Great location, excellent property with something for everyone to do and experience, food variety and enjoyed the hospitality! The mini golf with 9 hole par3 facility is a plus and plenty of other options for the family to engage! The seafood restaurant on the Beach is great!

Room Tip: Time your Breakfast either early or late to avoid the rush and at times chaos-;)

Rooms are very poor standard - only 3 star at best - and not adequate for a supposedly 5 star resort. It seems like the rooms haven't been updated for a long time and the bathrooms are particularly bad.
The communal areas and the grounds are well maintained and the beach is fantastic, which makes the rooms even more disappointing.
Generally the staff provide a good service, are friendly and try their best to help.
Avoid the evening buffet unless you like very hot chilli/spicy food - there is little alternative available in the buffet.
Also, the resort hosts a lot of weddings and conferences, so expect noise and disturbance at any time (day or night) when there is an event happening.

It is a lovely resort on a beautiful beach in south Goa with a nice golf course well-equipped rooms and good staff however some points do bring it down in my opinion, for example, the resort advertisers that it has so many activities online, however, it is near on impossible to find out any information about said activities as there is no visible activities desk and every activity incurs an extra cost including bingo charged at a silly 50 rupees moreover while the staff are good at their jobs I would for the most part not go as far as to say they are particularly friendly furthermore when we arrived at around one o'clock in the morning our room was still not ready even though we had paid for that previous night to ensure that this wouldn't happen and before we were allowed to check in we were made to make the mandatory payment for the Christmas and New Year's Eve parties before check-in could be completed which is utterly unacceptable as we arrived around a week before Christmas and there would have been ample time to pay before the events took place. It is a lovely resort with good overall service and food in the resort but with the option of good independent beach shacks on the beach to the right of the resort where four people can eat and drink comfortably for around £40. Still, however, the resort isn't within walking distance of shops or amenities.

Room tip: We had a very busy breakfast, and we made use of the beach shacks to the right or left of the resort for lunch or dinner.

The Caravela beach resort is a beautiful property on a fabulous beach Varca which is need for major needed renovation and updates of rooms. We were there for 4 nights - a family reunion - we had 4 ocean facing rooms -supposedly their premium rooms. The decor was from the 80s! The room had a musty smell and the corridors at times. The bathrooms need a complete overhaul. Old fittings, bathtubs that are not easily accessible, rusty plumbing… very disappointing.

The pool area should have an adult only section (3-4 feet). There were screaming children splashing water on every shallow area. The pool went from 3 feet to 5 feet 9 in one section that is very dangerous.

The check-in was very slow and unwelcoming. We had to ask for a welcome drink as no one approached us but saw some other guests get it. Even though everything was pre-paid, check in was slow. Room keys never seemed to work- we constantly needed to change them.
Pros- great breakfast with a wonderful spread of assorted Indian and western. Awesome puris, paratha, dosa etc
Good food at the beach hut
Kind and helpful staff.
Overall not a good value for the price that was charged.

Room tip: Garden rooms are better value for money and slightly more updated
