We have just spent a wonderful two weeks at O Pescador. Thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and didn’t want to come home. We went with Tui and stayed in a Bayview room. The view was amazing. The pool area was mostly very quiet, there were a couple of weddings in the hotel next door but the noise didn’t bother us too much. Apparently, they are every day in February so something to bear in mind if you want to avoid. The hotel was in a good spot, the quiet tranquil pool area and almost private Dias beach was perfect, and when you leave the hotel, you are straight in to the hustle and bustle of Dona Paula with the main beach, jetty and restaurants all in a short walking distance. It is also about a ten-minute taxi ride to Panjim, and there is a bus service nearby. There are several good restaurants nearby, but I can honestly say that the best food I had was from the hotel itself. It is very pricy by Indian standards but still a fraction of what we would pay in the UK. So, why only four stars? Well, there were a few ******* that I think could have been sorted easily. My main annoyance was the lack of parasols around the pool – only two. Even more annoying was that when someone new came to the hotel and asked for a parasol the staff would just take one that somebody was already using. Fair enough if you’ve left, but when you are still around the pool area and have to go and stop your parasol being dragged away it’s not good. Just buy some more! There was no storage in the room, we had a small wardrobe with two coat hangers. As a result, the holiday was spent with piles of clothes everywhere. The wardrobe door wouldn’t close, neither would the window. The kettle lid was also broken. None of this ruined the holiday, but again stuff that should be easy to fix. Service was a bit hit and miss, all very nice staff though. If you’re first in at breakfast you will end up having to wait; they don’t seem to be prepared beforehand, and you may find yourself waiting whilst they clean the coffee machine etc. ******* aside, I enjoyed my holiday and can see us returning in the near future.
