Lovely place to stay, peaceful at the end of the beach. It's great to come back after a full day of exploring Goa. The owners are super nice. They have good food too. Waiters repeatedly confused orders but that honestly is something we could smile about.

I recently stayed in Cozy Nook for four days. I really enjoyed the setting, the feeling of being part of nature, the views of the ocean and the beach from my front line cabin,…but I mostly enjoyed the friendly, helpful, trustworthy and professional staff. Special kudos to Sebastian and Dilip, managing the place.

What a wonderful place to stay in! Had a non sea facing cabana and nothing was more beautiful than to fall asleep to the ocean sound and have a wonderful breeze from the sea going through the hut. They seem to be pretty thoughtfully designed and we felt very much at home! Generally the ambience was a lot more laid back that most other parts of Palolem beach and it was very quite (except in weekend nights when you can hear the beats from a party place somewhat nearby) I have to say that the food I tried was not very amazing and because of the many options available I’d probably rather eat somewhere else

Very good place within budget stays. Hospitable people running the place. We stayed in beach hut and all our needs were addressed promptly. We had a beach facing hut with a patio on top. If people not used to starting in Hut which is an open area sort of room set up , will suggest to book regular rooms. Also note , this is at the quietest end of the beach where the river meets the sea and people who love waves with quite surrounding will live this place alot. One thing to note is the place is not easily accessible from main road all when arriving in dusk or night , you might struggle a bit to find this place.

Note: This place is strictly for those individuals and groups who are looking to spend time in the comfortable lap of nature. It is not the mad crowd zone of Goa and that is the best thing about it. Do not expect any poshness, although that is not a good service or cleanliness criterion. 'Cozy Nook' denotes a comfortable corner, which is exactly what the huts and the restaurant are all about. Situated at the far right corner of Palolem beach in South Goa, it is one of the best places to spend a serene exotic time within India. The Nook is warm, lush, and soothing, with a constant melody of the sea splashing the shore ringing at the back. We stayed in Hut 4 so the review is with respect to that. It was two-storeyed, with rock flooring placed right on the sand, and no touch of urban in it. The view is vivid from the balcony/first floor with the Arabian Sea and the clear horizon. Clean room, fully equipped with all the necessities even after their purposeful primitive looks. The lights are dim but sufficient and appropriate. The coastal winds make the fans useless at times. One should be careful of mosquitoes (for which they provide the nets and the incense) and some other insects. It is rare to find one, but you might come across it if you have left the room for a long time. Hence, always check the beds before use. The restaurant, which is the coziest place to have food that I have ever seen, has a tropical vibe to it. Every dish we tried was delicious and top-notch (except the average kebabs). Chicken Vindaloo with Rice and Cozy Nook Special Pizza are heavily recommended. Mr. Bartender is outstanding with all the drinks that we tried (Again, the Cozy Nook Special Cocktail is recommended). The food takes time as they cook it fresh, but it is on-time always. The service is fast even under pressure. The beach is the threshold between the Nook and the Sea. It is calm, easy to swim, and a delight to the eyes. The 1-hour turtle rock and butterfly island trip from the beach are worth around Rs. 3500 for a private boat. Kayaking is offered from the Nook itself, by Mr. Dominic. It is Rs. 200 per hour per person, which is reasonable compared to other spots in Goa. There is also the boat ride in the backwaters, right around the corner from the beach. Concluding, Cozy Nook is just the place if you want to spend a tranquil time with family or friends, without making much noise. For me, it was a 5-star stay. Special thanks to Sebastian (The Manager), Mr. Bartender, and the muscular gentleman who will take your order when you are there. (Unfortunately forgot to ask his name during our visit) PS - The night sky can't be expressed with words. It is right out of a fiction book.
