Grand Hyatt Goa

Panaji

10/10 Excellent

Amazing hotel (a proper 5 star unlike lot of other hotels claiming to be 5 star in goa)and a great stay for 4 nights. Huge property with tons of staff. I saw more staff than guests which was a big plus. The hotel is based in bambolin and unfortunately there is nothing to do in the area. However the hotel is extremely large and were happy to spend time within the premises. The good part is the hotel doesnt try to rip you off since you are forced to do things at the hotel. Prices were reasonable. ...
