DucknChill-Agonda

Usually I don't bother writing reviews, but since these guys made me sleep on the beach the first night, even though I anounced my late checkin in advance, better think twice about staying here. Asking the owner for co****sation he just brushed it off telling me I could have just sent a whatsapp. Well, upon arrival I called their whatsapp number but nobody bothered to pick up the call. There was not even an apology.

Everything just perfect.

A BIG thank you to Raj, Hrithik, Lucky and Ramesh who looked after me so well during my stay. You were all so kind and friendly towards everyone and you are a credit to the resort

A great location on Agonda beach and a basic room with ceiling fan and outside bathroom, which just basically means there is no roof. Food was good as was the service from the friendly and helpful staff. My reason for marking down on the comfort is due to the nightly dog barking/howling, which seems to affect the whole agonda area so not just isolated to this hotel. There are alot of stray dogs and during the day, no problem but at night typically every night between 3am to 4am all the dogs start to bark and howl, I've never encountered anything like it! Also we're not talking about 3 or 4 dogs, from the sounds of it I'd say 20 - 30 dogs if not more! And it goes on for anything from 30 mins to 1 hour. Even with ear plugs in the noise is an issue making a good night sleep virtually impossible unless you're a heavy sleeper. The area really needs to do something about this, I don't know what can be done but it's very frustrating and annoying for tourists, locals may have got used to it but if you're here on holiday for a few days it could be an ussue. I've stayed the week before in the north of Goa and although plenty of stray dogs, they didn't bark and howl at night like these dogs. Personally because of that I would not come back to Agonda Beach!
