| said: This hotel was recommended to us by an English friend who lives in Baga. It truly is an oasis in the mad world that is India. We stayed in a deluxe room which is a little extra cost but well worth it. The hotel has two pools and offers treatments like massage and beauty parlour.
We found the hotel to be extremely clean and staff very helpful. Rooms cleaned and changed daily. The buildings and grounds of the hotel remind you of a bygone era when it was a Portugese colony.
Did not leave any rating for Entertainment as we did not stay at the hotel in the evenings.

The Ronils home now our friends got married on beach at big banna shack when they got back champagne flowers ballons in room, they stayed their wedding night in a 5 star hotel who did nothing for them.

| said: The Ronil Hotel is on the busy main road where there is now to much traffic.
The hotel breakfast area was very dirty, the floor was covered in spillages of food and drinks and not once scrubbed down. This is a 3* hotel and we expected the standards to be a bit better.
The pools were not filtered so were like still water covered in a layer of dirt and sun oil, we therefore never once used them.
The room was cramped with no room either side of the bed for a small table or drawers. The half-wardrobe was small and with little storage or drawer space. We have been to 2* hotles ib Goa with better faccilities. The balcony was tiny with two fixed seats in either corner but no room for a table in between. No chance to enjoy sitting outside with a drink early evening.
The only redeeming feature was the food and service at the evening meals, with some fairly good entertainment. The sting in the tail though is that two taxes and a service charge are added to your bill. We still tipped the waiters as this didn't go to them.
The room cleaners were a pain, always hanging around waiting for you to appear each morning. We asked that our room was left a few times with only towels being changed, and on one such day returned mid-morning to find the male cleaner in our room watching TV!! We tipped three different male cleaners, but didn't feel comfortable with any of them in our rooms.
We have been going to Goa for many years but wouldn't stay in Baga ever again or reccomend this hotel.
Not pleased at all with this hotel or the busy main road it was located on. Rooms were tiny and dark, with little storeage space or shelves or worktops to put toiletries etc.

| said: We were there for 3 weeks and the majority of the time had to ask for tea or coffee in the morning with breakfast. Breakfast staff and bar staff not all that friendly and as stated in a previous review, watch your bar bill.
Location is good with shops, eating places and beach on doorstep.
The food tasted good and the voucher system is easy to use, however my husband ended up with very bad stomach ache the day before we flew home, was it food at the hotel? we don't know, but he did have a seafood dish.
The entertainment was good and bad. The mime artist is funny but as for the rest of the entertainment we saw it wasn't all that brilliant.
Would we visit Goa again, most definitley but not Ronil Beach.

| said: We stayed for two weeks at ths hotel.
It was clean but basic, the only thing missing in the room was a fridge! airr con was free and a nice relief
Staff were ok not over friendly, but the week we arrived it was fairly quiet and we met some interesting and friendly couples.
Watch your bar bill as a few times we we presented with a bill that showed drinks we never had!
This happened about four times! and we even got some broken glass in a glass of tomato juice!! is that what they call extras? Vouchers are given for food that you could use for lunch or evening meal, which was great but the resturant manager was cross when we presented it after we had asked for the bill!! It seemed that when you give in the voucher the meals are smaller!! Not a real problem though as appetites are not great in that heat!!
There are limited sunbeds and they really could do with buying some new ones! But if you slip the pool attentant 30 rupees he will save you your favourite beds!!!
The Jewel in the Crown rep was not around as much as other reps like first choice which was probably as well as my other half was so angry with him after a trip we did!!!!

| said: This was our third visit in four years. There are new rooms since last year, however, these come at a premium rate now, much to our surprise. Feel that the hotel is begining to rely on its past performance too much now, the original rooms need some investment to bring them on a par with the new blocks now if they want people to return.
Breakfast choice still excellent, don't need to eat much after this during the day. The voucher system for the meals is flexible as it means you can use these for snacks or an evening meal - and get a small bottle of wine too!
The location is right amongst it, a short stroll to the beach. There is some development of shops going on across the road, not that it needs it, it's fine as it is. A couple of small bars around, with the tibetan market stalls just over the road.
The staff never seem to change, the boys who clean the rooms are especially helpful, nothing is too much trouble for them. Also the reception staff - some appear grumpy but you have to get to know them. The hotel manager mingles about with the guests, and has been know to cook a meal for some people.
There is local entertainment every night around the pool which serves as the restaurant area, it's very relaxing, variety of groups.
Although we have had really good holidays at the Ronil we now feel we need to have a change, and will be trying out somewhere in Arpora next.

| said: Great hotel in a perfect location.
Rooms are basic but that's all you need as don't spend a lot of time there. Cleaned every day and fresh towels.
Food was excellent especially the sea food.
Staff were okay not overly friendly but I think they had just had enough as we went last two weeks of the season. Louis hotel manager was great though and couldn't do enough for you.
They had entertainment on most nights not really our cup of tea as in our early 30's more the club singer variety probably more suited to the older clientele.
I would definitely recommend this hotel and stay there again, couldn't get a better location everything on your doorstep.

| said: We had a good room overlooking the Pool, but unfortunately the pool was not very clean with twigs and flies in it. The staff were ok, not too friendly.
The food was nothing special either.
I have been to India 3 times, and I am going again soon, I would not stay there again.

| said: We've stayed several times at The Ronil Beach. The staff are amazingly helpful and polite. Service is first class.
The food is also very good but the bar prices can be a bit steep by Indian standards.
Rooms are adequate but basic, the ones around the front pool are best. Linen and towels are changed daily and although standards of cleanliness are not up to European standards, they are acceptable.
The Ronil gets a very high level of repeat business so I guess that says something!

| said: Cleaned daily, in a fashion. Room at back of Hotel looked out onto a wall, dark, damp no sunlight at all.
Food very Good.
Location excellent for shops, bars and restaurants.
Quite surley, not very helpful.
Too many fab restaurants/bars to stay in every night.
But what we saw was not so good.
Have visited Goa twice a year for the last 12 years and have stayed at many hotels during this time. We now stay at the Majestic Inn on the Calangute/Baga Road. The lads there are just incredible and pleasant, will do anything for you and be happy doing it.

| said: The hotel itself is clean and the staff are really nice
Only had one bad thing happen and that was the room we were first given. It was way at the back of the complex and the only view we had was of a huge brick wall that overshadowed us making everything dark and just depressing looking. We went and complained and the person on the desk promised us he would move us in 3 days, which he did, into a fab room overlooking the pool. Apart from this we had a great holiday there and there were no bad feelings between us and the staff at all, in fact they helped us in many ways like recommending an excellent taxi driver who took us everywhere and was so cheap to use.
The food in the restaurant was A1 even the salads didn’t give us any trouble. In fact everywhere we ate was amazing.
We had all our laundry done and couldn’t believe it was so cheap and everything was clean spotless and ironed to perfection.
We are going again in a weeks time and have faxed ahead to ask for a room in the front of the complex with a pool view if possible so fingers crossed.
If you want a clean safe and friendly hotel I would recommend the Ronil beach.
