    The WiFi - could do with improving. Kept cutting on and off. Not sure if it’s an issue in the area or this accommodation but needs to be looked into.

    Excellent location, excellent staff. We booked the sea view bungalow which was right on the beach. Amazing views! The bungalow came with a porch and a hammock. Very comfortable beds and the room was spacious with a fridge included. The staff were very friendly and the food was good. Great lounge chairs on the beach also which are reserved for guests. All in all a great location to stay in at Palolem beach.

    Wow! Was better than I expected. The staff is the friendlist of all the places I've stayed in India. The location is perfect! Lovely beach and great atmosphere. My room was very clean and comfortable. They even provided An extra mattress for my nephew who joined me on a much needed vacation. Food was amazing. Never had a bad meal. I will be back for sure 😃

    What a lovely little place! Really a gem. We booked last minute for a weekend away and couldn't have had a nicer time. Amazing location right on the beach, but feels like a quiet hideaway. Wonderful staff, so friendly, genuine and helpful. Comfortable, clean, great food and service. Will definitely be back. Thank you The Nest! You have a fab little place and team.

    There was nothing to dislike. Could possibly add a few more hooks for towels etc but it wasn’t essential.

    Fantastic location - right on the beach! The rooms are bright and airy with air conditioning. The whole place has a warm welcoming feeling about it and the staff are so very caring. It feels like a real community there. The evidence is the people who come back there year after year. The food is great too! I would definitely return here and stay longer if I came back to Goa. A big thanks to all the staff, especially Neil 😊

    Everything was perfect for us.

    We loved everything about the Nest! Rooms were comfy & clean, with good aircon, fan & mini fridge. There was also a sitting area outside each room. The location is AMAZING, just walk out of your room & onto the beach with sun loungers available for guests. Onsite restaurant has good food with really big portions! The staff were really amazing & looked after us so well, best service we have had in India for sure.

    The rooms are noisy and rather basic compared to the price.

    Nest is one of our favorite restaurants in Palolem, so we wanted to try the rooms too. They are great if you don`t mind paying a premium to stay at the beach. The neighboring places had some loud music some nights, but otherwise, everything was as expected. Staff are friendly and helpful.

    Loud music almost every day till late night hours. Poor quality of food in the restaurant - we ordered fresh juice instead we got a one from the bottle we suppose.

    The concept of the little house on the beach was amazing. We had a house on the sea front line and it was amazing. Clean and spacious. Lovely and friendly staff, delicious soft drinks. In the hotel complex you can get everyhing you need - a massage, food, manicure, there is also a shop with water, clothes, snacks and beach toys for kids. 10/10 location.

    We loved our stay at The Nest. We had a cabin with a side view of the beach with a comfortable bed, big bathroom with decent shower and aicon and a ceiling fan. The staff were fantastic - friendly, smiling and engaged - we really appreciate them and the owner, Mo. The restaurant does good food, and of course overlooks the beach and sea. I was working some days and it was a joy to work with that view. The internet is ok when working, but this whole area does not have 100% reliable internet, so you have to be patient at times. Between the wifi and my phones 4G, it never caused any issues for me. There are free sunbeds in front of the property on the beach and at night, they set up tables with candles, as do many of the shacks along the beach. We would be delighted to come back!

    Nothing. All good.

    Friendly. Beautiful chilled vibe garden room. Still has an old palolem feel while the rest of the beach are building un necessary luxury sea view rooms which spoil the look of the beach. Superb restaurant and super friendly helpful staff. Would definitely stay again.

    It is not a 5 star resort and that's totally fine. It would be lovely if those touches like the towels were a bit newer, or if the car park entrance area was less of a mess, but none of those things would stop me from coming back or recommending to everyone. Just know that it's a small family run business in India and make sure your expectations match this.

    The Nest is an absolute little gem on Palolem. The layout of the huts is incredible, even from the cheapest and furthest hut you can see the beach. Sand between your toes, plants everywhere, it's just a lovely calm spot. On top of the perfect location, the staff are just out of this world. The friendly, high level of care from the staff is up there with any 5 star hotel out there.

    Menu should have more items, although they never deny to modify as per requirement , No dislikes at all.

    Excellent hospitality with forever smiling staffs, Just on the beach,(sea view from bed) Fully recommended to fellow tourists, you won't regret! Bonus : They also don't charge extra for your kids. Planning a revisit soon.

    The quality of towels could be improved: although they were clean, they seemed to be very old (a couple years?). Perhaps the owner could replace the towels with new ones once in a while? Laundry service was good and affordable, but they spoilt my white pants (brand new) which turned pink. There could be some improvements made to the hotel: it is such a lovely place at prime location, with the kindest staff; but some small renovations and tweaks to quality of products (new towels) and service (like cleaning of rooms every second day) could be provided. The hotel would have much better experience if small investments were made by the owner.

    Lovely stay at Palolem beach. The highlight of the hotel is the staff: very kind and genuinely caring about the clients. They went above and beyond to respond to my needs and requests. Service in Palolem places can be rude at times. At The Nest - they are definitely the kindest! The rooms were clean - top notch - the bathroom also, and hot water was always available. The security is top! Food in the restaurant - excellent! Location at one of the best beaches in Goa where you can swim regardless of the weather and swell. I recommend it warmly!
