Marbella Guest House

Amazing decorations and food. Friendly staff. Beds abit hard for me but beautiful building.

We’ve had the most wonderful stay at Marbella House. We stayed here for three nights, we were looked after by Sajjan and the staff exceptionally and made to feel that we were right at home in their most delightful house. The food was sublime. We felt so lucky to have a whole restaurant to ourselves whenever we wanted meals and drink, snacks and masala chai! As a family, we agreed that our most delicious meal we experienced during our two week trip in India, was our last evening here at Marbella House. We took a special liking to and highly recommend the prawn curry! Aside from the beauty of the house which was so comfortable to stay in, the highlight was the people who looked after us. Sajjan welcomed us, hosted us and continuously made sure that we were having a lovely time. He gave us recommendations of restaurants to visit, experiences to try and joined us on our expedition to a local bingo night - his recommendation - which was such a laugh! One person we all want to massively thank is Moti. He is a lovely *** who looked after us with such kindness and care, always ready to tend to our needs. He always served us with a smile on his face and a sense that it was his pleasure to be of service. Just a small example, when we asked Moti for a good place to see the sunset, instead of giving us directions he instead chose to lead us up a hill to see the gorgeous view, then walked us down after. We do have to apologise for the massive number of lime sodas we ordered from you Moti (but they were so good!). All of the staff who cooked and looked after us, thank you! Thank you Ashok, Pascol, Nandhu, Sunita, Tunija, Karan and those whom we shamefully did not get the names of. You’re all so kind and thoughtful in your work. The ladies of the family also enjoyed amazing and relaxing massages from a real master of the craft, Tunija! We so recommend staying at Marbella house if you find yourself on holiday in Goa. We only stayed for four days, though it seems most guests stay here for weeks on end, and we can see why…

This hotel is a haven of tranquillity in the hustle and bustle of candolim and calangute. We were upgraded to the raj suite which was stunning and staff were so friendly it felt like a home from home. We also ate at the hotel twice in the evening as it was excellent quality.

Exceptional! A retreat to indulge yourself into a calm, homely atmosphere with class and style. Every room is fuenished adequately to the sense of this historic villa. Surrounded by nature with peacocks in the backyard, old mango & jackfruit trees, the charming & cordial team of Sajjan, Moti, Ashuk & Nundu will do their best to treat you just like being home without being home. I trjly loved my stay of ten days there & give it 5*s! If you are looking for a quiet, charming place with a style that is one of a kind & not looking for something super fancy, but still with all the amenities one needs, then this is your place.

The initial takeaway when arriving here is how friendly all the staff are. They will go out of their way to to help you wherever they can. Our room had a private veranda with fridge and was very comfortable to sit out in due to lots of shade. When the temperatures approached 40c it was still fine to use. The bathroom is traditionally styled with a sunken oval bath with shower. Good temperature and water pressure. The bed came with mosquito nets which were invaluable. There is a TV in the room however we never used this so can't comment further. The property owner does have a lot of dogs which usually keep their distance. If you decide to walk to the cliffs though they will likely join you for some exercise. We did this early morning and had a pack of 7 for company which was nice ! We had a variety of food from the menu from a simple late night toastie through to local curries and seafood. All the food is prepared from scratch by the kitchen staff and this is demonstrated by the excellent quality. I recommended the prawns at the previous accommodation and this place also knows how to cook seafood. We had Tiger Prawn and Calamari fried up with nothing more than butter and (lots of) fresh garlic. Simply delicious and I highly recommend. Overall you won't be disappointed with this accomodation.

From the beginning to the end we couldn’t of been more welcomed and looked after. Sajjan and all of the staff were so attentive and accommodating. We stayed in the Rajani suite which was amazing( see photos). It was so spacious, clean and decorated in a tasteful way. The guests house has a very relaxing atmosphere away from the busy places. It a 10 min walk to beach were there are many bars and restaurants with sun beds. There’s a breakfast menu with lots to choose from with many hot drink opinions.

My reservation was cancelled by hotel, and still waiting for refund from you. Terrible experience using your services for hotel booking.

This place is amazing in every aspect! The atmosphere is very peaceful, staff is super friendly, food is delicious and the room very clean. I would say Marbella Guest House is definitly one of the best places to stay in Goa. I hope to come back one day!

Goa has many fabulous beaches and resorts. Sinquerim is possibly just a sleepy, pretty beach, but if you want to utterly indulge in a unique and ultra charming property, it would be hard to go past Marbella. Not the 5 star plush resort, it oozes character that breaks down any formality and the staff couldn’t be more helpful whilst you soak up the opulent heritage environment. Sajjan makes you welcome and Moti et al. spoil you… From the extra fan, to discussions with the kitchen (overseen by maestro Pasquale) about whatever meal you’d like prepared fresh for the evening to a mid afternoon refresher, nothing is too much. It’s peacefully away from the madness, but only a 10 minute wobble to the beach. And, being a review, it’s great value, too. Thanks all at Marbella, hope to be back…
