Sea Shades Palolem Resort

We had a great time at sea shades! We spent two nights here and were very impressed by the services, cleanliness and quality of the huts. We really got our value for money and would highly recommend visiting sea shades. We will be coming back again for sure!

Nice huts a few minutes from the beach. Nice and clean and even had hot water! Fan and aircon. Fridge and ample wardrobe. New mossie nets which were essential as the grounds were very jungle like but quite stunning. The main drawback was no breakfast facilities there.

Great place to stay just back from Palolem beach at the quieter end. It’s a short walk through a back passage and over the road and through one of the resorts on the front and you’re on the beach. The bungalow is basic but fine, the shower worked and the bed was very comfortable. They will serve you breakfast if required. We ate each evening at the Art cafe which is on the beach and has live music.

A wonderful tropical vacation with a real village ambience. Palm trees in the winding paths to the cottages. Minute-walk to the beaches, restaurants, shopping, sightseeing, Entire staff very helpful and welcoming. I will return again.

My review is about the booking process and why I cancelled my booking. I had wanted to pre book only 2 days and if I liked the resort my plan is/was to stay for a month. Been a customer with *********** for close to 20 years. On my booking it showed it was going to be taken from my credit card for "x" amount, through *********** with an option to cancel within 10 days. Within minutes I get a message from Sea Shade asking to deposit funds into a Indian bank account, did not seem right to me and have now cancelled this booking. Since then I have tried to contact them direct and no response. Message to Sea Shade I can screen shot show to you the information. I was asked to deposit 50% to a Rajneesh Komarpant, account 50100145983170 IFSC - HDFC0001262 Branch Canacona. This is why I use *********** as the accommodation agent to avoid of these situation and not have any control of my funds.

After so long away because of Covid, we are thrilled to be able to come back to Palolem and especially Sea Shades. It's great to see the smiley, helpful staff who greeted us like long lost family! After being in Sri Lanka, it's wonderful to be back in Goa. The owners arranged a taxi to pick us up, gave us our usual room and even had a new Vespa for us to rent. We can't recommend this place enough.....

A wonderful rustic stay !!! The entire staff were welcoming and superbly helpful and attentive. The Manager, throughout my stay, went beyond my expectations ensuring I get my necessary transportation. I will return !

We stayed at Sea shades for 6 days and our stay was absolutely amazing. The staff was the best of the best. So kind and caring. Always with a smile on their face. Our flight was late and they allowed us to check in at 2 am , arranged a driver for us, arranged a bike for us whenever we asked. Their breakfast is delicious and the resort is in the heart of palolem , just 1 min walk to the beach and shacks. Suchitra from the front desk was a sweetheart , she suggested us the best places to tour around like cola Beach, bat island.  All the attractions are only around 20-30 mins around the property. Jayesh and suchitra , thank-you so much for your service.

We really enjoyed staying at Sea Shades. It was in the lovely area of Ourem, away from the busier part of Palolem. However the apartment was quite basic and not what appeared in the advert. There were no bedside tables, or soft lightning and a few things in the bathroom were broken - but could be fixed. Although there was a cupboard there was no wardrobe and generally little storage space so i just kept my things in my backpack. But having said all that, the communal area outside was lovely with lots of natural planting that provided a lovely natural canopy and shading from the hot sun. The staff were also very friendly, helpful and always available whenever we needed anything.
