There's a youthful vibe that awaits you when you enter the boutique resort Ronil Goa-Part of JDV by Hyatt. That is once you meander through some loud touristic chatters, an amazing number of cars as only can be seen in India and a line-up of shopping lanes selling beautiful local handicrafts.

Surprise, once you enter the lobby you will find it difficult to believe this oasis is right at the heart of North Goa which is the hub of tourists.

There's no formal looking corporate executive waiting to check you in, instead you are led to the bar right in the lobby by a smiling bartender serving you the welcome drink and yes, you can choose your poison. Begin the quintessential Goa vibe right from the lobby itself.

Once you are checked in you are directed to your room before, which you cross the beautiful pool lined up with the cabanas. This you will realise, will be the heart of the resort where you might end up spending most of your holidays. Grab a glass of delicious frozen Goan Urak cocktail made with fermented cashews before you sink into those lounges enjoying the music played by their in-house DJ Maria.

Although Ronil has a history of 35 years, it was only recently taken over by JDV by Hyatt upgrading it from budget friendly to a luxury boutique resort. This is Hyatt's newest gift to Goa and stands sparkling with a vibe that is so very Goa including fun activities the amazing cuisine and the music.

The seafood barbecue is a must try here that can be rounded off with their delicious churros. The bistro is where all the culinary magic happens. It's their restaurant right next to the pool. You can request popular goan thali or the goan fish curry and rice made to perfection by the chef here. The ever-smiling staff is friendly and ready to assist you with every little requirement of yours. It's also a pleasure to stay in a resort run by a dynamic lady general manger for whom hospitality is a way of life, General Manager Pratiti Rajpal's zest for hospitality and her dedication towards her career is apt by the way she has shaped the resort into a bustling yet a relaxed resort.
