Very clean. Huge rooms with a luxurious bathroom. Very unusually designed. Fantastic interiors. Amazing hand carvings on the wall of the reception and other places. My partner and I spent a week at Resort Rio over January and had a fabulous time - luxurious rooms, amazing cuisine (particularly the pizzas in Mamma Mia), and second to none service. The staff went of their way to be helpful and we were made to feel very special indeed. Every day we experienced lavish breakfasts lunches and dinners, and I would particularly recommend the vegetarian breakfast which was tailored for each of our requests. Both guests (and staff!) seemed to be thoroughly enjoying themselves during our stay. We were lucky enough to have our break coincide with an Indian wedding being held at Resort Rio. The resort was decorated outstandingly and being able to be a part of the wedding festivities was the icing on the cake of our stay. The wedding ceremony on the banks of the river was beautiful and picturesque - an out of this world backdrop of palm trees and sunshine. There was a terrific atmosphere during the festivities and although we were not part of the wedding party, the happiness and excitement definitely rubbed off on us! Keep it up Resort Rio - I have been bowled over by the high level of service and personal touches, nothing was ever too much trouble for your staff. Experiencing the wedding festivities was amazing, and having seen many 5* wedding venues both in London and abroad, I would, without a shadow of doubt, recommend Resort Rio as the best of the lot!

Slightly off the beaten track but not far from Baga Beach which is very popular. Other secluded beaches within 15 mins drive. The hotel is in front of a river - really beautiful setting to watch sunset and the famous salt pans of Goa.
