I enjoyed my stay at the Lemon Tree hotel Amarante Beach Resort. I enojyed the short walk to the becah, the daily brunch and dinner service, the comfortable room, large pool and nearby shops in proximity to the hotel. I recommend Lemon Tree and would plan to stay at the chain of hotels on my next stay in India.

This hotel is in a very touristy area so with that in mind we had a great stay. On the property it’s a very calm environment. Staff are attentive and always willing to assist. Food was really good in the Citrus Cafe on property.

Fake 4 star hotel
Had a disappointment stay at this play. Fake 4 star hotel. From day 1 of my stay room had lots of issues. 1st water was leaking from air conditioner, 2nd no hot water in the morning to shower, 3rd didnt expect to see guests(insects) in the room. After raising these concerns still management didnt provide another room, they ignored. Only positive about this hotel is the friendly staff. Better stay away from this hotel if you want service for what you pay.

Good experience, must have again
The whole hotel team was outstanding. From the check-in to daily restaurant interactions to the check-out , you feel welcome. Folks who complained about the restaurant don't give the staff credit for being truthful. As not all items in the menu are ready in minutes, since the town is a restaurant town . Guests usually stay at the hotel but eat out.

Nice Hotel, Poor Management
On arrival informed that our room was not ready as there was construction underway and would not be ready until the following day. We were moved to a sister hotel, just as nice rooms apparently, and told we could take over our originally booked room anytime the following morning. Well, the room was not of the same standard, it hadn’t been finished for the new season. After breakfast we asked to move back to the resort we’d actually booked and paid for, we were picked up and dropped off at reception. It became clear that the reason for our move had nothing to do with renovation and all to do with double booking as we were informed we would have to wait for housekeeping to prepare the room. I was unwell by this time with the onset of Delhi Belly and asked the assistant manager how long this would take, half an hour was the response. An hour and a half later, after a number of visits to ask why we were still sat in reception we eventually moved into our room. The room was fine, the housekeeping and catering staff were great. The reception staff were clueless and the management lied. I’m hoping the issues were around early season preparations and the fact there was an Indian Religious Cekebration on that weekend, but would not stay there again due to the management dishonesty.

Friendly service, decent breakfast and great location. The check in was quick and efficient, and the pool was clean. The resort needs to spend a few months to renovate the rooms and common areas, as it has aged quite a bit.

4 day stay at Lemon Tree Amarante, Candolim, Goa
Excellent location, great staff (truly truly helpful and cheerful - big shout out to Jophilip at front desk, Ayub from travel, and Vineet from housekeeping). The rooms are ageing and worn out. The double bed we had was two singles pushed together (so the middle sags). Breakfast could be improved (sausages tasted like bread) but who needs hotel food with such a great location and literally hundreds of restaurants and shacks within walking distance.

Great place to experience Goa
It's the people that make this hotel special. Yes, it's comfortable and clean and well looked after, but more importantly the welcome is warm and friendly, the staff are genuinely keen to help and I really enjoyed my stay. On the down-side - internet connection is unreliable and there are regular, short power outages (although this isn't the fault of the hotel - it's just Goa in general). The hotel is quiet, being set back from the road by a pretty courtyard but it is right in the centre of the main street and a short walk to the beach.

Very average, adequate but nowhere near luxurious
Ok, so I want to be hesitant to overly criticize the Lemon Tree because it wasn't bad. It was clean and safe, just nothing all that special. I read a bunch of reviews online that made the place seem a lot nicer than it actually was. Our expectation was that we were getting a luxury hotel but I'd more realistically rate this place on par with a 3-star hotel in the US, only with a nicer exterior and pool. The room was clean but nothing special. Don't upgrade for the balcony, its a waste of money. There was only one chair and NO view. Waste of money. Breakfast was adequate but nothing special. They set out what they called "fresh" juices but they tasted pre-mixed powder ones or watered down with water. The service was average but it wasnt the typical "we'll bend over backward to make you happy" level of hospitality that we had experienced everywhere else in India. This stay was right after the Indian demonetization which made it nearly impossible to find cash. Before there, all of the other hotels were accommodating tourists by helping pay cab fares and just adding it to the final bill. But this was a task too tall for the LT and we had to under pay our cab fare with the only remaining cash that we had left. That wasnt a default service that they we were promised but just an example of being a notch below the others. They also ask u to fill out a survey at the end of your stay but will interrogate you if you leave anything negative. We laughed as we left bc it was so awkward.

Close to the beach and restaurants.
We stayed here for 7 nights. Nice pool area and not far from the beach but route to the beach is not very clean.The rooms were comfortable but in desperate need of updating. Our windows were completely blocked out so we had absolutely no views and during our stay our phone wasn't working so we had to walk down to reception every time we needed something. Bathroom accessories weren't replaced, infact our shampoo container in the shower was empty throughout our stay. Staff friendly. I think the would benefit greatly if some refurbishment were carried out.

Great stay..
Our group of 6 had booked 2 rooms at Lemon Tree Amarante Beach Resort for 2 nights. We had a wonderful stay at the resort. Last minute addition of an extra person was very smoothly managed. We had a small incident wherein one of us had lost our mobiles, and the hotel staff patiently helped us with the CCTV footage to help us trace our phone. We spent a good 30-45 minutes with them seeing some slow repetitive footage and the staff was very co-operative with us. Our rooms were maintained in good conditions. The linen was spotless and clean. Housekeeping staff also moved around smoothly not disturbing our routine or with the constant nagging we sometimes come across at other hotels. On the whole, we had a very good experience / pleasant stay at Lemon Tree.

Great location...that's it
Location is perfect if u want to stay in Candolim and close to the beach. It is a 5 mins walk to the beach but the road is secluded after 7 pm. The property is getting old and needs refurbishment. The AC was leaking and they couldn't fix the problem as it got repeated in day 2. Breakfast is average though the spread is wide. Service at breakfast leaves a lot to be desired. Pan Asian restaurant is very good and recommended Pool is nice.

Beautiful property to spend vacation
This was our my vacation after returning to India. And I am glad I started with Lemon Tree in Goa. This is an amazing property with a lot of heritage feel. The room was excellent with the balcony opening towards the greenery. The staff was really courteous. Breakfast was excellent with a lot of variety. Though its not right on the beach, its very close. Its also very close to a lot of eateries. Thanks you LemonTree for an excellent time.

“Great place to stay!”
We, ( a group of 4 friends) stayed in this hotel towards end of November and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The rooms were very nice and comfortable. The pool area was very well maintained and looked beautiful. The hammocks were very nice to way relax! The whole decor was very pleasing. The complimentary breakfast was excellent and because it was till 12 noon we could have leisure time in the beach in the morning and make it for brunch! The beach was a short walk from the hotel back entrance and was not crowded so it was excellent to walk/ play in the mornings. Also we get taxis, scooter rentals, shopping, restaurants just outside the hotel so it was well located on the main road. On the whole a pleasurable experience and I would highly recommend this hotel.

The hotel was fine compared to other hotels in Goa... I rated them low because the power and Internet tripped many times during our stay. In fairness, the power was tripping off in many places around Goa...

Excellent location
Overall very nice hotel. excellent location, the pool was clean and staff were friendly. Wouldn't recommend eating or drinking at the hotel because the price listed isn't actually the price you get billed at the end they add 12.5% VAT and then a service charge on top too. Half the price in all the restaurants and bars just a step out the front door and from the shacks on the beach. There were also no drawers to be able to unpack our cases only a wardrobe. 24 hour reception and security on the gates. Reception staff able to recommend good local eateries although some speak limited English.

The hotel was great. Very pretty and good area. Centrally located and easy access to the other beaches around by Scooter. The one downside was that they were redoing the pool when we went and getting it ready for the season so we didn't get to try it out. The breakfast buffet was awesome!!

Nice,but service lacking.
Nice hotel, Heritage room 4 poster was nice but no drawers in room. Brilliant housekeeping services. Pool staff very attentive with towels and chairs, but I had to go to the bar every time I wanted a drink. Hotel restaurant served excellent food but the service was shockingly poor, I even had to ask for cutlery to be provided at one stage. The restaurant attached to the hotel 'Republic of Noodles' was the complete opposite. The service was the best we had in Goa and the food was magnificent as well. Be aware that the Republic of Noodles shares the bar with the hotel. If you order a drink by the pool it costs twice as much as having the same drink in the restaurant!

Very pleasant experience
I stayed in Lemon tree resort from Aug 24 to Aug 30, 2014. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Listing some of the good points and areas of improvement Good points a) Very well maintained rooms. Rooms were very clean and house keeping made it a point to clean the rooms daily. b) Very polite staff. They made it a point to ensure that stay was very good. Right from the staff at Citrus cafe such as Chandan, Mahavir and Sandeep who were very good to the staff at the reception desk, all very very friendly c) Very good and clean swimming pool d) Very good breakfast spread Areas of improvement a) Some times, noisy guests created a scene outside the rooms late into the night which created inconvenience. Although its not the hotel staff's fault, some sign boards could help. b) Found the rates at Citrus cafe to be very high, not to mention the high service charges and tax added to the bill. Hotel should review the rates or atleast reduce the rates during off season. Overall very happy with my stay and would love to come back again.

Beautiful place on the right location in Goa
I stayed here for more than a week. I must say this is definitely a good place to stay. I don't know why they call themselves a Beach Resort. The beach is quite near from this place.. less than 5 mins walking distance but they do not own it.. the beach and the hotel are not connected either. Location of the hotel is really good in terms of distance to other tourist places. I was served by staff who are deaf-mute and I think they are as efficient (or even better) as the other staff who are not physically challenged like them. They like their work and they really want us to be comfortable and satisfied with their service. Among them, I must mention Sandeep who was the best and I will remember my stay because of him.

Bathroom water inside room !!!
This hotel is having a pleasing atmosphere. Located in a very good location surrounded by lot of nice restaurants . Staff behaviour is pleasing. The two security men standing infront of the gate are great with their behaviour. Reception area looks like that of a 2 or 3 star hotel, not so good. Swimming pool and surrounding area looks awesome. The worst thing about the hotel was the room and bathroom facilities. I have booked a superior room. The room was too small. The bathroom was leaking ,once the water flows out of the bathroom and filled the room. Staff took around 30 minutes to dry out the water from the room.The toiletaries was also leaking. I didn't see the bathroom dry once.
