we liked everything staff really friendly service great and great food, Great location for getting around and sightseeing. really near to baga beach with free shuttle bus.

the canooing in the lake was fun.the cleaners were nice and done a very good job.the pool man was generous.the night life at the hotel was great.15 of my family members went and we all thought it was fabulous.we stayed on the other side were you had to cross a bridge. i was running through the back of the hotel after domonic.

We went to the resort marinha dourada for 11 nights during monsoon so things were different. The room standard was ok. The size of the room was good with a fair sized bed and cable tv. The a/c was poor becuase it was not adjustable so you were left either too hot or too cold. The hot water was nice when you had it but a few times we were left in the cold. The restaurant was poor - the choice was good but many items were not in stock. We enjoyed a few good meals but the ambience was lacking in the extreme - plastic chairs and terrible jittering music. We were glad to make use of the taxi service every day to visit different restaurants. Our favourites were hotel fidalgo in Panjim, the royal goan hotel mexican restaurant (10 minutes walk away) and capricorns excellent seafood restaurant in calangute. One thing the restaurant in resorte marinha dourada did well was the chips - they were excellent. We felt the food was overpriced for the restaurant. Mains were 100-300 rupees which is quite cheap for UK money but for this money elsewhere you get quality food at beautiful restaurants with lovely charisma. The breakfast was included and we ate it every day. It was average with a choice of over-sweetened warm canned-fruit juice, coffee/tea, toast/goan bread with terrible jam, and around 10 different warm items. You may choose 1 from each of the above and we ate the french toast every day. It seemed the most pallatable. The beans on toast were suicide and the omlette had to much oily residue for comfort. In terms of the facilities most were closed for monsoon, but the pools were kept clean, boating was permitted and was enjoyable, the sun beds were nice although you had to keep asking for them to put covers over the wood. We ended up with a nice tan but you have to be prepared to run inside for 10 minutes until the rain is over. The rain comes quicky and goes quickly - it will never be blue sky but usually cloudy with sunny spells and we got tanned even on cloudy days. The noise level was excessive and we were woken up on 6 consecutive mornings at 6am. The staff are inadequate in customer services and lack authority in dealing with situations like this. The noise was coming from parties of noisy indians using the pool. Never in my life have I ever seen such a comical sight as when I opened my curtains after being woken up each morning. Numerous overweight, hairy, fully grown indian men in speedos - shouting, screaming and slapping each others asses whilst dancing to hindi. The comedy tamed the most of my anger but ultimately It was very annoying. In summary the hotel is GREAT value and offers a comfortable base to explore from. Go with an open mind and dont expect much and you should be pleasantly surprised. Also worth noting- Goa in Monsoon was ace, we got dark, ate drank and shopped. The tailors I recommend are Ravi tailors in Mapusa. They were good but not as good as in Delhi or Pune.

We stayed in this hotel in november 05.We really didnt know what to expect but it was lovely, very clean, great views from our balcony,we only ate there twice as we mostly ate out but the food was great.The service was good and the hotel staff friendly.The taxis into Baga are cheap and frequent.

I visited Goa Christmas 2004 with my parents who have been there several times. All i can say is i cant wait to go back this year when we are going for 3 weeks at Christmas!!! My parents fell in love with Goa a few years ago and have been going ever since. In fact, they loved it so much they have had a house built, not far from the Marinha Dourada which is where we stayed on our last visit which i would like to say i think was the most amazing place. The people are so friendly and treat you like royalty. Nothing is too much trouble. The rooms were very clean, the odd creature here and there but it is Goa!! They were cleaned to a very high standard every day, the food is fantastic, the view is something you have to expereince by being there, breathtaking!! The english bar (Mojo's)was a favourite with me for a few days and the Saturday night market is the ultimate experience!! Its crazy but fantastic and you really know your in Goa when you see the Elephants walk down the road! Again, an amazing experience!! There is so much to do, you really do need 3 weeks to a month to take it all in which i would recommend to anyone.! Sam, Wolverhampton, West Midlands.

This was my first stay at the dourada but the second time for my partner. Our room overlooked the main pool and was pretty basic (could have done with tea making facility) but I have been told the newer section is much nicer. Staff were excellent and so very friendly. We have built a house not far from the hotel which we shall live in permanently at some point this year. So the hotel will be recommended to friends visiting. Really is the ideal location for checking out the surrounding area. Birdwatching is an added bonus as so many in the area. The hotel food is good but if you fancy a change I would highly recommend 'The Starlight' restaurant (turn right out of hotel and right again at t-junction) Excellent Indian food and service at brilliant prices.

This was the perfect hotel location, the views are outstanding and the staff can not do enough to help! Altogether, a very relaxing stay! We plan to return every year!

every thing was too good except the breakfast wich the bees would surround you while eating jelly!! The view of hotel was really intersting a very plesent place to rest with piece of mind.

absolutly nothing to dislike about anything, a very nice, clean hotel.food lovely, beauty parlour got some stick! cant wait to get back to see you all again on april 14 2006.
