Stayed here in January 2012, our fourth visit to this hotel. Our experience was fantastic from start to finish. Check in was speedy and efficient which was important as we arrived at midnight. We were in room 1201 in Zai block right facing the bar and this is the best room we have stayed in at this hotel. The room was huge with a good sized bathroom, flat screen TV and tea and coffee facilities. There was plenty wardrobe and cupboard space for all our stuff, and a safe which we paid a refundable £40 deposit for. The room was cleaned to an exceptionally high standard with clean towels every day, arranged in different designs every day including a plane on the night before our departure.
The breakfast area has been refurbished to a high stadard and the breakfast choice and standard is excellent with Indian and Continental options available.
As always the staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly and sorted out any minor issues we had.
Candolim was a little busier than the last time we visited in 2011 but still not crowded.
We spent most days at the beach at either Bobby's Shack or Bayview shack which are both excellent with great food. There was a issue with the police limiting sun beds at the shacks to only 10 beds which meant that some days beds had to be removed when the police paid a visit. This was a bit annoying but as we were on the beach early most mornings not a huge problem for us. It is however a real issue for the shack owners as they are losing money with customers having to go elsewhere if no beds were available.
We ate at Rising Waves a few times as it the food was excellent. We also ate at Inferno, Coco 21, Top Nosh and Cutty Sark which were also very good.
Spent most evenings at the Mango Grove; good atmosphere and live music and also ate here a couple of times as the food was very good.
We have already booked up to return next year and can't wait to return. I would highly recommend this hotel for high standard of accomodation, food and service.

good hotel and staff
stayed over xmas and new year 2011, very helpful staff situated for all amenities and bars etc .

if in candolim try ninos nook bar for a cheap drink and experiance also bending bamboo jambalya and the bistro by the mermaid best meal i had. also try ice n spice ask for jay or vic for trips out elephants etc, ice n spice is on the right hand side of the panjim road candolim turn off.

This hotels in a great location. I upgraded the room and it was fantastic it only cost around 100 a week for me to upgrade and was well worth it. As I visited with the dreaded monarch flight of death via kwaite scam they only give the crappy rooms at the back. The breakfast is lovely, the pool relaxing and nice, Indian cookery classes where fun. Only downfall drinks more pricey all the hotel could be found at the bar at the top of the street into the late hours. But most hotels are more costly and this is goa you should be out. P.s if you do get sick of stake please do try the mermaid it doesn't look much but the fillet stake is out of this world. And it's so cheap. You won't regret your stay at phenix park and the taylor is quality ...enjoy:)

My visit to India was absolutely wonderful. However from the many places I visited and the various hotels I stayed in, the best was undoubtedly the Phoenix Park Inn Resort situated in Cadolim Goa. The highlight of that hotel is the amazing friendliness and hospitality of the staff. From the moment you step into the hotel, you are treated and served like royalty. The lovely pool area makes for a perfect day of relaxation. With A variety of exotic, delicious food and beverages I enjoyed my holiday in Goa without having to step out of my hotel! The rooms are immaculate and comfortable. On my next visit to Goa I will deffinately be staying at the Phoenix Park Inn Resort and I would highly recommend that you should!!!
