Cabo Serai

The stay was beautiful, we loved the view! But there are a few things that were bothersome. Firstly, there were a lot of large ants in the bathroom. We called the reception to resolve this multiple times. The food was fresh and tasty but the quantity is too less. The main course is like a mini snack in terms of quantity. The staff are hospitable. The beach is quite private. The pool was clean. Overall a good stay

One of the best locations in south Goa, excellent cottage with amazing views. We stayed for two days, and felt completely at home here and spent almost the entire 48 hours at this property

An absolute gem of understated luxury above a beautiful beach and surrounded by forest. The ups and downs of getting here are not exaggerated and decent mobility is necessary to get around! The staff are all very attentive and the lodge we stayed in was definitely 5 star, beautifully designed and filled with little extras. Thanks all for a great stay!

pros: - romantic, well-decorated cottages in a quiet, far-from-madding-Goa sort of location - beautiful view of the sea cons: (just too many!) - the location! - once you're in the resort, you're stuck till check out. too cumbersome to go anywhere. you drive through a deserted-looking super-bumpy beachside guided by tiny easy-to-miss arrow signs only to find you've just reached the parking. the actual resort is a full 10-15 min level 1 trek through rocky steps, sand, and mud from parking - NOT accessible by buggy. The staff meets you at the parking and painfully carries your luggage on their backs the entire distance, 2024 AD, anyone? so if you're planning to bring small children or elderly parents *****, well, DON'T. - not enough thought has been put into servicing such rustic cottages on such a difficult terrain. the staff has to come from very far off and coming from such a distance through the muddy climb, they would themselves end up bringing a lot of mud and insects into the room! - while it is normal to have some wild experiences so close to nature, the creepy crawlies are too big an issue you have to constantly worry about. we had a rat in our room that sneaked in through a construction defect in the bathroom wall!!! the staff spent a lot of time figuring on a jugaad solution (after trying to blame us for leaving food crumbs in the dustbin before they found out that the toilet door wall had a 3" gap for the mice to come frolicking into the room) - the restaurant is a good 10 min walk from the cottages and make that 20 if you call for the buggy because that would take longer for the buggy to arrive to your room! - food is perfectly average but at such a distance from civilization, you dont have much choice but to settle for it. nice view of the sea from the restaurant though. So while the resort is a unique concept from the usual Goa shacks or 5-star giants, it needs some more work before it becomes recommendable.

We spent a week in Cabo Serai and every day was special....we truly enjoyed walking at sunrise trying to spot dolphins and sea turtles...beautiful birds and colourful butterflies...this place is heaven for everyone who enjoys nature...the beach is beautiful and peaceful...food was every day cooked fresh and delicious....we could have stayed there much longer...Thank you to all the staff who made our honeymoon so amazing..we will definitely come back..

One of the best stays in south goa. As mmt rightly described it, a true hidden gem. We will definitely come back to this place soon. The cottages are very spacious and the service is top notch.
