Riva Gold Coast

Breakfast was the best part for me, included in the price and excellent in taste, quality, and variety. I’d rate it 100/100. Staff and housekeeping also get 100/100 for being polite, professional, supportive, and keeping everything impressive and clean. I booked through MakeMyTrip at a very reasonable price for the quality. The rooms were spacious, extremely clean, and at a proper four-star level, with spotless, hygienic bathrooms. They were flexible when I added an extra day: even with a three-hour gap between bookings, they adjusted things smoothly. That cooperation is rare and appreciated. My stay at Riva Gold Coast was wonderful, a 10/10. It’s become my permanent go-to in Candolim, and whenever I’m in Goa I’ll stay here. Highly recommend it.

Friendly staff, good food, and decent rooms for a three-star place. It’s a nice boutique hotel near Candolim beach. Book add-ons in advance, since you may pay extra for them on arrival. The hotel sits at a junction, so there’s some noise from traffic and horns.

We had a really soothing stay. The hotel has a nice small pool and its own restaurant, and the staff were polite and gave great service. They provided a welcome drink, toiletries, pool towels, a hair dryer, a dental kit, and more. We were also allowed to check in a little before the stated time. It seems to be especially popular with foreign visitors, and I’d definitely recommend it. The location is a big plus, with supermarkets, restaurants, shacks, and shops nearby. One beach is a 4-5 minute walk away, and Candolim Beach is about 15 minutes on foot. Senquerium beach and Aguada fort taj are 10 minutes by bike; Mapusa bus stand is 25 minutes away, Parra road 20 minutes, and Vaghator beach 25 minutes. Parking is the one issue. If you have a two-wheeler, you can park it just about anywhere.

The staff were the best part of our stay and went out of their way to make it memorable. Huge thanks to Melvin and Deepu for being so kind and courteous, and to Ronald at the reception helpdesk for accommodating our special requests. The rooms were very clean and well maintained, and for such an affordable price, they met our expectations. Definitely recommend it.
