Do not be fooled by the amazing pictures and very grand entrance. After that, it is at best a 3 star hotel.
The site has been over developed, so there is a pool, but nowhere really to relax other than your room.
The room was clean and modern and nice. The view was just tops of buildings.
We had booked a package that included upgrade, beers, dinner, snacks, On arrival, the check in person just wanted to upgrade us to another room, until I pointed out an upgrade was included in the package. I don't think he did upgrade us in the end.
We had booked 2 nights wanting to just relax in the hotel and sit by the pool. However, the first day we saw someone coughing their guts up and spitting it in the pool, so we just couldn't go in the pool after that. So we basically just sat around waiting until we could check out. We later found out there was kayaking about 15 minutes away - wish I had found out earlier as we could have done that.
We had booked dinner both nights, but all the food was spicy and there was very little we could eat. The staff were very apologetic but all they could offer was cheese pasta. Same for breakfast, it was all Indian food other than fruit. This is more of a local hotel than catering for international guests.
It is a 20 minute walk to the beach, but I wouldn't say there was anything redeeming about Calangute. If I had booked this for a weeks holiday I would have been crying. We were very glad to check out and move on.
