Star Inn Resort

The resort is situated right on the beach, with the front gate facing Mandarmani Road and the back gate opening directly onto the shoreline. There are a few small beachside eateries nearby. I stayed in Room 301, which offered a pleasant view of the sea. The staff service was average—they didn’t assist with my luggage, though I wasn’t too bothered by it. The resort is centrally located in Mandarmani, which is convenient. I had dinner at the property—pomfret curry with roti. The curry was nothing special; it's a basic Bengali-style gravy, where the only change is the type of fish used. Having tried pomfret in Goa before, I was expecting more, but this was quite ordinary. There were a couple of street dogs roaming the premises. One was even outside my room and ended up eating the leftover fish from my plate. In the morning, the pool was being cleaned while loud Bangla songs played in the background. Though the songs were changed to latest hindi hits while we prepared to enter the pool. Judging by the water's appearance, it hadn't been changed in over a week, though it was still usable. The property features both rooms and cottages, as shown in the photos. Each room is equipped with a window AC, which works fine but looks a bit out of place. Bathrooms come with a geyser for hot water, and there's also a kettle with tea and coffee sachets provided. The overall construction and finishing give village-ish feel. The wall colors are unusually dark—blue and dark pink—and the bathroom tiles are brightly colored and printed. Fixtures like the taps are plastic, and there’s no mixer for the shower—just separate hot and cold taps. The wardrobe isn't very functional, offering only one unlaminated shelf with exposed plywood. The TV in the room was quite small and not operational. Despite these minor inconveniences, I had a peaceful and enjoyable stay overall. As a family our stay was comfortable and peaceful. Me and my daughter enjoyed a lot at the pool. We went out to beach to play with sand.

Location of the resort is adjacent to the beach. Bathroom was clean. Linen could have been better. Food was pretty good. On the downside, bathroom lacked a geyser even though they did provide hot water in around 10-15 minutes. Switch board was a little old. There was a picnic spot adjacent to the resort which played music throughout the day. It became pretty annoying after a while. Barring a few downsides, overall experience of the resort was good. Service was prompt as well. You can definitely opt for this resort.

The resort is very beautiful amd the location is perfect with the beach right behind the resort. The rooms are also maintained and staffs are really courteous and helpful. The food was really nice with standard options to choose from. They have a parking facility. The decoration part needs to be taken care off. Overall a nice experience and one can definitely opt for it. Thanks and cheers!

nice experience with the resort. it's just in front of sea . services are prompt, food's are with quality & quantity. we like their veg. pulao so much. overall they make our Xmas memorable. They have to think about bonefire charges. it affects their food orders. some maintenance issue basically with washroom locks require attention. great behaviour of every staff.
