Wow wow wow that's all I can say, what an amazing romantic peaceful tranquil place. The staff and managers make the place feel more special and treat there guests as they are royalty. As soon as you walk up to the enterance you are taken back from the neatly snuggled up tables nestling around he trees plants and vegitation. You here the sound of running water because of a remarkable water feature that is similar to a waterfall which immediately gives that Aroma of being next to nature. The staff are so happy and enjoyably guiding you through the menu and assisting with your needs. We came here as a man and wife wanting peace and romance and we certainly got this 100 percent. The mesmirising setting and seating area was something out of a fairytale and if you have been to Tuscany Gardens and think that is special then believe me Tuscany Gardens is good well this is 50 times better. The food is pan Asian syle however does have an Indian Goan selection. The Asian food was amazing and to die for. We was also informed that the food is sourced from the garden so to be true to this restaurant this is a real gem of locally sourced items. We could not believe the waitress had picked items from the garden and then offered for our sampling. Which was amazing and that extra touch of class to make you feel king and queen. We was waitored on by a lady and man who both kept moving around out table to top our drinks up. We enjoyed the little bell presented to ring when you need anything. my wife enjoyed ringing it like Mrs bucket or lady Diana. What what what what what excuse me, lol. This is a true gem of a place with honest people waiting on and the manager came over to offer his face and to insist if we need anything don't hesitate to ring the bell for attention, which we did to get more and more drinks and food. We loved every moment and enjoyed the peace and tranquil atmosphere, please don't change a thing this is a hidden gem. The toilets are nice clean and fresh. There is inside seating areas and a bar area with tv to watch if that's your thing. They are upgrading the sports bar area where there is a pool table if you want to enjoy a bar area after dining which is a nice touch and it away on another area through doors so you don't spoil the peaceful area of dining, which is perfect. The food was amazing the drinks was fab and can't wait to return we had one of the most romantic nights in Goa so far. Thankyou to the staff we are greatful of your hospitality. Hope to see you soon. The restaurant have accomodation and we was shown one of the rooms all I can say is wow wow wow it's a place you can easy spend the rest of your life in the rooms. Top 5 star accomadation and superb facilities. It's only a small walk to the beach less than 5 mins and I would say this area has the better class of beach shacks. Near by there is 7 rivers brewing co, Taj hoiday village, casino, Tuscany Gardens, droplet beach night club, palms and sands restaurant, fishmans hut beach shack, yazu restaurant. All within a stone throw away and each one of these will make your stay in candolim/ sequin more enjoyable than beach road and main road hustle bustle of the traffic, dust and horn pomping mad Indian drivers. For me this room and restaurant would all I would need for my vacation and it would certainly make me feel I was in the Maldives. if I was to have one thing to encourage my hotel booking then I would love for the future to see a small pool area to Dip those toes in on the hot sunny days, it's not really too much as the beach is very close. Can't wait to return and perhaps book out stay here for next year. Thankyou, ps if you are heading to tuscanys gardens for a meal then before you go in just take a peak and you decide I know I would chose this everytime. Its less than a 1 min walk away from Tuscany and I enjoy the food and atmosphere there but this is better much better a thousand times better. I am an honest holiday maker and do not have any ties with any restaurants or staff I just make normal judments and I believe trueful and...
Read moreFANTASTIC! I previously owned an open-air garden restaurant in Costa Rica. Not in my wildest dreams could I have imagined the beautiful setting SHIVERS DELIVERS. From the moment you come through the historic feeling gates, to a paver parking lot with easy parking, relaxation begins. Lolo's giant smile will meet you at the bridge over the stream of Koi fish entering the restaurant. I liked the spacing of tables giving each their own speaking privacy. At this point, Rahul will be getting your drink ready, for me Wood Burns bourbon, but I saw some nice Mojitos being served, as you begin the journey into excellent dining options. It may take a drink to decide; there are so many great ones. I always start with the Calamari Rings, or ask for a Calamari/ Shrimp salad (not on menu) it IS SUPERB! Can't go wrong with the wings as well. If it's only one meal, head to the CRAB CURRY NAGA STYLE. Chef Ruth's favorite and I can understand, DELICIOUS! Fellow Patrons, I haven't got to the best yet! After enjoying your ART WORTHY MEAL, head into the AIR CONDITIONED BAR AND LOUNGE, and have a drink with Esilida Dsouza the owner. She is the most delightful person for a solo traveler to have met in all my years adventuring. A smile that goes perfectly with the personality, a native Goan, you will have a new friend in Candolim Beach. I loved eating here so much last vacation, I had Lakhan, manager, show me one of their four Luxury Rooms called Oasis. The detail in these rooms are luxury US level. I could not believe such a reasonable price. I enjoyed breakfast in bed at 9am for TWO WEEKS. The staff was incredible for everything and very, very quite doing so. AMAZING PRIVACY. The most noise heard is the monkeys in the distance and endless birds visiting all the flora throughout the property. The staff here want to assist with ANYTHING TO MAKE YOUR STAY MORE ENJOYABLE. Laundry, scooter rental, sight seeking, and anything else you may need. I needed a pool table to shoot on and HEY, they have a game room upstairs that kept me busy most nights. SO TREAT YOURSELVES TO SHIVERS AND THE OASIS ROOMS FOR YOUR NEXT VISIT TO CANDOLIM. YOU WILL BE IMPRESSED! Special thanks to Melroy D'souza, the...
