Kingstork Beach Resort

“Amazing Experience......................again ”

Again we visited Kingstork, we consider this a home from home in Goa, our friends often ask us why we always return to the same place as the worlds a big place, well, we know that we will always get a warm welcome, the facilities are wonderful, they are clean, airy, light and well maintained, we ... more

Again we visited Kingstork, we consider this a home from home in Goa, our friends often ask us why we always return to the same place as the worlds a big place, well, we know that we will always get a warm welcome, the facilities are wonderful, they are clean, airy, light and well maintained, we have our rooms cleaned everyday with clean towels and bed linen changed often, all the rooms are great, we often stay on the top floor, we love having a drink on the balcony and watching the world go by, so interesting. You can also stay on the bottom floor, we have stayed there on our last two visits, the advantage of this is that you seem to talk to everyone who goes past or uses the pool, we have made so many friends since we have been visiting Kingstork, friends who we have seen when back in England, everyone are so friendly and in the evening around the bar it's like being in your local pub such is the community feel. Stanley, Ruena and Kyle, we consider as friends and the staff are amazing, all of them could not do enough to make your stay comfortable, we also consider them friends and have had many a good laugh with them, they all work so hard to make your stay an amazing experience. The beach is close and a number of nice restaurants are within walking distance, so the perfect place to just chill and take it easy. I cannot wait to visit again, thinking of Kingstork keeps me going whilst at work!!!!

“Nice hotel - shame about certain guests”

This small hotel is lovely with so friendly and helpful staff, very central for everything, beach , restaurants etc, looks to have a nice pool unfortunately we never got to go in it Sharon who left a previous review is completely wrong, the problem started with one of our party of 4 putting a towel on a vacant sunbed - no mean feat as the towels are on them early morning to evening ,even when the owners of the towels aren’t even in the hotel. One of the guests came out of her room to complain that we had removed her towel, we hadn’t, she then started to shout, then realised she hadn’t actually put her towel on the bed, she then got upset and apologised, this little altercation took place after breakfast about 10am so wasn’t waking everyone up as “Sharon “ stated I spoke to the lady who was upset and she apologised again , we said no problem and proceeded to spend a little time at the pool chatting to the lady , Sharon came out and we could hear her talking about us to other guests - poisonous dwarf comes to mind I don’t go on holiday to have problems with certain guests , from that moment on , as was mentioned “the gated community “ had the pool to themselves, we used the beach It’s a shame as I said it’s a lovely hotel but I certainly don’t need that atmosphere and won’t stay there again, leave it to the guests who block the beds all day, particularly annoying when you see them leave the hotel and don’t return for most of the day Sharon mentioned that we were out of order to use a sunbed, it was vacant but caused problems,we paid to stay at that hotel and use the facilities- hence the comment “gated community “ if your part of that gang, your ok, if not ,then tough - don’t go

“IGNORANT GUEST'S.”

My three friends and I arrived on 7th March for our three week holiday at the Kingstork and were greeted with a warm welcome from Stanley and his wife.

My three friends and I arrived on 7th March for our three week holiday at the Kingstork and were greeted with a warm welcome from Stanley and his wife. The porters took our cases to our rooms on the 1st floor which were clean and airy with a refrigerator, TV and Air-con, we had balconies with pool side views and everything looked great. Our problems started not with Stanley or his staff but the other guests on the six ground floor rooms. Let me explain. These six ground floor rooms were more like a “gated community” and were occupied by the most belligerent, ignorant people I have ever met. They told us that all twelve sunbeds belonged to the six ground floor rooms and we couldn't use them so we asked Stanley and he said all the beds were for all his guest. That didn't make any difference the beds had towels on them every morning, it was easy for them, the beds were right outside their door with their swimwear drying. One of these particular nasty guest suggested we use the sunbeds on the other side of the pool, she meant the ones by the tall bushes and they were all in the shade (the bushes are now a lot taller than the photo's) . These guest seemed to think they had special privileges after staying at this hotel for several years and they would prefer it if you walked on the far side of the pool so you didn't disturb them. I lost count of the times these people would put their towels on the beds and not even stay pool side but leave on sight seeing trips or go shopping for seven or eight hours. Fortunately for us the beach was only 3 minutes walk away but sadly for Stanley the £30 or £40 we spent everyday was going to the beach shack bars and not into the till of the Kingstork bar. I wish Stanley his wife & staff all the best but the next time I visit Goa will not be at the Kingstork.
