Escape to Paradise: Nest Beacon Resort, Daman's Hidden Gem!

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because I just stumbled out of Escape to Paradise: Nest Beacon Resort, Daman and I'm still vibrating with…well, something. Let's be honest, Daman isn't exactly on everyone's bucket list, right? But this place? This Nest? It's trying, bless its cotton socks. And honestly, for the price, it's a decent little escape. So, here’s the brutally honest, slightly chaotic, and hopefully helpful review you've been craving, peppered with a few… ahem… "life lessons" along the way.

First Impressions (and the Drive There – ugh, traffic!)

Okay, first things first: Accessibility. Getting there? That depends if you're driving from Mumbai, like I did. Traffic, people, traffic! Plan accordingly. Once you arrive, though, the resort itself seems to be making an effort. Facilities for disabled guests are, well, present. I can't vouch for their thoroughness, but they're there. Important note, though: double-check specific needs. Don't just trust me, alright? It's your holiday, and you need things to work.

Check-in? Smoothish. Check-in/out [Private] is an option, and who doesn’t want a little less queuing? And Check-in/out [express] is offered too. So, there's one less source of anxiety. Let's be grateful for that.

Rooms: The Good, the Bad, and the "Where's the Remote?"

My room? Ah, my room. Let’s start with the basics. Air conditioning? Thank the heavens, yes! Daman heat is no joke. And the Air conditioning in public area is a godsend. I appreciated my non-smoking room more than I expected. The Blackout curtains were a lifesaver too. Seriously, sleep is crucial. Complimentary tea? A lovely touch, especially after that drive. A Refrigerator for chilling water bottles? Essential. Bathtub? Yes! Separate shower/bathtub? Yes! Towels? Fluffy enough. Free bottled water? Always a win. TV with Satellite/cable channels? Well, it was there. The signal flickered a bit, and I spent a solid 20 minutes wrestling with the remote (again, where is that thing!), but hey, at least there were channels.

Minor grumbles were, well, just that. The Closet space? A bit cramped. The Safe box in-room? A bit basic. The Mirror? A little smudged with my own fingerprints, haha. But it did the job. And, okay, the Internet access – wireless was free (Yay! Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!) but spotty. Don't expect to stream HD movies. Internet [LAN] is also an option if you're that kind of person. Personally? I appreciated the forced digital detox.

Food, Glorious (and Sometimes Confusing) Food!

Alright, the food. This is where the Nest gets interesting. Let's begin at breakfast. Asian breakfast, Western breakfast and the usual suspects. Breakfast [buffet] is available, so you'll have a decent start to the date. Breakfast takeaway service? Yep, good for a quick eat, especially if you're in a hurry. The restaurants offer a buffet too.

In the restaurants, you'll find A la carte in restaurant, Asian cuisine in restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant, and Western cuisine in restaurant. The Coffee/tea in restaurant is good. The Desserts in the restaurant are a win. The Soup in restaurant is perfect for a cold or rainy day.

There's a Poolside bar, and the Bar is great. The Happy hour is always a good idea. The Poolside bar is a perfect spot to chill. The Snack bar is a lifesaver. If you want a Bottle of water they have it. They offer Room service [24-hour] which is pretty useful.

The Spa: My Moment of Zen (Followed by… a Rash?)

Okay, let's talk about the spa. This is the part I'm still slightly conflicted about. The Spa facilities include a Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath, Massage, Sauna, Spa/sauna, and Steamroom. I booked a massage. The ambiance was lovely. Very, very zen. The masseuse was… enthusiastic. Let's just say she really believed in the power of deep tissue. I walked out feeling like I'd been tenderized with a rolling pin, but… relaxed, I guess?

Here's the slightly less glamorous part: the next day, I developed a rash. Now, I'm not saying it was the Nest's fault, but… coincidence? Maybe. Hygiene certification is mentioned, and they do seem to have things pretty clean. Either way, a word of caution: if you have sensitive skin, maybe skip the body wraps! Hot water linen and laundry washing and Professional-grade sanitizing services are supposedly in play.

Things to Do (or Not Do): The Chilling Factor

The Nest is definitely geared towards relaxation. Swimming pool is wonderful. The Swimming pool [outdoor] is beautiful. The Pool with view is a must. It provides Fitness center. The Gym/fitness is okay, if you like the idea of a slightly dated treadmill.

For the Kids, there are Kids facilities. Babysitting service is also available, and the resort is Family/child friendly.

The area around Daman? Well, let's just say it's not exactly bursting with options. But honestly, that's kind of the point. You're there to chill. The beach is… there. It's sandy. The water? Best not to think about it too much. I'm sure there's a local landmark to discover.

Cleanliness and Safety (Important Stuff!)

This is where the Nest gets serious points. Anti-viral cleaning products are used. They have Daily disinfection in common areas. There's Hand sanitizer everywhere. They use Individually-wrapped food options. Physical distancing of at least 1 meter is in place. Room sanitization opt-out available – good for the eco-conscious. Rooms sanitized between stays. Safe dining setup, and Sanitized kitchen and tableware items are used. Staff trained in safety protocol. Sterilizing equipment is deployed. CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside property. And the staff wear masks. All of which is truly reassuring.

Services and Conveniences: The Little Extras

They have a Cash withdrawal. Concierge is available to help with pretty anything. Convenience store, Currency exchange are available. Daily housekeeping is great. If you need, there are doorman and Elevator. Indoor venue for special events. Laundry service, Luggage storage, and Meeting/banquet facilities. They offer a Safety deposit boxes and a Terrace. Taxi service available.

The Quirky Bits (Because Life Needs Them!)

  • Smoking area: They have a smoking area.
  • Shrine: There’s a little shrine. Because… India.
  • Couple's room: They have them too. Also, what’s an extra long bed? I need to know.
  • Proposal spot: Aw.
  • Meeting stationery: They have it.

The Verdict?

Escape to Paradise: Nest Beacon Resort, Daman? It’s a mixed bag, alright. It's not perfect. It's got its quirks. It's a bit rough around the edges, and the spa is a gamble. But…it's charming in its own way. It’s clean, it’s reasonably priced, and it offers a decent escape from the madness. Is it Paradise? Not quite. But it's definitely a Nest, and sometimes, a warm, slightly imperfect nest is exactly what you need.

Alright, buckle up Buttercups! This isn't your grandma's perfectly polished itinerary. This is a raw, unedited, hopefully hilarious, and borderline chaotic exploration of a long weekend at the Nest Beacon Resort in Daman, India. Let’s call this “Operation: Sun, Sand, and Sheer Bloody Resilience.”

Day 1: Arrival, Anxiety, and Attempted Relaxation (Spoiler: Failed)

  • 8:00 AM: The Great Escape From Reality (Mumbai Edition). Okay, so my alarm decided to become best friends with the snooze button. Consequently, I'm already running late. Traffic in Mumbai is a special kind of hell. My taxi driver, bless his heart, was also having a "bad day," muttering something about potholes and the price of chai. "Relaxation" seemed a million miles away.
  • 11:00 AM: Finally, Daman! The Nest Beacon Resort. Photos looked promising, right? Lush greenery, that gorgeous infinity pool… fingers crossed reality doesn't disappoint. The check-in was… chaotic. A whirlwind of forms, a slightly bewildered receptionist, and the distinct feeling I was being politely herded like cattle. But hey, at least I had a room.
  • 12:00 PM: The Room: A Mixed Bag. The room itself? Decent. Balcony with a potential view (which I couldn't fully appreciate because I was already envisioning all the work emails I'd need to catch up on…). I unpacked, fighting back the urge to reorganize everything (I'm a chronic over-packer, a travel blogger's worst/best friend. The tiny tea-making kit was cute though.)
  • 1:00 PM: Lunch Debacle. The resort restaurant was… a scene. Buffet-style. The food? Let's just say I’m not sure if I'll be singing praises. Chicken curry? Mild at best. The rice was possibly cooked three days ago. I ate mostly the naan. Lesson learned: stick to what you know, or in this case, what looks like it won't poison you.
  • 2:30 PM: Poolside… Almost Paradise (Until the Sunburn Kicks In). Found a sun lounger. Bliss. For about ten minutes. Then the sun decided to unleash its full, fiery fury. I forgot to apply sunscreen. Rookie mistake. My skin is already starting to resemble a lobster. This "relaxation" thing is proving harder than I thought. Someone get me aloe vera, stat!
  • 5:00 PM: Sunset Stroll, or Attempted Suicide Mission? Decided to walk along the beach. Stunning views, right? Except those sand flies were relentless. They were basically going for the kill. Swatting, itching, cursing – that's my current mental state. Made it back to the room as fast as my sunburnt legs could carry me.
  • 7:00 PM: Dinner and Delusions of Grandeur. Tried the restaurant again. Chose a (slightly) more exciting dish. The waiter was charming, apologising profusely. Still, the food was… edible. By this point, I was mainly focused on the gin and tonic. Perhaps tomorrow will be better. (Spoiler Alert: It probably won't be.)

Day 2: Doubling Down on Disaster (But Maybe With a Silver Lining?)

  • 9:00 AM: Wake-Up Call From Hell (or, the Sun, Revisited). My face felt like a freshly baked pizza. The sunburn was now a full-blown war zone. This is not the "glow" I was hoping for. More like the "I've-been-left-in-a-furnace" look.
  • 10:00 AM: The Pool: Round Two (and a Strategic Retreat). Decided I HAD to get back in the pool to cool off, but this time I'm armed with sunscreen and a wide-brimmed hat. Okay, feeling slightly better. Managed to avoid the sunstroke. But did I mention the screaming kids? It’s a resort, get used to it.
  • 12:00 PM: Exploring the Local Flavor (Maybe?). Took a rickshaw ride into the town. Found a small shop selling some local snacks. The shopkeeper seemed to enjoy my attempts at buying something. I picked up a bag of chips, which I devoured in about two minutes.
  • 2:00 PM: My Beach Encounter: A Love/Hate Relationship. I found a quiet spot on the beach. This time the sandflies were less aggressive. I let the waves wash over me, and I actually felt a sense of peace. However, then my phone decided to take an unexpected swim. It’s probably ruined. This trip is testing my patience.
  • 4:00 PM: The Spa: My Sanctuary (or So I Hoped). Finally. A massage. The spa was dimly lit, and the masseuse was incredibly professional. I swear, I almost fell asleep and forgot about all the bad things.
  • 7:00 PM: Dinner and the Realization. I had more than the one Gin and Tonic. Okay, I'm not sure if it's the alcohol or the slightly-less-awful food, but I'm actually starting to enjoy myself. Maybe Daman isn't so bad after all. Maybe.

Day 3: A Glimmer of Hope?

  • 9:00AM: Breakfast: Finally! I have food. I have sunshine. I have my book. I’m content.
  • 10:00AM: Watersports… or Humiliation? I've never Jet Skied before. Actually, I’m kind of a klutz. I will never use this skill again. But it was exhilirating.
  • 12:00PM: Free Time. I've spent a lot of time in the infinity pool. It's still beautiful. It's still relaxing. It's still full of people.
  • 2:00 PM: The Restaurant. The food is better. The service is good. I have no complaints.
  • 4:00 PM: My Final Sunset: Daman sunsets are really beautiful. I feel peaceful.
  • 7:00 PM: Final Dinner. I finish my last plate of food. I have a final Gin and Tonic.

Day 4: Departure, Reflection, and the Unbearable Lightness of Being (Almost).

  • 9:00 AM: Farewell, Daman (and So Long, Sanity!). The room looked like a bomb had gone off. I packed (more or less) and checked out. The journey back to Mumbai… well, let's just say it involved more traffic, more anxiety, and more of that beautiful Indian chaos.
  • 12:00 PM: Back to Reality. On my way back, I realized that while I wouldn't have enjoyed the chaos of this weekend (and the sunburn), it had a charm of its own. Daman is not perfect. But the imperfections… they're what make it real. And somewhere, among the sandflies, the burnt skin, and the mediocre curries, I found a little bit of peace. And definitely a good story to tell.
  • 1:00 PM: Mumbai Arrival. Back in Mumbai, I step out of the taxi, and all of the little things from the weekend come rushing back to me. The heat, the chaos, the noise. I am exhausted. But I am content.
  • 2:00PM: Home: This is just the end. The End.

So there you have it. My Nest Beacon Resort adventure. A rollercoaster of highs, lows, and questionable food choices. Would I go back? Hmm… Maybe. After the sunburn fades, and I've recovered both physically and mentally. And next time I have plenty of sunscreen.

Escape to Paradise: Nest Beacon Resort - FAQs (with a LOT of Honest Rambling!)

Okay, so... Nest Beacon is *actually* a hidden gem? Or just marketing fluff?

Alright, let's be real. Hidden gem? Look, it's *Daman*. Daman. Not exactly the Maldives, you know? But honestly? Nest Beacon *was* a pleasant surprise. I went, expecting… well, let's just say I was fully prepared for a slightly underwhelming experience. I mean, the pictures online are always glossy, right?

But the resort itself? It's actually quite lovely. The landscaping is surprisingly well-maintained, and the general vibe is… chill. Think less "luxury resort," and more "relaxed getaway spot where you can actually breathe." The view from the infinity pool? Not bad at all. Actually, it was pretty damn good, overlooking the coast. I spent a whole afternoon there, just staring out and pretending I had no responsibilities back home. (Spoiler alert: I do. Lots.)

What's the vibe like? Is it all honeymooners and quiet nights, or something more lively?

Okay, the vibe… It's not a party spot. Thank GOD. I’m past the age where loud music and neon lights are my idea of a good time. The resort is a good blend, really. There were families with well-behaved kids (thank you, universe!), couples, and even a solo traveler or two (like me, at one point, after having a minor argument with my travel companion 😉).

Evenings are fairly quiet. The restaurant offers a decent selection of food (more on *that* later), and there’s a bar. But it's not a raging party. It's more like… sitting with a drink, maybe chatting with someone, or just watching the ocean and, you know, contemplating the meaning of life (or, let's be honest, what you’re having for breakfast the next day). I found it incredibly relaxing, actually.

The rooms… are they actually *nice*? Or just "fine"?

Okay, the rooms. They're "nicely appointed," as they say in the brochures. And, I've noticed, they were cleaned EVERY day, and that's saying something. (I can't stand a grimy room!). I opted for a sea-facing room, because, well, why not? The ocean view was worth every penny, honestly.

The decor is modern, functional, nothing overly flashy. Some people might call it a little "plain," but I appreciated the simplicity. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was clean, and the AC worked like a charm (which, trust me, is essential in Daman). My only minor quibble: the wifi wasn't always the strongest, but honestly? That's not the worst thing in the world when you're trying to *actually* escape. I just had to stand outside near the pool from time to time to get a strong signal to check my emails (which I did, of course. Ugh, work.)

Let's talk food. Is the restaurant any good? Or is it the usual bland hotel fare?

Alright, the food…. This is where things get a little… complicated. The restaurant, "Seabird," offers a decent selection. I was in the mood for some good seafood, and they had some. I had a particular experience that’s burned into my memory (in a good way!), and let me tell you...

One night, I ordered the grilled prawns. Oh. My. God. They were absolutely divine. Perfectly cooked, seasoned just right, and I devoured them in about five minutes flat. Seriously, best prawns I've ever had. That single plate of prawns, sitting on the balcony, overlooking the ocean, with the gentle sound of waves… pure bliss. I almost went back the next night and ordered the exact same thing, but I figured I should at least *try* something else on the menu. (I regret that decision, by the way. Should have stuck with the prawns.)

The other dishes? They were good, definitely edible. The breakfast buffet was… well, it was a breakfast buffet. Standard stuff. The South Indian dishes were a standout, though. The idlis and dosas were surprisingly authentic and delicious. But those prawns… I still dream about them.

(Okay, maybe the food isn't *the* reason to go to Nest Beacon, but that one prawn experience? Worth the trip alone.)

What are there to do at the resort besides eating prawns and enjoying the view?

Okay, so… activities. Let's be honest: Daman isn't exactly a hotbed of adrenaline-pumping excitement. But that's kinda the point, right? The main attractions are, of course, the beach and the pool. The pool is lovely, and I spent a LOT of time there. Honestly, I think I got through a whole book while floating about.

The beach itself is… well, it's the beach. It’s not the whitest sand or the clearest water you'll ever see, but it's clean enough and perfectly fine for a stroll. I walked along it every morning, soaking up the sunrise. Blissful, really.

The resort also offers some basic activities like cycling, a gym… which I didn't even glance at, let alone use. There’s a spa as well, which I heard good things about, but I didn't get around to it (maybe next time? Maybe.). Oh, and they sometimes have live music in the evenings. It's usually pretty chill.

Is it family-friendly? Will my kids be bored?

Yes, it's pretty family-friendly. There's a kids' pool and a dedicated play area. I saw plenty of families enjoying their time there. So your kids probably won't be *bored* – they'll have things to do.

But I'm not a parent, so take that with a grain of salt. I’d imagine if your kids are expecting a non-stop adventure park, they might be a little disappointed. But for kids who enjoy swimming, playing on the beach, and generally chilling out, it's a good option.

Any downsides? Be honest!

Okay, here comes the honesty. The downsides…

First, it's Daman. So don't go expecting a glamorous, international resort. It is, at the end of the day, in Daman. The internet can be a bit iffy at points (as I mentioned before: first world problems, I know). And honestly, the service, while friendly, can be a little slow sometimes. But that’s India, in general, isn't it? And, to be honest, I wasn't really in a hurry, and had loads of time to killJet Set Hotels
