Hotel Country Inn & Suites By Carlson (Candolim, India)

The golden sandy beaches are less than a ten minute walk away and the main Candolim beach aroud a 20-minute walk away. The hotel itself is set back from the main road so it can be peaceful and tranquil here yet you are just a short walk away from the hustle and bustle of the main resort or just a 30-minute drive away from the large town of Panjim where you will find lots of different shops and markets and many different places to eat out and enjoy a drink.

Customer service from the staff here is outstanding with nothing ever too much trouble for them and in addition they are always polite and friendly and will always greet you with a warm smile. Many have received praise and have been mentioned by name in reviews by previous guests.

Rooms are very large with lots of space to move around so you don't feel hemmed in and the large balconies make the room feel even bigger in addition to having lovely views looking out over the pool.

The drinks can be quite expensive in comparison to other places nearby and there have been reports of the prices changing from one day to the next which confused guests.

Some previous guest found that the food didn't really cater for Western tastes although they were happy to have curry for breakfast.

A good clean is needed as the décor and furniture is starting to look tired and dated and in some areas it is quite dirty and in need o f a thorough deep clean.
