This place is located, in quite a nice spot, along the river near Baja Beach. It is around a 15 minute walk from the beach. It has two restaurants (which are ok) and some live music in the evenings over the busy period (including some good sitar music). All of this is inoffensive. However, as I checked into the drab... more

What a great little hotel and its only a 2 star. well worth the money. Okay, everyone else has said it, friendly staff, great grounds etc. Breakfast is basic but the poached eggs or omelette ordered fresh are more than adequate.

The rooms with a lake view are the ones to have..beautiful views over the lake/mountains. The grounds at the hotel are maintained... more

We've been to India twice before, but this was our first time in Goa. We selected the Marinha on the basis of good reports on T/A, and we weren't disappointed. This hotel exceeded all our expectations. I know that Goa is more geared up to European tastes and standards than are most other parts of India, nevertheless we were pleasantly... more
