Simrose is reopening tomorrow in a new location!
As many of you know, Simrose relocated a few months ago (we’re now on the south side of Agonda Beach – check us out on Google Maps). We’re very excited about our reopening tomorrow, October 1st! While it was sad to leave our previous location, it also brought a sense of relief due to the long-standing challenges with our former landlord. Although the decision to relocate was not ours, it has allowed us to move forward. We, Binesh Thapa and Prashant Kankonkar, have been nurturing Simrose for almost two decades. We’ve poured time, money, creativity, and energy into building Simrose, both on the ground and online. Each season, we brought something new – upgrades, new ideas, and a growing online presence on social media, reservation platforms, and of course, Google and Tripadvisor. While we were leaving the old location, the former landlord demanded that we hand over all our online handles and listings. Naturally, we refused, as he didn’t create them nor did he contribute to grow them in any way. We’ve had the Simrose business since 2006, with our website www.simrose-goa.com up since 2010, Facebook since 2010, Instagram since 2013, and X (formerly Twitter) since 2014. But according to the former landlord, just because he and his mother leased us the land, he’s entitled to everything… Our former landlord managed to temporarily move our Google business location pin – thankfully, we were able to move it back. He tried to grab our Google business profile as well. And he’s been contacting reservation platforms, telling them we’re out of business and that all listings should be transferred to him. We can only apologize for any confusion this has caused. We incorporated Simrose Resorts Private Limited in 2015 and officially trademarked our Simrose trading name in April 2022. We are now so excited to welcome you all to our new, even nicer location, despite all the unnecessary confusion that has occurred. We’re also incredibly grateful to the staff who have stayed loyal to us for all these years and who many of you have come to know well, including Malika, Manish, Ajay (Rishi Kumar), Rohit, Rupesh, Deepak, Anusha, Shanti, Ranjana, Shyam, Sudip, Rina, Sandhya, Naveen and Maharaj. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at info@simrose-goa.com. Thank you for your understanding and continued support as we prepare for the new season.

Will stay open till end of May, will re-open September 1st
This is our longest season ever, we had our first guests on September 16th and we will stay open till end of May. So for those who are keen to see Agonda from the different perspective – most tourists will be gone end of April – beginning of May – you are very welcome to come and stay with us. And the best part of this all is that 1) Goan mango season will be on its peak 2) All our huts have air conditioners (AC) 3) Prices will be almost only one third of what they are during peak season. And that is not all, next season we are planning to open extremely early, probably we will be the first ones in Agonda. We will kick of new season September 1st. And again, good thing – Agonda still will be very quiet and the beach which is usually almost empty should be occupied only by cows and you alone! Sure there will be some rains still, but let’s hope not nonstop. And it will be incredibly green! Warning – most places will still be closed, so not so many options to eat, except Simrose restaurant. And we might not operate fully from the very begging, maybe only 90 %. Feel free to drop us an email at info@simrose-goa.com to book your hut or a room!
