Alila Diwa Goa

Wonderful property in a quiet location. The Diwa Club is a resort within a resort - quiet and exclusive with its own pool and bistro. The service and amenities are top notch. Staff is well trained, courteous and cheerful and will accommodate your requests within reason. The rooms are luxurious with a stand alone attached bathtub. The balcony overlooking the pool is amazing as well. The bistro staff are very nice. The buffet at vivo has a wide spread. The coastal cuisine in spice studio is truly delectable. The kids and teen play area is a fun place. Amazing place to spend a quiet, relaxing few days.

The ambiance, location, huge swimming pool, spacious room and cleanliness were absolutely fantastic. It’s peaceful, beautifully designed, and feels like a hidden little paradise. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, perfect for a quiet day of unwinding. You can easily lose track of time there. The staff was truly dedicated for the exceptional service and hospitality. From the moment we arrived, they ensured a seamless check-in, making us feel instantly welcomed. It was a packaging machine manufacturer event of IPMMI. The hotel staff explained all the hotel amenities carefully, and made sure that we were well-informed and comfortable throughout our stay. A special shoutout to the restaurant manager, who went above and beyond to ensure we had a delightful experience. The meals were combination of local and international cuisine. The restaurant manager's attention and willingness to go the extra mile made a lasting impression. The entire team was incredible. The warmth, friendliness, and professionalism of the staff made this a memorable experience for us.

Great Hotel Alila Diwa Goa is widely praised as a fantastic hotel, often described as a luxurious and serene retreat. Guests highlight its beautiful setting amidst lush paddy fields, just a short distance from Gonsua Beach in South Goa. The contemporary Goan architecture, spacious rooms with private balconies, and amenities like the infinity pool overlooking the fields contribute to its reputation as a “great hotel.” Reviewers on platforms like Tripadvisor and Booking.com frequently rate it highly (around 4.5–5 out of 5 and 8.8–9 out of 10), calling it “the most beautiful hotel” they’ve stayed in or an “exceptional property.” The peaceful ambiance, away from the party scene of North Goa, makes it a standout choice for relaxation. Great People The staff at Alila Diwa Goa consistently receive glowing praise, often referred to as “great people” who elevate the guest experience. Guests mention specific team members by name—such as Aditi, Velecia, Bhavesh, and Saundarya—for their warmth, friendliness, and genuine care. Reviews emphasize the staff’s polite, cooperative, and attentive nature, with comments like “all smiles around” and “they made us feel special.” Whether it’s arranging birthday surprises like cakes or assisting with travel plans, the people here are described as welcoming and delightful, adding a personal touch to the stay. Great Service Service is a major highlight, with many calling it “exceptional,” “top-notch,” or “outstanding.” Guests appreciate the staff’s responsiveness and willingness to go above and beyond, from seamless check-ins to personalized attention throughout the stay. The hotel offers thoughtful touches like free shuttle service to the beach, daily activity updates from hosts, and quick resolution of any issues. For example, one guest noted how the team moved them to a more modern room after a minor complaint, while another praised the concierge for curating local experiences like bread-making with a village baker. The consensus is that the service is impeccable and a key reason guests want to return. Spectacular Food The food at Alila Diwa Goa earns high marks, often described as “tasty,” “delicious,” and occasionally “spectacular.” With multiple dining options—Vivo (all-day diner), Spice Studio (coastal Indian cuisine), The Edge (poolside bar), and Courtyard Bar—guests enjoy a variety of flavors. The breakfast buffet is a standout, offering a wide spread with made-to-order eggs, dosas, and waffles, frequently called “amazing” or “exceptional.” Spice Studio gets special mentions for its rich, authentic southwest coastal dishes, while Vivo’s international and regional offerings satisfy diverse palates. Some reviews note that while the food is generally excellent, it may not always reach “spectacular” for everyone, with occasional critiques of specific items (e.g., bland South Indian options), but the overall dining experience is highly regarded.

Situated in quite lanes but in between private houses. Not a beachfront prop, however provides regular shuttles for the beach. Amazing infinity pool and the best food in all the restaurants. Special mention to Spice studio and Chef Arun for a meal you cannot stop eating! All the staff are very helpful and put all efforts to make your stay special. Only downside is quite a few 'not working' things in the room.

Rooms are spacious and clean, and the staff is super warm and attentive. Food options are great—especially breakfast! Loved the serene atmosphere. Perfect for a relaxing getaway.
