Delightful place to stay. We had no problems. Good value for money. clean and tidy. Good location

Budget guest house and you get what you pay for. Dirty sheets and towels that were hardly ever changed, breakfast included ants.
Candolim is a great place to visit, only wished we had stayed somewhere else.

My family got back from Candolim on Jan 23rd, 2008.
We stayed at Lucia Beach Guest House.
The staff are amazing just like everyone else says.
They will do anything for you. Tehy even let us use their kitchen for our son.
We traveled with our 20 month old son.

There are 6 rooms I believe and they are usually booked. Just write them an email and wait up to 2 days for a response. We paid a 20-30 % deposit through Western Union. The family is very honest who run this place, so don't worry about losing your money

The hotel is clean enough by India standards. There is no restaurant in the Guest House, but there are so many restaurants nearby, so that is not a problem at all. We had a huge fridge in our room and they stock it with drinks and water, and they charge the same prices as the stores, so it is so convenient.

each room has a big ceiling fan and hot water

We looked at most of the rooms. It seems it is more or less the same people who stay at this Guest House year after year.
All rooms have a terrace. Ours was huge. You get good breakfast served to your room. It is so much better breakfast than you will get at most hotels.
1 room has a small kitchenette. (stove/sink/fridge). ANd one room actually is split up to two rooms with a big bed in each (great for family). The rest of the rooms are normal hotel size rooms with bed and bathroom

As far as Candolim goes, it seems to be growing very fast, just like the rest of Goa. The only negative is the ocean has a pretty strong current, which makes it tough with so young a child. For that reason alone, I would suggest another beach, if your child is a wanderer and fearless like ours.
Although It is beautiful water for an adult.

The Guest house is about 250 meters from the beach. You really can't get much closer than that in Candolim. It is on the quietest street ever. No cars can even drive all the way to the Guest House.

There is a hotel with pool only 30 meters away and if you order food/drinks, you can use it.

If I go back to Candolim, I will definitely stay here again.

The crowd in Candolim is high 40s- high 50s in age, so it is relaxed. We saw very few younger couples and young families.

If you go to Candolim, stay at this Guest House (it is actually in Sinquerim, which is the south end of Candolim).

All the reviews we had previously read on Lucia Guest House were correct.

It was a pleasure to meet Lucia and Joseph and they ensured we enjoyed our stay at their guest house. The breakfasts they brought us every day to our balcony were excellant.

The room was cleaned every day with fresh towels and sheets. The view from our balcony was lovely and you could watch the sunset every evening.

The location of the guest house is good just on the outskirts of Candolim but within a couple of minutes you can reach the closet bars and restaurants. It has an excellent location with only 2 minutes walk to the beach from the back of the Guest House.

I would defintely recommend this to anyone and would return here on my next visit to Goa

What a gem of a guest house.

It's location is perfect, away from the hustle and bustle of Candolim's main street, but only a short stroll to the beach and several good restaurants.
It's about a 15 minute walk up to Candolim's main beach road.

Joseph and Lucia are a lovely couple, they cannot do enough for you. The rooms are cleaned daily, fresh sheets and towels every two days, Lucia even asks what you prefer for breakfast and does her best to please you. Nothing is too much trouble for them.

You wont be disappointed staying here, you are treated as one of the family, their home is your home.

We will definitely go back.

Lucia Beach is the best place we have ever stayed.

Joseph, Lucia and their son Lawrence are the nicest people you could meet. We were made to feel very welcome.

The guest house is in a fantastic location, it is in the quiet end of Candolim where it is peaceful and clean. It is just a short walk from the beach and close to restaurants and shops.

The rooms are large and very clean - sheets and towels were changed regularly.

Breakfast is brought to your room each morning. Its something different every day, but always delicious and accompanied by a daily chat with Lucia or Joseph.

We can't wait to return in 2007!!

What can I say that has not been said before, everything you read in the previous reports is true and without exageration. It is impossible to write a negative comment about our time with them.

We stayed with Joseph & Lucia for the first of what we hope will become many times.

If you decide to holiday at the Lucia Beach Guest House take Lucia some galaxy chocolate as you cannot but it in Goa.

Lucia guest House Candolim

Everything written by previous visitors to the Lucia Guest House came true.Joseph and Lucia are wonderful and treated us like family.
The situation and surroundings beautiful,the birds in the morning the little pig running around all added to a super holiday.We have already booked for next year

I stayed at Joseph and Lucias in November & December 2006.
Booked in for 5 days but found it hard to leave so end up staying 20+ days. I slept in all but one of the rooms which were all excellent but the rooms at the back do have a superior view with balcony's that you can sit out on and watch the sunset as well as the various wildlife.

As hosts, Joseph & Lucia cant be beaten and as for the breakfasts delivered to your room every morning with a good chat to start the day, what can I say...

I miss the place so much now that I'm back home and can't wait to get back there.

Having read the reviews of this guest house on Holiday Truths, I booked the first week of a four week trip - but happily ended up staying for all four weeks!

The hosts Lucia, Joseph and their son Lawrence treat all guests with respect and affection , their home is your home.

The rooms are large, clean ,private facilities and excellent balconies offering views over the cocoanut groves and the Arabian sea.

The bird and general wildlife viewed from the balconies include; Mongoose, Kingfishers, Fish Eagles, Hummimg Birds (or similar), and pigs!

Breakfasts are served on your balcony, fresh fruit and maybe an egg dish or Lucia's pancakes.

The location is perfect for the beach,and the shops and restaurants are a few minutes walk.
