Aldeia Santa Rita - Candolim

Not sure where the negative reviews have stayed but it doesn’t describe our experience . From the moment you are dropped off at the hotel you are greeted by the warm friendly staff , desperate to shake your hand and welcome you and this us just the norm every time you pass a member of staff or are served by them , within a day they’ve remembered what room you are in and your regular drinks order . It is right that the choice of food could be classed as limited at lunch and on the buffet nights but the quality is excellent, definitely quality over quantity , although there are 4 pages of choice on the alternate a la carte menu . Breakfast again although limited choice you can ask for things not on show like scrambled and poached eggs cooked to perfection . Our intention was to eat out mostly but quality of food was so good we were scared of missing out .Are the rooms dated ? Yes but cleanliness supercedes this .All areas have good WiFi but it is India so be aware of off temporary power cut and drop in shower temperature but these really are minor annoyances compared to everything else . Located within a 2 min walk to the beach and close to numerous good quality and value for money rester-aunts it really is ideal . The TUI guide is informative and is willing to purchase things on your behalf to get a better deal . The hotel has a tailor , masseuse and jeweller . Tailor and a ridiculous , I had 2 made to measure shirts , ready in 2 days for £16 . If you are looking to find a place in the sun to relax and be treated well this is the place .

First of all you cannot be urself there,if we do not want to eat the breakfast even if you opted for it,its a sin,suppose you party late night and sleep during the day and if you miss the breakfast the staff makes a big issue out of it,who are they to interfere that way,its purely our choice to have breakfast or not to have breakfast..same is with the usage of swimming pool,its our choice whether we want to use the swimming pool or not use even if you have opted for it,it depends on our personal mood,but the staff over there instead of leaving the people to decide what they want to do,unnecessarily keep poking their noses in somebody else's business.Also,they have an issue if we order food at the room/hotel,they are so damn rude if anyone does that,in that case they shouldn't leave the menu at the room or shouldn't keep the ivr at the room,a pathetic pathetic place..Also the route which goes from the resort to the beach is not at all safe,its not fenced and open and after sunset there is no chance that you can use this route,its really really dangerous,so they have to make some more provisions from their side to make this route much more safer to use.

after paying the full price for two rooms still can't have the complementery brekfast and even asking more money for daughter even after correctly selecting eight year old kid, And rooms are under standard too for nearly Rs9000 price mark. Got this hotel recomended by a friend however won't recomend it to anyone.
