De Mandarin Beach Resort Suites & Villas, Candolim

Very comfortable and quite location. 2mins walk to the beach and 2mins walk to the main street with lots of restaurants, bars and shops. The property and buildings are well maintained. Breakfast basic, but sufficient. Staff is very friendly and supportive. Stable internet connection for office calls and they even provided a table and chair to the room to work comfortably. Spacious room with a lot of storage capabilities, so you dont have to live out of your suitecase.

Only small negative impressions are the gym, which is not well maintained nor clean. And the mattress was a bit uncomfortable. They could not provide smaller pillows.

Location and nearness to beach . The staff were exceptionally helpful

Nothing much. But it’s not right on the beach. You have to walk through a field. But it’s just a short walk

All the staff was exceptionally friendly, helpful and professional. I had a couple of questions and the were always happy ans able to help. I loved how close the hotel is from the beach - only 3-5min on foot. The breakfast buffet was delicious especially the selection of savoury vegetarian food! I stayed in two different rooms - the suite is really good of you wanna stay for more than a couple of days since it's very spacious.

There are only a couple of minor details I would add to the rooms (according to my personal preference): a small light on the nightstands (so you don't have to use the big, bright lights on the ceiling before bed), hooks to hang towels in the bathroom. Also this place is on the pricier side, I would choose the suite over the deluxe room (which is pretty small) for better price for value :)

Great hotel, and a little oasis of calm, close to the beach and shops/restaurants. The room was comfortable with a separate lounge with a fridge. The bed was very comfortable and housekeeping changed the towels and sheets daily. Our room overlooked the pool with a big balcony, chairs and table. Breakfast was very good and lots of additional items cooked to order. It was a very short stroll to the beach where we found many beach shacks with sunbeds/parasols and towels available free as long as you purchased something. The staff at the hotel were very helpful and friendly. We would certainly recommend staying here.

Nothing

. The location to the town was perfect being very central. Our hotel had the advantage of being on the right side of the main road for the beach which was accessed by a short sandy path. The beach itself is excellent and clean though sometimes the sea is a little rough due to the wind. We really enjoyed the beach shacks which provided comfortable loungers, clean toilet and excellent lunch. We found the hotel grounds attractive and peaceful. Our bedroom suite was very comfortable and spacious.

We didn’t like the amount of litter along the Sandy bath to the beach and thought it would be politic of the hotel to occasionally send a member of staff to pick up the litter. The hotel pool was very nice and quiet, but we think the chemical they use to sanitise it was not chlorine and whatever it was burnt our eyes and made our skin itchy if we didn’t wash it off well afterwards. Breakfast was fine but would’ve benefited from a little more variation.

We had to spend a lot of time in the restaurant when the dishes we ordered would be ready to eat.

Breakfast ok. Location perfect for the beach

Property needs some upgrades
