Veronica Resort

This is my third time with Veronica. We can easily afford to stay at higher range resorts but still we love to stay at veronica, the little place situated in quaint lanes and close to beach. This is for 3 reasons 1. The owner Joseph is a fantastic guy and his assistants are very kind and helpful too , the direct booking process through whats app is hasselfree and you pay only 1000 advance. 2. the hotel has a perfect location 3 mins walk to the beach stretch which connects to candolim, calangute, baga stretch 3. The rooms have all amenities (fridge, wifi, AC, hot water, room service for food, we can buy our own drinks too) at a lot cheaper price range. You will not find very hifi crowd here may be due to its cheaper rate people are bit skeptical about its quality and standards. but I am sure this place will attract polished crowd very soon. The best part it's location which is on calangute caldolim shopping road (just a 5-6 min walk in the inside lanes) which makes it not only peaceful but also very accessible for short walks or shopping or even breakfast options. They do have a fully operational inhouse restaurant and also a little swimming pool (which is cute to enjoy with kids) . The restaurant serves breakfast (extra cost or buy a package with room) and also good lunch dinner options. They make good chinese. The rate we paid this winter (Nov 2021) was 2200/- per night for non ac , no breaksfast room which i think is too good a rate for a very clean room and spacious balcony overlooking village houses and mango and palm trees. The views can differ depending on the room. we were in 405. No mosquitos (few light flies can be there in the night but nothing that bites you) . From room balcony, we spotted several times Kingfishers, kakakoa and many other rare birds and also spotted moongus. The neighboring dog breezy was already our friend. We stayed for 8 days and had a greate time there . Every morning you can go swimming in the sea as it is so walkable and then get back drenched and after shower enjoy breakfast anywhere you like. They also rent out scooters, arranges airport , station transfers at reasonable rates. They have parking (though the last lane to location is very narrow but innova can pass easily) . Cleanliness is high, the workers are trustworthy and no theft threats. They give you 1 water bottle free everyday. Earlier they would also make free trips to you if you stay over 3 days (eg. cruise tickets, dolphin trips) but that;s no longer happens. But you can book trips anyway through them with extra cost. I am so much in love with this place that I will stay here every year when i will visit goa . by the way a posh resort right next to it charges 24000 per night for the same location so do consider this great place and save your money to spend on something more interesting while in goa. Unless you are a person who just want to chill in a room whole day , this is a perfect destination for all those who are true travel seekers and explorers.

Writing this review on behalf of my friend. Rooms are neat and clean. Smooth check-in & check-out procedure. Nice & professional staff, breakfast was superb with many options available. Just 5 mins walking distance from Calangute beach & one of the nearest property to the beach. Will surely recommend this hotel & stay here again.

Nice little guest house literally 5 minutes walk to the beach . Lovely big clean comfy bed . Cleaned every other day . Large balcony . I ate in the restaurant a few times & the food was very good . The staff are lovely & very friendly . The only issue was that the taxi i had booked to pick me up from the airport after arriving at 2.40am picked someone else up so i had to find my own way to Veronica which wasnt ideal . However they ensured that i did have a taxi to take me on my departure . Also they were building a pool directly outside my room but it didnt affect me too much as i was out all day at the beach . It was quite nice watching the development day by day.The guest house is in a very good location near to the beach & not too far from the main street with lots of restaurants & shops nearby . I would stay here again if i return to Calangute & would recommend Vreonica Guest house to other visitors.

We booked for 2 nights and the room they put us up on the first night was underwhelming to say the least. We were very disappointed. There was also some construction going on right next to the room, making the experience worse. We requested a room change the next day and they immediately moved us to a diff room on another side, which was so much better. I wish we had not had the first horrible night. Best part: Walking distance to Calangute beach + situated in a village in Goa. People who run the house are very sweet and helpful. What needs to be fixed: The guest house needs to put up a clear board on the road. It can be slightly difficult to locate on first instance.

Veronica's Lodge, that is the apt name to call it as it does not provide any facilities of a standard resort. There is no on call 24x7 service, no tea and coffee sets or hot water kettle in the room. The food from the restaurant is expensive. The liquor, as everywhere in Goa is reasonable. Staff is very friendly, if you are going during peak season ensure that you pre book your logistics requirement online, do not book it thru the reception desk. Also it would be apt to mention that there quite a few rules to follow if you stay here. Pros of Veronica's Lodge is that it is a quite area and very closely located to the Calangute beach's nicest section with lot of shacks. The rooms are nice and spacious, we had booked AC rooms with balcony. The breakfast is complementary, though the options are very less.
