Sonesta Inns Beach Resort - Candolim Beach

The hotel complex is spotless cleaned all day and ALL the staff I can’t complement enough always smiling. Some of their names Elizabeth Nishith The day and evening staff always go beyond and above. The choice of breakfast and evening meals are well thought of. Gladly recommend this family resort

Husband & I stayed for 2 weeks Jan -Feb 2024 & had a great stay. We’d booked a suite through TUI & were given room 103 (ground floor) with a pool view. Our suite had a separate seating area with sofa, dining table & chairs & a corner unit which housed the fridge. The bedroom had a large comfortable bed, large wardrobe for plenty of storage & great air conditioning in both rooms. Bathroom had a shower within the bath (could be quite slippery so take care when getting in & out) & sometimes early in the morning the water was cold. Pool was lovely, loungers available with parasols for shade & the pool *** always available with clean towels. You could also order drinks & snacks around the pool. Follow the path through the back of the grounds past the breakfast area to get to the beach. We stayed on a bed & breakfast basis which was served outside in the spacious grounds. Breakfast was great, both cold & hot options available ***** with egg & dosa stations. We only had a couple of dinners in the hotel restaurant but thought these were great value for money & now have a new favourite curry (prawn balchao). Staff - every single member of staff here is a credit to the hotel & couldn’t do enough to help / give advice on local restaurants etc Would love to come back but we have also noticed that the pricing for January 2026 works out at just over £9,000 for 16 days & that’s on the hotel’s own website!

Great location near the beach, but taxi ride or 1/2 walk to main town. Plenty of decent restaurants within walking distance and hotel food excellent, just lacks atmosphere. Pool and garden lovely, room a bit tired and you need to book a pool view room, rooms facing the other way have pretty dreary views. Breakfast ok, food options sufficient just quality letting it down, egg station compensates for this. The outstanding attribute of this hotel is the staff, they were all amazing.

We wondered where our transfer minibus was taking us as we went down a narrow dusty road. It then pulled up by this lovely hotel. The grounds are lush and beautifully maintained. Our room was large, with a large balcony overlooking the pool. The bathroom adequate, the shower superb. The large swimming pool is clean and well maintained, there never seemed a shortage of loungers. The men by the pool are quick to supply you with towels. We only had breakfast at the hotel. The freshly made dosa and omelettes are excellent. Nitya, the breakfast chef, was always cheerful and prepared excellent food. All the staff were friendly and helpful, the young lad who cleaned our room fitted in with our timings and was always helpful. The hotel is sat next to the beach with beach shacks offering sunbeds or shaded seating in return for buying a drink. It isn't ideally placed for the centre of Candolim or Calangute, but both are easily and cheaply reached by taxi or tuktuk.

We stayed here for 4 nights it was a company conference it is my first time trip to Goa we like the hotel very much good foods and services, our room is pool view and enjoyed the pool they play pool side Dj music evening which is very nice if you want to enjoy your evening. Special Thanks to Team Sunny, Francis, Macvin And Manager Nishith for wonderful hospitality.

We visited Goa and stayed at Sonesta for the first time, following a recommendation, to celebrate my wife's 60th birthday – and it was an excellent choice. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming, accommodating, and caring. The resort was spotless and well maintained throughout our stay. The food was absolutely divine – I genuinely enjoyed every meal I had there. The chefs were truly outstanding and more than happy to cater to any special requests we had. A heartfelt thank you to Melita and the entire team for arranging a surprise cake and for making the whole experience so memorable and special. We also had great fun singing karaoke for the first time – an unexpected highlight! I would wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to friends and family, and I’m already looking forward to our next visit. Ketan & Kirti.
