This hotel is ill-maintained with inexperienced staff. Surely this was not designed as hotel rooms but something else. Door locks and latches were in bad shape. Was shocked to see a new food menu on second day, with rates upto 50% higher. The bed sheet and towels were not so clean, even though rooms were bigger. The pool and its... More

Helena, Lloyd, Lucinda and the staff doing everything to make the stay more than worthfull. Of Course it is not a 5 Star... More

I was traveling to Goa for the first time and with wife and child, it was really important that I choose the right place to stay. Unfortunately, at first, I was suggested by my taxi driver to some hotel in Calangute, something called "Hotel Sahil Residency" and it was a nightmare. Dirty, stinky room with very unhygienic kitchen. And most... More

We had a supreme experience staying in Dona Julia. It was quite near to the Calangute beach and had a serene surrounding. The best part of the resort was the well maintained swimming. It was perfect for relief in a lazy after. Enjoyed staying in the pool. The rooms were clean too with geysor facility and nice air conditioning. Lack... More

This place is a cosy shelter 5 minutes away from the sandy beach of Calangute. Houses basic clean rooms - all you need when you're holidaying in Goa is a bed to sleep in, so Dona Julia makes us more than happy. Breakfast can be ordered in, but the service is a bit slow. During the season, there are many... More

Review Dona Julia Trip Advisory - Found this place by accident and we're so happy since the LP guide did not have it listed. Dona Julia is a lovely hotel, on a terrific street just a block from South Calangute Beach. The owner, Helena and all the staff are amazingly hospitable. We booked online through their website and the son,... More

We had very bad experience at Dona Julia. There is no security for guests, anyone can enter and threaten guests, supervisor and other assistants stand like dumb-headed people. Supervisor(a lady) suggested us to hire a jeepsi from a person named as santosh and then we were threatened to pay Rs 3000 for 14 hrs. The person misbehaved with all women... More
