The Tamarind Hotel is a three-and-a-half-pearl boutique spread across a couple of old Goan houses that have been converted into rooms and common areas. There are 27 rooms and suites in total, all with bright decor and big bathrooms, though they vary a fair bit in terms of layout. The star feature of the hotel is the main restaurant, Cafe Cotinga, with all sorts of cakes and baked goods plus an excellent breakfast spread featuring hot and cold items served against the backdrop of live sitar performances. Note that the nearest beach is a 10-minute drive away. Those looking for seaside lodging should look at Ozran Heights Beach Resort in nearby Vagator.

A five-minute drive inland from Little Vagator, Spazio Leisure Resort is a three-pearl vacation resort that attracts vacationing families and couples, with a large domestic traveler base. The 44 guest rooms are bright and well-maintained, with colorful accent walls, air-conditioning, and flat-screen TVs. Both rooms and common spaces feature lots of lovely Goan touches, from the colonial-inspired architecture throughout the property (think yellow-and-white two-bedroom structures with terra-cotta tiled roofs) to cartoon-style art inspired by Mario Miranda, a famous Goan illustrator. Features include a courtyard with a bar and international restaurant as well as a lovely pool with an adjacent kids' wading pool, but the area can get some traffic noise at times. If Spazio is sold out, travelers should consider Orritel Village Square, which is similar in terms of rooms, facilities, and prices.
