"Nice rooms nice hotel staff good hospitality rooms were clean and well maintained nice stay oberalll"

"We visited Dive Agar on Republic Day Long Weekend and had wonderful Stay @ ‘Exotica Beach Retreat’.  It is indeed one of the finest in Dive Agar. 1. RESORT – It is located outskirts of Dive Agar village on Borli Panchayatan - Diveagar - Shrivardhan Rd after crossing a small bridge. One of the ends of Dive Agar beach is at walking distance from the Resort whereas the main beach having water sports are 2KM away. The resort is lush green and spread across 12 acres with a River on the backside. The landscape reminded me 2 beautiful resorts from passionate owners We visited before – ‘Riverside County’ @ Amba Ghat, and ‘Blue Ocean Resort n Spa’ @ Malgund. 2. ROOMS – There are 24+ rooms at Exotica -  4 luxurious ‘Ekaant’ Cottages (2 Pond and 2 Garden facing), ~8 Machaan type cottages, ~12 riverside cottages. Do check with them directly for availability across categories. Rooms seem to have been constructed using modular technique but are sturdy, soundproof and aesthetically done. Entire resort seems to be painted recently and was neat n clean. We had booked Pond facing Cottage and it was spacious with high ceiling, King size bed, extra mattress kept in cupboard, TV with most channels including that for Kids, mini fridge, AC, ample lights, Tea-Coffee Maker, Huge Bathroom with a Geyser, toiletries and bathtub. There is also a balcony sit out for every cottage  and additional sitout areas with chairs, tables and swings. Dedicated parking spaces available closer to each cottages. The Bath towels and linen were clean although not all of them were spotless. 3. AMENITIES / ACTIVITIES – Resort offers various outdoor activities like plenty of bicycles (in good condition), badminton, Table Tennis, Carrom, a Book library and ample open space for playing.  It does not have a swimming pool. There is also a wooden deck for fishing next to the river and a Goshala where one can go and feed the cows. Goshala and area around it however needs to be maintained. Resort also grows organic vegetables and can be good learning experience for the Kids. There is also a Koi Fish & Lilly pond and it was fun feeding fishes. 4. FOOD – There is Open Air restaurant which serves delicious North Indian, Chinese and local Sea food. It has unique décor where tables are made from antique wooden boxes called ‘Sandook’. There is outdoor seating as well. They do NOT have a Bar yet. Breakfast was hearty and besides regular continental spread and eggs made to Order, there was also Idli, medu wada Sambar, Upma, Pohe, Sabudana Khichadi, Sheera, Sabudana Wada, Misal Pav, batata wada pav, Mango Juice etc. over 2 days. Overall quality, taste and quantity of the food was very good. However, if you want to try some local delicacies like Fish Thali then you should walk-in to ‘Rane Bandhu Khanawal’. For homely Veg meals and Ukadiche Modak, visit Suhas Bapat’s Mess in Dive agar (pre-booking is must). Do not miss to enjoy 'Ukadiche Modak' and 'Ghavan Chutney' besides Sea food while in Dive Agar. 5. ST"

"Worst service and worst hotel ever since last 10 years."

"I would not recommend this stay for the people who will be coming to diveagar, all the staff is rude, food quality is worst the fried fish was raw, the entire hotel is very old, there are broken tiles in the swimming pool and and the maintenence is very low, about the room its like hell ...... the furniture is very old and dusty, there is a mini fridge and it contains only dens of coackroaches, there is very less lighting in the bathroom and everything is rusted and broken, the ac is in bad condition , only the bed is in good condition, all other facilities are worst, the pool ladders were broken and the tiles were broken too, zero privacy..... I would strongly not recommend this hotel to anyone who wishes to rent a room here.... we had a very disappointing experience for the first time in konkan because of the hotel... They should completely change the staff and maintain the hotel properly.... Worst ever experience..."

"They don't even have a kitchen within property, it takes hours for them to deliver food from outside, also room has window without curtains, when compliment done, they put a news paper to cover the glasses, it's a very low ratting property, gave 3 just for behavior, otherwise, it's supposed to get just 1."

"This is wrongly mented as resort. Its a Hotel very small property located 900m from the beach. It has no view kf the beach. The Rooms are very small and bathroom even smaller with many issues we faced like:- 1. The bedsheets /linen were not changed and were faked like changed. On asking staff said they were changed so i showed them the dirt marks and hairs under pillow cover and blanket. Later they changed it. 2. In other room the fan wasnt workjng properly so we reported for which no action was taken for 1-2 hours. We had to walk to reciption had to fight with desk manager, who denied doing any help and even denied changing the room. The Lady boss at reciption was very rude and unprofessional. We found all other staffs very polite and helpful. Later another staff helped us and assured us to send electeician and helped to solve the Fan issue. Surprisingly electeician checked and noted that fan was rotating in wrong direction and changed the capacitor post which fan worked fine. The bathrooms were so small and having broken and old mirror with rusted antique dustbin. Honestly, this HOTEL is not worth 6k and i would strongly recommend my fellow travellers to stay away."

"Too good resort I had ever seen.the staff is very good .the food was awesome I really like that resort so much all staff is very friendly.my children's like their swimming pool and food so much.the way they care about your food and breakfast is too good"

"Location is really on point but due the same rooms heat up a lot and AC is ineffective. You have to climb the stairs for the rooms. But overall a nice stay with decent food what you can expect from this location. The staff was helpful and responsive to the requests."
