Little Cove Yoga Retreat

I spent 4 nights here and had a fabulous time. The resort is situated in a private cove. It is quiet, serene, clean and stunningly beautiful. The beauty lies in its simplicity. The yoga and meditation instructors were very knowledgeable and I learned a lot in the few days I was there. My only regret was that I didn’t book a longer stay. All the staff are super friendly and kind. The huts are rustic, but the bed was very comfortable. The drive on the dirt road down to the cove is long and quite washed out. If you arrive at night and can’t see much just know that you are on the correct road!! ud83dude01

We made the booking a few months back and we were really looking forward to our stay here based on a the pictures, reviews and the communication from the resort. My self and my friend booked a separate sea view luxury cottage with the charge of £100/pn. The promise of yoga, meditation, great food, comfortable accommodation, sun and sea were all exactly what we both wanted. We arrived to a 1 hour wait to see or speak to anyone from reception, being reassured by other guests that this is just the vibe of the place, it’s all chill and relax—Ok but we just landed from a 15 hour trip, but ok we’ll wait, it’ll be worth it we thought. They didn’t have the rooms ready and when we finally met someone from reception — this was in the afternoon by now after a mediocre lunch— we saw our rooms as well as 5 others that we had a choice of, the condition and standard were beyond terrible, some worst than others, We ended up with the best two — see my pictures on TA— the rooms were ok, had a lot of insects throughout, but it is a beach resort in India — so fine. But the bathroom had live wire next to a water hose, no hot water, was completely and utterly dirty with ripped towels. When we addressed our concerns they were met with nonchalance. We arranged to get a ride into Agonda and booked into a resort with the exact same facilities, however, they were 100% cleaner and with better service — namely a proper shower and hot water, as well as cheaper at £60 a night, this decision saved our trip and turned it from a nightmare into a dream holiday. The Little Cove have offered us a complete refund minus bank charges and conversions etc. But they need to remove/update their photos to ACCURATELY represent what’s on offer. We felt some of the people staying there didn’t know what was readily available nearby for that kind of budget, I suggest do proper research and don’t settle for anything less then what you want or what you’re used to. Life is for living and enjoying not for settling or roughing it for the sake of it even if you’re in Goa and/or seeking an eco, back to nature experience, there’s plenty of that around Agonda without this price tag or facade.

Beautiful location, incredible food and staff. However, there is no running water so we kept having to ask for them to fill the tank. There is no hot water, so showers had to be carefully planned and were very short. The rooms are also very basic. Given the price, I would have expected a lot more than that. 3.5 stars

The location is wonderful and totally out of the world. Staff is very kind and helpful. Comfort is however basic and the food average in quality but very generously served. Finally, the resident yoga classes were unfortunately rather basic and repetitive. Worth exploring but mainly for the great location.

Beautiful location, very tranquil , great place to de stress. All the team are amazing with delicious food. Yoga & meditation classes were really enjoyable ud83dude01
