My girlfriend and I recently travelled to Goa, and having read all reviews on tripadvisor we reached with mixed feelings. Most of them were good, though comments like "looking faded" makes you hesitate slightly!
However we last minute decided to go for it and considering all options in the same area, we believe we couldn't opted for anything better.
To get started, Jolan helped us out greatly with making our reservations. As both of us work in India our schedule was very flexible and we where unable to make any required down payments...A good reason to cancel the reservation in high season! However they did not and upon arrival we could easily pay and our room was ready immediately. A great start to say, as well as a great rate we got! 3500 per night in deluxe cottage in high season is a great deal considering all other pricy resorts with worse service, location and style!
The whole appearance of the resort is fabulous. The rooms are neatly kept and extremely well maintained. Suppose some of the reviews were written during or just after monsoon, a time in which we know it is impossible to maintain your place neat and clean. The housekeeping did a great job cleaning our rooms every day without even asking for it once. We stayed in a deluxe cottage and we found this well worth the little extra money paid. The deluxe rooms are set around the nice pool, though time to time this could be noisy. Obviously, all depending on what you are looking for.
All around Vagator, as well as the nearby beaches of Anjuna, Baga and Calangute there are trillion of options. If you like to stay close to all the action yet far enough from all the noise, leoney's resort is a great option. Less than a 5 minute walk to Little Vagator Beach and close to many great restaurants, you have everything at your doorstep. For INR 300 you can get a taxi bringing you to the hussle and bussle of Baga and Calangute (10 minute drive)!
All in all we had a great vacation with efficient service, friendly staff and great accomodation. We had a complimentary breakfast provided. Don't expect much out of that, but hey, it's complimentary, for a few Rupees more you can extend your choice and selection.
We would definitely come back to this resort. Vagator Beach is definitely one of the prettiest in the area considering the crowded and polluted beaches of Anjuna and Calangute. Don't waste your money staying there, but rather stay at Leoney's! You would not be dissapointed!
