- "A beautiful hotel set in beautiful gardens with attentive staff . The food is the best food in bogmalo and is definitely no more expensive than in the village ." - "After days in tents and beach huts we stumbled into Coconut Creek and it just is "International standard chic, luxury". Attractive up/down chalet rooms solidly build (brick and tile) in a safe, charming, coconut grove setting with night-lit walkways and well tended planting. It's small enough to be charming and big enough to feel slick. Breakfast was great with plenty of fruit and a full Indian buffet. Our room was roomy, sleek, stylish with nice tiling and textiles, fine linen and a big comfy bed. Everything worked. Staff were attentive and charming, all immaculate in caramel coloured uniforms and smiley. The pool and surround were inviting,the sun beat down, towels, showers and sun beds all tip top....and then as if all that wasn't enough, a gate leads out of the compound and down through a dusty track to Bogmalo beach (which doesn't get such a great press in the guidebooks but is actually rather good) and the hotel's 'sister' beach cafe right on the best coconut-fringed end of the beach with its own daytime sunbeds for guests to use and nights dining under the stars. Has it allo I'd say. But it is pricey for Goa- but actually all things considered, rather good value."
