"Having travelled around India for 5 weeks it was refreshing to find a hotel where we weren’t pestering for reviews every 5 minutes! Maybe that’s because they don’t need to as they already know that their staff are all friendly and helpful, the hotel and rooms comfortable and spotlessly clean, nice food and pool. And all this just a short stroll to all the amenities of North Cliff. We were there when the monsoon started and as we had a late flight they allowed us to use our room until late...

The relaxed atmosphere of the cliff-top cafes often means pets are welcome in outdoor seating areas, too.

Your choice here depends on finding a specific establishment that openly welcomes pets, as policies can vary even within the same area.
