My stay at Grand Sea Shades Goa was enjoyable overall, with a lovely location and a comfortable room. However, the process of checking in left a bit to be desired, as I had to verify payment details upon arrival. Additionally, while the hotel was mostly tidy, there were some ongoing construction activities nearby.

While the staff were friendly and helpful, the check-in process felt a bit unprofessional. I had to provide payment details multiple times which was frustrating, especially since I had already paid upfront.

The hotel is in a quieter part of Palolem, which I loved. It's still close enough to shops and restaurants, especially if you rent a scooter (I found some great hidden gems nearby!). Plus, being near the beach was a definite plus.

I had a decent stay at Grand Sea Shades Goa, with lovely beach proximity and a friendly staff, but there were quite a few hiccups. The room was clean and comfortable, although my garden view was essentially a wall. Also, my room was not cleaned during my entire 8-day visit, which was disappointing.

I had a wonderful stay at Grand Sea Shades Goa, experiencing both the beautiful accommodations and amazing sea views. However, there were a couple of areas needing attention, such as the trek from the parking area and some luggage handling issues. Overall, it was a nice experience, and I'd definitely recommend it to others.

Rooms

My room was beautifully clean and spacious, with stunning views from the balcony. I thoroughly enjoyed sitting there, taking in the morning and evening scenery. However, it would have been nice to have a place to hang clothes, as the wardrobe had no coat hangers.

Service

Unfortunately, I found the service could be improved. There was no staff assistance for handling luggage, which was a bit frustrating. Also, some areas like the reception could have used better ventilation, especially since there were no fans available during check-out.
