3 star Candolim Beach - Fort Aguada hotels in Goa, India

very nice resort, nice hotel pitty about the taxi chaps who tried to rip us off and hotel staff condemed his behaviour untill we told them whats what then hotel backed us up and got to see what we paid for, otherwise very nice place

Its my second visit to this property and it has lived up to my satisfaction, with good staff and well maintained service there is always seer pleasure to revisit..

Smooth check-in. Requests adhered to for most requirements. Great staff. Excellent swimming pool. Not a very good spa. Our Shirodhara sessions were unsatisfactory. Need to maintain better cleanliness in Spa. Close to the beach.Food was good though the breakfast quality needs slight improvement. Parking is an issue. Vegetarians have very limited choices but that is true through out Goa.We enjoyed the overall experience. Will not hesitate to recommend this and Expedia is a good site to book these hotels. Lastly we were shocked that the hotel did not have channels that broadcasted World Cup Football. We thought Goa was Football crazy.

First thing that comes to mind is its very courteous, friendly & informal staff; room service is fast; Food is great - the tables by the pool with a live music band make up for a great dinner ambience. The location of the resort couldn't have been better; the beach is not even a minute away - you can see and hear it from the resort 24/7; Don't deny yourself a chance to walk along the shore line - start from the Fort Aguada corner across Candolim right up to Calangute beach (around 4 kms); a resourceful taxi/cab service is available right at the gate; ATMs, stores - curio items, trinkets, beach wear, medicines, groceries are all within a stone's throw of the resort.

Visited Goa just last week (15-19 July), right in middle of the monsoon, the weather was beautiful, and I failed to understand how come its not the peak season, except that some of the shops in the market and Shaks on the beach were closed. Though it did not make much of a difference to me and my wife. Some of the best food outlets including Burritos and Souza were still open. The streets and beaches were not really crowded like in the season. And definitely the icing on the cake was the Santana Resort. Great Staff, Beautiful Location, Clean, Hygienic, Well Maintained... and everything that one can expect from a perfect resort. I Booked this resort considering the reviews and found them to be correct right when I arrived. was staying in the room right in front of the restaurant and had a bit of view of the sea as well. They have a sunken bar at the pool as well, which is beautifully set. Well it was a much needed vacation and I guess just everything was perfect about it. Had a great experience.

This was our first trip to India and did not know what to expect. The hotel is a little older and the rooms are very large with a lot of amenities. At first, we were a little hesitant about the location but soon we felt totally comfortable. The hotel staff and especially the restaurant made our stay so enjoyable. Mr. Santosh (restaurant manager), Valencio (cook), Ajamal, Debu, and Peter were all amazing. The cleaning staff went out of their way to make us feel at home and worked around our schedule. Thanks for everything guys.

Visited the second time in a year..amazing place, calm and serene..with direct access to the Candolim beach, we spent some quality time on the sun-beds readily placed with a great view of the beach and sunset. just WOW. Definitely a good place, safe, secure, calm, especially for family and couples..Surely recommended.

VERY NICE HOTEL TO STAY, SUPPORTIVE STAFF, GOOD & POLITE SERVICE, LOCATION ALSO TO GOOD, NICE AND CLEAN POOL AREA, BUT ROOM HAVE TO IMPROVE MORE CLEANNESS & FOOD QUALITY ALSO VERY GOOD BUT BREAKFAST MENU IS TO WEAK. ALL OVER HOTEL IS GOOD. NOT ANY MAJOR PROBLEM REGARDING HOTEL VERY GOOD DEALS AND WORTH TO STAY.

Overhaul super location, nice hotel, ask for first floor sea view room, makes the stay far better.....hotel a bit tired, sun beds uncomfy to lie on and breakfast ok.....wud stay again but only in first floor sea view room as that makes the location fantastic.......
