My stay at Zense in Goa had its ups and downs. While the rooms were clean and comfortable, I was disappointed that the lounge area was often empty and the bar was closed. The reception staff was exceptional, but I encountered a strange smell in the bathroom. Overall, the experience was mixed, with great room cleanliness but a lack of amenities to enjoy during the stay.

I recently spent some time at the Zense Resort in Goa. The rooms were quite cozy and spacious, and I appreciated having a comfortable balcony. However, the breakfast options were very limited and the dining prices felt a bit high. The location was good, just a short bike ride from the beach, but the service left something to be desired, particularly in the kitchen and housekeeping departments.

My stay at the hotel was quite a mixed bag. The location is pretty decent, right in Candolim, making it easy to access nearby attractions. The rooms were spacious and clean, but the service left a lot to be desired. The dining experience wasn't the best, especially during breakfast, which was often frustrating. Overall, some aspects were pleasant, but there is significant room for improvement.
