I stayed for 3 nights and stayed in an air conditioned place with the full monte...What a treat! Marble floors, concrete building, lovely shower and bathroom, beautiful four poster bed with fitted nets and a great living space inside and out..  The little touches like the bookcase in the room, bed lamps, a fan under the 4 poster to keep...

We stayed here for a week at the end of the season, and had a really positive, restful experience. The beach huts are well equipped and furnished (including free wifi), and the location on Patnem beach is excellent. The staff are a lovely bunch and the food and drinks in the beachside restaurant are great, and well-priced. Some reviews complain... More

We visited Patnem in November for 5 days and fell in love with this place. It has a great location, the set up is very inviting during the Goa afternoon heat since its so nicely covered with palm leaves which keeps the place cool. The go an traditional food is to die for. Really authentic and niceky made. Stanley, Dhiraj... More

We stayed for 5 days last month and had a nice time at Papayas. The initial email communications were good, they responded quickly and answered any extra questions I had including sending additional photos which was very reassuring. The hut's location on fantastic Patnem beach was great although the situation of the huts was amongst trees in the garden so... More

Papayas is the best beachside location we have stayed. The huts are well appointed with a comfy bed, good mosquito netting, enough storage, a decent shower with hot water and wifi. The huts are set in a shady attractive garden and there is enough space between the hits so you don’t hear your neighbours. The food is very good and... More

From home, before our journey to India, we booked for a five-day stay in Papayas. We did it because of the good reviews on tripadvisor. However, we just stayed there for one evening. The main problem particularly for me was the very hard mattress (which made me feel like I was sleeping on a plank of wood). The day after,... More

We stayed in one of the larger huts and loved it. You get what you expect in a beach hut, so don't expect a full hotel experience. Here you will get a relaxed, chilled out atmosphere, good staff and a fantastic beach. The food in all the bars/huts on this beach is great and the prices very cheap. Couldn't fault... More

We spent 10 days here in Feb 2012...fabulous staff that bent over backwards to make sure all was good...right on the beach...great food...fabulous accomodation (we stayed in the 2 bedroomed air-conditioned cottage as we are a family of 5)..a friendly and lovely atmosphere. Really highly recommend.

I stayed together with 6 friends at Papayas. It was great! Right at the beach, very nice accomodation, good food and friendly staff. Best place to relax, much better than Palolem Beach which is 15-20min walking distance away.
