Mobor Beach Resort

I know this hotel is only a 2 star but was still somewhat disappointed.
Our room was tiny no air con just a small ceiling fan, which looked as if was about to fly off at any minute.
The 2 towels looked as if they had been through a 1000 washes very threadbare. The shower, when it eventually got warm, you had to run around in to get wet, not a power shower.
I’ve been to India 9 times now but have never been bitten as bad as in this hotel. I thought it might have been in the bed sheets but could not be sure.
What small cupboard space we had smelt damp and musty. No TV or fridge in room you had to rent them per day.
One night I shut the sliding door onto the balcony and the catch fell down locking us out, after about 1hr of shouting 2 waiters came over the other balconies, telling us there were no spare keys to the rooms and we had to climb over 3 balconies to get to a room that was free.
Being on the 3 floor it was very dangerous, we spent the night in a spare room and a locksmith was called in the morning.
The staff were friendly enough but a bit on the slow side at times.
We had booked for a month but had to move over the road after 2 weeks at a further cost of £1200.
The one good thing was, they had a good supply of Castle beer at the hotel bar which was hard to get elsewhere.
Will return again but just for a beer and to see little Phil.

This is our fourth year at Mobor Beach resort, it just gets better and better. The new road from the resort to the beach makes it much easier to get there.
The shacks lining the main road down into town, have all been removed and the area tidied up, so there is no hassle to go into the "shops" every time you pass.
The beach shack GG's, serves the most wonderful food and has a great atmosphere, as does the Port O call pub within the complex.
All the staff at the resort are very friendly and extremely helpful, the rooms are cleaned and fresh linen provided on a daily basis.
I would thoroughly recommend this resort for a friendly relaxing holiday.

I studied all previous reviews for Mobor beach resort, I think they are generally accurate. However there is no mention of the sewage plant close by, or the building work on either side of the hotel, or the new road which is being built behind the hotel, (for access to the beach).
Red dust from the road works in every nook and cranny in the hotel generally and on walls in the room. Brown water which comes from the washbasin taps and toilet flush. From our hotel room balcony there were views of the rear of the traders "shops", plastic sheets for walls etc, the road workers accommodation, which were galvanised corrugated sheds, used for sleeping, washing and toilets.
We had to pass all the traders when going out during the day or night, each one sending their children to beg you to visit their "shops", once or twice is ok, not every time you pass though. Never to return.

Hotel was really well placed for sight seeing with excellent facilities onsite such as tailors, gift shop, bar and restaurant. It was always spotlessly clean. Staff were very helpful and respectful. Nothing was too much trouble from the cleaners to the waiters to the management. Food in the hotel was high quality and very large portion. Although their idea of a salad was slightly different to mine... Sister restaurant Gaffino's was nice but thought it was a bit dark.
The hotel pool is small but always really clean. Bar staff were quick and efficient at all times especially Mario the head waiter. Prices in the hotel were excellent unlike in the UK!
The beach was a short walk away and was really lovely golden sands with FREE sun loungers and brolleys. The hotel were just building their own private area with a beach hut & shop. Hope Judy & staff managed to get everything up and running. We are going back again in Nov this year to see how things have progressed.
Hotel & area surrounding not really suitable for disabled visitors but the brochure did warn of this.
The bus trips and Tuk Tuk rides are something else and should be done at least once during your stay... As was the spice plantation and the trip to the elephants.
The Mobor beach is highly recommended and I would stay here anytime.

We both stayed in Gaffinos Cavelossim for 14 days and can say that it is a brilliant guest house /hotel the restaurant is superb catering for all different tastes. With only a ten minute walk down to the beach.
Rooms are cleaned daily the staff are very helpful. There is every thing you need for a brilliant stay.
Feb 2005 we are going to stay in Mobor beach resort Cavelossim just to compare the two.

The Mobor beach resort and its staff are delightful.
Both the rooms and the general environment of the hotel are impeccably clean and the proprietors and the staff become friends in a very short space of time.
The village itself has a number of very good and reasonably priced restaurants to choose from as does the beach with its many beach shacks, all serving quality food at great prices with friendly service.
Don't miss the firework parties on the beach, usually on Thursday, the one at Seaways beach shack is, in my opinion, the best of all but most are pretty good.
This hotel is a great place to go to and one I go back at least once a year, frequently several times a year.

Myself and family have stayed at Mobor Beach Resort many times, it's just the best. The staff are a delight, and treat you as friends, not just guests, nothing is too much trouble. The location is perfect, it's clean, well run, lovely views from the terraces and Cavelossim is an ideal spot, lots to do, fantastic places to eat, we are proud to say that we have made such good friends not only at the hotel but in the restaurants and beach shacks locally, our favourite spot on the beach is Seaways, here Julio and Mario will make you very welcome, and do go to the beach party!!

100% fantastic. Staff could not do enough to make you happy, and so friendly. Like they have known you forever and never forgot your name. Food very good, accommodation spotless clean. Beach within walking distance.
May not be suitable for people with walking difficulties as there are no lifts. Just wish I found it years ago the experience was excellent (we go again next feb 2006 for 21 nights that’s how much we enjoyed it) you don’t know what your missing!
