    “our stay at W hotel was exceptional, specially because of the service, from the time we entered to the time we exited, the hospitality people are always available, me and my brother celebrated our birthdays on 18 August, 2026 together, and we were surprised by the arrangements done at the hotel, rooms were spacious, food was excellent and also the kids room (wee kids) was brilliant with our kids enjoying their time there, shreya from the service team was very helpful and so were many others, i think one lady Lima / leema was also very nice at the kids room, overall a great experience, well done team W, we shall come back soon”

  • Beautiful Property & Standout Staff, But Management Lacks Guest Warmth

    6/10

    “W Goa is a fantastic property in a prime location—nestled right near Vagator with beautiful surroundings, lively energy, and easy access to the coast. The rooms are excellent: stylish, spacious, comfortable, and well-maintained with top-tier luxury amenities. What truly elevates the stay is the frontline hospitality team: Chef Nikhil: One of the best personalities on site—exceptional culinary skill and genuine warmth. Ms. Paritha Kundu: The most energetic person on the team, bringing unmatched enthusiasm and wonderful hospitality. Rohan: Attentive, friendly, and went out of his way to ensure we felt well taken care of. Ms. Reshma Gurung: Wonderfully hospitable, kind, and extremely helpful throughout our stay. Unfortunately, our impression of executive management was a sharp contrast. General Manager came across as cold and unapproachable, walking past us several times without a simple greeting or acknowledgment. To make matters worse, we were forced to witness Mr. Nishal openly yelling at staff members right in front of guests—a deeply uncomfortable moment that ruined the relaxed luxury atmosphere. During our stay, a representative from Marriott corporate/management was visiting, and all leadership effort seemed directed toward catering to him rather than paying guests. Which is quite not acceptable from these professionals. To highlight the difference in culture: we later visited the JW Marriott Goa nearby. General Manager Mr. Himanshu was incredible—welcoming, approachable, and truly dedicated to making guests feel valued.”

    “The property has amazing views and location is great.. rooms were neat and well equipped. Breakfast was nice too but the reason for giving the property a five star is the star cordinator we got. Ms. Lima desouza..what an incredible lady !she made our trip memorable. She was there from strt to finish she not only facilitated our needs but she took care of my son like her own.. for many hours I dint even know what was he upto but everytime he returned with lima with a cheerful smile and a gift in his hands. I would return to the hotel specially for her! Further the staff was really amicable everywhere...I strongly recommend the property...”

    “Average food, room.service pathetic and super delayed, Mini bar broken, Bins broken. Not a Mariott standard. Was expecting more. Have stayed 1 Night at Westin ( Mariott property) and 2 nights at W ( Paid Double the amount for a night) . Would definitely recommend Westin wigh high standards and less cost in comparison.. W was Hopeless as per the Value for Money. Highly disappointed”
