It is a great little places on the edge of Calangute on the right hand side going towards Candolim, before you get to After Seven.

hi meagain
have you stayed there

Hi Dragon

Yes we have stayed there three times in the last ten years.

The last time was about seven years ago with another couple on their first visit to Goa and we all had a great three weeks and they have been back again.

I would say it is a bit better than the typical basic goan hotel but it does seem to get mixed reviews.

I read somewhere that Thomas Cook customers apparently get better rooms than Jewel in the Crown but we never had a bad room with Hays & Jarvis. We was always on the 1st floor and over looking the pool

I have sent you a PM with some more a links to reviews.

The last poster may well be right, when we stayed there a few years ago, travelling with Jewel In The Crown, we certainly had a back room, overlooking a bare yard with pigs, chickens etc. One of the pigs was lying dead one morning, we worried it may have choked on Papaya skins that we threw down to it. We watched the burial with interest. The next mornings burial was a cat, stiff as a board. Where else but Goa could you get entertainment like this from your balcony, all for free !! Alan
