    The room was a bit darker and needs more lights. The washrooms would've been a bit more cleaner.

    The property is clean and beautifully maintained. Has a good and enclosed parking area, with a handsome GSD to guard the place. The pool side restaurant has a fantastic river view, do not miss early morning bird sights. I would definitely visit with my spouse again.

    The path to the property is not that great for cars to get in. Also, some construction is happening on the main road, making getting into the property a little challenging. I felt the rooms were a little small and lacked proper ventilation.

    Once you enter the gate, the location is bang opposite a mangrove forest and is peaceful. The food is decent and is priced reasonably. The staff and the host are very friendly and helpful.

    There is nothing much that I didn't like but the food is very delicious The only thing is in the food menu it has less variety. .

    The place is very calm and chill. We enjoyed our stay at this property. The place is outside of Panjim city that's why it has less noise.

    Somethings in the room could be updated - there was a fridge but it was bit dirty; (light) switches had stickers but old/dirty so not able to read anymore

    Beautiful view from the terrace and nice pool. Room was spacious and in general okay

    They say no to pets. But they have pets freely roaming around the stay.

    This an amazing place next to the river. The food was good and decent pricing.

    The entry of the property. We had difficulty with our SUV. Also the room size was small and was not worth the tariff.

    The open air seating space overlooks the lake. This is the best part of the property. Also the staff was good. Rahul is always available with a big smile.

    The people staying across our room were playing loud music. And it looked like inter connected rooms (but locked) and we could hear their noises loud and clear even during mid night.

    The Lake view was pretty good for relaxing. The staff were also helpful. Breakfast and dinner was also nice.

    Really there is nothing I can complaint about in our long six days of stay.

    Mr Leo and Mr Benjamin are really good and friendly. Staff Shankar, Rahul and Vinod and his wife , they are there when you are in need. It is truly a safe place for couples, girls and families. If you want a safe calm place prefer it.There were few single male guests. One guest , nice friendly gentleman was there from France. Call Serene water home, they will advise you as per your requirement.

    Money-Minded Fraud: No Commitment, Sells Confirmed Bookings for Higher Price
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Budget Double Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    Disappointing and Unprofessional Experience I had a confirmed booking for this property through Booking.com, with a screenshot clearly stating the confirmation. On the day of check-in, I received a message from the property at 7:14 AM stating that the booking would only be confirmed if I transferred an advance payment. This was not mentioned anywhere in the confirmation email from Booking.com. Since we were in transit and sleeping at that hour, I didn’t see the message, which came only as a notification on the app or via email. The property had my phone number but didn’t bother to call or send a WhatsApp message to inform me. By 8:54 AM, they canceled the booking without my consent. We arrived at the property, having spent a significant amount of money traveling, only to find out that the booking was canceled. It became clear that the property owner sold the room to someone willing to pay more, disregarding any sense of professionalism or commitment. This experience was incredibly frustrating and ruined our plans. Such untrustworthy behavior for the sake of extra profit is unacceptable. I would strongly advise against booking this property to avoid similar disappointment.

    Staff behaviour Location Rooms and cleanliness. Not safe and secure. its interior and no one can stay peacefully. Noise and unfriendly staffs Manager is a crack and he doesnt know how to speak with customers.

    The location is a deep shit and the manager was very rude to us. The rooms are big but total waste.. it is a house with some people and the pics we seen in this website and the original rooms are completely different. Total waste of money. We never feel comfort in this hotel. Please dont waste your money on seeing pics.
