Mistral by the sea

Spotless room, great location, friendly staff, perhaps could do with a snack bar for when you are sat around the pool instead of having to leave and get something to eat, apart from that very good.

I had such a fantastic stay at Mistral by the Sea. This place captures everything you want from a Goan beach escape — relaxed, friendly, and just a short stroll from the beautiful Benaulim shoreline. The rooms are bright, clean, and comfortable, with plenty of space to unwind after a day in the sun. Everything felt well maintained, and the overall vibe is easygoing in the best possible way. The staff were brilliant throughout my stay — warm, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. Whether it was arranging transport, sharing local tips, or just checking in to make sure everything was perfect, they made the experience feel personal.

Spotless, large, modern, and luminous - the Mistral is a great place to stay if you find yourself in this beautiful part of South Goa. Kathleen and her Dad run a great operation that's only a five minute walk from the beach and close to shops and the main village. Highly recommended!

Room was very clean with a great view of the pool & sea beyond. Bed was very comfortable & water in shower was nice & hot. We were told on check in that the water takes a few minutes to get hot, so it wasn’t a problem. Nice sized fridge & tea & coffee facilities. We had a lovely stay

I had a very pleasant stay at Mistral by the Sea. The property was clean, well-maintained, and offered solid, consistent Wi-Fi throughout my visit. Upon arrival, I received a helpful welcome package that included useful contact numbers for taxis, groceries, medical support, and more—very convenient for travelers. Breakfast is served at the adjacent restaurant, owned by the same hosts, and it was excellent every morning of my stay. Although the hotel isn’t right on the ocean, the beach is only about a one-kilometer walk away, which made for a pleasant bit of exercise to and from a relaxing day at the beach. When I didn’t feel like walking, a tuk-tuk ride cost just around 100 rupees, making it very convenient. My room was spacious and overlooked the pool. While I didn’t swim because I prefer the beach, I did check the water and it was a very comfortable temperature. The hosts were friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. I would happily stay here again. The only minor issue I encountered was with the hot water in the shower, though I experienced similar issues at multiple locations in India, so it wasn’t unique to this hotel. Overall, a clean, comfortable, and relaxing stay—highly recommended!
