Top 10 Resorts in Candolim, India

May 7, 2023 Etsuko Causey

Candolim is just north of the Mandovi river and is home to Goa's most popular and well known resort and holiday village. As such, it's not a typical backpackers destination. The Candolim beach itself does not have much to offer when compared to its livelier neighbor, Calangute. However, if sunbathing and take the occasional dip is your thing then Candolim will offer you the perfect experience. One of the more interesting sights from Candolim beach is the bulk carrier ""River Princess"" which ran aground 100 metres offshore. While at the Candolim beach do not miss out the Aguada Fort. The fort was built by the Portuguese way back in 1912 for defense against the Dutch and the Maratha invaders. Candolim is aslo a very popular evening destination as it has a number of very good resteraunts and night clubs.

I stayed here with my husband for 4 nights and had an amazing experience. The staff here is really hospitable, especially the pool bar boy Mr. Dilip Pradhan. He took care of us like his own, really kind and helpful. The lady on the front desk as well, Ms. Aasha who is an intern at the resort at this moment was really good to us as well. Highly recommend this resort for it’s staff, hospitality and the location as well.

Great place - its USP is three things - on the beach, great "Sunken bar" and excellent Calamari Restaurant

Reviewed By JRPune

I have been visiting Goa every year since 2013, other than the 2020 and 2021 (Covid years), and this is the only place that I have stayed because of the unique experience in terms of its (a) proximity to a quiet and secluded beach, (b) a wonderful pool which also serves as a bar, and (c) a great restaurant right next to the premises - Calamari, which also has a wonderful ambience. More over Santana beach resort also has a wonderful staff - this include the people who take care of the bookings and room reservation (Nilesh, Amar and Alex) and the room service and breakfast staff (Subol and team). The proximity to important shopping places like Newton's, Fab India and eateries like Fisherman's cove, helps a lot. Moreover, you can take a morning run/walk to Fort Aguada and the Aguada Jail which has been newly opened this year. These attractions are within 1.5-2kms from Santana.

This hotel badly needs maintenance of activity center, lifts, swimming pool area tiles and pool bar is just for show and not working. Rest staff was very good and rooms were very good. I think swimming pool is best for couple with kids like us.

1 . These are duplex/triplex apartments built in Candolim with a nice swimming pool 2. Although pool is not big , but enough to cater the crowd 3. Staff hospitality right from owner to every single employee reflects high class professionalism . From warmth in checkins to eagerness to cater guest need is superb 4. Villas are big , clean hygienic with big bedrooms, clean bathrooms and towels provided 5. There are two access to Candolim beach . Orthodox approach is like 2 kms away OR one can cross rather empty plot to beach ( not recommended as access is through filthy gutter and bushes ) 6 . Breakfast buffet options are limited but tasty 7. It is in proximity to good restaurants in Candolim 8. In our stay there was problem or power tripping , although generator kicked in . But problem remained . Owner was however quick to offer us replacement 9 . There is good parking space available as well 10. Apartments have good balcony access as well Would not mind coming here again

DO NOT RECOMMEND

Reviewed By Madhulaxmi00000

Front desk is very rude and absolutely reluctant to help you out or cater to your requests. Breakfast is really bad, no options beyond two items. Phone responses are also very very rude. Definitely do not recommend. They are so confident that they will be able to get away with this kind of behavior and mismanagement. I hope many people sees this and plans their travel and stay accordingly.
