Review 4：Great location, friendly and helpful staff, very clean. The small pool on the property is nice, and breakfasts are great - lots of choices and tons of food.
Review 5：This property is in a village setting within walking distance of Benaulim. There is a lovely garden with pool and hammocks and the apartments have everything you need, including constant hot water and what are possibly the most comfortable beds in Goa.Sumptious breakfast cooked to order.If you want somewhere quiet to relax between trips around Goa this is it.
Review 6：No wifi in the room, but strong signal in the garden.
Review 7：Very clean, big room, good peaceful location, beach is not far, friendly staff, delicious food. Bike rental! Great value for money!
Review 8：The only thing that would make this place even more perfect would be a small swimming pool. The wifi was down for a couple of days but some problems can't be helped.
Review 9：Everything. The staff were amazing and the room was wonderful. Great location too.
Review 10：No comments about this...
Review 11：I liked about the place it's very peaceful N all beaches of south goa are near by.. It's better to stay away from beaches on staying any beach not a good idea.. Hotel owner is very cooperative N helpful to you to enjoy your goa trip.
Review 12：Dogs often barked throught the night. Bit much sometimes. Was supposed to have a fitness room but consisted of a treadmill and so sets of 4kg weights! Listing needs to be amended.
Review 13：Location was 15 mins to beach and 10 mins to town where the restaurants are. Tuk tuk can be arranged. If walking bring a torch it's dark at night and taxi etc do go quick. Apartment is spacious and well equipped. We had two single beds pushed together...bottom sheet didn't alway fit! Marina was wonderful friendly and helpful.
Review 14：NOTHING!
Review 15：Room was so spacious and very modern with taste and clean and well kept- they were so friendly and everything I wanted they were able to supply- such a wonderful place you can stay in India and still feel u havnt left home-
Review 16：I moved here from an apartment called Maynard F2 in Benaulim. The change was like chalk and cheese. Whereas the first place had many, many faults, Elegant Shades had none. I extended my stay as I was enjoying the place so much. I would gladly stay there again and recommend it.
Review 17：Nothing
Review 18：The hotel is at a 5-10 minute walk from the beach. Provides excellent room facilities. The break fast was great. Located in a quiet and calm place. Above all, the owners are very friendly and very nice. Everything was a positive.
Review 19：If you are looking for peace and tranquility in a tropical setting, then this is for you. Owner, Marina is very hospitable and helpful without being intrusive. The accommodation is spacious and comfortable. Car or bike rental ( available through Marina ) is advisable but by no means essential. Some shops, bars / restaurants and beach are within walking distance. I can find nothing negative to say; hence my second time here and am sure to return. Many thanks Elegant Shades.
Review 20：Helpful and very nice staff, the speed of solution requirements. The appartment was very clean and spacious with balcony. In the hotel there was backup electrisity. There was new and de luxe A/C and mosquito net. In front of the hotel there was a nice garden. It takes ten minites on foot to the beach and ten minites to the supermarket. Delivery of bottled water in the room.

Review 58：The appartment is superb, absolutly. It is independent bedroom, livingroom with kitchen, amazing bathrom with hot water based on solar panel.The owners are warm and freindly people. We got internet for free, whichsometimes fall down, that is the only discomfort, but since we are inIndia this is so little thing, where wi-fi doesn't work properly atall.
