Sol Fiesta by Himalaya

dirty linens, they offered dingy room to us. Hotel manager was pathetic. Very bad parking lot, rats also all around.

Property was neat and clean, beautifully presented. I stayed there for 4 nights. Walk in distance from beach.

The location of the property is not exactly near the beach, but is just 5-7 mins walk. Service was good, the dining experience was a little slow. Overall good for those who want to roam around throughout the day and rest back in the hotel room.

They claim the location of resort by walk distance to beach. But thats not a actual path to beach. Its almost a 1 km from the resort. Also the bed is too small in the room that cannot adjust two people. Staff is good but they are not supportive.

Me and my wife ended up finding sol fiesta during a frantic last minute search, as the hotel we had originally booked for us turned out to be a dirty nightmare. By some stroke of luck we found sol fiesta just a few hundred metres away from where we were, and at a very reasonable budget. Booked without thinking twice. And thankfully our decision turned out perfectly because this property is really nice and well maintained. The room was airy and spacious, we got a nice private balcony overlooking a quiet lush compound. Room service was prompt and excellent. Outside they have this really nice pool that we spent quite some time in. The pool too is very well kept. Just a couple of drawbacks: even though the property is physically very close to mandrem beach, there is no direct access road, so you need to walk a fair bit to the main road and then take the access bridge to the beach. It might not be a big deal if you have a car or a rented scooty, which we didn't. This was not a deal breaker for us at all. Mandrem and arambol beaches are quite peaceful compared to the overcrowded main beaches of goa (especially considering the long independence day weekend. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at sol fiesta.

It was a last minute booking in goa for us. The staff were very helpful and the chef cooked some of his signature dishes. Alcohol and grocery stores are available at a stones throw distance and the beach is at just a 5 min walk. Must stay place in mandrem
