Cintacor Island Resort

Nature nature and just nature. The money well spent on being quite picture perfect beautiful private island. Not for parties and adventure. Very well managed, great and very friendly staff. Though it is a private island and away in sea, the communication links are not broken. The infinity pool is world class. If you just want to spend one day in green lush, humid nature with beautiful sea views and relax and ready to spend more than Rs20K per night then this should be in your bucket list.

A warm and exotic resort nested in this beautiful island. The sunset view from the pool is amazing. The small beach becomes your own paradise during the stay. The island is kept in its most natural form. Absolutely loved the food at the restaurant and the staff and service is top class! All in all had a lovely time at the resort. Highly recommended if you are looking for a time away and some peace.

Cintacor is situated on the kurumgad island. Worth the money and felt like we were on an international trip with great view. We were lucky enough to spot many dolphins as well. Food was very tasty. Tried different cuisine and were yumm. Great service.kid friendly place. Special thanks to manager Nitin and Harish n Pradeep.

This place is perfect for a do-nothing holiday.relax and unwind by the pool or beach and also get your heart beating with the water sports and activities.such as kayaking in the sea, banana boating, jet ski and dolphin watching (special thanks to SUBHASH). Also unwind walk around the beautiful island surrounded by trees on two sides. Feast your eyes on the magnificent views of the sunset from the infinity pool or just of the vast sea as far as your eyes can see. The staff are super sweet and wonderful. The food was absolutely spectacular with a view you just cannot get enough of.we had six meals with many components in it and everything was amazing (except for the paneer butter masala). A special thanks to Chef Purushottam who made literally anything we asked for (like lemon rice) that weren't on the menu.also a special thanks to NITIN (f&b manager), HARISH (f&b associate) and PRAKASH (f&b associate) for a pleasant and superb dining experience.we had a super relaxing and rejuvenating spa experience as well. The island is pretty large in area. It is extremely peaceful and quiet. There was only more family apart from us and they were on the other side of the island which made it seem like we had the island all to ourselves. The rooms are comfortable and relaxed.they are really clean and well maintained by the housekeeping team led by MR. GANESH. The pool was extremely well sanitized and pleasant it was also really well maintained by two other people both named Ganesh. All in all we had a spectacular vacation, however there is nothing you can do after 3-4 on this island. By which time you would be refreshed and ready to go back to hectic city life. Do visit.

One of the best India resort must visit karwar it comes in Karnataka state.
Attractive and peaceful resort.and specially enjoy for couple.

One of the best Hotels in Goa, located in the private island, had breathtaking views, brilliant spa and wonderful History

Must visit for sure

It's a beautiful property to relax and rejuvenate. The staff including reception, spa and trail guide, restaurant all are just amazing.visit the place to pamper yourself

We loved everything about this place. Beautiful and picturesque location, polution free.
All the facilities are up to the mark right from the moment you step on the boat.
All the staff is very good and helpful be it housekeeping (Ganesh), chef Purshottam, Nitin, Sarafin and others.
We highly recommended this place if you are looking for a very Hatke experience.

Excellent. A superb stay with mouthwatering cuisine and a super star Spa to heal your body and mind. A must try for a splendid vacation

We stayed here for 2N and 3D and oh what a stay it was. From the ferry ride to the island and till we checked out, it was one hell of an experience. A big thanks to the ferry team who made sure we dint have to carry any luggage by ourselves while boarding the ferry, the front desk team who gave us a brief history of the island and various other timings. The restaurant team and the chef Mr. Purshotam, he had made us Jain food on special request. Mr. Srinivasan the house keeping team always served us with a big smile.
Overall a great experience.
Go there to watch the lovely sunsets, to star gaze to get some good food. 5/5

The place and concept of staying is a private island is luring but we did the mistake of being there for the New year! Assuming some good party time as they were charging extra for that night. Man what a let down. It was merely a guy playing loud music from his Mobile playlist and few more bland food added to the 'Gala Buffet'! With kitchen closing by 11pm and since there was nothing engaging all the guests had gone back to their rooms by 11! And so much for Island experience we can't even go out and explore. Felt so Trapped!
Sorry for the negetive review but after paying nearly 40k for a day's stay the experience we had has left us with more of regret and bitter-sour memories.
+Points: staff puts maximum effort to make you feel comfortable, infinity pool is well maintained and the uninterrupted ocean view from the balcony is beautiful.
Let downs: poor planning and arrangements by Management for special events- buffet and BBQ was set somewhere and tables were set somewhere far! Lack of efforts to create a Festive vibe and set up inspite of charging for it.
'Food Taste'! Deserts were better but main course and starters were bland to death! And on top there is no Al-a- carté.
Sticking to the Time schedule Evening Tea - a must for a tea lover, was served late, so by the time we finished the water sports the sun was already down and we missed the main charm which is sunset view from the infinity pool!
Wouldn't recommend This place if you are a foodie.
Have to mention here that our experience in their Destiny Farm stay property was just the opposite and hence I went with Good earth.this was a complete let down.hope you take notice and improve on these small but very relevant things.

The island property is amazing. The staff, right from Seraphim to Gajendra to the chef, the people who clean our rooms, the guides on the walk were so friendly and accommodating. We were a mixed group- a 72 year old to a 2 year old- and all our wants were met. The food was yummy and every meal was freshly prepared. I'd highly recommend staying here. A couple of suggestions to make this experience complete would be 1) to have a small play area with a caretaker for entertaining little kids 2) an introduction to the history and background of the island would be great.

Resort must have their restaurant and bar menu uploaded on its website. Also prices of SpA and all other activities must be made available on the resorts website.

First impression was quite bad due to the staff of boat doesn't have knowledge about history and amenities the resort offers and very bad communication skills.

One of our friends visited her said to us ask for a person who works on boat, who have good communication skills and knowledge of history and amenities of the resort well and he helped them for dolphin ride as well.
When we visited he was not there,
Although a good place to relax and enjoy.

One of the best resort I visited so far.
Right from welcoming us to the island till the time we checkout room everybody behaved very well. Special mention to sarafin for guiding us through out our stay. All the staffs in restaurant is well behaved.
No need to mention specially about the place because its the only private island in india with such breathtaking views from each and every corner of the island.

Cintacor resort is a great location for beach vacation. The sea facing comfy rooms, pristine beach, the green island trails, the glory of Arabian sea topped with breathtaking sunset view from the infinity pool makes this an idyllic location to relax and recharge. What stands out is definitely the amazing food lovingly put together by Chef Joshua and his team along with amazing service led by Property manager Nithin, Front desk lead Serafin and their well trained staff. Thank You Prateek, Saket, Ganesh (three of them!) Gajendra, Asif, Amin, Madhusoodan and many more for making our vacation a wonderful and memorable experience with your amazing service and hospitality. We would come back again soon!

It's definitely one of the hidden gems in the midst of sea. Absolutely stunning location for nature lovers away from hustle bustle of city life. Hygenic rooms, delicious food, safe trekking, stunning locations, boat ride and highly professional courteous staff are some of the highlights of this place.
Special shout out to Serafin, Nitin & his team Sanket & Pratik. You guys are awesome. Thanks for making our stay wonderful.

A place which have potential of became a "Fishing Destination" like the Andaman Islands, all thanks to it's beautiful location in the Arabian Sea in the western coast. Just needs some equipments and a instructor or guide with good knowledge of locality.

Although a good place to take some rest in our busy lives and to consume some vitamin sea.

Beautiful getaway place from the busy schedule. Perfect place to chillout and refresh yourself

To begin with front desk and communication with travel and stay is very well communicated by Sarafin and team. Very polite and jovial people on the island.

The restaurant and all your eating stuff is managed by Nitin and team. Special mention to Avis for his assistance. Hari srinivas and all are very caring and helpful.

Housekeeping team also helps u with your needs.

Swimming pool is cleaned continuously and very well kept

This island is a much recommended place for you to hang out and take a break from what you are doing.

Remember this is a island away from mainland so you need to be patient with your timings and if you need special food - to be communicated in advance.

Not posting pictures as they match with what you see online and on the website.

Fantastic experience! It's a 40 acre island that's just 20 min boat ride away from Karwar. We spent 2 days here and it was an awesome experience. The best sunset on the most incredible infinite pool. Every room has sea view.

Superb management at the properties. The views are breathtaking and the entire staff makes sure all guests have a pleasant and memorable stay. I was taken aback by the humble team and their gestures.

They will make sure you have a great time.

Had to make it a 5 because the pros far outweigh the cons.

Pros:

1) Location: Beautiful island. Well maintained trees and pathways.
View from the cabin was amazing. Although, some cabins have better views than others.

2) Infinity pool: The location of the infinity pool is just perfect for a sunset.

3) Staff: Extremely sweet and hard working staff. They greet you everytime you are in their sight. At times you may find it overwhelming depending on where you're from.

4) Captain Nemo's Deck: Kudos to the Chefs. The food was on point with all the spices and was packed with flavor. Avis was patient in taking orders and very helpful.

5) Dolphin watch: If you're into wildlife and are lucky with calm waters, you'll get to see dolphins splash their fins and play around you. It's a treat to see them in their natural habitat.

Cons:

1) Cabin: Although well built, the cabins aren't well maintained. Definitely featured some questionable material choices. There were at least 4 things that broke loose from their fixtures as soon as you touched them.eg: fan speed knob, door knob, towel hanger, flush panel. The toilet door wouldn't close all the way and didn't have a latch on it. There were still spider webs around curtain holders. I would expect basics like these to be handled when I'm paying a premium price.

2) Jolly Roger's Club: With little to nothing on the alcohol collection, haphazardly thrown board games, this place is unwelcoming. Total waste of space.

3) Gym / Workout experience: For folks who like stay here for longer than 5 days and are active in their fitness game, they will either have to hit the pool for swimming or go on hikes on the same trail. Gym or at least a workout classes on the beach would have been a value addition.

Amazing island resort with great view of the sea from all rooms and an amazing infinity pool to watch the sun set.

Price for room is around 23k which in extreme upside. Clogged drains are one of the most recurring problems every day which we faced during our stay. With college interns they are running the show. As 90% of the work are done by interns from hotel management and catering.

Its awesome resort in karwar Near Goa. I loved to be there. I Suggest everyone should go there to enjoy there Services. Its island peaceful peaceful place. Sure you will feel Relaxed

Amazing place, with absolutely STUNNING views of the blue blue sea all around. The amazing greenery and walk around the island is not to be missed. One can lose oneself here amidst nature.listening to the waves, rustling leaves and occasional birds. Absolutely pristine. Do not miss the tidal pool in low tide, or the sunset from the infinity pool. And most importantly, the service from ALL staff was EXTRAORDINARY! The g
Food was great too - though would have loved a bit more variety.

An amazing experience.
Worth every penny!

Food - Amazing
Hospitality - Excellent
Place - Surreal
Rooms - Good

3 Nights flew without any hiccups.
Will cherish every moment here.

Thanks to all the staff for making our stay peaceful.

Cintacor is serene and an ideal location for a relaxed holiday. The friendly staff ensure you have a great experience. The food was exceptional. Highly recommend the place

Cintacor island was awesome. We enjoyed the morning nature walks, food, ambience, tranquility, sunrise and sunset, pool play, Jolly Roger's club etc. It's worth every money spent there. WiFi issues are there but we generally prefer to be disconnected from outer world during vacations. So it was not a problem for us. Loved the view as well from our room. Overall nice experience and lifetime memory.

We had an amazing time at this wonderful place. The staff has been extremely accommodative and made our stay memorable for us.

We had initially planned an international trip with the family, but due to covid it seemed extremely challenging. So we wanted to go to a place that would give us an exotic experience but with less hassle.

The food, sights, resort amenities, private beach, the infinity pool and everything else in this place made this trip unforgettable. The lovely sights during morning trek across the island was breathtaking. A special mention to the resort staff for being extremely helpful and friendly.

In short, I would highly recommend Cintacor island resort for a memorable trip with your loved ones.

Indian's first Island resort, what a place, nice infinity pool, food was so good, cabins are neat and clean with complete sea view, this island is located in Arabian sea, pre booking is required, free l Karwar they will pick you up by ferry, it will take approx 30 min to reach to island, staff is so welcoming, island is nearly 40 acres, 3 ways to explore this island east mile, half mile and West mile, you will find nice wild turtle pond on east mile, natural pool and temple on West mile way their is one mystery Crick too and half mile way the way which will take you to island, old name of island is kurumgad, turtle shape land, they do have spa and bar too, you can enjoy water sport's too like jet ski, banan ride, kayaking, one nice bech sack is Their on the beach where you can get drinks and snacks, beach is completely private, I really enjoyed my stay, I have read a book many years ago adventures of Robinson cruso exact the same feeling you wil get here on island if you are adventure lover you must visit this place, thanks to the entire team of cintacor you guys are awesome ohhoy

Our experience at Cintacor Island was like no other.
Cintacor exceeded our expectations in every way, and is hard to compare to anywhere else as it is so unique. We loved the attention to detail in everything from the food plating to the creative themes that served both form and function.
The staff were all amazing at their given roles and their enthusiastic approach to looking after us did not got unnoticed.
Everything was well maintained and the atmosphere screams inspiration and relaxation. Anyone who visits Cintacor Island, no matter the age, will have a memorable time, as everything is catered to ones individual preferences.

A Very Silent, close to nature island resort. Staff is very cooperative, soft spoken, & humble. Food quality is very good. Highlight is Infinity Pool. All rooms are sea facing. You need not go out of the room for watching colourful sunset. You can witness the beautiful sunset from your room only.
All and all, it was an fantastic experience to be at Cintacor Island Resort.

A nice gem of a place. Very different from other vacations. It is an island so _everything_ including water and electricity (i.e, diesel for generators) comes from mainland. At each point you become aware of it (both in the beauty of the place and limitations).

The staff is professional, super friendly and courteous/hospitable. The service in all departments - Food, bar and pool was great. They have room service (rather eager to serve you at your room w/ awesome balcony facing the sea) and also serve beer and snacks at the miniature beach which is at good distance from the top.

The restaurant food is good with options for Indian and Continental food. Had good options for the 3-day stay. The chef happily customized some dishes we asked, which was great.

The best thing about the place is the ambiance and views as you explore the Island. Enjoyed every bit of the 3-day stay. Would definitely recommend a visit before things change.

Note to Little earth management – instead of adding more rooms/cabins if you can develop this into a niche boutique place (Fresh sea food + outdoor activities) it would be awesome. Goes in theme w/ other Little earth properties.

One of the best destinations for a holiday. It is truly a island of happiness. From great food, amazing facilities and the staff truly make sure you feel just like home.

Heavenly feeling. Excellent location. No words to describe. One has to visit and feel it. If you want to get lost. Visit this island resort. I visited Cintacor for a day with my wife for my 1st Wedding Anniversary. It was really a great experience. The facilities and amenities are very good in the resort. I had specially requested for a Cake and candle light dinner. The staff made the night unforgettable by setting a candle light table on roof top of the restaurant. Cool breeze, twinkling stars, fresh air. As its a island they did not have bakery to bake me a Cake. The chef himself prepared a customized cake specially for us with his skills without a oven or a bakery. I am very thankful to the Chef, restaurant manager. Akshay a staff in the restaurant helped a lot for setting up the table, serving food and while cutting the cake.
Mr. Sunil who took us for a morning walk around the island. He is really talented. He knows most of the things about the island, marine life, history of the island, etc.
The view of the swimming pool is also awesome.
Overall it's a Great Experience. Hoping to visit Cintacor again.

The view and ambiance is just awesome! All the rooms has sea facing view. Had good time in resort. Staff’s were very professional. Received great hospitality from Avis (kitchen staff). Would strongly recommend people to visit this place once in life time.

Cintacor island resort is a great place that lies on the Arabian Sea. From the beginning to the end it was a great vacation. We stayed in a sea front luxury cabin. The views and sounds of the ocean were splendid. Beyond the relaxing atmosphere of the island, the next best part was the excellent staff and food. Th food department headed by Mr. Nitin and Avis who were very humble, kind and attentive. We had great variety of food. The food was super tasty. The person who guided as in the entire island trek and the water activates such as fishing and dolphin ride was very friendly. The best part in the entire island resort is the infinity pool with a scenic sea facing view is must watch and perfect spot creating memories and photos during the sunset. The staff has maintained the swimming pool in a very hygienic manner by maintaining COVID protocols and great beach music. Overall Managment by Mr. Sarfarin was excellent. We made a lot of special memories. Overall the cintacor island resort and the staff all make it a special and perfect vacation

Secluded Charmer in a Private Island

While we've stayed in a few private island resorts in other places like Tonga, Guinea Bissau, Gabon, Papua New Guinea, etc.this is the first time we are doing this in India. And I'm struggling to wrap my head around where we are right now. The scenery along the short ferry ride to this island reminded me so much of the islands off the coast of West Africa. The glimmering water and the worn out boat made us feel like we were on an island hopping experience in Cambodia or Thailand. The greenery on the hills of this island makes it look like an Island or Coastal jungle in Central America!

If the Island is a Poetry of Nature, the Resort is a Recital of Raw Romance. Sublime Sea Eagles soaring high and playing with each other, Adoring Butterflies flitting around the lush foliage, Ships sailing past in Slow motion across the gorgeous Arabian Sea, a Haunting Horizon dotted with islands blurring the boundaries of reality, and getting to watch all this play out right from the cute verandah of your own Cabin with spectacular Views - a killer jungle jaunt. The perfect Island Romantic Retreat! T

Also, overall the property has added the right amount of Style and Modern Chic to the Rustic Jungle Cabin feel. Modern meets Raw Nature. Overall, there are hidden gems, and then there are gems so hidden it's good for them to stay that way!

LOCATION: Just a quick 20 minute Ferry ride from the mainland jetty which is less than 2 hours from Goa Airport

DINE + DRINK: They have multiple establishments and hangout and chill. Our favorite was the NEMO’s deck with stunning views of the ocean (and great for sunset) Chef Senthil whipped up some wicked local dishes for us! Jolly Rogers is a nice indoor bar and recreation room. The popup joint ON THE ROCKS that is near the waterfront is perfect for evening beverages.

ROOM: We stayed in HERRING cottage, so this review is based on that; This was a cut little Cabin that was nestled in the lap of nature. VIEW: Spectacular views of the Arabian sea and the cute little islands next to Cintacor; SIZE: Reasonably spacious room; AIR-CON: Perfectly functioning cooler that helped in setting the perfect room temperature; BED: Comfortable bed that played the expected part to put me to sleep; BATHROOM: Stand in shower; TOILETRIES: Decent Cosmetics, but better to bring your own.

FACILITIES: No Gym on site. But they do have a spa and a Mind Blowing Infinity Pool with a Jaw Dropping View of the Ocean! The jolly roger club comes loaded with recreation elements like Pool Table, Carom etc You can also do water sports (Motorized and manual) like Kayaking, Jet Skiing etc in the evening after a quick evening beverage at ON THE ROCKS.

SERVICE: Friendly staff that took care of all my needs with a smile and made us feel pampered and well taken care of. Special Shout out to LAXMIKANT and PETERSEN at the Restaurant who indulged us wonderfully and took care of all our special needs.

HOW WIRED YOU WILL BE: Free high speed Wi-Fi that works well all over the property. Plasma TV screen dishing out dozens of channels spanning sports, news, music, movies and a wide variety of entertainment in multiple languages

Awesome location, swimming pool facing the sea makes a beautiful view, food is yummy, served hot, staff is well behaved.

Staying in an island was an amazing experience.
They need to address few things.

Proper and clean arrangements for sitting and washroom at the pick up point from shore.
Swimming pool maintenance as the bottom of the pool was never visible.

Food quality was ok but can improve.
Portions in the main course was not adequate.
The important point regarding the balcony has been directly shared with Mr Santha Kumar for action.
All in all we had a great fun and experience.
Staff were very nice and helpful.

This guys owns complete island and Narasimha temple is also in the same island. These guys won't allow anyone to visit the temple. Even they are not allowing us to stop boat over their. This is very rude.

Nice place to take break in the middle of nature being surrounded by sea hence no pollution clean environment and good sea food. Staffs are very friendly.

Private Island experience to its essence! Get away from your monotonous city life to a whole new experience. Wake up to the birds chirping and a view you would die for and if lucky, see some dolphins too. Sarafin as a manager was a delight and he helped me with one of his dongles for connectivity too, unfortunately I had to work for a bit and wifi and mobile connectivity is really bad, except a few areas. Food was amazing at Nemo's, did a bit of kayaking which was refreshing and the morning planned walk is something you shouldn't miss. The private boat which takes you from/to the land is nothing to boast about and is very slow as well but who is to complain, its a holiday after all. The staff is very courteous and will help in any custom requests. Definitely worth a visit and I for certain, will be visiting soon (when they have discounts as I thought its a bit expensive overall). Refresh yourself and come out rested!

A private island, worth the visit, if you like to get out from the city rush and take a walk/trek or hit the beaches. In love with this place. A good experience. Food is delicious and the staff are courteous and caring too.
Its not mentioned anywhere, but just a thought i would like to share to fellow travelers, if not in room, make sure to turn out the lights, fan, ac etc and likewise to stay less time under the shower. This is an island, its obvious the resources are limited.
Thank you Raffin for making sure i had a pleasant stay, And thank you Sunil for taking the time to explain the history, geography and botany of during the island trail.

Cintacor Island has just what the doctor ordered in terms of relaxation, rejuvenation and rest In abundance.for the discerning few.the good food, courteous staff and weather is the added bonus

This is superb I like it it is a fantastic island resort there is all the features in this resort I would give it 5 star

It's an amazing private island. If somebody wants to have private island or beach experience this is the opt one. Staffs are really good. But food is really really expensive as they are taking all the resources from Karwar.

Left this place with a heavy heart hoping to visit someday again.
Amazingly beautiful, go with a high resolution cameras.
People at resort are extremely cordial.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The place is spectacular with a beautiful infinity pool overlooking the sea and the spa and cottages have similar views. The hospitality is worth mentioning, Laxmi Prasad, Gayatri and many more whose names we don’t remember made us feel very special on this private island. A great place to avoid crowds especially during covid. Definitely worth visiting!

Cintacor is a peaceful place to visit which is very close to nature. The resort's location is the heart of an island. All the rooms have a sea view in the resort. The resort is very well maintained and has a very humble staff. The food is also very delicious here. The place is a good visit if you tripping to karwar. Sunset of the resort is marvelous.

It's one of the best Island I have stayed in, hospitality is amazing from the time you park the car at their parking. Jetty from seashore to Island is very nice experience, the food is amazing on island, chef personal checks your requirements and prepares accordingly. The staff is friendly and helpful too.

What better place to unwind amongst the nature all around you. With all the greenery and the ocean views from every where in the property it is now one of our favourite resorts for sure. The pool has stunning views and the best sunset view possible and lovely music. Each room is so thoughtfully and beautifully designed with again the perfect ocean views and ample amount of privacy. They have a small lounge/game room with good options in board games, foos ball table, dart, n sufficient books and again views to die for. No request was too big for them. Be it our request for burger n pizza or be it for getting the balcony cleaned even twice or thrice a day. And everything was catered to with a huge smile on everyone's faces:) Felt like being on our very own private island.

Stunning place, very well maintained, sea, weather were at its best.stuff were excellent, Roshna, the trail guide was excellent. Senthil, the chef food, drinks was amazing. Whole staff was great! Loved it, loved it, loved it. Thanks for such hospitality.

Perfect hideout for the vacation with enormous amount of natural panoramic views. You can't get over with it easily once you have been here. Service is very professional with personal touch of Sarafil who is always there to help you. Restaurant and club staff is always there to help you with a big smile. And food preparation by chef Senthil will make you feel more than worth waiting as they prepare fresh cuisine as per your choice and taste from scratch even if it is not in a menu.

Loved the island and the beach. Staff are super helpful and informative. We had water adventures, star gazing, nature walks, indoor games and nice food.

Excellent view of the sea from the room.fantastic beauty of nature, greenary around the resort makes u feel relaxed, room service n the staff are too cooperative and very helpful. Morning nature trail was exotic n refreshing. Food at the restaurant was too delicious n homely. My family n friends had a wonderful stay at the resort. Thank u

I visited Cintacor island with my parents for my dad's bday. My dad loved the place, he said it was heaven on Earth. With private beaches, trekking trails, fort ruins and isolated cliffs, the resort offers a perfect getaway from the city life. It's an isolated island in the Arabian ocean next to karwar. The entire island is privately owned by the resort so you won't find anyone else apart from fellow tourist and resort folks. To make it even better, they offer great hospitality. For instance I forgot to order the cake for my dad's bday, so they made a makeshift cake for us within hours. It was a phenomenal feat since the island is isolated and there is no bakery on the island. Overall we had an excellent stay at Cintacor, we would love to come back someday

The island is amazing - beautiful environment on Cintacor. The stay is worth the price. Among all the activities, the nature walk and the banana boat ride are recommended, although the boat ride might be frightening for people who don't swim. The customer service is impeccable and the staff look into any issues, major or minor, and make sure to fix it. The rooms are very good, and all of them have a good view of the ocean.
Food was very good, having included both authentic Konkani and Continental cuisines.
The concepts of nature and heritage are maintained better than anything on the island.
The naturalist of the resort is very experienced in his field, and is quite knowledgeable about the island's flora and fauna. If the weather is clear, be sure to go to the top of the main restaurant to stargaze, guided by the naturalist.

The infinity pool is must-visit, especially during the sunset as you get the must beautiful view over there.

Our stay was only for a day, but I highly recommend you to stay for at least two so as to experience all the great parts of it and explore Cintacor.
Also, the best time to visit the island is from September to early February, as the seas are comparatively calmer.

There is no need to worry about connectivity as the resort has very good service and also provides free Wi-Fi.

This is a very important thing to remember:
If your visit is during the summer months, then make sure to board the boat and leave for the island before 12 PM, as the sea gets rough for the rest of the day - The same reason we missed one of the 2 days of our stay.

Overall, our stay at Cintacor was amazing and all of us had a really good time.

Great place for a getaway. It's a bit pricey, but when considering the pain to maintain an island and comparing the facilities, it's quite OK. Kids will enjoy the private beach and water sports. Overall, a great vacation.

To start of with just 5 stars is an injustice to this place and the staff. The location, serenity, staff behavior, food, activities, etc I have nothing to point my finger at negatively. I love travelling and when I compare the hospitality to N number of other places these guys here go to an extra mile!
This is a place for people who want to have a peaceful time and love nature. If you are someone who wants to spend your vacation awake at night having loud conversation with your friends and family (example GOA) this is not the place. It will only disturb the animals so my humble request who ever chooses to visit this place, please keep calm and low on your vocals and avoid night disturbance

This is a piece of paradise on Earth. The island is located deep in the ocean, around 20-25 minutes of private ferry ride to the resort. Once u reach the island resort it's just nature all around. The resort staff really takes care of their guest and are always available to assist you with a smile on their face. The property is huge and all cottages are very tastefully furnished & all of them are sea facing. They have an infinity pool which is accessible by guest 24x7 at night the pool is lit up which sets the mood to take a plunge in the pool. One can even see dolphins in ocean from the pool n restaurant area, so do watch for dolphins. Other side of the island is their private beach with water sports facility. Coming to food the vegetarian food that i had in lunch (Chapati, Phulka, Paneer Mattar Masala, Steam rice & dal) was not so great the Chapatis & Phulka were dry and got rubbery once it went cold. Paneer mattar was below average and rice-dal was very average. And in night I tried pasta which was again very average. So for me the lunch n dinner was pretty disappointing. On the other hand their breakfast was good - idli-sambaar, medu Vada, fresh fruits, fruit juice. Overall it's a very beautiful property with amazing hospitality. Surly will visit them again.

This resort is located on an island 5 km off Karwar. If you come by your vehicle, they'll have you park your vehicle in Karwar and then take you to the island by boat (The ride lasts for about 20 minutes). The location is unbeatable. It used to be an old fort from 17th century (You can find the the remaining ruins on one side of the island). The rooms have great view of the sea and the surrounding small islands. You can roam around the island, there are some activities like Boat rides, etc. There is also a temple on the hill-top. There is a very small beach, where you can go to the water, otherwise one cant get into the water since the island has lot of rocks and cliffs. The infinity swimming pool is like an icing on the cake. You hardly get such views and an excellent hospitality from the staff. They take care of everything and are super-polite. Though it is expensive, it is well worth the money since its almost like one of a kind resort that I have ever been to.

We took a 3 day trip to the island just to relax amd what a way to start the stay with a free upgrade to the premium cabin from the economy one. The rooms are spacious and the view from the patio is breathtaking if you love the sea.
The food options are limited, but the chefs take personal care of each request you make and they make sure every demand of yours are met. They do prepare food items which are not in the menu. Just be sure to inform them a day in advance.
Please note: Bisleri water is expensive. Make sure you carry them from outside the island.

The infinity pool is the best usp of the island. No words to describe.

The water activities are not that great and expensive but i do not regret the experience in my short stay. The activities were expensive too.

We would surely recommend this place to someone who’s on a lookout for a isolation and rejuvenate themselves.
Thumbs up for from our side

You will have the whole island for yourself. No wild animals. No fear of getting lost. Excellent hospitality.
Great view of the ocean from balcony. Well lit infinity swimming pool.
Only negative part - the cost. Highly expensive. All activities are paid. Even lunch and dinner are paid and not part of the bookings.

Absolutely beautiful island resort, with tastefully designed cabins overlooking the sea. Its a delight waking up to the morning view of the sea from your bed. The most beautiful infinity pool that you can laze around in.

Good Food that you can order in. Tip: Please order in advance to ensure they can do timely delivery for lunch/dinner. Decently laid breakfast options.

Water Sports at reasonable rates and good enjoyable rides like jet ski and family tube ride. A good nature walk conducted by them gives us a view into the history of the island and the natural habitat.

A must stay at Cintacor island if you happen to be in Karwar

Exotic and fantastic. Perhaps the most beautiful resort in Karwar. Built in an island with a 500 years old tree, turtles, wild hen and name the water sports and they have it on their private beach. Most suitable for people love to have some quality time with most isolation. Enjoy swimming in pool with an eye on sea.

Very happy to post review of Contactor Island. Just one word AWESOME. A perfect holiday destination. Great hospitality. Enjoyef the stay very much would like to visit again.

Hidden gem along coastal Karnataka. 5 star resort. Breathtaking view of a sea facing swimming pool, one of the best maintained. Rooms are very well designed and well kept. Very curteous staff. Can definitely upgrade their adventure sports infrastructure and staff.

If you are looking for an adventurous island stay then this is the best island resort. It has beautiful cabins, sea view. The thing that make this resort special is its swimming pool. Food quality is just awsum. Beach, water sports, temple, and exploration of island is its salient feature.
