We have been going to Goa for over 20 years but for some reason have never stayed at the Nazri. This was our first trip since pre covid. We arrived mid December and stayed for 2 weeks over Xmas. Arrived late afternoon. First impressions, check in friendly and smooth, taken to our room which was Deluxe with pool view. Was surprised how ***y different blocks of rooms the hotel has. Didn't expect that. Was also surprised there was a lift which is really unusual for Goa. The room was large, spacious, a good sized bed, safe in room, a bathroom with shower over the bath. The good thing was that the bath is not too tall so its really easy to step in for the shower, which is great for people with reduced mobility. The balcony overlooked the pool and plains. We found the bed linen really good, much better than in ***y hotels we've stayed before. Breakfast - we only had this a couple of times, which is no reflection on the hotel. There is inside and outside seating, breakfast is busy, but staff are really helpful. Everyone seemed happy with what was on offer with lots of food being eaten. There is an omelettes station and a station for Indian bread. There are lots of beds around the pool and on the lawns. Availability was only an issue the Xmas week, but still the pool boys ensured every one had a bed, and an umbrella if required. The towel boys were really good and after a day or two knew your preferred spots, how ***y would be using the beds and ensured you were seated comfortably without asking. Theres a small pool bar which is open all day and night and a nice gathering spot. Prices are really reasonable. People seemed to be ordering snacks and meals which were served at lunchtime I think. They have entertainment or theme nights a few nights a week which people seem to enjoy. In the evening the inside restaurant is open which has a bar but we didn't use this. In terms of location its perfect. Straight outside the hotel gate is the busy Baga main road, and its a literally 2 minutes to Tito's lane. Also its great for access to the beach. But when in the hotel and by the pool you would never believe you were so close to the hustle and bustle as the hotel is quiet and peaceful. All staff are polite and helpful. The Tui rep tended to have a walk around the pool mid morning to greet guests which is always nice to see. Goa itself has changed so much over the last 20 years, even before Covid. We found ourselves thinking, ”so ***y things the same”, ”so ***y things different”, but basically we were so glad to be able to get back to Goa again. Would I recommend this hotel. Definitely. Location, staff, excellent pool area and staff, great rooms and beds. (Lift and low baths good for people with less mobility). What's not too like! Already booked again.
