I loved our time at VJ's. The food and service was excellent. We enjoyed chatting with the owner and his wife. (massages only $14) There seems to be a community of tourists that return to the same shack every year. It was nice to feel welcomed and part of that. We were not bothered by sellers on the beach.

Visited VJs Shack for the 2nd Year running, still very friendly and with great food ( Chicken Noodles to die for ) . Has the added bonus of a pristine flushing toilet. Positioned on Candolim Beach opposite the fast diminishing remains of the River Princess. More

We visited Candolim at the beginning of December for one week, once again VJ and his staff made us feel so welcome, they are lovely people and nothing is too much trouble. The food is fantastic, you can have anything you want whenever, nothing is too much trouble. There is a toilet and shower, both of which are extremely clean.... More

We have been going to Candolim for five years and have visited many shacks and VJ's is the best by far. Our last two holidays have been spent there and we have enjoyed every minute, having fun and laughs all day long. VJ is a great host, who is friendly and very helpful. All the staff are polite and can't... More
