Casa Diya Restaurant in the day and take it over, playing loud music and taking endless selfies and 'glamour' shots. Owner please note! |But location great and staff nice but manager need to be more assertive in stamping out anti...

This place is right on Cola beach. To reach the beach you have to take around 1.1km ride on a bumpy road and then take a long flight of stairs. The place is run by locals - true locals that dont have enough to offer aesthetics buy only good food.

Before reviewing, one must keep in mind these very aspects.

This is one of the three restaurants on the beach. One of them is restricted only to the guests staying at their hotel, so if you are just visiting, this is one of the two options.

We chose this because it was closest to the beach. We had no expectations from food and went there purely to enjoy the view but to our surprise the food was great too.

The fish fry came with 2 pieces of fried mackerel with goan marinade - highly recommended and cost only 200 rs.

Next recommendation would be masala fried prawns. Only place where the prawns didnt taste rubbery due to overcooking. Delicious!

Fish thali was slightly underwhelming, but good nonetheless. Can definitely go for it.

I had a cocktail which had coconut fenny in it. It was good. However I am somehow not sure if other cocktails would be made well.

In short: you get what you pay for. The view is UNBEATABLE.

Beach side shacks that are way further from beaches in Palolem and Agonda charge Atleast twice of what you pay here. Check them out if you believe in supporting...

What an amazing beach great water for swimming nice and quiet. We took trip along from Agonda beach it's a better beach just difficult to get down too all steps from cliff top and bumpy road to get to the drop of top steps but the beach makes it worth it. Most people during afternoon day visiting by bike but we stayed at huts. All the food was amazing a little more expensive than most at Agonda. That's good points on negative side the huts very basic, bed rock hard and pillows not good sleep was not good at all. Could not wash in shower as it's salt water just cannot get a lather and nightmares shock because brushing teeth first. Not good for stay but definitely worth...
