Baale Resort Goa

Just returned from a fabulous 4 day holiday at Baale resort in Arpora, Goa. It has been one of the most rejuvenating and relaxing vacations I have ever enjoyed. Our villa was comfortable and luxuriously appointed, with our own beautiful private pool, and the ever-obliging and efficient Rana (our butler) to see that we wanted for nothing. Service was impeccable and courteous. Can’t wait to go back!

Avoid Baale, Goa – Not Worth the Hype or the Price Absolutely shocking experience. We were made to wait over 4 hours past our check-in time — no apology, no urgency, just complete disregard for our time. Once we finally got in, the problems just kept piling up: • The carpets in the rooms were wet and smelled awful — like they hadn’t been aired out or cleaned in weeks. • The pool was dirty and unusable — unacceptable for a premium property. • The couches and living room furniture were badly stained and filthy (attaching photos for proof). This place had the feel of a poorly run guesthouse, not a luxury villa. • Even the rooms were poorly maintained, with visible stains and a musty atmosphere. Basic cleanliness and upkeep seem to be missing entirely. When we raised all this with the team, all they could offer was: “Sorry, we can give you a free barbecue. And that the previous guests trashed the place really badly” That’s not compensation — it’s an insult. We booked for a friends birthday and all they care about is taking payment and selling more stuff to guests - 0 hospitality, 0 hygiene, 0 respect Do not get misled by the positive ratings. For the price they charge, this is no better than an OYO room. It’s clear they are either coasting on outdated reviews or don’t care about delivering even basic hospitality anymore. Avoid Baale. You deserve better.

More than a great place to visit. The villas are very beautiful with an outstanding pools. The staff is more than friendly and they have looked after extremely well. Don't miss the food. The Wasabi prawns or Dim Sum are excellent and more than great. All in all we have enjoyed every minute of our stay and we are looking forward to come back again. Hopefully we will be back soon.

We ***** with our friends from US visited the resort and were blown off our feet by what we saw and experienced!As you step in and go around the water bodies,Landscaped garden and architecture remind you strongly of Bali!Interior of each villa is unique and to say the least Mesmerizing! The food ,oh my God the chef’s testing menu had countless tapas looking and tasting great paired with superb cocktails.This place could compete with Michelin star restaurants anywhere! Hospitality and courtesy of GM Ashoo Bhatnagar was icing on the cake!

The BEST villa resort we have been to, not just in Goa, but in India. Chetan, our in-house villa guide made this trip the ultimate luxurious staycation. We had 5 toddlers with us, so you can imagine the chaos - but everything from the kids food, to good activities, a fabulous pool was perfect! Can’t wait to visit again. Specially if you have kids travelling with you - this is a safe and enjoyable space. Rooms were amazing and the overall vibe was rich & cosy. Thank you so much Chetan - he did not stop smiling & helping either at 2 pm or 3 am!!

Baale was a one of a kind experience…Each beautifully designed Balinese villa had 4 bedrooms with its own swimming pool, a charming drawing & dining room & a fully equipped kitchen. The icing on the cake was the personal butler who took care of all our requirements right from laundry, cocktails served at the pool, to a full service at mealtimes…To top it all the meals were exceptional whether it was Indian, Japanese, Chinese, Mexican or Continental… What a great place to spend quality time with family or close friends👌👌 FYI-the most comfortable mattress n pillows!
