Gracias Bleu is a 1-bedroom retreat set within the Gracias Seaora resort complex in Morjim, North Goa — one of the calmer pockets of the coastline, sitting between Ashwem Beach (1.2 km away) and Morjim Beach (1.6 km away). The property is listed as pet-friendly on Elivaas, with a clearly documented pet deposit and sanitation fee structure that tells you this is a place that has genuinely thought through what it means to host animals. It is a boutique resort-style stay — think a shared pool, an on-site garden restaurant with hut-style cabanas, and a bar with open views — not a large impersonal hotel.
✓ Confirmed by the property
Pets are allowed on the property in selected apartments only. The pet policy is formally documented on Elivaas: a refundable pet security deposit of ₹10,000 for one pet or ₹15,000 for two pets is collected in addition to the standard security deposit. A one-time pet sanitation fee is also collected at check-in (amount varies by unit type — confirm the exact figure for your room category at the time of booking). Pets are not allowed in the shared swimming pool; a care charge of ₹10,000 applies if this rule is violated. Guests are responsible for cleaning up after their pets, and any damages are charged at actuals.
The Setting — Beach Proximity Without the Beach Chaos
Morjim sits at the quieter northern edge of Goa's tourist belt — far enough from the Calangute–Baga corridor that it still feels like a proper coastal village, close enough to Arambol and Ashwem that you have real options for an evening out. For pet parents, this matters: quieter lanes and a gentler pace make Morjim considerably easier to navigate with a dog than the more crowded southern stretches of North Goa. Ashwem Beach, just 1.2 km from the property, is known for being less crowded than the big-name Goa beaches — though do confirm on-beach rules for dogs before heading out, as beach access for pets in Goa varies by stretch and season.
The resort property itself offers multiple spaces to unwind without leaving: a shared swimming pool surrounded by sunbeds, a garden restaurant set in lush greenery with outdoor seating and cabana-style huts, and a bar with open views. Rooms feature attached balconies or patios — ground-floor rooms have direct pool access, while upper-floor rooms offer pool views. The property self-describes as following the ethos of "Atithi Devo Bhava" with a 5-star hospitality approach, and the 4.9 rating across 241+ reviews on Elivaas backs that up.
Pet Policy — What You Need to Know Before You Book
This is a pet-friendly property through Elivaas, but the key detail is that only selected apartments within the resort accept pets — so it is critical to filter or confirm pet-eligibility for your specific unit at the time of booking, not after. The structured deposit system is actually reassuring: a refundable ₹10,000 deposit for one pet (₹15,000 for two) collected in addition to the standard security deposit, plus a one-time sanitation fee at check-in, tells you the property has a real protocol rather than an ad-hoc arrangement. Deposits are refunded within 5–7 working days of check-out provided there are no damages or rule violations.
The one firm rule to be aware of: pets are not permitted in the shared swimming pool, and the property enforces this with a ₹10,000 care charge for violations. This is standard for shared-pool resort properties and worth flagging if you have a dog who loves water — the pool is off-limits, but Ashwem Beach is within walking distance. The property's clean-up policy is standard: owners are responsible for picking up after their pets. No breed restrictions are mentioned in the listed policy. Check-in is from 2 PM; check-out by 11 AM.
ℹ️ What to Confirm Before You Book
Several details are worth verifying directly with the property or Elivaas before completing your booking: (1) Confirm your specific unit is one of the designated pet-friendly apartments — not all rooms in the resort accept pets. (2) The exact pet sanitation fee for your unit type (it varies by BHK category — 1BHK is ₹1,000, 2/3BHK is ₹2,000, as per the general Elivaas policy). (3) Whether any breed or size restrictions apply that are not listed in the online policy. (4) Any additional charges or rules that may apply during peak season or blackout dates such as Christmas and New Year.
The Stay Experience — Resort Amenities Close to a Quiet Beach
Beyond the pet specifics, Gracias Bleu offers a genuinely appealing package for a Goa trip. The 1-bedroom unit is described as a retreat designed for couples or solo travellers, featuring elegant interiors and a private bathtub for unwinding after a beach walk — a detail that stands out in a category that often delivers basic rooms. The on-site restaurant is set in a garden with hut-style cabanas and relaxed outdoor seating, which is a comfortable option for meals with your dog nearby. The bar has open views and serves cocktails. For evenings out, popular Goa spots including La Plage, Farzi Beach, Saz by the Beach, and antiSOCIAL are described as a short walk away from the property.
Reviews on Elivaas consistently highlight the staff (specifically Noor and Guddu are named for attentive service), the food quality, and the overall cleanliness and ambiance of the property. For a pet-friendly stay in North Goa that also delivers on hospitality quality — rather than simply tolerating pets — this property sits in a fairly small category. Morjim as a base also gives you easy access to the Morjim Turtle Beach area, though do keep dogs on leash in protected coastal areas.
