De Mandarin Beach Resort Suites & Villas, Candolim

Food, Hospitality, staff, location and ambience in one package. It was an amazing experience. Welcomed with a welcome drink. We were at the Apricot restaurant and the restaurant staff was really approachable, smiling as well as very hospitable. Cheers to them. I am sorry I don't remember their names but you guys were just fab. Niranjan from the housekeeping helped us with the luggage and he was very hospitable as well. I mean, I had a wonderful experience and will plan to stay here again in near future.

Very good

..

Proximity to the beach; landscaping was gorgeous. Staff were exemplary.

Every thing

It is a central location, very clean and very friendly and accommodating staff

Nothing

First of location : Resorts location is mid way to the Candolim main road (200 metres) and private access route to the beach(200m) so you get a quite beach (with good Shacks and beach chairs). Away from the candolim day crowd Property: only disadvantage is rooms with lower budget gets ground floor with no balcony pls see to that it gets little stuffy, it’s always better to have rooms with balcony for atleast drying wet clothes. Rooms r medium sized comfortable Food: in-house chef and staff very nice they made good food and drinks was not so expensive also Swimming pool : small but adequate for a nice swim after the beach but extra chlorine at times Beautiful property worth the stay as so many good cafe in and around and easy assessibility

Ground floor room didn’t have balcony and staff quaters is behind the room

Everything!! Miss mansi and the reception, the lifegaurd at the pool, diwakaran from the house keeping everyone were super amazing staff. The location is like on the beach. The rooms are very good.

The breakfast spread could be better.

Property is good, decent and clean. Good breakfast. Excellent 👍

Bit more parking space…

Near to beach.. beautiful..near to all facilities

See the rooms first before checkin.. doesn't look as as shown in pics..

Locarion , spciaous rooms, very good housekeeping and food service staff

Food spread in breakfast, facilitiws are old....O had to change room as flush was not working, pool ia not standard

Nothing, they cancelled my booking on the day when I was at the property.

I booked this place in the morning. Booking was approved. I showed up in the afternoon and they said they were overbooked and they cancelled my reservation, saying my credit card was declined (lies, i used the credit card at Hyatt the next day). I had no place to stay that night, luckily Hyatt had a room.

Location, the amount of guards (made us feel unsafe in the area), getting rules that are not advertised (not allowed to meet friends and family on the premises) the road to the beach is filthy trash everywhere.

Great spot in Candolim. Very close to the beach. Spacious rooms, Excellent staff and service. Food also tastes really good. Highly recommend this spot for your next stay in Goa.

Could add a few more resort activities, at present there is only a pool and gym on the premises. However given the beach is really close to the propery i guess that is alright.

Courtious staff, good location

Not much features of a resort, pool closes at 1830 Hrs. In scorching sun, one would like to take a dip after sunset and not in the sun to avoid sun burn.

Value for money

Modernize the hotel, its showing age

My second time staying here. This time with my family. At first there was a mix up with the room. The the host accommodated the right villa. My mum is elderly and can not manage stairs to well. I was initially give a room on the 3rd floor.

I have not complaints as the host accommodated our needs

Cleaning Spacefull Location Nice place

What a delightfully stay we had in one of the Villas at the end on March. The Villa and pool were perfect. Cleanliness of the resort and rooms was amazing. We went half board and had the option of eating either lunch or dinner at the resort each day which was the best decision made. As the food was amazingly tasty and the level and standard of hygiene extremely high. The best part of the stay were the lovely staff members who were always smiling and helpful. Special thanks to Atik who was immensely kind to our two young boys.

I can’t fault the resort at all, if I had one suggestion it would be to improve the path from the resort to the beach. The resort is only 2mins from the beach. If the pathway was kept clear of rubbish the overall stay would be 10/10.

The ambience, staff

Nothing

Friendly staff

What could improve get drain covers sometimes there is a smell in the bathroom drains

Beautiful property close to the beach. The staff were excellent and very friendly. The food was delicious and the rooms were spotless and well cared for. We had a wonderful experience and we’d happily go back again.

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

Location was very good

Nothing

Excellent location right next to the beach. The staff were very polite and genuinely helpful. Special mention to Atiq who was extremely polite and took great care of us throughout our stay. Also, thank you for arranging the hotel taxi that took us to North Goa and then dropped us at the airport on our last day, which made the logistics very smooth. Breakfast was very nice, and the room and facilities were good with decent space.

Important note: The main issue was the room type description. We booked assuming it was a “2-bedroom” option for 4 adults, but it turned out to be 1 bedroom with two folding beds in the living/hall area, which wasn’t adequate for our requirement. As a result, we had to pay extra on arrival to upgrade to a proper 2-bedroom suite. (Although reception staff added manager discount and reduced this additional amount as much as they could) We paid a premium because it was peak holiday season, so it was frustrating to have to spend more due to what felt like an unclear room description. It would really help if the hotel and/or Booking.com made the bedding layout more obvious at the point of booking, so guests don’t get caught out and have to pay more to get the room they expected.

Spacious rooms,nice pool area,very close to the Candolim beach

Staff.. Big smile on face and ready to help wherever I need

Nothing!

Все великолепно, на высшем уровне

Staff - Atiq and Maya were very helpful, warm and welcoming. Location - very close to the beach (2 mins walk) and also to the main road with supermarket and shops at a stone's throw distance.

Breakfast options can be better. Room cleaning / housekeeping can be improvised.

Good location, big room size!

Lack of kids play options, pool is not kids friendly. Good restaurant service and staff. It’s pricing for the overall experience.

Devisas the manager, fantastic service

Location was great, a short 3 minute walk to the beach. Rooms were clean, well appointed and spacious (massive lounge, bedroom, bathroom and balcony). Breakfast was excellent and with really nice coffees too. Restaurant was great with an extensive menu which was very reasonable, the food quality was superb. Staff were amazing with everyone and genuinely happy to help and serve you. Pool area and grounds are very well maintained and well kept. Hotel is very secure.

Easy Beach Access. Food is very good. Staff is polite and very good.

Swimming pool is small .

Schönes Zimmer, guter Pool, tolles Essen, sehr nette Bedienung!

Zwischenzeitlich sehr laute Musik, die man bis ins Zimmer hinein hört. Der Strand ist sehr überlaufen und für alleinreisende Frauen nicht zu empfehlen.

Breakfast is very good, tasty food

No comments

Chef Mr Kadam and Ati food and Hospitality Was too good.. Overall stay was good near to beach..

Parking is littilt bit far away but it's OK

Location was good. Food options near by are plenty. Beaches are near by. Spacious room.

Food is average. Breakfast included, you will be bored on 2nd day itself. Stayed 3days, 1 full night AC stopped working but couldn't resolve at night. Good room service during the day, evening or late evening you need something then staff is not good enough to solve things or reluctant to do things.

We used the Family suite and this was great for our purpose. Remember its on the first floor, so only suitable for an active family. The rooms are comfortable size wise and clean. Location to beach was great. Easy access to rather non crowded portion of the beach. Overall great value for money and spot on for the rooms.

Breakfast wasn't great. Even though it had a wide selection, nothing was tasty. Parking is a bit far from hotel so if you're driving yourself, you have to drag your luggage 200 mtrs. There is a real bad smell on the approach road due to rotting garbage.

The waiters in the restaurant and the housekeeping were very kind and attentive

Spacious, super clean room, lovely large villa vibe with a gorgeous garden and pool, very sweet and helpful staff and service. They also referred a very reliable taxi service. Had a perfect holiday and would without second thoughts book here only if I were to visit Goa again!

Nothing to not like

Close to beach (not a beach front) within 200 meters, good options for food and shopping

The swimming pool maintenance person was annoying, stayed intact as we were in the pool passing comments on us, unnecessary policing as if we're first timers in the pool. After paying a premium we need some privacy

Staff was friendly and stay was comfortable

Food options should be better as per Goan style.

When I checked in room which was allocated, they have one PSU socket could not charge multiple devices.They provided extension box which didn’t support devices. AC was cutting out often. When asked for different room was refused mentioned all occupied. However rooms were available.

I think the staff made all the difference. All of the staff were very helpful and friendly and that too in a natural way :).We reached really late for check-in so still we managed to get lunch which was very comforting after a long drive to Goa. All the staff from reception to restaurant ( Kamal) were very welcoming.The room which we took was large with a seperate living area which was great.

Everything was great.

I was stay 4 night , including Breakfast and dinner package during booking , staff is very supportive , very clean and neat , food was excellent for Breakfast and dinner package, specially prawns fry. Behind gate direct entry to sea beach , family suit with balcony is recommended and swimming tank is also clean and neat, I will stay agin in next coming year.

Lovely hotel- room was a bit dated (think we got the old room) AC was very noisy. Pool, staff, breakfast all brilliant would definitely recommend

Clear Clear and easy beach and nearby restaurants. Good family time.

It's difficult to choose if to stay in property or visit the place both are equal good

Great location just a short walk to beach and shops. Very clean and staff couldn't do enough for us. Pool area and gardens lovely.

NA

The hotel was clean and exceptionally well maintained, the gardeners worked daily to make the gardens beautiful. The staff were so friendly and polite. It was a short walk to the beach just as shown but also close enough to the restaurant and bars but far enough to not hear the noise.

We have no complaints about anything.

The full place is amazing. I think the room descriptions under sell. We had a family suite. 2 huge bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. Massive living room and balcony. Great location. Can’t beat the full experience.

Nothing all great.
