I always wanted to find a chilled out part of Goa but I thought I might have missed my chance as I had heard North Goa had been swallowed up by trance music and commercialism. Yab Yum was exactly what I was looking for - an oasis of calm and tranquility. My wife and I stayed in the 'Honey Pod'... more

Just returned from Yab Yum, what a great place. Chose this quieter part of Goa as my daughter spends the season there singing. She was actually in the village next door, hence our choice. It's not cheap but it's lovely. We had one of the few cottages, it had 2 showers and was very clean, a lovely terrace to relax... more

There is no doubt that Yab Yum is a very cool place on a very nice beach. The minute you walk into the resort you feel the calmness and peace that surrounds the place. Cute hut-pods, lanterns, private breakfast tables, hammocks and swaying palms all add to this atmosphere. The huts are very cool but at the end of the... more

We stayed for 4 nights at Yab Yum at the end of our trip around South India for a bit of luxury. Over 4 times the price of your average beach hut but also much more sophisticated. The resort is private and exceptionally well designed, serene and beautiful, the accommodation well spaced for privacy. Service is very efficient and european... more

We stayed here for six nights from the 28th December 2008. The hotel is located in a very quiet location comparied to Calangute and similar beaches in Goa . The pods are unqiue and they do tend to amplify the sound of the sea, but even though I am a light sleeper I got used to that. Breakfast is served... more

I had really high expectations of Yab Yum and was not disappointed. As soon as you walk through the gate you know you're staying somewhere pretty special. The pods themselves are great! Quirky, fun, huge, with loads of nice touches. Great beds, torches, incense. hammocks, private sun-loungers etc etc. I loved it. We had the Honey Pod, which was the... more

...although the staff were very friendly and the beach location is wonderful, regrettably we had a less than relaxing time here. We stayed here for five nights (way too long) in the Honeypod which is the closest pod to the beach. I guess as its just a bamboo type construction there is no insulation and this meant that the rush... more

My sister and I dipped down into Goa for a much needed break during our recent trip to India. The cottages and pods are comfortable, the staff welcoming (without being pushy) and the property is well-maintained. We had a beautiful time and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet retreat for a few days. more

Yab Yum resort is a gem. The pods are great - very spacious, and we recommend the HoneyPod which is closest to the beach. Gives you a great view of the dolphins which we saw playing some 50m off the shore. The bungalows are also nice, although they do get hotter than the pods. Service excellent and very unintrusive -... more
