Family friendly Hotels in Gokarn

You will be completely bowled over by the beauty of this property from the moment of arriving at the gates . The vistas are stunningly beautiful and the rooms very tastefully decorated and incredibly comfortable It is a fabulous place for some relaxation after a hectic tour and we were lucky enough to spend 2 nights of the 4 in the company of the lovely owners , who treated us to a sensational open air dinner on their last night. However, it is a homestay rather than a hotel and that means that you have to be lucky as far as the other guests are concerned : Since the rooms can accommodate families, you may find yourself confronted with screaming toddlers and noisy facetime calls by the pool, as happened on our last day - which somewhat eclipsed the wonderful experience that we had had until then. For this reason, we cannot give this 5/5 especially as we found the service and the food a bit hit and miss. Our next stop was Ahilya by the sea in Goa - a similar small heritage style property - which offered a far greater choice of food with far better portions / presentation and impeccable service Like other reviewers, we also found the communication difficult at times as it is essentially via whats app . We were also surprised not to be given a map of the area and better information of what to do, especially when renting a motorcycle from them. The information on activities on offer was quite random - pushed quite heavily upon arrival before you've even unpacked and without any details or pricing . Despite promises of this being sent to our room, it never arrived - not that this mattered as we essentially wanted to relax but other guests staying at the time were offered a complimentary boat trip that was not even mentioned to us To round it off, at the time of checkout - we found items on our bill that we had not had and likewise, items missing so our final impression was that this is a stunning but rather chaotic property . We are still glad that we went and feel privileged to have stayed there but the overall service standards fail to match up to the price tag

Best service and hospitality. Room service and any special request used to take 2 mins and someone used to be at the door. They even provided face pack, face scrub and used to replenish those. Free snacks and chocolates used to replenished daily. We got a plum cake and port wine complimentary on Christmas. Food was great. The view from property was great. They even provided a cloth stand to dry your clothes after the beach. Beach was few meters away. A lil trek downwards. Restaurant area had a beautiful sunset spot

My mother and I had an amazing 2 night stay at Swaswara resort. This is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been.. surrounded by lush trees and water and short walk to a very clean private beach Favilities for yoga, Ayurvedic treatments and meditation. Special mention to yoga instructor Mithun Krishna, who was very knowledgeable and friendly. Food was healthy and very tasty. My birthday was on a day we stayed there.. staff made me a cake snd a card. Felt like we were staying with family. Will definitely be back for a treatment package trip next year

Very clean and all the basic needs fulfilled at viraz valley. The service is prompt. View is also good. Food is good too. They would arrange two wheelers for rent also. They helped us plan the sightseeing places. Overall a great stay with affordable prices
