Located on a hilltop overlooking the stunning Arabian Sea, the fort offers an amazing view that immediately captures your attention. The combination of the deep blue sea, gentle breeze, and wide open landscape makes the visit feel refreshing and relaxing.

The old lighthouse inside the complex adds to the charm and gives the place a unique identity. Even though the structure is centuries old, it still stands strong and showcases Goa’s rich heritage.

We recently visited Fort Aguada, and it’s definitely one of those places that blends history, scenic beauty, and a calm seaside atmosphere all in one spot. The fort itself is over 400 years old, built by the Portuguese, and still stands strong overlooking the Arabian Sea. The view from the ramparts is absolutely stunning, especially around sunset — you can see the vast sea, nearby beaches, and the old lighthouse which adds to the charm. It’s a great spot for photography and quiet reflection away from the usual beach crowds. However, it’s worth knowing that the accessible area is smaller than you might expect, and there isn’t much in terms of exhibits or detailed historical displays — it’s more of an open structure with ruins and walls. Facilities like restrooms or food stalls are limited, so plan accordingly. Still, I really appreciated the peaceful vibe, panoramic views, and the historical aura of the place. It’s best enjoyed early in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the heat and crowds. ⭐ Overall rating: 4/5 ✅ Best for: History lovers, photographers, and anyone who enjoys sea views ⚠️ Tip: Carry water, wear comfortable shoes, and visit around sunset for the best experience

We visited Fort Aguada — As per suggestions I and my wife arrived early (9am) and were the first one to entre the fort which felt like it was all for us. We took this opportunity to quickly click few memorable photos at the spot of our liking without anyone around. This is about 400-year-old Portuguese Fort that beautifully combines history, seaside charm, and scenic views. Overlooking the huge Arabian Sea, it offers stunning panoramas, especially at early morning and at sunset, with its old lighthouse adding to the allure. The Fort’s tranquil vibe and breathtaking views make it worth a visit. Best enjoyed early morning around 9-10am (At opening time) to beat the heat and crowds. Entry fee is ₹25/- Per Adult Person. Toilet are neat, clean and well maintained.

Fort Aguda, 17th C Portugese fort constructed in 1612, on Sinquerim Beach, to guard against the Marathas and the Dutch. A freshwater spring of the fort, provided water to the ships which would stop by. Perhaps this was the reason of its name , since Aguda means Watery. The lighthouse was built in 1612 used to hold 79 cannons in one go. Other than a quiet relevant walk around the almost silent area, we neither could reach any entrances to the dungeon entry, nor any of the secret passages. Perhaps they were indeed 'Very well Hidden'. The feel of this high risen place was rather quiet peaceful. As an after thought I realized, that it could be due to its name, that it felt calm, cool and silent like some passive waters. Extremely Apt.

Fort Aguada is genuinely a delightful stop. I loved the place - the views are expansive, the vibe is calm, and the history adds real character. It’s the kind of spot where you can slow down, walk around, and really take in Goa’s charm.

My recent trip to Fort Aguada was quite enjoyable! The historical architecture is captivating, and the ocean views are absolutely stunning. It's a great spot for photos, and I appreciated the well-maintained grounds. Definitely a place worth visiting!

• Candolim Beach is truly beautiful & serene compared to the more crowded beaches of Goa. • With its golden-white sands & blue-green waters, it’s a perfect spot to relax, unwind & enjoy some fun beach activities. • The beach is clean, peaceful & offers a calm vibe away from the hustle & bustle.

Very very very pretty beach. Loved it. Went at the sunrise time so it was not crowded. Great place to take beachy pictures. But I'll recommend to visit during sunset time to view the sunset. Overall it was a very good morning.

We visited Candolim in November 2025 and we loved most of the visit. Nearly everybody we met there were very friendly and welcoming. The food was the best food that we had ever experienced in our travels. This included the restaurants that were pretty much everywhere including the beach shacks. All except one restaurant gave us wonderful meals and memories. The beach is very soft with golden sand and can sometimes have quite rough waves but mostly it is safe and enjoyable. There are lifeguards along the beach that are very good and they spot most issues before they arise, so that the issues can be avoided. The beach shacks are entertaining and serve very good food and drinks at reasonable prices, the staff are excellent and you will not be left without a drink in your hand for very long. Candolim is a big draw for tourists from all over India as well as foreigners, so there is a huge mix of cultures and people on this beach. A huge downside to the beach is that there are many groups of Indian men on the beach, they usually don’t have any females with them and they are our biggest reason for not returning to Goa. They stroll up and down the beach in their groups and at least one of them will be pretending that he is talking on his mobile phone, when he is actually filming western ladies who are laying on sun-beds outside beach shacks. It’s almost like they don’t realise that they are very visible in what they are doing. This is very disturbing for us and other ladies who experienced the same issues. All in all, Candolim beach is very nice but we will not return until the filming of western ladies on the beach has stopped and some legislation is passed to prevent this happening in the future.

Candolim beach sits right at the heart of North Goa. The beach itself is very clean and you can sit at the sunbeds under an umbrella and enjoy the sea with a drink in your hand. Several shacks are also available that come alive in the evening. It is quieter than Baga beach. So, if you are looking for a peaceful vibe but still want to enjoy the party atmosphere, Candolim beach is the right choice for you. Scooter parking takes 40 INR and there are plenty of shops and restaurants next to the beach where you can enjoy live music.

Nice beach with plenty of recreation activities for visitors. From water sports to walking to dining options, there's something to do for everyone. Only challenge we encountered was with parking, which seems to be a challenge across most of the Goa tourist spots. We ended parking in a restaurant and walking through the dining area to get to the beach ⛱️.

One of the most beautiful, golden sand and clean water beach of North Goa. Very peaceful, and less crowded . A favorite spot of people like me who want to spend good, fun time with family and friends. Relaxing vibes overall. Also you'll get tasty food with live music in beach shacks and restaurants around. The souvenir shops are also good for shopping. Awesome overall !! Will visit again.

It was great. Way better than chennai and it was a good family place where you can visit with your family. The watersports in the candolim are great except some scammers. The parking space is heavy and you can have either your car or bike parked in the paid parking safely.

🚤 Coco Beach: North Goa's Dolphin Spotting and River Cruise Hub! 🌴 RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5 – Excellent for Activity, Not for Swimming) Coco Beach, situated in the Nerul area near Reis Magos, occupies a unique geographical position: it's nestled right at the mouth of the Mandovi River where it meets the Arabian Sea. It is a vital artery for Goan water tourism, serving primarily as the main jetty and departure point for boat trips and dolphin spotting, rather than a traditional sunbathing beach. The Signature Coco Beach Experience The Hub of Adventure: Coco Beach's raison d'être is activity. It is the most popular and organized spot in North Goa to hire a boat for dolphin watching tours (best done early morning) and scenic river cruises that navigate the Mandovi and Chapora estuaries. Unique Scenery: Due to its proximity to the river, the sand here is darker and more silty than the pure golden sands of Calangute or Sinquerim. This isn't the place for swimming or laying out a towel, but it offers a beautiful, unique view across the water to the headlands of Panjim and Dona Paula. The Reis Magos Context: The beach lies directly below the Reis Magos Fort, offering a historical backdrop. The view from the water looking back at the dense, coconut palm groves that line the shore is classic Goan scenery. Vibe and Function The atmosphere is perpetually bustling and commercial, characterized by boat operators, ticket sellers, and travelers getting ready for their excursions. It is highly functional and convenient. It lacks the laid-back lounging feel of the Arabian Sea beaches but buzzes with the excitement of impending adventure. 📸 Pro-Tips for Visitors Go Early for Dolphins: If dolphin spotting is your goal, you must arrive before 9 AM. The boats leave early, and the dolphins are most active in the quiet morning hours. Manage Expectations: Treat Coco Beach as a maritime transit point, not a relaxing beach. If you want pristine sand and calm swimming, head just down the road to Candolim or Sinquerim. Negotiate Prices: While the boat operators are generally regulated, it's wise to confirm the duration and inclusions of your trip before boarding. Photography: The best photo opportunities are from the boat, capturing the lush river banks and the distant views of Panjim and the coastline. Conclusion: Coco Beach is an essential destination for any traveler wanting to get out onto the water in North Goa. While you won't spend the day sunbathing here, it serves as the perfect, convenient gateway to river cruises, dolphin spotting, and exploring the beautiful Mandovi estuary.

This beach is famous for many things. We can see dolphins if we are lucky. Secondly there is a beautiful bungalow of a billionaire nearby. Then there is an old prison, which has been converted into a museum.

Wanna go on a boat ride for about 45 minutes? We can see some cool views of the water, like the Aguada Fort, and maybe even spot some dolphins! It's only 400 bucks per person, which is a way better deal than the boat rides at Baga Beach.

Coco Beach in Goa is a calm and scenic spot located near Nerul. It’s known for its golden sands, gentle waves, and beautiful views of the Mandovi River meeting the sea. Ideal for dolphin-watching boat rides, peaceful walks, and sunsets. The beach is less crowded, offering a relaxed vibe with nearby shacks serving fresh seafood and refreshing drinks.

Only famous for boat rides which will charge you high for 1 hour ride plus wait time, boat owner were drunk. They will show 3 to 4 points from a distance. The beach is quite small and not that clean. It was not in our itinerary but recommended by the cab driver and wasted 2 to 3 hours.

Coco beach is a less commercialized/ developed as compare to others, but it provides you with an opportunity of Dolphin cruise. Boats from this beach take you to the sea to watch dolphins and the experience is exhilarating. On a short boat trip for a hour, charged at INR 350 PP, you can enjoy Central Jail Aguada, Aguada Fort and few other buildings which the boatman will tell enroute. Its nits not very good or bad, definitely OK OK….

Boat rides are available here for 350 rupees per person. These boats will take you to 5 locations in the sea from where you can see Aguada fort , jail , bungalow, , dolphins etc. life jackets are available and the sea is too deep. The boat ride is about 45-50 minutes and is fun.

Reis Magos Fort is a beautifully restored heritage site overlooking the Mandovi River. The red laterite walls, scenic views, and calm atmosphere make it perfect for history lovers and photographers. The art gallery and well-maintained interiors showcase Goa’s colonial past beautifully. It’s less crowded than other forts, which makes the visit even more peaceful and enjoyable. A must-visit if you love history, architecture, and quiet spots with great views.

A good place to visit if you had some spare time in your trip. The fort had small parking area. But you can park nearby also. There is lot of space. Entry is charged at ₹50/person. The fort is large enough to spent 30mins to 1hr. You will get beautiful sea view from beach and can get some nice clicks. It's a renovated place from old structure with little modification. It was functioning as jail till ,early 90s. The entry lane is so beautiful during monsoon time. No big crowd. A church is located in this fort, you can spent few mins there.

One the best places I have visited this year. The views from the top were absolutely breathtaking—every angle looked straight out of a postcard. And the photos? Next-level stuff! Each shot came out so perfect, it felt like the place was made for photography. If you're someone who loves scenic beauty, history, and peaceful vibes, this spot is a must-visit. Truly unforgettable! The cost of the tickets is 50rs and if you are a student its 25rs

Reis Magos Fort is a quiet, old fort by the river in North Goa. It was built by the Portuguese over 450 years ago to protect the area from enemies. It has a lot to offer for the history buffs! The fort sits on a small hill and gives beautiful views of the Mandovi River and Panaji city. It has thick stone walls, cool shaded paths, and a few rooms that now show art and history. You can walk around, enjoy the breeze, and take great photos. It’s peaceful, not crowded, and perfect for a short visit, especially in the morning or late afternoon.

A must see attraction when you are visiting Goa. There is a vehicle but not really required and not worth waiting as climbing is not too much. No food and drinks are available inside so prepare for it carry your water. Keep 2 hours time to explore in a relaxed way.

A hidden gem in Goa Reis Magos Fort offers stunning views of the Mandovi River and Arabian Sea The 400-year-old church inside is beautiful and peaceful The architecture is amazing and well-preserved, with multiple entry and exit points. It’s less crowded, clean, and perfect for history lovers or anyone looking for a calm, scenic spot A must-visit

We visited Dona Paula View Point and had a wonderful experience. The place offers a breathtaking view of the river and the sea merging together — it’s perfect for taking beautiful pictures and enjoying the calm surroundings. One thing to note is that vehicles are not allowed all the way to the viewpoint. You’ll need to walk around 1 km to reach and return, though cabs can drop you closer to the entrance. Overall, it’s a must-visit spot in Goa for its stunning views and peaceful atmosphere. Totally worth the short walk!

Felt it’s hyped. It isn’t worth the walk from Parking to the view point. About 1 km. Parking fare is 80 and entry per adult is 50! It’s just a view point from elevated place. It was crowded and barely had place to sit or take pics. Had clean pay and use toilets! Good move.

• Dona Paula viewing point is a truly beautiful tourist spot. • The sea view is stunning & the entire place is very well maintained. • The top viewing deck is very breezy & offers a beautiful view. • This spot is best to visit during evening, sunset time.

Overhyped viewpoint in my opinion. Goa has amazing random view points, this is definitely not worth what they make you pay. The entry fees worth 50 rupees is a complete waste of money, granted it's a decent view and can be pretty peaceful but when we were here, it was super crowded and we found it so hard to find parking, whatever we found was like 1 KM away. I'd say save your time, save your money, there's absolutely nothing mind-blowing about this place.

The walk towards the actual place is quite long. People over there say it's just 500 metres but it was around 1 km. This walk can be difficult for the elderly. Personal vehicles are not allowed to the place but the tourist cabs are allowed. The actual place is beautiful. View from all the sides is absolutely stunning. On the way to the place there are shops. We could buy some stuff for a reasonable price after bargaining.

Very famous place in Goa. Movie called Ek Duje ke liye and Singham shoot on this place. Govt and private parking available. Rs 80 for 4 hours SUV types car. You need to walk around 1 km from parking place. Rs 50 entry fee charged by Govt. You can enjoy sunset from this point. Saturday and Sunday avoid to visit this place. Local washrooms are available but not clean. Some typical goa shops and restaurants you will find at this place

I enjoyed watching the waves crash against the rocks. The place has a calm vibe, perfect for relaxing and clicking a few beautiful pictures of the sunset. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and a must-visit spot in Goa.

A really nice beach located close to the city. It was a bit crowded, but quite clean overall. Swimming isn’t allowed here, but it’s still a good spot to relax and enjoy the view.

Visited in the evening when it was slightly overcast, shutterbugs will love the sunset. Relatively clean and not really crowded. Good spot for a bit of jogging, frisbee or any kind of exercise really.

It's often overlooked, which is rather convenient given its location. The vibe is fantastic, particularly during the sunset, drawing in mostly well-behaved and local individuals and families who enjoy having picnic gatherings there. However, one thing missing is adequate seating arrangements.

Excellent beach. One of the best in Goa. Goa is a land of beaches. Among the several beaches in Goa, Miramar is unique as it has a very vast shore with pure white sand. The beach is very clean. There are lots of tourists all the time but evenings have big crowds. But there is ample parking facility there. Evening is the best time for you as the shore will get a golden hue. It is a great experience to walk on the sand till early night when the shore at last gets deserted and the shore and the sea become dark.

It is the dirtiest beach of Goa on Panjim peninsula at the delta mouth of Mandovi river. Bathing or entering in sea is not recommended, specially in low tide. However it can be scenic at sunset . Good if you are only at Panjim for short time. Otherwise there are far better beaches in Goa all along north to south coast line. Go to this beach when you have no time for others.

​Miramar Beach, located just 3 km from Panaji, is often called the "Golden Beach" due to its soft, silvery-gold sand. Originally named Porta de Gaspar Dias by the Portuguese, the name Miramar translates to "to look at the sea." This two-kilometer stretch is famous as the confluence point where the Mandovi River merges with the Arabian Sea, offering a tranquil urban escape. ​The beach provides scenic views that distinguish it from other Goan shores, most notably a clear vista of the historic Fort Aguada standing across the river. It serves as an ideal spot for peaceful morning strolls, leisurely family picnics, and, during the winter season (October to March), for birdwatching as migratory birds like gulls and plovers arrive. ​While primarily known for its relaxed atmosphere, visitors can enjoy activities like jet skiing, parasailing, and dolphin spotting boat trips. Its proximity to the capital city provides easy access to nearby attractions like the Goa Science Centre and Panaji's various dining and shopping options, making it a perfect blend of city convenience and coastal serenity.

Miramar Beach, located just a few kilometers from Panaji, the capital of Goa, offers a different kind of beach experience compared to the more bustling and tourist-heavy spots. It's a beach that locals frequent for a relaxed evening stroll, and for visitors, it provides a peaceful and scenic escape. Here’s a detailed review of what you can expect: The Ambiance: Miramar is known for its serene and calm atmosphere. The beach boasts a long, 2 km stretch of fine, silvery-golden sand lined with palm trees. It's a great spot to simply unwind and enjoy the tranquility of the sea. One of its most striking features is the magnificent view of Fort Aguada across the river, which adds a historical and picturesque backdrop to the landscape. This is also where the Mandovi River meets the Arabian Sea, creating a unique coastal environment. Activities and Attractions: While Miramar isn't as focused on a party scene as some other Goan beaches, it offers a good mix of activities. * Relaxation: The primary draw is the opportunity to relax, take a leisurely walk along the shore, and watch the spectacular sunsets. The gentle waves make it suitable for swimming, I have noted concerns about cleanliness in certain areas. * Water Sports: For those seeking a bit of adventure, you can find a handful of water sports activities, including jet skiing, parasailing, and banana boat rides. Dolphin sighting trips are also a popular offering here. * Nearby Sights: Its proximity to Panaji means you can easily explore other attractions. The Goa Science Centre, Reis Magos Fort, and the charming Latin Quarter of Fontainhas are all within easy reach. The beach is also a great place for birdwatching, especially during the winter when migratory birds flock to the area. Food and Facilities: Miramar is less developed with shacks and souvenir shops compared to more touristy beaches. You'll find a few local vendors selling snacks, ice cream, and souvenirs. For more substantial dining, there are a number of restaurants and eateries in the vicinity, particularly in Panaji. Some luxury resorts like the Marriott Resort are also nearby, offering dining and bar options. What to Keep in Mind: * Crowds: While generally peaceful, the beach can get quite crowded in the evenings and on weekends, as it's a popular spot for locals. * Cleanliness: I have expressed concerns about littering and the overall cleanliness of the beach, so it's good to manage expectations. * Transport: Being close to Panaji, it's easily accessible by rickshaws or taxis. Overall: Miramar Beach is the perfect choice for travelers who want to escape the crowds and enjoy a more relaxed Goan experience. It's an ideal spot for couples seeking a romantic sunset, families looking for a calm environment, or anyone who simply wants to enjoy a peaceful walk on the beach. Its scenic beauty and proximity to the state capital make it a convenient and worthwhile destination.

We visited this casino for a while and had a fabulous experience. If you’re mainly looking to play, afternoons are the best time as it’s quieter. However, if you want to enjoy the complete vibe, evenings and nights are ideal — you can head to the deck, watch live shows, enjoy drinks and dances, relish dinner, and of course, try your luck at the casino.

We went here in the evening time. Dinner was decent. Taste of the food items was okayish. Drinks were good. There was live entertainment as well where live music and dance performances were shown. Casino playing experience was good. Overall a decent experience.

Taking a cruise on the Casino Ship Deltin Jack was an unforgettable experience that perfectly blended a relaxing vacation with the thrill of gaming at sea. Having visited several land-based casinos before, I found the atmosphere on the water truly unique and energizing. From the moment you step aboard, there’s an unmistakable buzz in the air. The casino floor itself is bright, spacious, and well laid out, offering a wide selection of games for every type of player. From classic favorites like Blackjack, Roulette, and Craps to an impressive array of modern slot machines, there’s something for everyone. I especially enjoyed playing at the Texas Hold’em table, where the professional and friendly dealers made the game even more engaging. What really sets a casino ship apart is the social atmosphere. It was wonderful to see couples on romantic getaways, groups of friends celebrating, and solo travelers all mingling and having fun. The space never felt overcrowded, and it was always easy to find a seat at a table or slot machine. Beyond the casino, the ship offered excellent dining options and top-quality entertainment, including live music and shows that kept the energy high all evening. And when we needed a break, stepping out on deck to enjoy the sea breeze and panoramic ocean views was pure bliss. The staff was outstanding throughout our journey—courteous, attentive, and always eager to help. The casino team, in particular, made a great impression by taking the time to explain the rules to beginners, which made the experience both welcoming and enjoyable. Overall, the Deltin Jack cruise was a perfect mix of luxury, excitement, and hospitality. Whether you’re a gaming enthusiast or just looking for a fresh and memorable getaway at sea, this experience is well worth it.

Extremely disappointed with Deltin Jaqk. Despite being a frequent visitor (50+ times across Goa & Gangtok), I was shocked by my last visit. They served me alcohol disguised as fruit juice and even kept fried fish at the vegetarian counter. When I complained, the staff — including their head — showed arrogance instead of resolving the issue. I also mailed the management, but they have not bothered to respond. For a casino that calls itself “world-class,” this is shameful, careless, and insulting.

Very good casino. Entertainment good, food good, drinks good, service good, vibes ok. We ordered Jain food and it was very nice. Lot of mocktail option available for non drinkers. Good to visit if not want to spend higher entry for Deltin Royale.

Everything best except the food quality is worst, tasteless, low quality, updating review after reply from Deltin Jaqk, your food is missing taste coz you are prrparing all the food in continental style, but analyze your maximum guests are from non costal areas of india which will not like continental food, nearly no oil, no spices.... better change cook for gravy items from north india (Himachal or Uttarakhand) you will thank me later.

Extremely rude and arrogant staff at the casino roulette table. Never going there again. Horrible experience. Play in couple of more countries but never seen such behaviour.

The breakfast platters here are to die for! I had the English breakfast, which came with sausages, scrambled egg, two hashbrowns baked beans, bread, a side of mushroom and some salad. Really filling. My other friends had the beef crocket, sandwiches, coffee and other breakfast platters (there are many types). It gets crowded easily so go there in the morning to early afternoon. Affordable too.

This was the best breakfast spot that we got to try in Panjim. Everything on the menu was mouth watering, right from the omlets, pancakes and coffee. They have a huge variety of coffees which you can also parcel if you want, interestingly you get to watch it while it's prepared. You get a very homely vibe on entering, it doesn't feel like a cafe, almost feels like you're in a friend's house for a meal. It was so good in our trip that we decided to visit twice just to try a newer coffee the next time. Overall it was a surreal breakfast experience, something that I absolutely did not expect.

The best that there is. In our four day trip to Goa, we visited Caravela Cafe five times in total. Twice in Panjim and thrice at Candolim. Couldn't get enough of this place. Great coffee and amazing menu to select from. Visiting them for morning breakfast is the best thing to do. I fell in love with Almond Tosca. The staff and owners are very sweet. Just loved it.

Loved the vibe and old Goan charm of this place! The ambience is beautiful and cozy, and the gentleman at the reception was super warm and friendly. The coffee was amazing, and the desserts — especially the cinnamon roll and serradura — were just perfect. Totally worth the visit.

A Beautiful Cafe in Panjim that left me feeling Unwelcome. I visited the Caravela Cafe by myself as I was looking for good breakfast options. When I entered I saw an empty table and sat down. It was a table that could seat three people. Immediately a waiter asked me if there were more people joining and I said no to which he said, you can sit down for now but you might have to shift later if another table frees up as this is a three/four seater table. I said okay. Soon after this, the manager came up to me and asked me the same question, once again, I said it was just me and he made a sort of disappointed face as if I shouldn't have sat there. This left me with a bad experience to start with. The food was tasty overall. I ordered the Goan breakfast which was delicious. You can try the pancakes and cold coffee as well which were nice. The ambience and atmosphere at the cafe is also quite nice. The service and customer experience could be improved.

We looked up this place before entering Panjim, and it turned out to be a great find. The cozy ambience paired with the rainy weather made for a perfect breakfast setting. We began with the Eggs Florentine and Watermelon Feta Salad — both were exquisite. The Bombay Sandwich was a delightful surprise, packed with flavour. My friend had the Keema Pav and found it quite satisfying. One thing we noticed was the generous portion sizes — perhaps we ended up ordering a bit too much! While the pricing is on the higher side, it's justifiable given the quality and quantity. Staff and owner are friendly and they explained every ingredient with passion. Place was welcoming considering it was our first eat out in Goa. We wrapped up with a good cup of coffee, leaving the place refreshed and happy.

They have vegan options. I tried the vegan burger with jackfruit patty and by friend got a spaghetti meat bowl. Did I like it ? Not really. The presentation was nice. The wedges were good. But it’s hard to get the patty right tbh. The cheese wasn’t melty. So it all tasted weird. The staff was quite warm and atmosphere was good too.

Visited this cafe recently and had a pleasant overall experience. Starting with the ambience – it's truly the highlight of the place. The interior is tastefully designed with a relaxing and cozy atmosphere, making it a perfect hangout spot whether you’re with friends or just looking for some quiet time. Clean seating, warm lighting, and a chill vibe all contribute to a 5/5 ambience. The staff was polite and welcoming, and service was decent, though not particularly fast. They do make an effort to ensure you're comfortable. As for the menu, it offers a good variety of food and beverages, but pricing is a bit on the higher side compared to nearby cafes. I tried their Vanilla ice cream – while the flavor was okay, I was disappointed by the value for money. At ₹50 per scoop, the portion felt too small and the quality didn’t quite justify the price. In summary: Ambience: 5/5 – beautifully done, relaxing, and photogenic. Service: Friendly staff, decent service time. Food Pricing: Slightly expensive considering the quantity and taste. Value for Money: Can be improved, especially for basic items like ice cream.

Popular all day resturant right near Miramar beach. It’s a place i frequent a lot. Good place for catching up with friends, they have a nice bakery section, breakfast menu is good. I only wish that volume of the music is kept bit lower , because at times one can barely hear the person sitting right infront.

Right on Miramar beach, this cafe is perfect for coffee and gup shup ... lovely decor, unhurried atmosphere, friendly staff, great beverages and delicious food ... it has a good collection of books to browse while chilling ... I had the vodka infused hot chocolate and chilli goan sausages ... followed by blueberry cheese cake !!

Nice location. The food is great and so is the vibe. We ordered for a chicken club sandwich and the portion was so big that 2 people could not finish it. The taste was really nice and we relished it. It was a great experience as I was meeting my friend there after almost 6 years.

Had a rough day .... thought of coffee and perfect cup turned out to be the best uplifter of the day. Good food ,hot dog ,the burger (the double trouble burger. ) heavenly Going. Back with a bigger crowd

A very quint,serene place and it offers great service and good food and also provides a great variety of options too.

UNPLEASANT & DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE We have been visiting Perfect Cup regularly for breakfast and have always appreciated their food and service. However, today’s experience was extremely disappointing and far from what we expected as loyal guests. We arrived before the breakfast cutoff time and placed our order well in advance. At 11:29 AM, we selected our dessert, but when we tried to place the order, the server responded very rudely, saying the time was over because it had turned 11:30 AM. The tone and approach were unprofessional and unnecessary. What made it even more confusing and disappointing is that at 11:45 AM, we were able to order hash brownies without any issue. Same table, same guests, same café but completely different logic and service. Truly a “UN-PERFECT CUP” experience. Additionally: • Cutlery was not placed on the table. • The Vietnamese coffee was served in dirty glasses, which was unacceptable. • The staff attitude lacked basic courtesy expected in hospitality. I have met the lady owner a few times and she has always been warm and pleasant, which makes this experience even more surprising. As someone working in five-star hospitality in Goa, I can confidently say: guest experience should come before timings, excuses, or internal rules. Professionalism and politeness should never expire at 11:30 AM. I hope the management takes this feedback positively. Staff training, behaviour, and consistency need serious improvement. Guests return not only for good food, but also for hospitality and today, unfortunately, that was missing.

I was impressed with the variety of flavors — all were nice and tasty. The seating area is good, though a bit small considering the crowd it attracts, which can make it feel cramped at times. Service is okay, nothing exceptional but manageable. Overall, a good place to enjoy some quality gelato.

Wanted to have sugar free Gelato. Unfortunately they did not have. Was very disappointed and had to leave without having any. All the displayed Gelatos are extremely sweet and will give you diabetes to land you in hospital for a renal failure. Not recommended.

Highly disappointed with my experience here. Where do I start? Croissant looked like it was half baked. It wasn't layered at all and was overall unpleasant. Salmon wasn't the freshest. And the prices were just unreasonable for what we were served. The cortado I ordered wasn't nice at all. The pizza bread was nice-ish, but the overall pizza? I wouldn't dare order it again. Plus the service was the worst. Everything took way too long to come and they kept forgetting that we had to be served. The plates were not cleared for the longest time even after we had left the place. There were flies all around, which is somewhat understandable because we sat outdoors but I think it could be curbed if the tables were cleared and cleaned as soon as the customer is done with the meal. The one star is solely for the aesthetics of the place. Cute tables, nice ambience for a quaint little cafe.

Cute little house , renovated in a restaurant on the famous 18June RD and has a outside sitting area in the Garden Even though you are in the city you feel disconnected to it in this place We had just popped in for some coffee and icecream. They have a gelato stand and the display is good we tasted all of them , they were good But being raised in Italy my wife expects better than good so we ask them to serve their best and they did it was a Belgium chocolate gelato ,it was excellent and yummy , satisfying delicious 😋 We had a coffee and a almond custard filled donut that was the real deal too good 😍 Loved this place the staff was friendly and very helpful. The place decor was good too .

Okay the pain au chocolate used to be literally my favourite thing here but recently they haven't been putting as much filling as they used to, it was kind of disappointing. The pizza is great too and pairs v well with their coffee(which btw is to die for <3). The prices are a bit too high for some stuff but it's okay i guess. The atmosphere here is just absolutely wonderful. Nothing but vibes all around. And the stuff also aver sweet and helpful. Definitely try it outt!!

We ordered the paninis that were yummy and crafted with love. We also had the lemon tart with meringue which was absolutely bliss. Very light on the palette and the meringue was very airy perfectly complementing the sourness of the tart. The iced caramel latte and the warm latte was good too. The staff was extremely friendly and courteous.

One of the Best cofe in the town. I like the cappuccino and the sandwiches. How can I miss gelatos🍨

Nice place for lunch food is decent not very exceptional. Fish is ok but Sungtache Dangar is too good here. One of the best. Fish thalid are good and filling and drinks are good too... sitting looks bit conjusted rest all is good. Nice fish place in around panjim

A must go for lunch time. Had the regular thali which was well priced and really good. Some days it comes with 'chonak' and other days 'modso'. The curry is just amazing. The service can a be a little testing on your patience as it gets pretty busy after 1:30pm. It can get a little noisy and difficult to have a conversation while the music and the noise from the other tourists.dinning. And if you have a car you can't get beyond a check post due to the residents and have to park in the parking lot 100 mtrs away. But it's all worth it

Perfect for Goan thali and sea food. I make it a point to visit this place during my annual Goa family holiday trips. I tried the fish thali this time in many other locations - Segundo Bairo, Longuinhos, Colva etc but none to beat ‘The Goan Room’. Also the thali is very easy on the pocket compared to the other ones. Love this place 😀

Had Goan thali and pasta, expected both to be more in quantity. Taste was average experience was good. Nice ambience.

Excellent place, great taste, great aura!! We suggest a must visit places to taste authentic Goanese cuisine

Food was very delicious with proper goan flavours, once should must try all the different fishes.

Mori Ambotik and bebeinca were very good. Mori Ambotik tasted like sweet and sour chicken infused with Indian flavors. Bebeinca tasted like bread pudding and plum cake.
