The resort is located in the village of Benaulim, Salcete, South Goa – at “Vaswaddo / Tambdi Mati Waddo, Benaulim-403716”. It’s described as being just an 8-minute walk from the sands of Benaulim Beach.
-
The surrounding is fairly tranquil with lush gardens, palm trees and green lawns. Earlier guest reviews mention “…lots of trees … well-ventilated and surrounded by greenery.”
-
Because it’s a little off the immediate beachfront (walk to beach rather than resort right on sand) it offers a quieter alternative to the more crowded beach-front hotels.

Tips for Your Stay
-
Room selection: Ask for a garden-view or pool-facing room if you want better views and quieter vantage.
-
Check the room condition: If possible, inspect the bathroom and door-locks when you check-in; if any issue, request alternate room early.
-
Beach visit: Plan to walk down to Benaulim Beach perhaps in morning or late afternoon when it’s less crowded and more pleasant.
-
Dining off-site: While in-house dining is fine, explore nearby local Goan restaurants in Benaulim for variety and local flavour.
-
Transport: If you have a car/scooter, parking is available; for exploring further (e.g., day trips in South Goa) consider hiring a vehicle or cab.
-
WiFi/family needs: If you’ll rely heavily on WiFi (for work or streaming) check the connectivity in the room; sometimes common-area WiFi is better.
-
Booking timing: Off-season or shoulder months will likely yield better rates; South Goa tends to be calmer outside peak December/Jan.
