Awesome views of the Arabian Sea with small islands off the coast of Karwar (near Goa). Beautiful sunsets at the poolside or even the beach. Terrific personalized services by the staff
Housekeeping could improve and fruit basket in the room everyday would be welcome.

Location, sunsets, staff, pool. The main guy in the reception was the best, allowed us a late check out as our bus was at 9pm and we had a toddler along with us.
Value for money , no bathtub for the price paid, no hair dryer , food could’ve been better.

The property is brilliant. Views are unbelievable and it very well maintained. Food was exceptional and the staff was very good as well.
Just a couple of small things. Given that the property is charging us premium rates, they could throw in a few facilities for free, like a meal, or water activities.
Secondly it's not a great idea to have a male attendant for women's spa.

The location. A private island 20 mins away the mainland. A pool with the most gorgeous views. The food. And the staff led by Sarafin who did everything could, including lowering the tariff for both the room because they had to offer us a lower category room for a night after an A/C malfunction
For the price we had paid, we were expecting luxury. What we got was shabby rooms that had the feel of a backpackers’ lodge.

The island is beautiful, well maintained, well preserved the natural beauty.
The prices were exorbitant and staffs won't give you a clear picture that spa, water sports all are chargeable and not included in the package of the stay

It’s a beautiful island with comfortable accommodation and excellent food. There are many activities for enthusiasts, both indoor and outdoor( beach and swimming). My family and I enjoyed our time relaxing and playing a few indoor board games. There are golf carts for you to move around the property, they can be called for easily, as most places are guarded.
The beach is a bit rocky and not swim friendly, but you could sit by these rocks and collect shells. The water is shallow but please be careful as there are rocks.
How to reach: we drove from Bangalore to Karwar and took the ferry, that was organized by the resort, which took us about 15-20 mins to reach the island.We parked our car at designated place provided by the resort.
The only con: Was the air conditioner which wasn’t functioning and was smelly. However, the technician was called and the ac was fixed..
They may want to consider replacing their AC unit

fantastic location with blue sea around view. Great food. staff extraordinarily good. Sarafin the man in charge was there helping and advising, Nitin Bindra the man in charge of the restaurant Nemo’s Deck was spot on and the Chef Madhusudan was pampering us with amazing food preparations: Food for the Gods. The rooms were superb in design. our villa was one with a 180 degree view of the ocean. it was absolute Paradise on earth. Bo problems re Electricity or water. The infinity pool was gorgeous. The Beach was Great for water sports. Trekking was not tiring and Subhash was there as your guide and leader on the treks.
No complaints at all.

Special mention of Sunil and Cerafin,who are very down to earth persons and did accomodate every small damn request of us..A huge shoutout to all the gracious staffs of Cintacor!
May be bit of cleanliness of the rooms.Management can start buffet also as being a star resort..

Absolutely everything, right from reaching the ferry, to jumping to their boat, and the dolphin spotting en route. The expectations rise as you near the island, and all you can see is jungle, few ruins of an old fort, and a couple of small roofs. The rooms and the morning view of the sea from the bed is all I could come to this place again for. And enjoying a spa overlooking a 180 deg view of the sea is another wonderful experience.

During checkout they added children charges extra which was included during booking

Everything else that has been answered...location, staff, food, ambience..
We thought that management could harvest SOLAR POWER , instead of running the resort on Genset 24x7 . This could avoid air pollution n burning of fuel..

The entire experience was flawless. Right from the arrival at Karwar to the departure from Karwar. The rooms were well done. The bath and wash areas were absolutely clean and well maintained. All hygiene and covid-19 protocols were strictly adhered to at all times. The F&B options are limited but the food was lip smacking. A big shout to the entire team of Cintacor Island Resort for making it a memorable stay.
PS: if you are looking for a typical 5 star stay with loads of options then kindly stay away. This is best for those looking for an experience and just chill the hell out without the hustle bustle of the daily.
Given the current pandemic environment, honestly they did everything they could.
However, a tiny interior detail to be reconsidered from its functionality and design point of view would be the hanging lamps on either side of the beds over the side chest tables. They are dangerously low and for a taller person might hinder in movement or more importantly might be physically injurious to the guest.
