LIQUOR POLICY
Liquor would be served to individuals only above the age of 18. At the hotel, we have a 24hr liquor license for the hotel.
DESTINATION FOR DOMESTIC MICE
Corporates do not mind splitting rooms with other nearby hotels (of the same star) to accommodate a large group. The Goa International Airport in Dabolim is very well connected with flights.
