Candolim
Beautifully nestled in a quiet area of Goa, this Portuguese themed boutique hotel enjoys the perfect beachside location on the beautiful stretch of Candolim's Golden Sands. Arranged around a vast central pool area, in a place where the gently shelving expanse of sand and garden runs from the grounds to the warm waters of the Arabian Sea, the property welcomes holiday-makers to a true-heaven like surrounding. At it they can enjoy the scene of a spectacular sunset almost every evening, while sipping chilled cocktails at the terrace of the onsite bar. The disco lounge is the place where they can move for some late evening entertainment, while the two restaurants offer a varied and rich cuisine and a pleasant ambience to perfectly complement the fine-dining experience. Guests can enjoy a relaxing body massage at the spa, or work out at the fitness centre.

Great experience at Sonesta Inns
My stay at the hotel was very good. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Rooms were spacious and clean and had great pool view. Location was excellent not too busy area but accessible and very close to beach. Quiet as well since it was monsoon season. Also food was excellent. Overall great place to stay in North Goa.

Lovely stay again ☺️
We spent 28 nights here, and our second stay at this hotel. Fantastic location, quiet spot, close and easy walk to beach and shacks. Lovely decent size pool, plenty of sunbeds to relax on, pool boys are great, moving the parasols around to keep you shaded, bliss 😊 Plenty of restaurants within walking distance too. Always taxis waiting outside hotel. Your in between Calangute and Candolim so easy access to both areas. Rooms are a good size, this time we got a suite (has an extra room with dining table and small settee, bath with shower over). Large comfy bed, good pillows, aircon in both rooms. Small fridge, coffee/tea making facilities. The rooms are okay but the bathroom could really do with updating, just old, tired and very used. Rooms were tidied and made daily, we had decent thick bath towels, shower gel, shampoo and soap, hairdryer is okay. Breakfast was your typical Goan buffet. Couple of cereals, eggs anyway you like. Doza and spicy sauces, different breads, 3 fruits, lassie, milkshakes, cappuccino, all quite nice. The staff are lovely, they remembered us from last year. Weather was amazing 🌞🌞🌞 We would have no problems returning again.

This is one of the best beach resorts to stay in North Goa
The property is just a one-minute walk from Candolim Beach, with a private pathway that makes beach access extremely convenient. The room service is excellent—quick, efficient, and very reliable. The rooms are spacious and comfortably accommodate three adults, even with an extra bed. Cleanliness is well maintained, with fresh bedsheets and towels provided. The breakfast is outstanding, offering a wide variety of options suitable for all age groups. The swimming pool is large, clean, and well maintained, adding to the overall experience. The location is a major highlight—situated right near the beach and also close to the main market area, making everything easily accessible. Candolim Beach itself is peaceful and clean, making it an ideal destination for both Indian and international travelers. Overall, this is an excellent beachfront property and a great choice for a relaxing stay in North Goa.
