Cintacor Island - A Boutique Resort

We stayed here during 22-23 Dec 2024. There is construction all around the rooms (see pics), pungent smell of paint in the room and shower water smells in the bathroom. So basically you can't trust them to get a good experience and will you pay so much to have an experience which may be hot or a miss!

One of THE best underrated stays in INDIA. ONLY PRIVATE ISLAND IN SEA IN INDIA BREATHTAKING VIEWS AND TAKING CARE of your breath kindoff staff Top notch hospitality and minute gestures make your stay memorable Had stayed in S CABIN. Met little earth owner MR Vijay and Mrs Meeta Their modesty and down to earth is inspiring and they literally move stones to keep this heaven safe.

Location: The location of Cintacor Island Resort is simply exquisite. A short 20-minute boat ride from the mainland takes you to this paradise. The island and the resort are breathtakingly beautiful, and the infinity pool overlooking the sea perfectly captures the essence of the stunning images posted online. Rooms: Our stay in the "O" cabin was delightful. The room was impeccably clean, and its sea-facing private balcony offered a mesmerizing view from both the bed and the balcony. The stunning vistas made every moment special. The cabin was spacious enough to comfortably accommodate our family of three. Amenities: The resort's amenities were excellent. The path to the beach was a scenic walk through lush greenery. Although the beach itself is small and not suitable for swimming, the nature trail was the highlight of our stay. Starting in the morning with the help of Mr. Gajendra, our patient, polite, and helpful guide, the trail was a beautiful journey covering most of the island and opening up to several breathtaking viewpoints. This is an experience not to be missed. Additionally, the spa was fantastic, with serene rooms facing the sea and attendants who were masters of their craft. Food: The resort has one restaurant with a limited menu, but everything we tried was delicious and fresh. While the prices were slightly higher, it was understandable given that supplies had to be brought from the mainland. Our compliments to all the chefs, especially Mr. Indrajeet Mondal, whom we had the pleasure of meeting. His amiable nature and delicious food made our dining experience memorable. Staff: The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the staff and their exceptional hospitality. From the boat crew who received us at Karwar Jetty to the security personnel, island manager, transport staff, and restaurant team, everyone was incredibly polite and attentive to our needs. They ensured that we received everything we asked for in the shortest possible time. We've visited beautiful places before, but what set this place apart was the premium service delivered by the staff. Things to Improve: My only suggestion would be to have an outdoor kids' play area, as there is plenty of space available. While they do have indoor games in one clubhouse, some outdoor activities for kids would cater to a wider range of guests, including families with children. Conclusion: Cintacor Island Resort is a beautiful, romantic location rightly called a boutique resort. It is perfect for both couples and families seeking a retreat. The resort's beauty and premium service make it a must-visit destination at least once

A spectacular, complete holiday destination. To understand, one needs to go there. Its so much more than the usual places. Its got excellent food, friendly staff who will pamper you, lots of activities but the best of all is the beauty of the outdoor life. We went for a ride on the jet ski, kayakking, spa, morning nature walk & enjoyed the food like there was no tomorrow. A wonderful place & will definitely be back. Highly recommend for all ages.

Property is well maintained. Staff is extremely good. Missing part is the beach. It has very small beach with less sand and muddy too, hence we dont feel to enter the beach to play. I feel Jungles Dev bagh beach resort is alternate best option where the beach is too good. Another catch would be on food options. When occupancy is less than 50% they will not provide buffet option. In Ala carte they have very limited options. Sales team sold the package with all meals. When we went to restaurant staff mentioned no buffet and sea food is not part of our package. When i contacted sales they are giving weird reason that they are not aware of the rules. But as a customer we will always interact with sales team and they should provide these updates. But restaurant staff was extremely good and served very delicious food which was not part of the menu also. I am very thankful to head chef Mr Hari. My final conclusion incase if you are planning to stay for two days in this property, better to consider atleast one day stay in Jungle lodges Dev Bagh property as both are premium category and you can enjoy Island feel at Cintacor and you can enjoy fun time at beach in Dev Bagh.

Conveniently located, relaxing, comfortable, close to nature yet with all the worldly amenities one would expect. Friendly, helpful, multilingual staff, exquisite service, tasty food, refreshing beverages. Rich history, well preserved with a diversity of flora and fauna, untouched by development yet well-appointed with amenities from an infinity pool to water sports to a lounge including made-to-order libations, soothing music, board games, and comfy seating, tea time, and even a relaxing spa and nature trails. Perfect for a honeymooning or vacationing couple or a family reunion alike. Would definitely go back.
