we stayed there for 2 weeks the hotel setting was lovely the staff were great the owners have 3 dogs who have the run of the hotel but are no bother at all as long as you like dogs if you dont do not book this hotel the food was good but only a very small menu the pool was great we used it every day although the hotel is far out there is always a taxi wating out side if you ask the driver he will run you about all week and always be there wating for you at anytime in all we found the hotel exelent value and would stat there again if we return to goa

So first of the all the no kids thing. Well as the owners explain they have a wild but tended garden , a load of dogs a pool and only a few but very good hardworking staff. So kids is just a danger they don't want to handle. Unlucky for good parents but very lucky for those wanted a quiet romantic stay.
The hotel is beautiful, the staff friendly and easy to communicate with. The food is very traditional homemade portugese Goan and delicious. The pool is small but will keep you cool. The location is tucked away just outside the main throng of Anjuana and surrounded by beautiful countryside.
Oh and free internet in the restuarant. Well recommend for a romantic time.

We stayed here for 8 days and loved every one. The staff are so amazing. I had my birthday during the stay and they put a big bunch of flowers and fruit in the room. The garden is so beautiful and it feels like you can just escape from the crazy parts of India. Nice to see the dogs and the food is good.

Well its was my 2nd time at the tamarind again,this time we stayed for 3weeks,we loved it so much that we recommended the place to our friends who we met on holiday 2008..they liked what they saw and came with us!!! I must say we had a fantastic time AGAIN,the hotel is away from the hustle and bussle very peaceful place,we met some fantastic people whom we keep in contact with,the staff couldnt do enough for us..thank you JON,ROWAN,SMILER,POOLMAN simply everyone,especially those who had to cancel there plans and stay on working looking after us due to the volcanic ash disprution we ended up staying an extra week...and enjoyed every min...we were kept informed id say very minimal but that was no fault of the hotels but our Rep!!!!We kept the same room and was given the same service.The only fault i have with this hotel is the could put a little fridge in and maybe upgrade the fans a little,oh and maybe bedside lights abit higher as the get very hotel.I love this hotel and staff xx Thank you all at The Tamerind.
