Fort Tiracol Heritage Hotel

Staying in 17th century Historical Fort is just priceless luxury experience We celebrated our Anniversary week at this Fort and we enjoyed every second and every minute of this place . What a stunning views of the Arabian Sea and local river mixing together is a must watch of the spectacular show by nature . Our Room “Wednesday “ is cute and unique with a beautiful balcony to just gaze at the ocean and spend countless hours . The Tavern restaurant chefs are 5 star professional chefs .I think Sravan cooked us some delicious food and we enjoyed every meal at this restaurant. Big shoutout to SAGAR who has been awesome host at the restaurant.His attention to detail is so loving and caring .He even arranged a candle light dinner for our celebration.Such a wonderful human being. Special shoutout to Philip,Caraciol , Sucorin who are awesome What a wonderful gesture by the manager with the cake for the anniversary. Don’t miss the heritage walk by Angelo he is a such a genuine sweet guy who tell all the stories of the place. From New Manohar Airport it’s quite a long way so better arrive early when there is some light in the sky otherwise I don’t recommend anyone to arrive in night time as you need a ferry to cross to go to this fort . Don’t miss this Fort if you are in goa it’s a masterpiece of history experience with spectacular ocean views and luxury stay

Just bliss from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. A total gem on the very North tip of Goa. Amazing views across the bay. You can eat breakfast , lunch and dinner outside looking across the bay. Delicious food. You can walk down to the bay and catch a ferry across to a beach where there’s a few beach restaurants . Overall , I would thoroughly recommend a stay here

Our stay at Fort Tiracol Heritage Hotel was a fantastic experience. The village of Tiracol is located ***** the coast at the northern most tip of Goa and at the Goa Maharashtra border. The property is a 400+ year old Portuguese era heritage fort that's been restored and converted to a resort. At this property you can certainly experience solitude and peace from the crowded, noisy and often quite chaotic mainstream beaches of Goa. There are only 7 rooms (so book early) and one in house Bar and Restaurant that serves up local and continental fare. All rooms face the sea and located atop the cliff offer fantastic views of the sea and estuary and sea breeze. Two beaches are close to the property - Redi located in Maharashtra and Querim beach located within Goa. All rooms are well appointed with en suite wardrobes , well decorated bathrooms , locker and room service. The staff are very friendly and helpful at all times. The restaurant food is good. If you need more food options, there are 2-3 local restaurants within a 5 mins driving distance. You can also take some of the activities like the heritage walk, or the yoga session. I would definitely recommend this place for those seeking something away from the mainstream and some peace and quiet retreat.

We stayed for a couple of nights in this beautiful heritage hotel, just to chill. The location is glorious, with fabulous views across the river and the sea towards Arambol. This historic fort has just seven rooms, all slightly different and named after the days of the week. Our room was quite large with a huge en-suite bathroom and dressing room. Befitting the ambiance, the room was furnished with period furniture: a huge four poster bed, beautiful mirrors etc., but of course with all the modern amenities and an excellent shower. The views from our room were enchanting, and we had a nice little terrace/balcony. The staff were so hospitable and amiable, nothing was too much trouble. The fort is set in a nice little compound, complete with an old Portuguese church and the lovely Tavern Restaurant and Terrace (separate review to follow). There is not a lot to do, apart from a couple of nice walks; it is a little bit remote. It was ideal for us as we just wanted to relax for a couple of days and enjoy the atmosphere. If you want to stay longer and explore the area you would need a car or at least a scooter (and keep in mind that the ferry is dependent on the tides). Ideally, I would have loved a pool. Apparently that is planned, and they want to build a modern hotel on an adjacent field. I just hope it won’t destroy the uniqueness of this charming boutique hotel.

Always a great stay very helpful staff and clean rooms we have been coming here every year for one day or two days. Only difference this year is the food quality has gone bad

Not a luxury experience at all. The room, Monday, is basic to say the least. Stained toilet seats, open wire in the bathroom and bad maintenance. Even after complaining there was no apology from the manager. The only good thing about this place are the views and the staff who are mostly from the local village. Considering that this property costs the same as a Taj or W, I would never come here again. Super disappointed.

The setting is absolutely stunning, with panoramic views of the Lake. The rooms are comfortable and clean, and the staff went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. A truly unique experience staying in a historic fort. Gursharan is a great host as hotel manager there."

Me and my wife visited Fort Tiracol for lunch in March 2024 followed by a lazy afternoon. It was highly recommend by a friend who stayed there and our experience was absolutely brilliant. Firstly getting there is fun — we had to cross over into Maharashtra and re-enter Goa and the drive is quite nice. There is a ferry service too which does not require you to cross over into Maharashtra but it was shut that day because of the tide. Fort Tiracol Hotel allows you to be inside Goa and still be away from the hustle bustle. The Fort by itself is beautiful - there is the hotel part which has 7-8 rooms and a nice courtyard and a church inside the complex. New rooms are getting constructed. Amenities are good. We had lunch which was super - we went by the recommendations of the chef. The restaurant area has the most breathtaking view of the sea that Goa has to offer. After lunch, the manager took us for a tour around the property. The rooms have an old world charm and a great sea view. Many of them have balconies where you can just sit and relax and soak in the view of the sea and enjoy the breeze. Ideal to stay at this property for a day or two and then head back into the endearing chaos that Goa has to offer.

Fantastic hotel. Exceptional staff, they are very friendly, attentive and helpful. The food is absolutely delicious, fresh and well presented. The seafood salad was especially good, and all the desserts! The views are just beautiful. Everywhere was spotlessly clean. Possibly the comfiest best I’ve ever slept in - definitely better than my own bed at home! I highly recommend staying here, it is like no where else in Goa. I came for 2 nights with a friend and it was the best idea we had. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
