Hotel berhampiran Candolim Beach, Candolim

We had a wonderful experience at Novotel Goa Resort. The reception Staff are friendly and prompt at their work. The Hotel maintain is excellent, Rooms are very clean. The pool view is amazing wit the beautiful huts. They have a great selection of food. Goan food was amazing, services are professional. Well maintained.Coming back soon.

I stayed at this hotel for 10 nights over the New Year period. From arrival to departure, everyone made us feel extremely welcome. Everyday we were greeted with smiles on faces. Room cleaning services were provided to us every day with new bottles of water too. The room was modern and had all of the amenities that we needed for the duration of our stay. The hotel facilities were excellent, our favourite was the pool and bar area. We had a few meals at the hotel including room service one night which was good quality and delicious. The hotel is in a good location with approximately a 10 minute walk to the beach with lovely bars and restaurants in the surrounding area. Whenever we needed a taxi we were always able to get one outside of the hotel reception with no problems. Overall we really enjoyed our stay here and we would come back again.

This part 1 of our review, we will review again at the end of our stay. We are 2 weeks into an 8 week stay and we can honestly say we have never been somewhere where the staff are so attentive and helpful, and we have stayed in hotels throughout the world. Mainly 4 or 5 star too. The hotel is situated about 150 meters down a well lit if very uneven, lane off the main Fort Aguerdo Road. Being honest, the only downside is some refurbishment is needed. Mainly the pool area and bedrooms. Although a program of refurbishing the rooms is ongoing a room at a time at the moment. The hotel is clean and tidy. The rooms are a good size with plenty of storage. The water pressure is excellent with a big rain shower head in the shower and never had a shortage of hot water yet. Bathroom is equipped with a good hairdryer. There’s a kettle in the room with tea and coffee. The room has plenty of sockets that all accept the British 3 pin plug. The bed and pillows are so comfortable with decent bed linen. Balconies are a good size with a table and 2 chairs on with a fan and clothes rail. Breakfast has a wide choice which is mainly geared around an Indian breakfast but there are some western breakfast choices. Omelettes and eggs done any way you want, cereal, toast, pastries which are all baked in house there’s fruit juice, tea and coffee too. You can have bacon on request too. We have eaten in the hotel restaurant 3 times already. We have had the hotel dinner buffet twice and eaten off the A’la carte menu once. Each time it has been absolutely gorgeous. There were things on the buffet that we had never heard of but when we tried them found them to be delicious. One of the buffet choices was fish, which I can’t eat, so the chef offered, and made me a chicken biryani which was delicious. Our thanks to Head Chef Prasenjit and his team for the fantastic tasty creations. And thanks to hard working restaurant manager Mahesh, especially for his guidance over menu selections and offering alternatives, and his hard working team. The front office team led by Deepesh are always very helpful and polite. A special thanks to Ram who takes great care of us around the pool A very special thanks to the Resort Manager Ambarish for taking great care of us and in particular his help with my birthday celebration. It was most appreciated. We already think we will be making a return to this hotel next year.

Overall experience was good at the hotel. Rooms were clean and service was good. But i found very astonishing thing at the hotel that they clean your room without informing you even when you are outside of hotel. I had gone out of hotel in the morning and returned in the evening with room keys. Even though motive behind it was good, i found this as breach of privacy as hotel have access to your room without permission.

The experience was good overall. Initially they got the room wrong and therefore didn't have us registered for breakfast but this was fixed and they allowed us to shower in the room that was given to us first so we didn't lose time. The staff are helpful and the grounds are good. The location is amazing, a 2 minutes walk to the beach and on the end of a main road full or shops and bars.

Location wise this place is good to stay but for the price they are charging they services are very poor. Bathrooms are so small. You need squeeze in. They have pool but timing are too bad, 9am to 7pm are timings, it doesn't make sense as people visit actual places in goa not their pool in those timings. Breakfast is good here but it starts at 8am, if you want to visit places in goa in the morning they you have to miss the breakfast. We requested for additional floor mats but no one really cared. We requested for late checkout but they charged for that also. Overall, if you are a foreign traveller and stays for more than a week, then it is ok for you. For indian who wants to stay less a than a week, avoid this place, not worth it.

Taj is the best in every service. We visited Taj Holiday for our anniversary and our stay was excellent. The Breakfast was amazing and had lot of varieties. Taj is the best hotel in hospitality. The Hotel lobby staff Saily helped us very much, upgrade our room to a Cottage and also gave us a complimentary anniversary Pastry and decorated our room. She also gave us some cute gifts on our anniversary. We also visited and enjoyed Taj Fort Aguada property as its accessible from Taj Holiday Village Resort, the property is amazing and has serene and beautiful beach views. Thank you Taj for the amazing service and hospitality. See you soon.
