My stay at the Mercure Devaaya Retreat was nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment we arrived, the warm hospitality of the staff made us feel special. The property itself is stunning and offers a serene escape, perfect for relaxation. The dining options were delightful and the various activities kept my family entertained. While it was an overall amazing experience, I wished for a slightly larger selection in the dining options. Still, the value for money is impressive, and I highly recommend it for a rejuvenating getaway.

Mercure Goa Devaaya Resort is a serene escape on Divar Island, where the natural beauty rivals the luxurious amenities. The rooms are beautifully designed in typical Goan style, providing a peaceful view of paddy fields and the river. The staff are exceptionally warm and attentive, ensuring a comfortable experience. However, the lack of mosquito screens in the patio doors and windows was a bit of a drawback. Overall, it's a perfect getaway for relaxation and wellness.
