Phoenix Park Inn Resort

regulars or first timers who expected better.
I intend to go back next year if I can change the booking I have already made for the Silver sands

you up too early.

Bar area is one of this hotels strengths as you have to walk though it on your way in and out which means it is supported by other guests, for a drink on their way our or a nightcap, and usually there is someone to chat too.

Breakfast was chaotic and often there were insufficient cups, plates etc. Always restocked when asked however if only the Indians could be more pro active and not just reative this hotel would be better and breakfast would be more enjoyable. Always plenty of staff around however no one seemed to have responsibilty for a particular area. Breakfast consisted of freshly cooked eggs, toast, cereal, fresh fruit and sometimes bacon, beans etc. By Goa standard again more than some hotels offer but still frustrating when you want a coffee and you have to wait for cups. Can\'t comment on the other food as only had breakfast in the hotel

Another annoyance was on returning to the room the towels had been taken and not replenished. A simple phone call to reception and towels were brought but again frustrating.

The location of this hotel is superb, one road back from the busy Candolim road, however quiet and easy to get to bars, shops, beach etc.


There was some sort of entertainment on most nights however I do not go to Goa to spend my evenings at the hotel.

I would revisit the hotel for the price I paid this year

was much better.

The breakfast is a bit limited but OK. We often had breakfast out as the coffee was better. We had lunch sometimes by the pool which was OK but nothing special apart from the samosas. We normally went to the end of the road where there was a bar and restaurant as it was better and cheaper.

I would recommend this hotel as I prefer the smaller hotels as they are friendlier and the staff didn\'t disappoint.

a regular visitor to Goa the cleanliness of the hotel in general was of a reasonable standard. The room boy in our room changed half way through the holiday. The first one was very good and changed the towels daily creating a variety of sculptures. The second one however was the opposite and we had to request towels from room service on several occasions. There were also bits of dirty mop left on the floor on which was a bit disconcerting.

The mini bar in the room was basic but well priced. The pool bar although more expensive was also reasonably priced. Be aware that tax is added to the prices on the drinks menu. On four occasions we were short changed at the pool bar when paying our bill. Geoffrey\'s Pub advertised as \"The most happening place in Goa\" which is part of the complex was never open in the 4 weeks we were there.

Due to the numerous places to eat, the only meals taken in the hotel was breakfast which was quite good. This consisted of cereal, fruit juice, tea, coffee, toast, fresh fruit, fresh eggs cooked scrambled, poached, omellette etc.,either grilled tomatoes or baked beans. The seating area is limited however so we had to pick our time.

In general and notwithstanding the above, the staff were most helpful and friendly throughout the hotel.
Gopal the security man on the main entrance was always there to greet you with a salute and to wish you a good day.

Some of the blocks need a facelift, two of which currently have tarpaulins covering parts of the roof.

Phoenix Park Inn Hotel is just a short walk away from the manic main road of Candolim. Having visited many hotels in Goa, Phoenix Park rates among one of the better ones and we would be happy to stay there again.
