Best Candolim Hotels

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the enchanting Santana Beach Resort in the heart of North Goa, and I must say, my family and I were absolutely captivated by the entire experience. This hidden gem, nestled amidst lush greenery, boasts not just one, but two inviting pools that sparkle under the golden Goan sun, making it a true oasis of tranquility. From the moment we stepped foot into the resort, we were welcomed by a level of hospitality that could rival any 5-star establishment. The staff at Santana Beach Resort redefine the meaning of exceptional service. Every member of the team seemed dedicated to ensuring our stay was not just comfortable, but truly memorable. Their warm smiles and eagerness to assist made us feel like royalty. One of the standout features of our stay was the culinary delight offered at Calamari, the resort's signature restaurant. The food was nothing short of extraordinary; every dish was a masterpiece, a symphony of flavors that delighted our taste buds. However, it was the Pomfret fish that stole the show. Cooked to perfection, it set new standards for seafood excellence. The freshness, the seasoning, the presentation – everything about it was impeccable. Additionally, we were enchanted by our experience at Olegario's restaurant, where the culinary expertise reached unparalleled heights. The creativity and skill behind each dish were evident, making our dining experience truly unforgettable. I also must highlight the pristine private beach that Santana Beach Resort boasts. The beach, meticulously maintained and wonderfully secluded, provided a serene escape. The sand was soft beneath our feet, and the waters were crystal clear, inviting us for leisurely strolls and peaceful sunsets. It was a rare gem, offering the perfect balance of natural beauty and tranquility. I must commend the owner, Mr. Verner Da Costa Frias, whose down-to-earth demeanor and genuine passion for ensuring his guests have an unforgettable experience truly set Santana Beach Resort apart. Despite his busy schedule, he was always accessible and went above and beyond to assist us. His recommendations for the best places to visit in Goa were invaluable, offering us a chance to explore the true essence of this vibrant destination. A special thank you must also go to Nilesh, the reservation ***ager, whose efficiency and kindness made our booking experience seamless. His attention to detail and commitment to ensuring our preferences were met added an extra layer of comfort to our stay. The resort itself is a testament to meticulous maintenance. The lush gardens are a testament to nature's beauty, meticulously groomed and bursting with vibrant colors. The pools are not just refreshing, but also impeccably clean, inviting guests to unwind and bask in the luxury of their surroundings. In conclusion, Santana Beach Resort is not just a place to stay; it's a destination in itself. It embodies the essence of Goan hospitality, offering a perfect ble

I have been there with family, Property is well maintained with beautiful rooms, The location of this is the best as it walkable to beach. The staff was good and helpful. Restaurant have good and tasty food. Overall my experience with this was good. I suggest this for friends and family trips.

The resort in my opinion tends to cater more for the Indian guests,with regard to breakfast. It's a very clean hotel,our cleaner was fantastic. The pool is great,but you need to be on the ball if you want sunbeds. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The food was ok,but takes forever to come. All in all a good place to stay, partly because of its location. I'm not sure it warrants the cost ,been going to Goa for 12yrs. Properties as good are available for less.Having said all that,I wouldn't put anyone off who was thinking of staying here.

The service and experience is apt to the name of Taj. Right from arrival to checkout, at every step I was provided with the top notch service. Travelling with infant could be daunting and I was nervous but the service provided right from sterilising the milk bottle to supporting in making baby food using our instructions was really appreciative. When our kid had a minor incident where he threw up, we were quickly provided the help with kindness and courtesy. The ala-carte food was delicious while the buffet meal could be better. The view and ambience was breathtaking. I have no doubts in recommending this hotel

Such a lovely hotel. Staff friendly and obliging. Urmila, the chef is an absolute asset to your hotel. What a beautiful lady. She definitely cooks from her heart . Rayna, the FnB manager is lovely also. The pool was lovely and relaxing and the pool staff were very nice and obliging. Will definitely recommend this hotel to everyone

I stayed at Fortune Acron (R.No.2404) on a six day break at Candolim with wifey and my baby girl. It is a great place to stay for the following reasons: 1. Amazing staff- i've never met such a 'ready to help and serve,' bunch of youngsters. Sincere, affable and courteous to the core. This hotel is a great place because of these youngsters and others making up the staff in Fortune Acron. 2. Great Location- Just 700 metres from Candolim Beach. And there is a shuttle service of Wagon R (s) operated by extremely polite and full of info about the town drivers- Rama, Vijay and Robert. Three great guys! Rama even loaned me Rs.20/- when I didnt have change for my Limca. And he never asked for it till I paid him! This shows character of the place! So thank you Rama, Vijay and Robert. I also want to thank Satyavan, the security Guard at the Gate *****with the young sardar and the fellow from Karnatka. 3. Dining staff- Rohit Barnwal is amazing, and is the most charming of them all in this hotel. The bartender Anjan is cheerful and a great guy to talk to. So were Neeteesh, Nirjala, Sheen ,Vikram and others whom I dont recollect but were amazing every single day. Prithiviraj and Apoorva at the reception are elegant and very friendly. So are the young ladies whose names are escaping me at the moment. 4. Piano Session in the afternoons with Joachim 5. Musical evenings and nightly Bazar in the Hotel lobby. 6. Extremely prompt housekeeping with Eqbaal, Dhruv, Yeshu and others. The lifeguards at the pool side were very efficient and vigilant with little kids. The only improvement that I feel is a better rotation of receipes in the buffet dinner. Otherwise Fortune Acron Rocks! And it rocks bigtime.

Stayed there for 3 nights and it was a wonderful experience. The staff is polite and helpful. We requested a room change and it was managed immediately. The breakfast menu is not wide but tastes great. Overall, a decent and comfortable place to stay with family.

Mattress was old. I understand it's a hotel and these spring beds get weared, but given the pricing they should keep getting new ones from time to time. Current condition of mattress was bad. Was very uncomfortable. Bathrooms are ok, not very tidy and clean even after room service. Stains are there is western toilet and wash basin. Furniture in room are good. Although sofa chairs needs deep cleaning. I could see dirty stains on the upholstery of sofa chair. We arrived late evening and when entered room, bed linens were dirty. But since we were tired, we ignored it and just slept. But next day they changed it. We didn't opt for breakfast, so can't comment on that. Swimming pool was good.
