      Brilliant Winter Stay at Cuba Agonda”

      If quiet, family friendly, clean, pristine beach with privacy is what you seeking then Agonda beach is your destination and Cuba Agonda resort is a very good Shack-turned resort option. The Staff is very friendly, courteous, good tasty food, beach-facing balcony view cottages are very nice and overall the place has a lovely vibe to it. Just that Powercut seems to an issue with Agonda area - but within 2mins generator led revival happens.. and yes TV connection and such facilities one shouldnt expect from any shack or properties at Agonda - not here for sure but given the amazing beach and other things to do at Agonda, we didnt miss in-room experience!

      And no wifi in the room. We surely book a see view room that was mentioned above the deluxe room title bar and even the photo was see view room. But unfortunately they gave us an isolated room which the inaccessible to wifi. But they don’t inform us as well. And somehow on their bill that mentioned as non-see view room. But I ve heard it happened other time in Agonda, So Probably I got a bad luck.

      About Cuba Agonda Hotel”

      on the beach, friendly staff

      The Cuba Goa Hotel is a nice little resort right on the amazing Agonda beach. When we arrived we received a hut near the road, but after some negotiations with the owner, we manage to get a much nicer one within the main alley leading to the beach, where you had a view over the coast and the restaurant. If you are looking for high standards, then the huts of the Cuba Goa aren’t exactly in that category, but neither are any of the accommodations within the small village of Agonda. On the other hand if you are looking for a quiet and peaceful holiday away from the crowds, than it is definitely the place to be and unwind. The huts are quite large, some of them with AC and most of them with a hammock and comfortable chairs upfront. The staff was very friendly and helpful, but the food wasn’t up to scratch.

      Perfect place in Agonda ”

      Location, room, staff

      We loved everything about Cuba Agonda. The staff was extremely friendly and professional, we had breakfast on our balcony every morning and we always felt well looked after. The room was spotless and very spacious, we enjoyed the big sun loungers on the beach and the hammock right outside our room. Agonda is a much nicer/quieter place than the nearby Palolem and Patnem, and we hope that tourism won't ruin it in the future. A perfect place for relaxing and yoga.

      I stayed for 2 days in the beginning of my journey around India. It was really wonderful relaxing start. I could sleep listening to the oceacn and have rest in a hammock. The room was simple, but has everything that is needed, hot water and a shower. The staff was always very friendly. With great pleasure they helped me to buy bus tickets despite the fact it was quite late for that. I will definetely come to Cuba Agonda and other Cuba places next time.

      Great location but rooms were lousy”

      Location is right on the beach and the resort is beautiful

      stay at cuba was pretty nice except for the fact that we had a rat who spoiled our perfect stay there. the location of the cuba resort is amazing , its right on the beach and for the price we pay for a non ac budget room its worth each penny we pay. the sea is just maybe 20 meters away and we have a little glimpse of the sea from the room. the non ac budget room does have its cons though ; the rooms are pretty small with the bathroom especially small and the wash basin outside the bathroom. also the lighting in the room is not very nice , its only got one light inside and that too was very dim. also we had to face the wrath of a rat for two nights who ate up literally whatever we had in the room to eat in the room. we have no complains against the staff though who were really nice through the trip. also as the location is right on the beach side you can enjoy the pristine beach from the resort. they also had nice sunbath beds on the beach where you could enjoy and relax the whole day. we found the food there a bit too expensive relative to the resturaunts nearby and choose to eat food there. overall we had a memorable stay at the resort.

      Nice Hotel Nice location”

      Location, Feel, and Food

      Its nice budget hotel in agonda. Beach is directly accessible from the hotel. Nice views of beach.. Food served is awesome. Only thing is you have to keep waiting for ordering food as service for dine and drink is very poor at the restaurant. Otherwise awesome place to stay.

      Great location best beach hotel ”

      location is fantastic, food is too good,service is excellent,

      Great location best beach hotel,location is fantastic, food is too good,service is excellent, There are plenty of mosquitoes at night.The net provided was of poor quality.Cleanliness and comfort in the room is very poor.If they give importance to these two then its 100 % a best place to enjoy with family & friends. The only bad thing to point out is very dirty street dogs which are around you all times which the Hotel people wont bother. Some foreigners - Westerners use to serve these dogs by the plates ,cups which are served to them .They use to share the food with these dogs in the same plate.By seeing that we use to doubt about the hygiene of food plates beacuse same is used by hotel people to serve.We felt vomiting. The Hotel people should strictly avoid / restrict the foreigners & dogs from such misbehavior. Other than this all other things are very good.

      Great location on quiet beach”

      Location on the beach

      If you look for a quiet and simple place on the beach you will be happy in Cub Agonda. if you look for luxury you are wrong here. The place could benefit from some renovations (the bungalow and all my belongings wascompletely set after a strong monsoon rain). Staff is helpful and friendly. Tip: rent a scooter to see the other beaches around.

      Cuba Agonda is a perfect place to enjoy this beautiful stretch of Goan paradise. The setting, facilities and service all just help you relax and lose track of time.
