We stayed at the Marriott Hotel in April 2006 for a three day holiday. The hotel was excellent and reasonably priced. Excellent service in all aspects. We all enjoyed our time at the hotel.
The negative for the hotel is that it is away from the popular beaches and does not have a beach of its own. Where it is built no swimming in the sea is permitted. To compensate they have an excellent swimming pool and other facilities.
The hotel is at the edge of the city which means we get good beach restaurants within walking distance. Getting a taxi did prove a problem and we had to hire a car from outside to save the cost of hotel cars which is high.
The people in Goa are honest. My daughter left her purse with considerable money in the hotel and got it back and refused to take any reward.
Wherever we went in Goa we did not get the feeling that you have to bargain or that people were trying to cheat you. That to me is unique in India for a tourist destination.
