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

I stayed at Acacia, Goa recently. It is indeed a spanking new property and is very well maintained. Hence adds on to the feel-good-factor. Hotel: It is not a very big property but is very well designed. Really good, well-maintained and clean pool. Excellent, cosy room with 5 star standards. Room balcony / sit-out is also very good. Smiling and helpful staff all around. They serve Biotique products/toiletries which are very good. Wi-Fi: We had a front Road facing room on 1st floor and Wi-Fi signal was very good everywhere in the room. Internet speed was fast too. Location: Awesome. Only 5 minutes’ walk from Candolim beach (some excellent shacks to check out nearby). Market area is close with lots of shops and eateries. Food: I tried the buffet breakfast which is excellent - Very good taste and enough variety – continental as well as Indian. I must complement the chef for choosing such good variety of food and changing it daily basis. Truly Amazing. They have a spa which was operational. I did not try but it looked good. They will soon be coming up with a rooftop grill and a nightclub in basement. The rooms are not sound proof. At times, some sounds from outside gallery / nearby temple chants do come in – though not much of a trouble. But, all in all, a very good stay. I definitely recommend and will stay again here.

The lemon tree hotel as a whole were very accommodating of our needs. Staff were always friendly and always made sure we were comfortable. I liked that the breakfast was until 12pm so we didn't have to wake up super early and there was a lovely place to eat, as part of the hotel, republic of noodles - great cocktails there too. The hotel has a lovely spa at good prices (full body massage around £25, head / feet only around £12-£16), the rooms were always super clean, the pool is lovely, the decor is just wonderful and the nicely funny little pictures frames with hilarious commentary was a nice touch. There are always taxi drivers outside the hotel. Take a cab to Calungute for great night life experience, clubs, bars and beach life during the day is great. Very exciting. Mumbo club was by far the best one there. Better that Titu's (which I didn't like at

We were surprised with an ungrade on checkin. Hotel has all the pre requisites like friendly staff, clean rooms, nice clean swimming pool. The hotel is near by another famous hotel chain. The beach is 5 minutes scooty drive from the hotel.

wonderful hotel and perfectly located; would recommend the property most certainly for the location and their service offered , got my room upgraded on the last nyt and was pleased with the choice i made as it was a duplex room wid a balcony. Only drawback is that there is only one restaurant in the property and the breakfast spread is nothing exciting ; however their in-room menu is quite vast and tempting.

The stay was perfect, helpful staff....overall a great experience

The hotel is really good with a very friendly staff. It is located in a very quite area and is very relaxing. The only draw back is that it is away from the beach.

Awesome...........Awesome..........Awesome. It was our 2nd wedding anniversary and we had a great experience and lovely refreshing vacation. Alturas is a very good place to stay and we recommend it to all the couples out there to enjoy your vacation.

This property is a well known and appreciated one almost on the southern tip of North Goa, a walking distance from the Candolim beach. The aesthetics of the Hotel are neoclassical and carry a touch of the Portuguese architecture, antique-look but very well-kept Furniture and due care for comfort of the guests. Services are really good. Staff is friendly and very cooperative. Breakfast spread is lavish and delicious. A good number of foreign travellers we met at the Hotelbhad bookings for two weeks or more. The Fort Aguada - Baga Road close to the Hotel offers excellent eateries of all tastes. Most of the restaurants are decorated in the style of Beach Shacks but offer wonderful food with great hospitality and live music performances by evening. We thoroughly enjoyed our seven day stay at the Hotel and look forward to a come-back sometime in the future.

We stayed at the Sofala over the Christmas and new Year period and the place was rocking. There were functions and parties going on for 6 or 7 nights out of our 14 night stay including a great New Year party. The staff were great and every one of them spoke English with varying degrees of competency. The food and drink was marginally more expensive than the restaurants in the town but rightly so as the quality was superior. We had a lovely comfortable room with great air conditioning which you really appreciate when its 35 degrees outside. Just before our trip I saw some bad reviews on the internet and I panicked we might have made a poor choice but it could not have been further from the truth. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants access to the hustle and bustle of Candolim without being right in the thick of it.
