Spazio Resort – Hotel review, GOA!
Goa in off- season? It was the question everyone was throwing at us when we shared our plans to visit GOA in the first week of August with our then to-be-turning 1 year old toddler. GOA is vibrant from Oct – May and then goes in hibernation mode for 4 months as the rains progresses and leaves zero possibility for Water sports and Shacks to remain open. So the tourist inflows drops by 75%-80%, and only those who want some calm rainy-beachy outing plan then. Well, we were in this category!
We had booked our stay at Spazio Resort situated right between Anjuna and Vagator beach. Based on our stay, our review for the place goes as follows :
Stay Duration : 1-5th August 2016 .
Price Range : INR 2400-2800 (Standard Room), INR 3400-4000 (Deluxe Room)
We were 2 couples , each with 1 year old toddler & so booked 2 standard rooms.
Location : Around 50 Km from Goa airport, it took us 1 hour to reach hotel by cab. It is situated close to Anjuna and Vagator Beach
*Check-in/Checkout : Check-in was smooth and quick, well handled by reception managers at 11pm in night . Checkout had some confusion regarding our request for late checkout but management handled it well.
* Cleanliness : Property is well maintained and was under expansion till sometime back, but we never felt disturbed at any moment.
*Room : Decent sized rooms with the options of Double Bed /2 single Bed With LCD TV, Mini bar, Safe Deposit, Sofa, Balcony with ample space to roam around. Bathroom had Hot/Cold Water option 24*7. Complimentary 2 water bottles were given at time of check-in. Deluxe rooms had an additional Bath tub compared to Standard rooms.
* Pool : It was a small size pool with separate section for kids. Being an off season, there was not much rush but more cleaning was expected
* Food : Breakfast spread was average (Again due to off season). What all it had was : Orange Juice, Bread/Butter/Jam, Cornflakes, Milk/Tea/Coffee, Egg and One Indian/Continental dish of the day. Availability was from 8am-10am. Restro – Bar was Cool and food flavours matched perfectly with our north Indian taste expectations.
* Travel Desk : No separate travel desk but reception helps and guides well in planning local sightseeings. It also arranges for vehicles including Scooty/Car and Airport drop at reasonable rates .
*Internet : Hotel has Free WiFi but signal reception was poor inside the rooms. We had to collect login/password from the reception, which expired in 24 hours (Area of improvement)
*Additional Facility : Small Souvenir Shop, Library, Parking
*Observation : Although Hotel Policy doesn’t allows Stags/bachelors but during our stay, 4-5 bachelors were there (Reason :Off season)
Overall, The stay was pleasant and being off season the place was non-eventful with zero activity but that is true for entire Goa from June till September. We would love to checkout this place again in peak season to tap on the real vibes of the place .

A nice option to have for the off season period. Breakfast spread does seem quite less though, even by those standards.
I along with a few friends was planning to visit Goa soon. This sounds look a very reasonable option.
Yes do check it out!
Welcome to goa! There is a lot to do off season, like white water rafting in the mhadei , spice plantation visits, goa has close to 30 waterfall sites and the Goa tourism board has started taking treks every Sunday in the monsoons . The zoo and the wild life sanctuary, water park and indoor play areas are other things to explore during rains. I am from goa, and wrote a goa for kids post for my friend Alexa campaign aswell !!!

Looks lika a great resort to hang out with family and friends. The pool side area is eye catching plus cleanliness looks perfect
Goa is really a beautiful and wonderful place to visit. I just love this place for its beautiful beach. This place is on the top of my vacation trip list. So whenever I plan to go there I definitely stay in this hotel. Beacuse the prices you shared are very reasonable than other hotels which I checked on Google. Great review and very helpful for many to choose this hotel. #minreads #myfriendalexa
With amenities provided, this seems to be value for money.
The review gives quite some clarity and for sure, im going to take a room next to the reception. No wifi no life!
An honest hotel review with pics is very helpful. It helps our family and friends for their trip.
Nice review 🙂
This is a nice description but the place over all looks a little average. No?
I have never been to goa..and now a days i came across many post which talk about this place and makes me feel sad that i couldn’t make it till now.
My worries aside, the review of the stay u had is useful and also seems like all the basic amenities are provided at a reasonable price! Thanks for sharing this review 🙂
We too went to Goa in August. Our reasons were similar – peaceful beach experience at a reasonable price.
Looks like an option to consider for stay during next visit !
