Ronil Goa, JdV by Hyatt

8/10 Good
"I spent a week here in September 2026. This hotel is handy enough to all the local night life but is quiet enough to be relaxing. There are a lot of good local restaurants within the vicinity. It’s great to just try new foods. A first for me was a Xacuti. Very spicy. Very good."

"Very nice property....not near the sea (beach is about 2 km away) and a quiet location. Very friendly and well appointed staff...very helpful. The Front desk manager Bhawana Rai was truly exceptional....very friendly, knowledgeable and super helpful with an excellent sense of humor. Great Bar with lovely music (albeit a tad bit loud for me) and fantastic food. Overall a great property if beach is not your primary criteria."
