Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
We had a great time at this resort, our first resort experience in Varca, South Goa, after staying in Patnem, Palolem & Agonda previously. We stayed in one of the cottages in front of the swimming pool, and the room & bathroom were spacious with cool interior designs, making it feel distinct from a regular hotel.
During Christmas, they hosted a cool party. The restaurant offered yummy food, though it was a bit pricey. Our stay included breakfast, providing a variety of Indian, Continental, and British food items. There's a nice garden in front of the restaurant, perfect for walks and taking nice pictures. The beach is just a short walk away. The kids' play area is small, but having something is better than nothing.
If you come across a good deal compared to other resorts in the area, it's worth checking out.

An excellent location, the Cabana rooms are well appointed and built very close to the beach area and they have an amazing space for recreation by the beach which has an ‘aura’ of fun around it !! The gardens are sprawling and well cared for !! We loved the food and the wonderful managers and staff. The response from them was par excellence. Looking forward to being there ASAP! A place to be enjoyed by all ages !! The facilities are ample and everything functionally designed ! Don’t have all the pics to upload right now

This is in that perfect range of resorts which doesn't charge like 5 stars, have all facilities and right on the beach. The beach is the highlight of this resort. We spent mornings and evenings at the beach... Ended up spotting many crabs, shell fish and even a star fish. The rooms/cottages were vey cozy,huge and they converted the sofa into a cute bed for my almost 7 yr old son, who enjoyed his sleep there. The food was good and easy on the stomach, though variety was limited. The restaurant is open so even at night you can hear the waves while have dinner here. It's a bit secluded from most shacks or restaurants around so either renting a scooty or car would make sense over here. We were 5 of us including my in laws and they made sure they felt very comfortable through the stay. My MIL can't walk long distances so they assisted her with a wheelchair which made it very easy for them to move around. Though there was a wedding that was to be held and preparations were ongoing with multiple guests checking in, they attended to us and assisted us with all our requirements whenever we wanted. Very courteous staff, polite and prompt. Overall would love to come back here and recommend it to my friends. If you want a peaceful resort in south Goa away from all noise ..this is a great place to stay!

My stay at Varca Le Palms was a disappointing to say the least. I've traveled extensively in Goa, and this hotel easily ranks as the worst. Despite claims of being a 3-star establishment, it barely scrapes by with a single star – and that's being generous. The only positive? Its proximity to the beach – beyond that, it's a disaster.
From the moment we entered our room, we were hit with a foul stench. Despite reporting it to housekeeping, their solution was to spray air freshener and hope for the best. When we identified the offending sofa mattress and asked them to remove it – a temporary fix, as they claimed to be out of replacements. They couldn't provide a replacement for my entire stay of 4 days.
Housekeeping was a joke. Instead of daily cleanings, we had to call and request them few times just to get our room serviced. And don't even get me started on the restaurant service – endless waits for food, excuses about staff shortages, and subpar quality when it finally arrived.
On our last day, they even disabled the settop box, resorting to YouTube as a makeshift solution. And don't even bother with the Wi-Fi – it might as well not exist.
To add insult to injury, they had switched our room type from Cabana to Studio without informing us (realised this during checkout) , claiming it was an "upgrade." Spoiler alert: it wasn't. The studio rooms are located a trek away from the beach and restaurant, far from convenient.
And let's not forget the bicycles they claim to offer – all conveniently "out for service" at the same time for 4 days. Really?
In short, Varca Le Palms is a nightmare dressed up as a hotel. Save yourself the headache and steer clear – Goa has far better options to offer.

Stayed here for around four months and it was a lovely stay. We were here on a work assignment but staying at this property with the easy access to the clean and lovely beach made it better! The rooms are big and spacious and we had the pool side rooms which ensured easy access to the pool and good views.The housekeeping staff ensure regular cleaning of the rooms and the property. There is a lot of greenery in the property and the little garden outside each of the rooms gives it a nicer touch. The restaurant overlooks the beach from a little distance and serves varied cuisines. The staff was very helpful and friendly and special mention to Chandan who looked after all our requirements related to dining and room service amongst other things. Would recommend this property for South Goa for sure!

Lovely resort. Enjoyed our stay immensely. The staff were very courteous and obliging. The chef was excellent turned out a mouth watering array of delicious cuisine. The pool was well maintained and the rooms were very comfortable, clean and spacious. The beach bar was a real draw for our group of friends and the beach was very clean and not crowded. Staying here was like being in a home away from home. A must visit.

The best part is the solitude calmness and peacefulness this resort provides. The resort on beach gives these feelings since there is no shack around and no loud music around. It’s great place to connect to one self and nature. Love every bit of it. The staff are polite, the food is good , the rooms are clean and comfortable.

Nice hotel and supporting staff. Practically the location is so well placed that you feel like you own part of the beach. Have some good time at the beach.
The lifeguard at the beach is both supportive and non intrusive.
Food is also served at the beach if you request for it.
