Ahilya by the Sea

An absolutely fantastic stay, our room was clean, well appointed and yards from the waves ! The staff are absolutely fabulous, they’re always on hand without being obtrusive, and always a smile. The best part was waking up early, sitting in your own space, sipping chai and watching the fisherman at work. The chef is exceptional, the meals we had were perfect. I totally 100% recommend this hotel, you won’t regret it

Ahilya by the Sea lived up to its name. The gentle waves serenaded us to sleep each night. By morning we watched the fishermen haul in their nets. The setting was idyllic, with outdoor terraces and pools to lounge by. The beds were comfortable. The rooms charming. The food terrific. The staff were incredibly helpful. Our only regret was we were not there longer.

Magical calming and enchanting place. Breathtaking views, lovely staff always pleasant but also giving you privacy when needed. Rooms are delightful Food is superb Had great massage by Sneha Breakfast was yummy. Can’t complain at all! Special place this is!!!

What a fabulous property! We had an excellent welcome and were well looked after by all of the very attentive staff. We stayed in the Suite which was very large and had a great view. The main infinity pool area was lovely with lots of space to relax. There were several lounge areas to read and relax in. Food and drink was excellent, particularly the breakfasts. I would highly recommend a couple of days in this relaxing and historic property.

About 35 years I had started my IT Career with Computer Point in Worli, Bombay, & Sir Richard Holkar used to live on Worli seaface & visited our office often to buy IT equipment. All the engineers who visited him to install the systems came back gushing about his beautiful home :) Decades later, I discover Ahilya & am gobsmacked at the sheer beauty, location, decor, service, staff - everything! 😍 In LOVE with Ahilya! ♥️ Please pass my regards to Sir Richard. I will be back very often. Thinking about the place makes my heart race - cant imagine going to Goa & not staying there. Paul, Manna & Cynthia deserve special mention! I have already promoted this gorgeous place on my Instagram & my videos have tons of people enquiring & wondering at how they did not know about this Gem! Exactly my thoughts too! Staying at the Trindade is an experience. Lying on the bed, it feels that the sea is at your feet - ocean views from all sides, abundance of nature! The location is a KILLER & they are just so lucky to have this place. Being a nature & a monsoon lover, I could not step out of this place. Got fantastic food too. Till we visit again. . With love

Wow !! Right from the person handling reservations to the final escort to our parked car, it was as perfect as a stay can be. The sea splashes directly into the hotel sea-wall and the views were wonderful. So was the room with a small snag - need an option for curtains in the shower. Equal to the views was the service. Warm (but not overbearing as in some 5*) and super-efficient. I would rate it a notch above Oberoi and Evolve back. The breakfast buffet is limited and a small hack for that - add a couple of chargeable items. You may need to inform them beforehand and they are eager to please. What more could I ask for ? This was my first stay at a boutique hotel and loved the experience so much that have taken some recommendations from the manager Smitaji for future stays.
