Sal Riviera

The reception service was absolutely poor. One of us showed an Indian passport instead of an Aadhar card, and staff asked us for an Indian visa. They apparently believe Indian passport holders need a visa to enter India when traveling from abroad. If you book here, check the room for hidden cameras for your own safety. There are much better options nearby.

The hotel was clean and that part was good, but its policies don't seem to apply to the hotel itself. They got my total amount wrong. I asked them to return the extra through QR, but they said I had to come back and collect it at reception. When booking, they insisted the advance had to be paid through their QR as their policy. But to return the extra money they'd taken, they wanted someone local we knew to send it and collect it at reception. If we knew local people there, we wouldn't have come to your place, we'd stay at their home. The policies aren't reasonable.

We stopped here at New Year's 2026. It was right by cavelossim beach, an easy walk, with a lovely river view. The area wasn't crowded, the stay was very comfortable, and the service was great. The staff were extremely hospitable.

The property sits by the river, or perhaps the backwater, just off the main road. Our room was very clean with a good view, and the WiFi worked well. The staff were friendly and accommodating. I would have liked more food options.
