The hype
Great location and friendly enough staff, but the property is aging poorly and cleanliness is a major gamble.

Pesan ini jika You want a central crash pad in the heart of Candolim and plan to spend 90% of your time at the beach or bars, not in the room.
Mengapa Orang Menyukainya
- Prime location on the main Candolim-Calangute road
- Walking distance (10-12 mins) to Candolim Beach
- Surrounded by supermarkets, pharmacies, and restaurants
Ringkasan Cepat: A tired hotel coasting on its location that desperately needs a deep clean and a maintenance overhaul.
Ditinjau oleh @sooumyadip: I needed a quick escape and this place was perfect. The pool area is surrounded by palms, making it feel like a jungle oasis. My room had this beautiful canopy bed that felt super luxe. It’s an amazing value for a 4-star stay in Candolim.

Reality check
The '4-star' rating is a marketing mirage; expect a 3-star experience with worn-out furniture and maintenance delays.
- You prioritize being in the center of the action over room quality
- You are a heavy sleeper who isn't bothered by street noise
- You just need a place to drop your bags and shower

FAQ & Tips Tersembunyi
Semua yang perlu Anda ketahui sebelum memesan.
Is the pool actually usable?
Hit or miss. Recent reports from early 2026 describe it as dirty or green. Check it visually before jumping in.
How far is the beach really?
It's about a 700m-1km walk (10-12 minutes). The walk involves dodging traffic on narrow roads, so be alert.
Is breakfast included?
Usually yes, but it's a basic buffet. Expect Indian and Continental options, but don't expect gourmet quality.
Does the hotel have a gym?
Technically yes, but it's often described as a small room with broken or rusted equipment. Do not book for the fitness center.
Are there hidden fees?
Standard bookings usually don't have them, but third-party packages might include mandatory meal charges. Gala dinner fees apply on Dec 31st.
Is it couple-friendly?
Yes, unmarried couples with valid ID are accepted, but the lack of cleanliness might kill the romantic vibe.
