William's Beach Retreat — Hotel in Goa

I recently had the pleasure of staying at a fantastic hotel near Colva Beach, and I must say it was a truly remarkable experience. From the warm and welcoming owner, Mrs. Sherlyn, to the convenient location, everything about this place exceeded my expectations.

Location and Proximity to Colva Beach: The hotel's location is undoubtedly one of its greatest assets. Situated just a short 5-minute walk away from Colva Beach, it provided easy access to the serene coastline and captivating views of the sea. This proximity allowed me to enjoy multiple visits to the beach without any hassle, making it an ideal spot for beach enthusiasts.

Exceptional Hospitality and Guidance: Mrs. Sherlyn, the owner of the hotel, played an integral role in making my stay truly memorable. Her hospitality was top-notch, and she went out of her way to make sure I felt at home during my entire stay. Her guidance and insights into the local attractions, restaurants, and cultural experiences were invaluable, making my trip to South Goa an unforgettable one.

Clean and Well-Maintained Swimming Pool: The hotel's on-site swimming pool was an added delight. I appreciated the fact that it was regularly cleaned and well-maintained, ensuring a refreshing and hygienic swimming experience. After a day of exploring the nearby attractions, taking a dip in the pool was the perfect way to unwind and relax.

Complimentary Tourist Bus Ride: One of the highlights of my stay was the complimentary tourist bus ride offered by the hotel to explore South Goa's prime locations. This thoughtful gesture allowed me to visit various attractions hassle-free and gave me the opportunity to soak in the beauty and culture of the region.

In conclusion, my stay near Colva Beach was truly exceptional. The wonderful hospitality of Mrs. Sherlyn, the hotel's prime location near the beach, the well-maintained swimming pool, and the added benefit of a tourist bus ride made it an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area and looking for a comfortable and...

I booked the room through MMT. Only good thing about the place is location, AC and balcony. Donot go by the pics. Even the pool is super dirty just like the room. I dont understand how MMT is putting such dirty hotels in there list. I guess this hotel has two types of rooms : One for people who are booking directly and one for people who are booking through MMT. Mind it guys if you are booking through MMT then you are going to spoil your mood. There are few points I would like to highlight :

1. The person at reception (Mr. Judo) was sooooo rude. I dont know if he behaves the same with everyone or only with ppl like us who book through MMT.
2. The bathroom was not at all clean.
3. The force of water was soo slow. It took almost 15-20 minutes to fill a mug.
4. After we complained about this a guy came and he said he has just put on the motor and water will come in next 20 minutes. Even after 30 minites the condition was same and the water was full muddy. When we told him about this, the guy told it is not muddy the water is clear. And then i thought of checking wash basin. There was no water in wash basin and when asked the guy said if the main tap (shower pipe) is open then water wont be coming from any other pipe. And when we asked why he said this is because the pipe connection is same. Then i told him to pls inform your manager that there is water problem in this room to which he replied "dimak kharab math kar". I was shocked with this reply and when i complained to the receptionist about this he said you can cancel the booking if you want. Is this the way you treat your customers. If you dont want people to book through online then I dont understand why are they having a tie up with MMT. There are many good reviews about this hotel I think may be they are the ones who haved booked directly, but this is my personal experience. Giving one rating because there is no option to give negative rating. Donot book this room even if they are giving...

First let me state that I am aware that you get what you pay for. And I've no problem whatsoever with living spartanly. As long as it is fresh and that the hotel's description of themselves is consistent with the truth. The order Lady in the reception, Shirley (?!) didn't ever understod her part at the hotel, except beeing rude and grumpy....

For 15 nights I paid (in different currencies) 1950 Sek €172 $186 £148 Rs 15,500

Cleaning doesn't automatically take place daily, you have to leave your keys at the reception and let them know. You have to pester them every single time about toilet paper and every single time they fail to put new ones. If something needs to be fixed in the room, it is not enough to tell the reception, you been told to tell the handyman Francis. So it was up to me to look for him.

Bed linen and towels smell clean but are full of disgusting!! stains. Not to mention the bed mattress which was really NASTY!! Same thing with the pool wouldn't even dip little toe in it. I stayed at the Williams for two weeks and only once was it cleaned properly.

Speaking of the pool, it "opens" at 8 in the morning and then people in in until around midnight. And people bath in it with clothes on or in undies...

Williams claims they have 24/7 room service, they absolutely do not! There is not even an intercom in the room. The lobby bar may have been there once upon a time, but it was probably a long time ago.

People I spoke to who went to Colva for many years said that Williams was once really luxurious, but as I said, that was a long time ago.

Something good then? Yes, the guys at the reception were very nice and were really good at English.

Proximity to the beach, takes about 10 minutes...
