I didnt feel the value of money by staying here
Location was good, Food was awesome, Room was in a terrible state , sinking might be becoz of rainy season. Pool they were closing by 6 PM (this might be the policy) we were expecting to sit by room during evening/night times.

Great location with only a short walk to the beach (100m) and a 5 minute walk to Tito's Lane. I felt however the rates charged were far too high for what the hotel offered.

Pros Well located Safe and secure Decent food Nearby to beach having access directly Close to Tito lane Taxi etc available right at gate Copious eat outs nearby Cons Not value for money. The room are spartan for the price charged. There are other properties that can offer more luxurious facilities. We got a room that was in one corner beside the pool. Though we asked for a change it was not addressed. There are other rooms with garden views which are better. Be careful to choose and insist the right room. We made a special request... We booked for 4 nights... However due to some unavoidable reasons, we could not join in on day 1. We joined on day 2 and asked for not charging for day 1 and the request was flatly denied. I thought some consideration could be given to this. Pool is neat and clean but water has a funny taste..

Nice hotel on the beach
Good staff, great food, nice pool, access to beach from the resort. Room up-keep could be a little better, but when in Goa, you do not spend too much time in the room, so its ok. Room rates are on the higher side.

Hotel or a prison?
If you are senior 60+ traveller who enjoys spending time alone this hotel is your choice. Security guards everywhere making sure you wont bring even relatives to hotel premises. I have never been in a hotel that doesnt allow any visitors even to use washroom before going out to dinner. Felt more like a prison than a hotel. I recommend to avoid this "hotel" because of the "no visitors" rule.

Good location, nice facilities but bad management
Best thing about this hotel is that it at walking distance from baga beach. Some of rooms are at very good location and are in good condition but some rooms are full of seepage. Either pray to God :) or negotiate in advance to get a good room otherwise management hardly care about changing you room. They didn't changed for us even after some room got vacated at the same night (we checked-in). If you are night party freak then it room location may spoil your holiday because their are some cocks (yes, you got it right) in nearby locality (if you didn't get a room at good location), who will make you wake up at 5 AM (literally). But don't worry they will not charge for this unwanted free morning alarm ;), otherwise they will charge for everything, yes even for wifi in room (came-on folks, which hotel with10000/night room price charges for it).

Great Hotel...near to beach as well as Night Clubs
We stayed in this hotel for 3 nights. My assessment of the Hotel is as follows: Pros Near to beautiful Baga beach (2 mins walk) Near to Nightlife places Good restaurants around Good and clean pool Cons Average breakfast We didn't eat much at Hotel as there are plenty of options around. Overall nice Hotel which gives you best of both worlds.

Grubby, Damp and then just average - overpriced
Arrived to find ourselves allocated a room which was grubby with rising damp and damaged furniture (block 15). Then got moved to a room which appeared to have an underground spring (block 16) - spent a night in the damp and musty room to finally be moved to block 12 which was nothing more than average. Hotel is overpriced and needs some serious attention - would also suggest that the Reception staff are honest and do not try to treat guests like idiots!. Was advised by the hotel manager that the description you provided on your website is not accurate and there are no sea view rooms - suggest that someone gets their act together! Avoid the New Year Gala dinner - its a rip off - go to the beach instead! Location is excellent, cleaning staff helpful and doing the best job they can. Not sure whether the numerous rude Russian guests got better treatment but then who cares?! Baga is excellent but save your money and go elsewhere to stay!

Good Experience!!!!!!!!!
I found the hotel over all to be good,neat and having a super location.Its situated very close to Baga Beach and food was also good so as service.I would like to visit again as well. However I had few concerns. The check in time was 1 PM and check out time was 11 PM (next day) but as far as I knew that it should be 12 PM-12PM or something which have complete 24 hours. Anyways the same was not informed to me through the website (Expedia.com) which I used to book the hotel. The Email for booking says that 12 PM was check in. I had to wait almost 1 and half hour in hotel to get the room even after reaching after 1(as per the check time by hotel).

Best Hotel ,Close to Beach and Titos :-) Super .
It was an amazing stay . Its just beside Calangute Beach which is best for especially couples , thats because we went there on a New Year and if it was not this Hotel then it would have been difficult to come back to hotel with my wife in that crowd post the party at Titos. The best part is that Titos club is right behind this Hotel . Its the best hotel .Beach + pubs right beside hotel is what every one will ask for in Goa :-)

I saw the website of this hotel online and booked it after seeing the photos and reviews online at hotels.com i reached Goa and stayed there for 5 nights and i was UTTERLY DISSATISFIED with the HOTEL STAFF.they were extremely rude.I had ordered vegetarian food and it was horrible and i complained and the staff said it is like this sir we cant help it,I told them to cancel my next order which i had placed already and he rudely said that it cant be cancelled.i got furious and left and EVEN PAID for the food which i didnt eat ! i was extremely shaken with this kind of hospitality and never expected this kind of hospitality from a place like GOA which depends SOLELY on tourists !! i will not visit the hotel again for sure, LA CALYPSO is MUCH better as i visited that hotel because my frnd was staying there.

Great Location, Good Staff, Worth the money - Recommended
The hotel is right on the beach. (about a 1km to the left is main Calangute beach and about 1 km to the right is the heart of Baga beach). Location is just about perfect - baga nightlife is within 5 minutes walk from the hotel. Titos is less than 15 minutes walk. There are lots of restaurants near the hotel; you just need to come out to the main road (abt 500m from the hotel entrance). During the season, they have their own shack and sun deck. The staff is excellent. Very friendly and hospitable. Classical style cottages (each having 4-6 rooms) and good greenery. The cottages are well maintained; unfortunately we could only get a room at ground floor next to the restaurant; all sea view rooms were occupied. Our room had an average size bedroom (queen bed, cabinet with safe, 14 inch CRT TV with cable connection, 2 side tables, AC, Fan)and a living room. (sofa, dressing table, hot water kettle, mini refrigerator). The room was pretty decent but bathrooms were on the smaller side. The bed linen etc was also decent. Ala Carte at the restaurant is limited and not worth the price. Service at dinner and lunch time is very slow. It could take more than half an hour for the food to arrive. The liquor selection at the bar is just about ok. The buffet breakfast was good though not too expansive menu. The swimming pool is well maintained; it though is smaller than what it appears on the pics. Overall good value for the money during off-season (I visited in first week of June)

Very good hotel. Great location, nice staff.
We stayed there for 3D3N. + Location is unbeatable. + Taxi, Rental Car & Bike is readily available + Good restautants and food courts nearby. + Staff is friendly and helpful. + Room service is quick and good. - Bathroom is really really small. Biggest drawback. - A bit overpriced, but worth staying. Overall...Recommended!

Good To stay ! Recomnded !
We had very pleasant stay for 3 days, Excellent location, right on the beach in between baga and calangute. a couple of mins walk! Hotel doesnt have its own beach shake! Good Break fast with limited menu options. Rooms were very tidy, not that spacious as seen in photographs but sitting room is an advantage. Bath room is very small :( Nice greenery around the hotel good to stay with family/kids. This HOTEL is recommended..

I am actually glad I picked up Colonia Santa Maria as my choice hotel to stay. the property is one of the best locations on baga beach....neat and clean, surprisingly their food is also excellent....though for improvement they could put LCD TVs instead of those 14" monitors,...and should also provide beach towels. Overall great value for money....dont forget to visit TITOs...and Baga Club next to the hotel.
