L'Amore Beach Cottages, Ashvem Beach, Goa

Hi Fellow Readers. They say what happens in Goa stays in Goa, I think it should not. We need to tell the tale and make people aware and help.

After a lot of research, we a group of 6 friends reserved L'Amore for a stay of 3 days. In the search, . what attracted us was a glorious beach view, which indeed is. But then it did not last long. The not so worth cottage experience was about to start.

I am detailing some ill treatments which we went through.

They were very Rude in their behavior. With a stay of more than a day it was evident that this behavior was not so visible with non-indian fellow tourists.

The room towels were not replaced day to day basis.

The food was not so good, served very cold to add. The breakfast was supposed to be included in the package. They claimed that if more than 5 persons, charges need to be paid for 1 additional person, we were six! This clause was no where mentioned in the terms and conditions. After a lot of argumentation it was settled to be included in the package without any charges.

They had a Don't Care attitude, we had to wait for like more than hour before the food got served on multiple occasions that too COLD.

To end with I would suggest fellow tourist-friends, please avoid L'Amore Cottage if you are on a GOA trip AND Have a Blast. Happy tripping.

The location of this resort is really beautiful. It's quiet and peacefull. But that's where my appreciation for Lamore Cottages stops. The hospitality is pathetic to say the least. And without them verbally saying it, it is pretty evident how much importance they give to fellow Indians. There were many instances which showed this attitude. I am listing down some of the other issues as well.

1) For our 3 days stay, not once did they bother replacing bathing towels and the irony of it is we were supposedly staying in beach resorts.

2)Breakfast was served cold. Infact the tea was served cold as well. We thought it could be a one off thing but we saw that with our lunch and dinner as well. It wasn't hot(even considering the humid goan climate).

3)The breakfast was served to 5 instead of 6 people. The management told they have only information of 5 people from the booking vendor site. We asked them to reach out to the booking site guys. They did that and finally accepted it was 6 and then served the 6th person breakfast. Note here that previous afternoon they have allotted rooms with information of 6 ppl yet the next day morning they were arguing that breakfast is for only 5 folks. Real petty stuff.

4) We had done our reservations via a booking site. The site had mentioned to pay the GST amount directly to the resort management. When we paid this amount at the resort and asked for a receipt, they were initially hesitant. Then they were trying to pass of a normal slip as receipt. We argued for a proper receipt and finally got it. It was clear they wanted to sniff the money.

5) During our dinner, we ordered for some beverages and food. The food came in late but the beverages still didn't come. The person waiting our table totally forgot about our order. The food was cold. We called the waiter and complained about the food and asked about our beverages. Meanwhile there was a group sitting ahead of us who joined quite later. But we could see them being served way earlier than us. Says a lot about the management's fixation towards fairer skin and in process treating us differently.

We never had food there for the rest of our trip. Goa is a fabulous place with real good people. We just had our worst experience(in our many visits to Goa) in hospitality for the first time. It was really bad. I strongly recommend to stay elsewhere. There are many beach resorts with private entrance to beaches. Choose wisely. Have a fun Goa trip.

I had very bad experience at this hotel. first of all, we were promised beach facing cottages but when we arrived got sub standard rooms facing other cottages. Hotel staff was very rude, argumentive and the service was pathetic. They were not willing to give us the bill with gst. Overall I wish to tell you that even if you have this hotel as an option please do not opt for it. They are racists, earn money through India but don't treat fellow Indians par with other nationality.

We had had booked this cottage Oct 28-30 for Goa trip. Service was Pathetic. Attitude and behavior of the receptionist and the waiters was unprofessional and rude.Thy behave as if we are at their mercy. It was unpleasant experience.

They dint bother to change the towel, toilet soaps and bed sheets for two days. We had ask them many times and run behind them even for small things.

Certainly wont recommend this hotel.

Though the location is good, the service spoiled the trip and made the stay not worth the money.

We booked this hotel through MakeMyTrip for 28-30 oct 2017. The attitude of receptionist at this hotel is very rude n unprofessional. They treat Indians as second citizens. If you ask for anything extra they'll not serve you immediately, upon telling 2-3 times. They'll serve you. They do it as if they are giving it free.

I would recommend big NO to this hotel especially if you are Indians.

Very pathetic service and treatment.
