Goa is one of those cities that one can never say no to visiting. It serves as the perfect tourist destination and helps provide a much-needed break from the everyday monotony of life. While every tourist looks forward to the city's premier nightlife and pristine beaches, it wouldn't be half as enjoyable if your place of stay wasn't comfortable. To truly enjoy a staycation, staying at a property that provides comfort and caters to all your travel needs is a must. If you're someone who's planning to visit Goa anytime soon, look no further and book your stay at the newly-launched Ibis Styles, Vagator. This hotel will truly let you unwind in style and make your stay in the city a memorable one.
Launched by Interglobe Hotels in partnership with Accor, it is the second property of Ibis Styles in Goa. It is strategically located in North Goa and is in close proximity to popular beaches, tourist attractions, and famous restaurants and cafes. It is also just a short ride away from Goa's new MOPA airport. Whether you're a business or a leisure traveller, this property serves the needs of both. While it is named a hotel, it is designed as a resort and offers the perfect blend of tradition and modernity.

Ambience And Interiors
This blend of tradition and modernity is reflected perfectly in the overall ambiance and interiors of the hotel. As soon as you step inside, there's a sense of vibrancy and playfulness that permeates the entire space. Whether it's in their restaurant, rooms, lobby, or even the banquet hall, they all feature shades of different colours blended together, offering a true Goan vibe. The hotel makes you feel like you're in Goa in the truest sense. All the rooms and public areas are adorned with beautifully-curated contemporary artwork by emerging artists. The modern and chic interiors create the perfect artistic atmosphere in every corner for the guests to enjoy. The interior of the rooms is also designed keeping Goa's vibrant culture in mind as you'll notice beautiful ombre-coloured curtains and bright coloured walls that instantly lift your mood.
Accommodation
The rooms at Ibis Styles provide the ultimate modern comfort for their guests. The hotel has 142 rooms in total that are all quite captivating in their own way. We stayed in a stunning green-coloured room that had their signature 'Sweet Bed', which was quite large and comforting, providing a restful night's sleep. The room had an attached balcony that offered a view of the hotel's pool. It also featured an aesthetic bathroom with all the essential facilities. The rooms on the other side of the hotel had a beautiful garden view. Apart from the rooms, the hotel has modern and stylish conference and banquet facilities that can accommodate up to 100 guests for those seeking to celebrate a special occasion or event. The conference hall facing the garden is an ideal location to host large social gatherings, corporate events, or any other such events.
Food And Drinks
Ibis Styles Vagator has an all-day dining restaurant named 'Spice It'. The food served here is sure to tantalise your taste buds. It also provides the longest breakfast hours from 4 am to 12 pm, making it convenient for guests as per their needs. The breakfast buffet features a wide range of delicacies and beverages which will ensure that you kick-start your day on the perfect note. Coming to the lunch and dinner buffet, which was specially curated for us by the chef, had an impressive range of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. From chicken chettinad, ambur biryani, paneer lababdar, dal fry, paneer chilli, and more, there's something to suit every palate. My personal favourite was the ambur biryani that offered a burst of flavour in every mouthful, and I highly recommend you to try it. For desserts, we were spoiled for choice. We tried classic Goan sweet delights such as the bebinca and pinag, which were truly delectable. Apart from this, you should not miss trying their elaneer payasam as well.

The hotel also has several other facilities such as a fully equipped gym, an amphitheatre, and an outdoor swimming pool. We were truly mesmerised by the poolside area which also had a bar right next to it. It serves as the perfect place to unwind while sipping on refreshing drinks. The gym had all the essential equipment, making it perfect for guests who are fitness enthusiasts. Apart from this, the hotel personnel were too attentive and made sure to attend to your needs whenever required. Ibis Styles Vagator is the perfect place to truly unwind in style while you enjoy picturesque surroundings, vibrant interiors, modern comfort, and several other facilities.
