“Breath takingly beautiful!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 April 2011

To get to Dwarka you have to drive along an unsurfaced road and then walk down into a jungle valley. As a result, you really do feel cut off from the hectic, touristy buzz you expect when you're in Goa. The valley, sweet water lagoon and beach were stunningly beautiful and the atmosphere at the camp was both relaxed and welcoming at the same time as being refreshingly low key and subtle. The huts themselves were very clean and airy and we thoroughly enjoyed being perched among the tress listening to all the wildlife. Some people may not like the limited avaiabilty of electricity, however I felt this added to the charm and tranquility of the camp and its environmentally conscious ethos.

The staff were very helpful throughout our stay and were interesting to talk to, making us feel thoroughly welcome and providing delicious food at the same time as giving us space to enjoy the peaceful location. In short, this was my favourite experience during a wonderful stay in Goa and I would really recommend it to anyone who wants a bit of relaxation out of the ordinary in Goa.

Room Tip: Electricity provided between sunset and 2.30 am.

“Paradise beach”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 March 2011

The best about this place is its loction. Just simply in Paradise. The staff is also great very friendly and the huts are nice although simple. Food is excellent. And the mobile phone connection is dreadful! What a lovely spot to disconnect!! Welcome to paradise!
One minus. For me the beds were just too hard.

“Quietest place in India, perfect place to wind down”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 March 2011

person found this review helpful

When we arrived after a long drive, I felt like I was in a tropical paradise that is unexpected in the chaos of India. The huts are a perfect place to stay for people who want to relax, read a book, and just leave mobile and internet access and stress behind. The beach is particularly amazing because there is no access to the street so you have no one harassing you to buy their trinkets. It's exactly what I was looking for. I did yoga every morning with Subash on the beach and loved it. I have to disagree with the comment below about the "servants" running the place. The staff really could not have been any nicer and more helpful.They even played chess with us. It would be nice if Dwarka had a book in the room or on their site that explained things like electricity, hot water, cost for pick up from airport, etc - but honestly, It's not the Intercontinental and if you are that type of traveler then maybe this isn't for you. One thing their website does not tell you is where they are and how far from the airport they are really far south on Kola beach. The closest major beach towns are Agonda and Palolem. Dwarka is on Kola/Honeymoon beach. And the drive to the actual resort is on a dirt road - so be prepared because it's easy to think you are being kidnapped when you don't know where you're going down that road.
And yes, last but not least - the place next door is cheaper and looks similar, but a friend of mine who stayed at both places describes "it's raunchy and the crowd is annoying".

“absolutely heavenly”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 March 2011

Dwarka is a wonderful setting. Clean , neat and friendly staff. The massage was exceptionally good.Food was always tasty. I did read an earlier coment fo one Mr. Singh where in he mentioned the staff working as servents. It is sad that in this day and age, people still look at life through such a such myopic medival ways. All I can say that Clement and his pretty wife have created one of the most wonderful spots in Goa. I was there with my wife and two young childreen and we did not want to go back.
Keep it up and all the best.

“Talk About Relaxing and Beautiful Scenery!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 March 2011

I thought we would never get there but when we did..wow, absolutely beautiful, peaceful, tranquil, and very basic and rustic adorable huts, with hammocks out front, set on a lagoon, with ocean views!! Nice place to come to chill and relax..food was alright, but most amazing was the atmosphere, really enjoyed our 1night stay and highly recommend for a different experience in Goa!! Just gorgeous!!
