We stayed at this hotel last week, for one week. It was our first time to Goa but friends had already advised us not to expect too much from the Hotels.
We were really satisfied. Our room was cleaned everyday. it had satelite TV, bed was comfortable, and fresh clean towels everyday.
The staff were very fiendly and polite. There are two pool area's to choose from and both are lovely and quiet. The hotel is not in the centre of Calungute, it's approx 15 min walk.
Taxis are always outside and it's 100 rupees to Calungute. If you walk to the left of the hotel there is a lane that you can walk down that leads to Calungute, this is definatley a better route than walking down the main road, which can be dangerous because of the speeding traffic.
We spent most of out time in Candolim, as there are some lovely places to eat, also you are less peopel to hassle you on Candolim beach. it's only 150 rupee in a taxi and it's not far.
The downside of this Hotel was the Breakfast, very very basic. thin toast. You have to pay extra for beans. Based on our experience of the breakfast we decided not to eat at the hotel, but Goa is so cheap and there are so many differnt places to eat out, which adds to your holiday. Neither of us had upset tummys.
There was entertainment at the hotel, but we went out every night.
Our first holiday in Goa was fantastic! and we are def going back next year. I will prob look at staying in candolim next year - but I would not have a problem staying at this hotel again.
My advice to anyone thinking of going to Goa, - you must visit Palolem Beach in South Goa and stay in a beach shack for 1-2 nights for

Was told before arrival most hotels in Goa are basic so we were not expecting usual 3 star standard.
Arrived early morning allocated room on front of hotel which was very clean and quite a large room, but after one night with no sleep because of the traffic, we were given another room on the ground floor near the restaurant, which I have to say was not one of the refurbished ones. However, it was still ok and even though evening entertainment near we could hear nothing when room door closed.
Staff were extremely pleasant and helpful always smiling. Lovely pool at the back of hotel and clean pool towels every day.
Breakfast was ok toast a bit hard but eggs were cooked to how you liked them. All food was kept in covered containers.
I knew the hotel was being refurbished and if all the rooms are done to the same standard then we will have no hesitation in returning.
Location was excellent away from the hustle and bustle of the centre of Calangute and cheap taxi ride to town.

I have recently (yesterday) returned from Goa and spent two wonderful weeks at this resort.
On arrival at the resort we were very pleasantly surprised by the hotel and its surroundings. There are two good sized swimming pools with plenty of sun beds and the hotel provides you with beach towels.
The hotel was cleaned and maintained to a very high standard.
All rooms were cleaned and fresh towels provided on a daily basis and bed linin changed every two days.
I was expecting breakfast to be basic to say the least but again our expectations were beaten, every day there was fresh fruit, fruit juice, tea coffee, a selection of breads then hot food/toast to order.
As we were aware before we arrived the hotel is a few minutes away from the centre of Calangute but we found this to be ideal. On our first day we walked into Calangute and it took us about 15 mins. The hotel provides a shuttle bus to and from Calangute beach beach. At night we used out taxi driver to take us out and about and for the cost of the taxi it was nice to return to our peaceful resot at the end of the night for a good nights sleep.
The staff in the hotel were excellent especially the lads working in the bar and restaurant, the service could not be faulted. I have to say that we were very impressed with the standard of accommoadtion and all the hotel facilites. As we learned from our First Choice rep the hotal has only been receiving guests for the last 2 months and work is still on going to make impovements such as a new bar area being built but I would have no hesitation in recommending this to anyone.
We were a group of 30 somethings but there was a good mixture of people staying there so good for families as well!!

This is a Jeckle and Hyde hotel with two standards of accommodation with some extremely basic and some refurbished. It is the look of the draw as to which type you get and if like us you are allocated one that is non refurbished then it is totally unacceptable and does not meet any star rating. We had to find alternative accommodation at our own expense after having to endure one night there due to the lateness of our arrival.
Dependent upon the position of the room there is constant traffic noise all night with the honking of horns.No way is this even a 1 star hotel.
The breakfast was also unacceptable - flies on the fruit, thin rock hard toast, poached eggs full of water and you have to pay an additional cost for beans, bacon etc.
The pool area is very nice and appears clean and the pool towels are clean.
The walk into Calangute is quite dangerous due to the traffic but is not too far if you are prepared to risk it.
We have travelled to many parts of the world and this was the worst hotel experience of our travels to date and we are not overly fussy
