Amazing place for a family holiday!

Our family had a fantastic time at Zuri White Sands. The gardens of the facility are among the most well kept and serene I have ever seen. The pool areas are lovely and clean. Breakfast was good with an excellent selection, although with a bit noisy acoustics. The pan-Asian restaurant is also we’ll worth a visit, with warm and welcoming atmosphere, excellent food and very attentive staff. The rooms were kept clean and neat, but not sound proof in any way. It’s also good that they try to think of environmental issues, noticeable for instance that you can choose not to change linnen (but I would suggest they do the opposite, that you have to make an active choice to get the linnen exchanged, since I think lots of people don’t actually care enough to leave that note on the pillow). The beach is also amazing in this area, but the motor boats and amount of people has left it a bit less pristine than last time we were here some 10 years ago. In Goa it’s always tricky with the balance between nature and exploitation, but we were happy to see crabs and sea snails roaming the edge of the water. We will definitely come back to visit again!

Beautiful beach, comfortable, beautiful, and clean rooms, good facilities, excellent food and outstanding waitstaff at restaurants and bar. This resort tends to be popular with younger families with kids, so if you're looking for a place without families, this is probably not for you. The resort is about 45 minutes away from Goa Dabolim airport. Call hotel for a paid taxi pick-up well ahead. You will have to pay for airport drop off too. Overall, great place and good value for money, though their systems (like many places in India!) seem to be a bit chaotic and disorganized. If you call them, for example, they will need to know your reservation # (not the Expedia reservation) and can't seem to do a search based on your name. Check-in took some time although the front desk was polite and helpful, and we were served welcome cold drinks while we waited. Like many places in India, people don't follow a queuing system and jump in even though front desk may be helping you (systems!), so that adds to the delay as they deal with multiple issues at the same time. Late check out of a few hours is paid for with an additional day's room charge, so be aware of this when you book your flight. Information about what events are going on each day is not obvious and you'll have to call the front desk or dig around a bit. Not all 5 restaurants and bars were open when we stayed for 4 nights, but food quality, variety, and service were excellent. Varca beach is fabulous! Enjoy your stay!

Pour se ressourcer

Etablissement superbe. Très bon breakfast, mais dîner sans variété pas à l'auteur de l'Hotel. Les boissons et les repas hors forfait son très chers. Service courtois et impeccable. WiFi excellent. Belle plage, mais difficile de nager. Aucun divertissement dans l'Hotel le soir. L'offre de 15% discount sur les repas et sur la Spa n'est pas respectée.

When you enter the property it looks lavish but the disappointment is have to make three complaints in three nights we stayed out of three nights. 1st night went for dinner and the staff were not aware of pint size they serve, asked them specifically and ordered accordingly but came in half the size of what I have been told. Then the billed arrived paid the sum and the server came back short of money stating Sir there is X amount short is it okay? I was not expecting this from 5* hotel Zuri claimed to be. 2nd night our room number was 101 next to the kitchen, the staff were making noise outside the room at 11pm told the staff directly the noise didn’t stopped. Called reception requesting the same after 15 minutes the noises didn’t stopped. Even told them yiu h e awaken my 3 year old daughter but no difference, finally I have to go to reception to ask them can they stop as this is unacceptable. 3rd got the WhatsApp message from the bury manager Chandni at 2.22pm stating that do we need to change the room where they are aware we are leaving next morning? When notified to her asking why I am not allowed to get the taxi from outside she said it is all of South Goa where you have to order taxi from the hotel, so asked why this has not mentioned on your website as they charge 70% more then the price is. She sir this is what they charge. In my opinion ZURI is worth 3* hotel this is also bcos of few good staff. Will I visit again to Zuri, NO.

The property and services are excellent. Location is reasonable distance from the airport. This property along with other regional hotels suffers from unreasonable and excessive taxi cartel which appear to be supported by the hotels. If you are not familiar with the region, you will be ripped off by the taxi drivers association who work with some of the concierge of the hotels. A prepaid taxi from airport to the hotel is around Rs 1300.09 for 2 passengers with standard amount of luggage. Return journey to airport for same is quoted by the hotel’s night staff at Rs 1700.00 and at the last minute the concierge of the hotel increases unilaterally to Rs 2700.00 claiming excess baggage. Duty manager steps in to help and ensures that the guests are not overcharged.

Noisy Poor Customer Care

Very disappointed in this hotel. We were in room 131 for 3 nights and our sleep was disturbed by trolleys being pushed past from 6am each day. Complained and asked for a different room but told hotel was full. On the third night trolleys started to bring stuff past our room from about 10:30pm and only stopped at 11:45 pm when I complained. Response from the management was we had a function! We were given a different room on 4th day which was quieter but still noisy for a hotel of this standard - we could hear everything from adjoining rooms and outside areas. Not a good hotel for uninterrupted sleep. Concern from management was severely lacking and we were offered no compensation for a miserable stay- attitude was 'we moved you when you complained' which is simply not good enough. The only positives I will give are that the rooms were very clean and well appointed and the pool and location are superb. Management really needs to look at its attitude to real customer care.
