My take on JW Marriott Goa Vagator
Marriott has lately been investing on luxury hotels and resorts in India a lot. In September 2021, Marriott announced that it will open six new luxury hotels, with JW Marriott Goa Vagator being one of them. Also, Marriott recently acquired The Leela Goa Resort and rebranded it as The St. Regis Resort, Goa in October 2022.
JW Marriott Goa Vagator seems a great addition to Marriott’s diverse portfolio in Goa. The location of the hotel also seems very good, given its proximity to the exciting nightlife of North Goa while also having great views of the surroundings.
While images of the property available on the hotel’s website are limited as of now, the property’s design looks excellent from the images available, which are also attached in this article.
The hotel comes with a premium branding of JW Marriott, so it sure won’t be cheap either. The popularity of Goa with both domestic and international tourists also adds to the price tag.
