Chalston Beach Resort

This was our first visit to India, we are in our 70s and we were both a little apprehensive but the reception staff were so professional/helpful all went very smoothly. We stayed for 17nts, with the following findings; Every member of staff we met were very pleasant, helpful and courteous. Housekeeping staff work to the highest standards in all areas. The garden's are stunning, the work involved was appreciated during our walk to the restaurant. Breakfast, all tastes are catered for with plenty to satisfy a fussy eater, the same can be said regarding the restaurant menu, service as ever was excellent. These standards can only be achieved by years of good management. We would say this is probably one of the best hotels we have visited, Many thanks to everyone at Chalstone for a lovely holiday. E&A

Thoroughly impressive hotel! Great food, ambiance, and proximity to the beach. The property is huge with two swimming pools. The only drawback is that one needs to walk a lot within the property. The breakfast spread is excellent! Truly memorable stay!

It's a family run resort and attention to details is amazing. Cleanliness and maintenance is top notch. They have two swimming pools and both are immaculately maintained. The Buffet spread is large and the food is good. The restaurant area opens to the Ocean.

Pros: 1. Situated right on the beach, the sea view from the restaurant is fantastic! In our opinion, that's the main highlight of staying here. 2.Clean and spacious rooms. 3. Lush green lawns, well maintained property and beautiful statues of Buddha :) Cons: 1. Once the restaurant is closed and lights are off the beach area in front of the hotel is pitch dark and become hard to spot the hotel. Please at least have a SINGLE lamp post on, and a bigger billiboard so guests can easily spot the back entrance. The security is also non existent there. Definitely needs improvement. 2. Better system to handle housekeeping -- The protocol is to hand over keys to the reception sometime during the day, and houskeeping will clean rooms. I haven't seen this anywhere else, where a guest is required to personally hand over keys to the reception desk, and room cleaning is shut down after evening. 3. Better handle customer requests -- In one particular incident I dialled up reception to ask for extra bottle of water, only to be told to redirect my call to housekeeping. A better thing to do would have been for them to coordinate with housekeeping than redirect guests. However, overall our stay here was pretty pleasant, and I elaborated on the cons only to hope them seeing addressed. Will surely visit again, if we decide to stay at Calangute.

Liked · Location is amazing: The hotel is beachfront and very close to town where all shops and restaurants are (about 10 mins walk). If you would like to stay in north this is one of few beachfront hotels. You always find a sunbed too. Staff: all very helpful, fast and acccommodating There are two pools which are not crowded too. Cleanness: very clean Restaurant is overlooking sea so it is very nice to have a breakfast or lunch. Disliked · Three things: it is a bit quiet, not even music playing in the background during day time and entertainment is the evening only on Fridays and Saturdays (very nice live band though!) Pools are a bit outdated and not really appealing in design. Toilet paper is of really bad quality - they use really cheap one.

Nestled cosily between Baga and Calangute beaches, this beautiful and serene holiday beach resort is a true gem in North Goa. The resort has rooms and cottages to suit all budget types and all within a minute's walk to the main beach. The rooms are modern, well maintained and equipped with all amenities you would expect and a little bit more too! The resort itself is set in a luscious green space, full of coconut trees, jasmine, hibiscus, boughinvillas and many other tropical plants and trees keeping in tune with the local flora and fauna. The 2 good sized swimming pools are wonderful with good seating and a wee bar area. The hotel has a great onsite restaurant serving Indian, continental and global cuisine all served with care and a smile by the staff. The food itself is quite delicious! Overall, I would definitely recommend this hotel for a short or long stay in Goa and for easy access to the beach, dining and local shops.
