Radisson Blu Resort Goa, located at Cavelossim Beach, is a beautiful blend of Portuguese and Goan architecture. About 100 keys out of the 132 keys are in villa style with private balconies overlooking manicured lawns offering guests the privacy they seek. It is also the only five-star resort in south Goa with a lounge bar called The Copa Cabana, which is a popular hangout with resident and non-resident guests.
Sharing details of developments at the hotel, Ajith Nair, Resident Manager, Radisson Blu Resort Goa Cavelossim Beach, says, “We will be adding 23 more rooms to this resort with an additional swimming pool, which will take our inventory to 155 keys and also an additional banquet of 2,300 sq.ft. Apart from Radisson Blu Resort in Cavelossim and Radisson Candolim, we will be launching our new upper-upscale boutique resort in Mandrem, North Goa in late Q2.”
Nair adds that Q1 this year has been good with an occupancy of 82 per cent; the business mix of 54 per cent from M!CE and wedding bookings and 46 per cent from direct channels and through their trade partners. “We are witnessing an upward trend in conversions from non-negotiated mix,” he says.
Touching upon a trending topic that is gaining popularity these days, he says that the resort has already implemented measures such as EV charging stations, an in-house nurtured organic vegetable garden for the guests to choose the greens of their choice. Apart from conservation, measures like LED lights, water recycling and rainwater harvesting has been implemented. “We are also in process of implementing a bottling plant,” Nair adds.
The resort ensures that it meets and interacts with its trade partners and corporate bookers during the domestic and international travel shows. “We will also be looking at conducting a Fam trip in September 2023 for them post the completion of our new banquet facility,” he adds.
