Karma Royal Benaulim

We were there in August 2025, and there isn’t much else to say. It rained the whole time, so we stayed in our room most of the visit. Don’t plan a Goa trip during the rains.

A nice resort, with a fully furnished room that had everything we needed. There’s a gym, pool, and play area, plus lots of activities nearby.

Watch out for the scratch card trap. They’ll take up your valuable time at the resort, time you could have spent with family in Goa or on other activities. It’s a marketing gimmick meant to draw in tourists with pictures of iPhones, iWatches, holiday package vouchers, and Samsung phones. Think about it: why would someone give you an iPhone, iWatch, or Samsung phone when they’ve just met you and you haven’t spent a single penny with them? Be careful of these scams and traps in Goa.

The staff were polite and well mannered, and there was plenty going on at the resort, so we didn’t need to go out. There aren’t many places nearby that are lively anyway. I was told the property is 24 years old, which surprised me because it’s maintained so well that it looks almost new. It’s cozy and has a romantic feel, good for couples or families wanting quality time. I didn’t eat there, so I can’t comment on the food. We went out for lunch and made dinner in the room. I had a fantastic time.
