    Not a negative but to be aware. Once there it is remote (yet another perk), with food and drink around 3x regular Goa prices.

    The surroundings, facilities and accommodation are fantastic. The staff are excellent and can’t do enough to help with every detail thought of and taken care of. It truly does feel like a luxury resort in a wonderful location.

    We liked everything. just a suggestion, as we love Indian music and it is also varied like the food, would be so amazing if the playlists in the restaurant were also tuned to each region with local songs. Also as European we like to eat outside because we have the whole winter to get cold, and maybe the sitting area outside is a bit less nice than the rest of the hotel. However, we enjoyed each of our meal with view on the garden. Daily specials propositions from the chefs would also be nice to let them show us their creativity and discover other dishes. But this is again just a suggestion because the menu is amazing as it is and as for now, you can ask anything you wish to eat, which is also kind of amazing.

    We loved everything and especially the staff who were all excellent and kind and went above and beyond to make our stay a dream. One of our favourite stay of all time for sure. - the proprety is very well maintained, with gardeners making a fantastic job. The garden is just beautiful. - the rooms are amazing, perfectly cleaned, beds so relaxing, shower great, view beautiful. Loved the "mini bar" with new pastries everyday, free tea and coffee. Every day the housekeeping staff makes your room fresh. The amenities Forrest essential products smell so nice. - delicious breakfast,evertime and anytime!! As we don't like to eat in the morning, this was just pure bliss for us. The offer is just delicious. It was some of the best breakfast in our life. - delicious local recipies. We loved that the hotel is so tuned with the region and that every postcards adapts the menu to where it is located. We love food and this is also a reason why we are in India. Therefore we were more than glad to see the food offer and no impersonal international Hotel food that makes you feel you could be in Dubai, Paris or Rio. Also the cook Aryan was so kind and offered to cook a receipe of our choice. We chose a kashmiri receipe we try to do at home "dum aloo" and he did it so well, we were super happy. In retrospect, I wish we would have asked his personal signature dish because he was super talented. - I took a massage and Muskan is really a talented masseuse as well. It was amazing. - Once again thank you to the staff who made our stay so nice. We could not ask the name of everyone because it would have been a bit weird maybe, but thanks to Mulong who took care of us at the pool and restaurant, Ravi and Krutik at the restaurant - and all the other waiters we did not ask names of, all kind and smiling, and the excellent reception staff who welcomed us like royals.

    We loved the rooms and the grounds. There are separate little houses that you reach by small electric vehicles. It was quiet except for monkeys and birds. Rooms were beautifully and tastefully laid out and decorated. Amenities- soap coffee etc were world class. We did a couples massage and facial that was out of this world. I am sad I can’t find the name of the two women who did it for us to report- management if you see this please respond and add to this review. The food was well prepared and delicious. We made a few food requests and they were added to the menu next day. The service was ubiquitous yet unobtrusive. Tips are included in the price which I like as it removes another potential stressor. I also enjoyed the swim up bar at the pool. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

    Despite being available when we arrived we were not given the room with a better view due yo a local repeat guest who was due to arrive later.

    Excellent location. South Eastern Goa. Hidden in the corner of Goa amidst wildlife parks. Great connectivity yet almost no tourists. Food menu was limited but quality was wonderful. The staff was super helpful and friendly.

    Prices marked up for excursions was quite high and more sunbed around the pool would be recommended.

    We had an incredible three night stay at the Postcard Hideaway resort. The staff were extremely accommodating, with special mentions to Rishi who was contactable via Whatsapp for our every need. We also booked a couples massage and facial with Rose and Muscan, who were incredible. We were so relaxed I fell asleep it was that good!! We loved the option to have breakfast at any time and ability to amend our checkout time. They went the extra mile for our anniversary with decorations and cake also. And the views are unbeatable!!

    Towards the end of our stay the service lagged a little in our room, and the menu was expensive. Transport to and from the hotel is limited and expensive.

    The location is stunning, the staff were welcoming and friendly, the forest and nature was amazing, with langur monkeys, a huge variety of birds, lizards and butterflies all around our room each day. Some beautiful places to explore (on foot, bike or car) all around. They have a good menu but also cook anything you like off the menu as well (providing they have the ingredients). Nice pool. Lovely Yoga sala. Great place to unwind and reconnect.

    Beautiful place in the middle of the jungle to escape to. Staff were exceptional. Very much somewhere to go with a good book and relax for a couple of days by the pool. The local spice farm was great, we borrowed bikes and cycled there. We also had a great couples massage.

    Nothing that we didn’t like. Everything was amazing The fact that Postcard Natravelli can market themselves better because the hospitality team there is doing an amazing job. Additionally, the property has great opportunities ti add more - outdoor seating (small tables, chairs, benches), organize or guide guests on short hikes around the property - nothing touristy as such but ways to enable guests to walk around the resort. Evening dinners can be organized in forests, live singing or goan cooking etc etc. all these are suggestions to make the property thrive a bit more.

    This off-beat, non-beach property nestled amidst forests is a treat to the eye. The drive from airport to the property is so beautiful & calming. I would reccomend you do get a morning/afternoon flight so you can enjoy it all. Once you reach Postcard, you are greeted with a positive welcome from the team & you leave for your cottage. The cottage is so well designed, clean & the postcard team makes sure you enjoy it in peace. The refreshments in the room, bathrobes, bath & haircare brands - all are well selected & presented. The food is great, the concept of the resort is ‘forget time’ - there are no breakfast hours, no check-ins & outs & that makes it so relaxing. A no-deadline vacation! I loved the fact that Postcard displayed trust in their guests & showed immense care & gratitude through all their gestures- one small example is free gifts everyday in the room. Simranjeet, Aditya , the guard at entrance, late night staff at reception- all display top-notch professionalism & they seem to be happy in their jobs. Kudos to their service! Overall, if you are not a tourist who wants to unwind, relax , is not impatiently looking for ‘what next’ everyday & wants to enjoy clean , simple food - this place is for you.

    We were asked repeatedly what could be improved, but we could hardly come up with anything. It truly is this special.

    The Postcard Hideaway Netravali is truly outstanding and unforgettable. In fact, we had planned to only spend 3 nights here but extended our stay, unable to leave this place for another accommodation because we had fallen in love with the surroundings (lush tropical gardens filled with exotic birds, friendly Hanuman langures and beautiful flowers which created natural scents all around), the flawless and welcoming service and hospitality and the sense of privacy due to the small numbers of villas and their secludedness. Watching the wildlife from the balcony overlooking a breathtaking mountain range was a pleasure onto itself. Every wish we had was granted, amongst the many lovely touches was the possibility to check out as late as we wanted (of which we had to take full advantage since our plane left in the morning hours the following day), every day turndown service was accompanied with a gift to take home, generously we were also given a free hosted dinner and many price reductions (like for instance a great price on a bottle of wine so that I would not overspend on wines by the glass). I know, this might sound overly enthusiastic- but I truly never experienced this level of generosity and care in any of the many luxury properties I had visited prior. Some might find the lack of television or minibar in the room a fault, but it suited us perfectly. One day we did a tour with a naturalist who had a masters in Biodiversity and showed us around the Netravali nature reserve. This 3 hour tour really changed my way of taking note of small wonders of the jungle and I took a new appreciation away from the experience. The food is also fantastic, breakfast can be had anytime throughout the day, the menu options are not extensive but what is on offer is beautifully executed. If you come to Goa- do not miss this location.

    The bed was a little too soft for us. The food and drinks were very expensive, way above what you would find in other 5 stars as well. Not all rooms come with views of the hills and our room patio didn't have much of a view.

    Great location for a secluded, quiet, and slow vacation. Lots of greenery around and some amazing service by each member of the staff. Food was surprisingly excellent, and one could order from outside their menu as well which helped, considering we traveled with a 4.5 year old.
