Candolim Beach Hotels

I stayed at Fortune Acron (R.No.2404) on a six day break at Candolim with wifey and my baby girl. It is a great place to stay for the following reasons: 1. Amazing staff- i've never met such a 'ready to help and serve,' bunch of youngsters. Sincere, affable and courteous to the core. This hotel is a great place because of these youngsters and others making up the staff in Fortune Acron. 2. Great Location- Just 700 metres from Candolim Beach. And there is a shuttle service of Wagon R (s) operated by extremely polite and full of info about the town drivers- Rama, Vijay and Robert. Three great guys! Rama even loaned me Rs.20/- when I didnt have change for my Limca. And he never asked for it till I paid him! This shows character of the place! So thank you Rama, Vijay and Robert. I also want to thank Satyavan, the security Guard at the Gate *****with the young sardar and the fellow from Karnatka. 3. Dining staff- Rohit Barnwal is amazing, and is the most charming of them all in this hotel. The bartender Anjan is cheerful and a great guy to talk to. So were Neeteesh, Nirjala, Sheen ,Vikram and others whom I dont recollect but were amazing every single day. Prithiviraj and Apoorva at the reception are elegant and very friendly. So are the young ladies whose names are escaping me at the moment. 4. Piano Session in the afternoons with Joachim 5. Musical evenings and nightly Bazar in the Hotel lobby. 6. Extremely prompt housekeeping with Eqbaal, Dhruv, Yeshu and others. The lifeguards at the pool side were very efficient and vigilant with little kids. The only improvement that I feel is a better rotation of receipes in the buffet dinner. Otherwise Fortune Acron Rocks! And it rocks bigtime.

I recommend this hotel, but there are some caveats. The rooms are gorgeous! The bathroom amenities are premium. The reception staff is generally friendly. Unfortunately, the breakfast isn't at all suitable for Europeans; it's purely Indian. The omelettes are very thin and small, and the toppings (we ordered cheese) are very limited, so we always left hungry. The pools are very clean and large, and the grounds are beautiful.

The hotel is in a great location. Very friendly welcome. We were shown to our room and things explained. The balcony was small but ample. The room should have contained robe and slippers but these were missing, although didn't affect our stay so not a real issue. The pool is small but was very quiet and provided a nice cool off. Towels are available at the counter. The hotel is located directly on the beach with beech shacks and restaurants on the beach very nearby. The hotel does not provide beach loungers BUT if you head to a beach shack and buy a drink or two, they will allow the use of a bed for free. Directly out of the hotel gate on the beach there was a lady with beds trying to charge 500 rupees for a bed for the day. This is not necessary when you can get a drink for less with a free bed. We nearly learned the hard way. The bed was far too hard for me, resulting in reduced sleep, but some people may prefer a firmer bed. My partner slept better than me so this was a personal experience. The bedding was nice quality though. The whole place was clean and tidy. Rooms made up every day in the afternoon so not disturbed early morning which is nice. The rooms are not soundproof so a lot of noise can be heard from outside when people start moving around in the morning. Staff were friendly - everyone had a smile, and nothing too much trouble. We only experienced breakfast once, and I would say it is ok as long as you don't expect a full English fry up (which in my opinion you shouldn't as you're in India). The food was hot, tasty, and fresh. There was plenty to choose from for a breakfast selection. If I was to fault the breakfast, to provide a suggestion, providing tea and coffee black so that customers can add their own milk would make it more accessible to all. I can't drink too much dairy so had to give this a miss. Then the only real downside to this hotel we found is when checking out, you are made to wait until the room has been checked, in case you steal anything. I completely understand this, but this should be made clear when checking in. We had booked a taxi to arrive at check out time, which could have resulted in additional costs for waiting time. Just to be mindful if staying here and arranging onward travel. Or maybe the hotel could make this policy clearer upon checking in. All in all a very nice stay in Candolim and this hotel was a good choice.

Very friendly staff of the entire hotel, well-kept green clean area, clean pool, good breakfast (a lot of Indian cuisine, but also the usual European ones), cleaning every day without reminders. The room is spacious with 2 air conditioners and a huge track, excellent Wi-Fi, unfortunately we were only 5 days out of 18 in Goa, because there were no places for the entire period. To the sea at a leisurely pace 10 minutes. Nearby on the central street there is all the infrastructure of recreation - cafes, shops, fruit stalls. We will be happy to come back again! Thanks to all the staff for the atmosphere of hospitality and goodwill!

Its nice place to stay with all facilities and enjoyment are available in this place. No hussle everything is in your hand to enjoy.
