I went there in jan feb 2008 for 8 days along with college friends as it was our last semester at college;and we had the best trip of our lives at this hotel .It is centrally located next to Tito's and Mambos the heart of Goan Nightlife..and very good food as well

stayed two weeks at seaview cottages and had a wonderful time, the rooms are basic (as advertised and therefore expected), cleaned daily if required, staff very friendly and courteous,excellant food, nice clean pool, and as it is family run they actually care about what you think, and we were often asked if everything was up to standard(something i dont feel you get in larger establishments). Location is perfect, as it is only 2mins from the beach, and TTos road, which also joins onto the main highstreet, yet had no noise problems at all.

Just got back from staying at the Seaview Cottages,they are clean,basic,in a really great location just short stroll to the beach and even closer to "Tito's Lane" with all the bars, shops and restaraunts.
Seaview Cottages have a pool,small but clean. The "Paradise" restaraunt is not very pleasant to look at but the food is fresh, tasty & good value.Everyone at Seaveiw was very freindly and helpfull.
Used "Captains Cabin" shack on Baga Beach most days, the staff were all great,the food & drink was good value and freshly cooked.All the shacks we used were good as each other although "Bottle Bay" stood out as a bit different....
We didn't book any trips through our tour company, we used the local taxi firm who were really good,reliable and cheaper than the rep... the waterfall & spice plantation is worth doing but the snorkelling trip is not,slow boat trip,no dolphins, few fish,bad visibilty & rubbish on the beach at the island.
Shopping was a memorable experience,the markets aren't always as good value as you think..we used "Newtons" supermarket in Candolim which was really good value especially if you don't like bartering much...All the shops along the main Baga/Calangute road sell a lot of the same stuff but are good to have a browse around.
All in All Baga "Goa" is not the real India but it's great to visit if you like good nightlife, good food, great beach and a laid back lifestyle to totally relax on holiday...

Arrived back yesterday after spending two weeks at Seaview cottages. What's the accommodation like? where do I start!
The rooms are very basic which is okay as Goa is very under developed and there is a lot of Poverty. The rooms are cleaned and sheets and towels changed every day but you need to ask otherwise it doesn't get done. However the walls of the room we stayed in had brown stains on them, which looked gross.
When I booked my holiday they said that the rooms have air conditioning and yes they have but what they don't tell you, is that you will have to pay extra when you get there 400rs a day (approx £4).
On top of that you will also need to pay 150rs a day if you want a fridge in your room and 150rs a day if you would like a television (approx £2). In my opinion it is not worth paying the extras to stay here. You would be better off using the extra £100 and booking into a nicer hotel like CSM.
I met a couple of people you checked out of Seaview after their 2nd day and went to CSM.
Seaview Cottages do not give you a Seaview as the name suggests, you are about a 5 min walk away, which is fine.
On the upside the hotel is in a good location, within 5 min walking distance of the shops, beach, restaurants, bars and clubs.
