The Tamarind Hotel

Must use transport to reach the beach or it's a fair walk to town. The food here was incredible and a beautiful spread for breakfast. Good vibe for solo or group travellers. Would travel here again.

We were travelling from Mumbai to Goa by car and decided to give The Tamarind Hotel a shot as it is near the entry point in North Goa. The price was a couple of hundred rupees lesser than 'The Park Inn' at Candolim. A room cost us nearly Rs. 4100 per day (including taxes) and we booked for 6 days. The staff there is very friendly but I feel the management is not good. Doors with holes, cracked bathroom tiles, door knobs that don't work open by themselves, bathroom latch what doesn't latch the doors, fire spots on the floor ... are just a few issues we experienced when we entered our room. I brought this to the notice of the manager called 'Leslie'. The air conditioner has a mind of it's own. The next midnight a group of guest stared celebrating someone's birthday at the top of the voices, at the pool side for nearly any hour. I called to complain at the reception. The man called 'Amodh' at the reception told me that they had given permission to cut the cake (pool closes at 8pm). After repeated calling, he handed over the phone to another person called 'Raghav'. He told me that I am the only guest complaining. People come to Goa to enjoy and the I should have patience as the celebration will be over soon. The noise ended at 1:15am. I was able to sleep past 3:00am. The next day 'Leslie' asked me if everything was alright, although he was already aware that I had complained. I asked him to refund me for the rest of the stay. He said he can't as the booking was made through Agoda. He offered to upgrade me to a Premium room. The 'Premium' room which should have looked premium was worse than my current room. The bathroom door was made up of iron pipes which was rusted as looked horrible. I denied and continues to stay there. Breakfast was nearly the same thing over and over again. Possibly the worst experience in my life so far.

owner was really humble and helpful but the staff was awefully arrogant and irritating

Staff were very pleasant, the room was wonderful and very clean.

Excellent wi-fi and good location..very comfortable with all aspects well taken care of.

The Tamarind is a small but beautiful little hotel located in a place convenient if you want to travel across multiple beaches in North Goa.. though the closest beach is about 3 Kms away. The Premium rooms are the best ones, though a couple of them in the secondary building are pretty secluded and below par. The 'Cotinga' restaurant is beautifully decorated and the food is delicious - especially their desserts. Overall a beautiful place with acceptable staff.

Room size is little smaller than expected.

This hotel had amazing food. The only catch was the price of food. It was a bit overpriced. We stayed in the Goan Suite which was a pretty good room. The swimming pool was nice and the breakfast buffet was delicious. Overall a good experience and I would recommend travellers to try this one out.

Decent stay

We were 5 friends travelling to Goa so we booked a deluxe room through Agoda and a goan suite through Booking.com The room was really good n worth all the money we paid the only suggestion I would give is try putting an exhaust fan in the washrooms. Coming to the suite we definitely weren't very impressed as it was just not worth the money we paid the view was terrible , had constant problems with hot water for 3 days we didn't get hot water in that shower on the whole we expected suite to be way better than our deluxe room. Coming to the staff they were very helpful n sweet they have a 24/7 restaurant which was great though buffet breakfast included in the stay was lil disappointing as it said full English breakfast but it wasn't close to that but nonetheless not bad. Overall it was a lovely stay but we really wished the suite was better.
