Storii By Itc Hotels Moira Riviera

You arrive at a small resort with 15 rooms, set around the Moira backwaters rather than in the middle of a busy beach strip. The tone is more polished hideaway than all-day resort circus: a bistro for proper meals, a lounge for cocktails and jazz, and a pool for the hours when doing absolutely nothing is the sensible plan.

The setting suits you if your ideal evening involves a drink, a decent dinner and somewhere to sit without having to organise another excursion. The hotel also works for a couple or a small group, with rooms, cottages and villas covering a range of stays. Wi-Fi is free throughout, and the property has accessible facilities, including a wheelchair-accessible restaurant.

You stay in Moira, in North Goa, at Tin Manas Bambordem, Moira, Bardez. Mapusa is around 3 kilometres away, so shops and town services are within reach without putting you in the thick of the action.

The location also gives you access to several well-known Goa beaches by road. Calangute, Anjuna and Vagator are all listed among the nearby places to explore, while the property itself looks towards the Moira river backwaters. Goa International Airport is about 14 miles away.

For a straightforward stay, the double rooms keep things simple with a double bed and private bathroom. If you want a little more in-room comfort, the Superior and Deluxe categories add air conditioning, a balcony, blackout blinds, a minibar, a safe, Wi-Fi, television and tea- or coffee-making facilities. That is the useful stuff, especially when the day has involved heat, road time and a fair amount of salt.

Travelling as four? The Deluxe quadruple option with a balcony is the obvious category to look at, rather than trying to make a couple’s room do family duty. The property also offers cottages and two-bedroom villas, giving you more room to consider if you are travelling with friends or family, although the exact layout depends on the category you book.

Bathrobes, slippers, toiletries, towels and a private bathroom are part of the more fully equipped room categories. Air conditioning helps with Goa’s warmer nights, while blackout blinds are handy when the morning light arrives before your body has agreed to start the day. Check the individual room details carefully: equipment varies between categories.

Storii Bistro handles breakfast, lunch and dinner from 07:00 to 23:00. The menu brings together Indian, continental and local Goan cooking, so you can stay familiar when you want to or use dinner as an excuse to eat your way through the region. The setting is open-plan, with hand-painted murals and a relaxed dress code.

There is one bar, Storii Lounge. It leans towards cocktails, Mediterranean-style interiors and jazz, with views across the Moira river backwaters. In other words, it is built for the drink after the shower, not for shouting over a nightclub soundtrack.

Breakfast is available at the hotel, and the meal arrangement depends on the room booking you choose. Water, tea and coffee are available on site, while the bistro gives you a proper place to eat rather than relying on snacks between outings.

The turquoise-tiled outdoor pool is the main answer when you want to cool off without going anywhere. Pool equipment and pool towels are available, and the surrounding space is intended for swimming, sunbathing or simply claiming a lounger and letting the afternoon pass without further administration.

For a slower reset, K by Kaya Kalp spa offers massages and facials. That is useful after several active days, particularly if your shoulders have started filing complaints. The hotel also has a garden and barbecue facilities for time spent outdoors without turning the day into another programme.

If you want to see more of the area, excursions include visits to Rashtroli Temple and Corjuem Fort, a walk through Moira and a visit to Moira’s artisans. The concierge and excursion assistance can help you organise those outings, while the lounge and pool cover the less ambitious option.

Check-in starts at 15:00 and check-out is at 12:00. Early arrival and late departure can be arranged on request. The hotel is suitable for guests aged 18 and over at check-in.

You can arrive by car and use the on-site parking. Visa, Mastercard, American Express and cash are accepted. Free Wi-Fi is available, and the property also offers currency exchange, ticket assistance, concierge services, laundry, dry cleaning, ironing and a wake-up service.

The hotel has air conditioning, security staff and a reception desk, plus an on-site infirmary and a doctor available on request. Its address is Tin Manas Bambordem, Moira, Bardez North Goa, 403507. For accessibility, the property provides wheelchair access and a wheelchair-accessible restaurant.
