It was a comfortable stay. It is far from anything with only 2 restaurants to choose from. There is a small swimming pool to relax in on the roof. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was sufficient but a little hit and miss.

A Perfect Birthday Getaway at Hilton Goa Resort! We stayed at Hilton Goa Resort for my birthday, and it couldn’t have been more special! From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The highlight was walking into our beautifully decorated room — balloons, and a lovely birthday setup that made me feel so celebrated. The views from the resort are stunning, and the entire property has such a calm, luxurious vibe. The food was fantastic, especially the breakfast spread, and every staff member we met was warm, polite, and genuinely caring. Thank you to the Hilton Goa team for the thoughtful touches and for making my birthday trip unforgettable. Can’t wait to come back again soon!

The resort itself is beautiful and I loved my room. There were really nice seating areas around the resort too. Upon arrival, and departure, the staff greeted me with gifts, which was a nice touch. What I didn't like was: 1) almost all rooms were located around the pool, so wherever you lay to relax, guests and staff were continuously walking past you 2) the noise from daytime and evening music was ridiculously loud. There are signs inside the room that advise you to wear earplugs if you don't like it. It was louder in the room than outside! And even with earplugs, I could still hear it. 3) the location - whilst it is techinically close to the beach, it is situated on a busy road, and to get to the beach, you had to walk ***** this road. This felt precarious and I did not feel safe to do so, as a solo traveller, at night. 4) the restaurant; whilst the staff were all friendly enough once you approached them, every time I used the restaurant, I had to seek them out. I was never offered a menu unless I asked for one, and I was not shown the breakfast options nor shown what choices I could select from, from the egg/masala/pancakes section.

The location is right on the beach and near to lots of bars and restaurants. At the moment, there is a rule in Arambol about live music stopping at 10pm so it isn't overly loud. You can hear the sea when the music is not playing. It is at the quieter end of Arambol beach (regarding sunbathing tourists) which I liked but there is still music playing. This may or may not appeal. The room was basic, but clean when I arrived. I stayed for 6 nights, and they never came into my room. Not to clean, not to empty the bathroom bin. Not for any reason. That is fine by me as I am ok to empty my own bin, but may bother others. The linens and towels were old but clean. Weirdly, I asked for an extra toilet roll after day 4, and I was told I was entitled to only one but that they would make an exception! The length of your stay appears to be irrelevant to the amount of provisions. They also didn't provide a top sheet. I asked for one and he seemed uncertain if I cold have one and said he would let me know later, then forgot (and apologised later). They said I had a blanket and could use that - but those are rarely cleaned so I didn't want to use it next to my skin. It was actually okay as I didn't end up needing it, but if there had been lots of mosquitoes there would have been zero barrier. The owners were friendly and said hello whenever I passed them.

The hotel is in a great location. Very friendly welcome. We were shown to our room and things explained. The balcony was small but ample. The room should have contained robe and slippers but these were missing, although didn't affect our stay so not a real issue. The pool is small but was very quiet and provided a nice cool off. Towels are available at the counter. The hotel is located directly on the beach with beech shacks and restaurants on the beach very nearby. The hotel does not provide beach loungers BUT if you head to a beach shack and buy a drink or two, they will allow the use of a bed for free. Directly out of the hotel gate on the beach there was a lady with beds trying to charge 500 rupees for a bed for the day. This is not necessary when you can get a drink for less with a free bed. We nearly learned the hard way. The bed was far too hard for me, resulting in reduced sleep, but some people may prefer a firmer bed. My partner slept better than me so this was a personal experience. The bedding was nice quality though. The whole place was clean and tidy. Rooms made up every day in the afternoon so not disturbed early morning which is nice. The rooms are not soundproof so a lot of noise can be heard from outside when people start moving around in the morning. Staff were friendly - everyone had a smile, and nothing too much trouble. We only experienced breakfast once, and I would say it is ok as long as you don't expect a full English fry up (which in my opinion you shouldn't as you're in India). The food was hot, tasty, and fresh. There was plenty to choose from for a breakfast selection. If I was to fault the breakfast, to provide a suggestion, providing tea and coffee black so that customers can add their own milk would make it more accessible to all. I can't drink too much dairy so had to give this a miss. Then the only real downside to this hotel we found is when checking out, you are made to wait until the room has been checked, in case you steal anything. I completely understand this, but this should be made clear when checking in. We had booked a taxi to arrive at check out time, which could have resulted in additional costs for waiting time. Just to be mindful if staying here and arranging onward travel. Or maybe the hotel could make this policy clearer upon checking in. All in all a very nice stay in Candolim and this hotel was a good choice.

The first thing I will say about this hotel is that it is great if you want to be able to stay at a hotel and relax there. The location is very isolated and its quite, tucked against the river. Its a beautiful scenery. However, if you stay here you will need some form of transport (I hired a bike for 500 rupees a day) in order to get yourself around. The hotel was clean and the swimming pool was good. It had a bar area and the breakfast was nice. The balconies that are attached are great for sitting in the evenings. I went here during off peak season and enjoyed it, but you 100% need to hire a bike in order to explore the surrounding areas.

We stayed at Stonewood Hotel in Vagator for the weekend (Saturday – Sunday). The hotel is located in the Goa cluster area where parties and events are held, and if you want to sleep quietly at night, this place is not for you. Music and bases from the nearest parties felt right in the room, and sleeping was almost impossible, even with berries or earphones. On the other hand, the hotel itself is very pleasant: rooms are clean and comfortable, there is a swimming pool, beautiful views for sunset, and the downstairs to the ocean is comfortable. Breakfast is modest, choice is small but all fresh. There are several beach clubs next to the beach where you can eat cheap and delicious. The interesting element was the figure of Shiva's face on the beach carved on the rock. The hotel provides a taxi at a good price and location is convenient for travel to local markets. Staff friendly and responsive. In general, we liked our stay, especially the kinds, service and atmosphere of the day, but take into account noisy nightlife if you plan a rest with a full sleep.

Overall this was a very satisfying stay. A few major hiccups but less on account of the hotel or staff. Certain times of the year it does get too busy. During our stay it was found to be comfortable and satisfying. I think the staff here are very professional and dedicated to what they are doing. I would return for a stay here.

The staff of the hotel are very friendly and supportive. The ambiance was quite good. A place must to be in..
