Salcete hotel guide. Royal Orchid hotel in Salcete, Goa

"I recently had the pleasure of staying at Taj Cidade de Goa Horizon during my visit to Goa, and I must say the experience truly lived up to the esteemed reputation of the Taj brand in India. From the moment we were considering accommodation options, choosing Taj felt like a natural decision given its strong legacy—and our experience fully validated that choice. The level of hospitality, attention to detail, and overall service quality exceeded our expectations. Every department demonstrated exceptional professionalism, including reception, room service, housekeeping, and especially the food and beverage team. I would like to extend special appreciation to Duty Manager, Food Department and Housekeeping for their outstanding service and dedication. What stood out most was the genuine willingness of every team member to assist. We were a group of 21 people, and each one of us was thoroughly impressed by the warmth and efficiency of the staff. A special mention goes to Food Department, who went above and beyond—not only accommodating specific dietary requirements for some members of our group but also personally ensuring that special requests beyond the buffet menu were fulfilled seamlessly. Overall, it was a memorable and delightful stay. I would highly recommend Taj Cidade de Goa Horizon to anyone seeking exceptional hospitality and a truly premium experience."

"Room was clean and comfortable with all one would need. Staff all amazing friendly and helpful. I found the breakfast buffet to be very nice with many choices. But go early as they suggest as it gets very busy and hectic later on. The so called Caesar salad I ordered through room service however was horrible. And definitely not a proper caesar salad. They have essential oils dispensers in the hallways which I found to be way to strong and offensive. It burned my eyes and made me feel sick. Not sure why they think these are necessary. They did move the one from outside my room, but the odor was still overpowering. And for some reason, they decided to oil the wooden pool deck on a busy Saturday, making the pool more or less useless that day and Sunday for me as the odor was overwhelming. Would I stay again? Indeed 👍"

"Superb "

"Great property. "

"Hotel is clean, very friendly and polite staff, great location, great atmosphere. Lot of options for breakfast buffet.. good quality food. One thing need to beware of all the taxes get added on the foods you order. Very good hotel for the families. Overall fantastic stay!!"

"Spa didnt have complementary sauna steam room which would have been useful. The food and drink was a little pricy compared to restaurants and bars around the resort. The staff were very helpful. Breakfast choices were a little repetetive. Room upkeep and size location was excellent "

"Rooms are well proportioned and amenities properly thought through . "

"Great place to be for resort kind of stay. Cool and calm place just away from traffic noise and they have maintained every single big brand amenities, you won’t miss big brand stay. Best part is direct access to silent beaches with very less crowd. You could consider it as private beach. Great stay with great food and service"
