Sonesta Inns Beach Resort - Candolim Beach

Neat and wonderful property with lovely swimming pool

Gym under construction

Amazing pool

Rooms need refitting

Everything! From the location and proximity to the beach, the grounds and rooms were second to none. It was a perfect oasis in the middle of a quieter area of Candolim, albeit a close taxi ride to the hustle and bustle. The rooms were spacious and clean with water and all the amenities you would expect. The pool was clean and refreshing especially on the humid days. Chandra the Manager was ever so accomodating and helpful. The breakfast and food was delicious and freshly prepared. A highlight was the Eggs, Channa Batura and the Mango Milkshake. Highly recommend!

A little bit of mould on the shower but understandable with the humidity at this time of year.

Nah zum Strand weg von der rummeligen Straße

Property was excellent

The only thing that I didn’t like about the property was I had a first floor room which I should’ve asked for a ground floor because I suffer with degenerative arthritis of the knees my own fault for not enquiring

What a lovely property this is. The location is perfect, close to the beach, close to restaurants and very close to the centre of town too. The staff at this property are lovely. Everyone here had a smile on their face and went above and beyond to make our stay a memorable one. The breakfast was a good selection of both Indian and Western spreads and the rooms here were very nice and clean. Would highly recommend this place and will surely be back to stay here again.

Nothing at all.

Location

Dated room

It was perfectly situated the staff were all amazing perfect for older people as a cab rank right outside and access to the beach Right outside on quiet street restaurant called Harmony, again great for those who struggle to walk run by beautiful Nepaleses people absolutely amazing

Not their fault but march a lot of mosquitoes Everything else perfect

Местоположение

Все хорошо

We had a wonderful stay such clean & hygienic room the best part was its beach access

Good location. Comfortable rooms. Good pool area. Easy access to beach. Very good breakfast.

Reichhaltiges Frühstück. Super Raumeinteilung mit dem sepataten Zimmer. Sehr schöner Garten.

Ruhige Lage, und netter Strandabschnitt

A brisk walk away from the beach. Amazing holiday home for a calm and chill holiday .

Fabulous location 2 mins walk to beach, lovely rooms, great service

Close to beach. Easy access to the shopping and restaurant area. Staff were easily available, friendly and engaging.. Checking out and in was easy and stress free.

Path to hotel was a rocky narrow slip road.

Everything... only stayed one nite 😍

My sheets felt not just changed 🤔 and the floors needed moping 🤭 hand towels were missing...they would be handy like bathroom mat 😊

Hotelli on lähellä kiireistä Candolimin ja Calanguten aluetta, mutta kuitenkin syrjässä kaikesta kadun hälystä. Ranta tällä kohdalla Candolimia on mielestäni kivoin ja rauhallisin koko Sinquerim-Baga-rantapätkällä Goassa. Rantaan pääsee myös hotellista päällystettyä polkua pitkin, joka on iso plussa rankan rantapäivän päätteeksi. Hotellin allasalue on kaunis ja viihtyisä.

Aamiainen jättää mielestäni vielä parantamisen varaa, mutta on kuitenkin kivan monipuolinen. Huoneeni kylpyhuoneen ovessa pahat kosteusvauriot, tämä ei kuitenkaan parin yön oleskelua haitannut.

Nära stranden, bra frukost, trevlig personal

Luktade mögel på vårt rum,

Clean comfy rooms, nice pool and fab breakfast

I wasn't aware that the ocean was permanently off limits. That would put a damper on a lot of people's holidays. Maybe let people know?

Close to beach and walking distance to the street with ample restaurants etc

The decor is outdated. Old fashioned bath, sink etc As result it looked not properly cleaned, also no net curtains on window/patio door. It was difficult on the ground floor as no privacy without her curtains.

The gardens and pool area were exceptional.

Rooms needed re decorating

Great pool area, though some guests reserved the sunbeds from early morning so very few were available. Very sweet and attentive staff. Very close to the beach.

Breakfast was not to my taste. Would have loved better coffee.

The staff!

Not enough sun loungers around the pool.

Ruime, schone kamer. Heel dicht bij het strand

siisti, rannan läheisyydessä, ystävällinen henkilökunta, tilava huone.

aamupalalla ei ollut juustoa eikä leikkeleitä, eli 8 päivän ajan söimme vain munaa eri muodossa leivän päällä, lisäksi puuttui tomaatti, kurkku ja salaatti...

Everything .

Nothing

Catered for all guests excellent

The service from the staff, particularly Marc was the best! Super kind and attentive

The rooms were not super clean - found hair on the floor. Also, the garden view was not the best

Location is the peak value Staff behaviour is good, responsive Clean and tidy rooms, well maintained swimming pool with adequate hygiene.

Fixtures are old ,I got hurt by the room fastener and bathroom shower adjuster . Washrooms are cramped leading to get dirty and water spillage quickly. Also no.exhaust fans so you have to open the side window for outlet .

The proximity to the beach and the pool area.

Rooms are very dated and the bathroom is dire.

Proximity to the beach.

Its by no way a 4-star property. This resort doesnt even have the basic housekeeping items like a hair conditioner. The hair dryer looked very old and i was scared to use it. The rooms were old and didnt really have the look and feel of a 4-star property. They didnt have their own spa or salon. Very bare bone property that should at best be 2-2.5 star.

Close to the beach

Doesn’t look like 4 star hotel

Aivan ihana henkilökunta, ystävällisiä, avuliaita, iloisia. Paikat pidettiin siisteinä, niin ulkona kuin huoneissa sisälläkin. Ranta muutaman kymmenen metrin päässä. Altaalla tuotiin aina pyyhkeet aurinkotuoleille, eikä kukaan voinut pitää niitä vain varattuina koko päivää. Koska, jos tuolit tyhjinä jonkun aikaa, työntekijä haki käytetyt pyyhkeet pois. Rannalla ei tarvitse maksaa aurinkotuoleista. Tarjoilu pelasi molemmissa paikoissa. Vaihdoimme huoneita pariin kertaan, ensimmäisessä huoneessa vessa ei toiminut kunnolla. Pääsimme siirtymään isompaan. Sieltäkin vielä siirryimme sviittiin, syytä emme oikein ymmärtäneet. Tämä pyyntö tuli hotellin johtajalta. Olimme siellä n 2,5 viikkoa yhteensä. Ei tuottanut meille ongelmaa. Myös ensimmäinen huone oli riittävän iso kahdelle. Henkilökuntaa oli tosi paljon, nurmikon hoitajat, siivoojat, ravintola henkilökuntaa. Ulkoalueet tosi siistissä kunnossa ja niitä hoidettiin joka päivä.

Hotelli jo iäkäs ja näkyy rakenteissa. Pintaremonttia voisi tehdä moneenkiin kohtaan. Ei vaikuta olemiseen ja majoittumiseen. Vain ilmeen kohennusta. Pistorasioita ei juurikaan ylimääräisiä. Sängyn vieressä vain yksi molemmin puolin, jotka yölamput sitten veivät. Myös erittäin väljät, ei meinaa töpseli pysyä rasiassa. Kylpyhuoneessa ei yhtään pistorasiaa. Aamupala tällä hetkellä suurimmaksi osaksi paikallisten syöminkejä. Toivoisin otettavan huomioon myös eurooppalaisten toiveet. Tuoreet vihannekset ja leikkeleet ja juustot puuttuvat kokonaan

Quiet, beautiful setting that was very close to the beach.

Nothing

Proximity to the beach

Poor cleaning of rooms , dirty bathrooms, threadbare towels. Room service does not clear dirty dishes for two days - and then there are cats and crows spreading the leftover food all over. Room furniture in the superior room in decay. Cigarette holes in the sofa. Shower mixer faulty. I went for the free breakfast on the first day and skipped for the next 3 days - terrible quality and selection and completely avoidable. Pool - large groups of men fully clothed entering the pool ( not swimwear ) and in general large groups of men all over the hotel. A lot of noise by large groups sitting by the pool at 11 pm/ 12 am. This is not the Sonesta I once used to stay in. At over Rs.10,000 a night plenty of far better options available in Goa.

It's just an amazing place..got a awesome Deal ..everything about the place is a wow ..thanks to Chandu for outstanding service ..will surely visit again

Nothing

Location

Everything. Extremely poor maintenance. Toilet leakage in the most expensive suit room. Rude staff. No co-operation. Cockroaches in the room.

Location

Everything about this place is exceptional.. we stayed here for the 3rd time.. season or off season.. it's the same every time.. access to the beach and their inhouse restaurant food is just to vouch for!

Location

Pool water was not good

The pool

Not much choice at meal times, although staff did bring us an ‘English’ menu to choose from too which was thoughtful of them

Absolutely loved staying here, if and when we return to Candolim I will stay here without hesitation. All the service staff were amazing but have to say the smiles that Raj and Sunny had everyday infectious, Jit Francis, Madden, Ganesh, Prakash and the lovely guy who took care of our room Nichith you also had lovely smiles xx everyone went above and beyond for everyone who stayed. There was also a conference at the same time and in no way this affected our stay excellent.

Location firstly, peaceful and solitude

Wi-Fi was hit and miss in certain areas.

Wonderful friendly staff especially on reception. Very nice pool area. Great location near to the beach and shops/restaurants etc.

Not impressed with the selection at breakfast so settled with fresh made scrambled eggs every day. Would have liked sourdough bread for toasting. Nice location outdoors but many flies unfortunately. Had to sit on a hardback chair 2 days near the pool because all the sun loungers were reserved by 7.30 am however some towels sat there for several hours with no guests returning. Therefore on day 3, I was forced to go to the beach to get a comfortable seat, not ideal as a solo traveler.

Staff were great. Location was great.

People putting towels on sunbeds at 5am to reserve them.

Great hotel and pool. Food was top notch

Nothing

Proximity to the beach

Not enough sun beds around the pool

Everything its the best and secure place for me and my daughter

Good a bit fruit 🍋‍🟩

Very caring staff ambience

Very friendly staff who are attentive and professional from the manager to the room valets. Property is well kept and the rooms are nice and comfortable . It’s not a corporate hotel , it has a more cosy family feel to it . The food is delicious . I ate in most days which was very unusual for me

All really lovely

Everything is great about the property. Location is fantastic - one of the best in Goa. The staff is soo courteous and helpful. This is my 3rd stay in this property.

Breakfast buffet was varied, good quality food and service. Location was excellent (off the main noisy strip, 3 minute walk to it) and private beach and beach shacks access. All the staff were excellent.

Nothing

Everything was amazing, from the staff to the setting and the location. Facilities were fab, pool staff were very friendly. food and drink costs were great, and the breakfast was brilliant

N/A

The location, service, staff behavior, food, hospitality was outstanding.

The Gym was non-operational. The prices are on the higher side.

A little sanctuary of calm away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life in Goa during the dry season! Perfectly located a short walk down a private pathway to a beautiful beach and a handful of great beach bars.

On the beach.. Friendly people.. Room cleaned everyday and fresh towels daily.

Lovely hotel, quiet location away from the very busy and noisy main road. Pool well kept. Spacious rooms. Attentive staff. Food superb. Service excellen

The telephone calls to remind us what time breakfast finished - we already knew! And the cleaner, who although he was very good at his job and very pleasant, ringing the doorbell habitually to see if we needed anything - even at 8.45am when we were asleep!

Breakfast was delicious, nice garden, pool, bar. Beach was nearby and was nice a clean

Nice little hotel, great pool and access to beach, rooms are a little dated but still clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and eager to please.

This was our third visit to this hotel, we like it as it is a little peaceful oasis, lovely gardens and pool and only 50 meteres from the beach. The staff are fantastic and can't do enough for you.

Because it's set about 500m off the main roaf there aren't always taxis available so you have to walk up to the main road to find one, which in the daytime is fine, at night it's a bit dark but safe.

Everything was very good. Staff & food excellent

Beautiful gardens, pool & breakfasts. Lovely staff, very helpful. Convenient taxi & bike hire at the gate. Location private from the main road with short walk to the beach. Easy 1 hr trip to the airport & short ride to other attractions in surrounding areas. Great shopping in Goa.. dental, hair dresser & optometrist services nearby too a bonus.

Pool was nice and nice staff. Property was more dated than we expected.

Gym was mouldy smelling and had obviously leaked or flooded. Was quite off putting. Aircon in restaurant was a bit too cold but staff were helpful and nice.

Good

Service was okay

People in the resort were nice , very service oriented , proactive and prompt

The property did not meet my expectations and fell short of the promises made. There are several issues: 1)Misleading claim of private beach access: The property claims to have private access to the beach, but in reality, the pathway is inaccessible. To reach the beach, you have to cross a drainage area, which is not safe, especially with children. I never used the so-called "private beach," which was the main reason I chose this property. I paid a premium compared to other options on Booking.com based on this claim. How will you compensate for this inconvenience? I can share a video of the pathway for better clarity. 2)Gym in poor condition: The property advertises a gym, but it is in a deplorable state—stuffy, foul-smelling, and covered in dust, making it unusable. This was another major factor in my decision to book this property. Again, I would like to know how you plan to compensate for this issue. 3)Ongoing construction work: The property is under maintenance, with workers engaged in painting, drilling, and other construction activities. It’s hard to relax on a holiday with kids when surrounded by dust and the smell of paint. The situation feels more like being in the middle of a city like Bangalore or Mumbai rather than a peaceful getaway. 4)Request to share videos: Booking.com, please provide a way for me to share videos of this disappointing experience. It could help others make a more informed decision

It was quiet being the end of the monsoon. The pool area is great and well maintained. The restaurant is good. We had a balcony room away from the pool giving us a nice private place. Staff were helpful and friendly

Bed linen and towels need to be upgraded and pillows replaced

The hotel had very nice facilities and grounds with a big quiet pool area. A short walk to the beach but as we were at the end of monsoon swimming was not permitted. Beach shacks closed but starting to open up. Restaurant was good and provided a good range of food Staff very friendly, polite and helpful.

The linen in the room was very tired and a bit thread bare. But clean. Pillows need to be replaced as sweat stained inside.

Food

Amenities cleanliness value for money

A place where staff recognised you in and out of the hotel. To facilitate a pleasant experience in Goa. Worth to keep coming. Thanks everyone for making a few days worth gold. Will come back!!

Nothing to highlight.

Great for families, and singles as well. Cordial staff and caring premises.

They to much fight with me they receptionist like Owner They insulting me for breakfast Because of Booking.com, give me free breakfast for all person and they said me Don’t book by Booking.com they don’t allowed to breakfast

Service Is good.

Location of the hotel. High pricing on food that you get
