We had a lovely time at the resort. It's right on the main road in Candolim and a 5 min walk from the beach. From the front, you can only see a plain building, but that hides all the luxury inside. The rooms in the main building are massive but the real treasure are the villas clustered around pools. Each 3 bedroom villa feels like a house and is very well furnished. Considering there are 3 swimming pools, it can feel like a private pool if you go at the right time. The food is delicious but if you feel like eating something else, there are scores of restaurants in the area, all of whom deliver.
The owner, Mr. Shelly, lives right across the street, and personally goes to each table at breakfast, checking about everything. This really makes a difference.
Shout out to Mr. Jeevan who gave us a great deal on a villa. It was a lovely stay and we will highly recommend it.

The owner of the Seashell Suites and Villas puts it perfectly - this is not a hotel; it's your home.
From the moment you arrive, to the moment you leave, you know you're in good hands. Every member of staff, from the front desk, to cleaners (shout out to Goutam who cleaned our room for us every day and was so incredibly attentive), welcomes you with a smile, 'good morning', and really gets to know you over the course of your stay, making the whole thing feel more personable and special.
The amenities cannot be flawed, nor can the rooms or location - everything was 10/10.
We have to give a special mention, however, to the on-site restaurants. Despite only booking for B&B, we ate here 3 times in our 2 week stay because it was so good! The chef worked with us each time to figure out exactly what we wanted and, after getting to know our tastes and preferences, even began preparing items off menu he knew we'd like - it was INCREDIBLE and a must try for anyone staying in Candolim.
It's especially nice to see and speak to the hotel owners and management at breakfast each morning, try the local cuisine, and get pointers of where to explore next. Genuinely, the visit cannot be faulted and we're already looking forward to a return visit in the future.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
While booking my stay in Goa I browsed countless properties in North Goa but reviews of Seashell made me book it and believe me I was not at all disappointed with my decision. This property is located right in the heart of Candolim with close market and beach access (Max 5 mins walk). But the best part of this property is its hospitality. Never have I ever seen such a warm, proactive and homely service. The breakfast buffet is amazing and the property owner never misses a day to visit during breakfast and ask your well-being. The hotel staff packed our breakfast during Dudhsagar visit, sent a nice chocolate cake to enjoy our stay and gave chocolate cookies to my little daughter. The room size is huge and cleaning is top notch. Overall I stayed here for 5 nights and enjoyed every bit of it and would highly recommend this property if you are planning to stay in North Goa. The hotel manager Jeevan went extra mile to make our stay and local sightseeing comfortable and safe.

We stayed in two villas as a group of eight for three days, and this was about as good as it gets. The upkeep is good, the premises are clean, including the three well-maintained swimming pools, the breakfast is splendid, the housekeeping is meticulous and responsive. That tops it all is the attentive and pleasant staff and management. The family owners and managers personally do the rounds during the complimentary buffet breakfast (with some items made to order) to make sure everything is good. They are also accessible and available in the Reception. The decor and greenery is good and it is quiet - they and the fellow guests let you be, if you want your privacy. This seems to be popular with a lot of Western visitors.
The gym is small with a combo weight machine, a couple each of treadmills, ellipticals and stationary bikes. To nit-pick, we'd have preferred electronic keys (programmable key cards), instead of the limited physical keys (two per villa, typically). More power outlets all over for the multiple devices we need to plug in. Clearly marked AC switches so that I could turn it back on after accidentally putting it off, without calling the front desk (they responded immediately and sent someone, though). A directory by the landline phones showing the numbers to reach the right hotel staff (it is 9 for the front desk / Reception). These were insignificant though, to a overall excellent stay.

Thank you so much for four amazing nights at Seashell. We have stayed at Seashell for the last three years and are so incredibly happy. Everything is perfect! The staff is amazing, the service is so high that we almost blush. The villas are large, clean, comfortable and so nicely maintained. We want to give the cleaners and gardeners a little extra thanks for their work, it’s amazing how nicely they do in the villas, in the garden and around the entire facility.
The pools, 3 pcs, are spotless and the sun loungers so comfortable. The breakfast is very well-stocked and all the staff do what they can to ensure that you have the best possible experience. We went up to the rooftop bar at the hotel and enjoyed a drink at sunset, the only thing you could wish for is some lounge furniture up there.

After receiving royal treatment at this hotel back in January we rebooked for our return in November. Front desk staff are class and you get the feel the moment you check in that this is a very well managed hotel. The room is extremely spacious, spotless and maintained daily to a high standard. The pool is clean, refreshing but not cold, area is relaxing with shaded areas or plenty of sun bed and towels, staff are attentive and ensure you keep yor drinks topped up. They have opened the roof top now so you can have a few drinks before dinner, Sandesh and Nibo looked after us up there superbly are great company and cannot do enough to service your every need. So onto the restaurant! I loved the breakfast and tried pretty much everything from freshly cooked Omelette to Indian Dosa which is like a hard rice pancake and delicious! I looked forward to breakfast everyday, the atmosphere was perfect and management and even the owner visits your table to check in on how you enjoying your stay, only at this hotel have I seen this level of engagement with guests from the management team and they really do care about you having the best stay possible. If you stay at this hotel you must have dinner at the restaurant, both breakfast and dinner is overseen by the world class Chef Nitin! He patrols the restaurant, recommends dishes and ensure they are cooked to your liking, this is an extremely clean and safe place to experience some of Goa great dishes as the were originally intended, the pork Vindaloo was simple remarkable and melted in your mouth, as were the side dishes. Chicken Cafreal from lunch and dinner was simple stunning! Nitin should be very proud of what he and his team create everyday as it just seems to get better and they only have their sights on perfection. This hotel is also fantastic value for money, beer is on par of not cheaper than some bars on the main strip, the food is also competitive but much better quality and the safer option for me. Some high level hotel charge a premium, not here! Every member of the team at this hotel go above and beyond to ensure your stay is enjoyable and relaxing, it really does have a sense of togetherness across all staff. Thank you all so much for creating the best experience possible during our stay.

This is a fabulous hotel. The suite rooms are just huge, breakfast so amazing, close to beach, restaurants outside are 2 mins away. Staff are always available and so caring and helpful. 3 gorgeous clean pools. Our room had a huge sitting area, balcony, fridge, shower. Lunch by pool was lovely. Rooftop skybar and dinner with view was great. The owner and chef walk around at breakfast to check all is good...such person touches. Surprise gift chocolate gateau to the room. Staff helped us organise transport and even ideas for where to get a haircut! One staff member even arranged some food to take at night for our trip to the airport as she had chatted to us about not being there for breakfast the next morning due to our late night flight to Kerala. She organised a little breaky box style box with some sandwiches! You feel special and it provides great way to relax.

My wife and I had an extremely enjoyable 10 night stay at Seashell in a very spacious Junior Suite. The first thing that strikes you on arrival is the friendliness and helpfulness of all staff -they could not have done more to help us. Such hospitality stayed with us throughout our stay whether it be the doormen, the gardeners, the reception staff, the cleaning staff, the restaurant staff (Sandesh and Chongpi were particularly helpful) and chefs (Nitin was absolutely brilliant), together with a daily visit at breakfast time by the owner and his son and managers. The room was extremely large and had a large twin settee living area and an extremely comfortable double bed. The room was immaculately clean and well serviced daily by Manmathi. The breakfasts were delicious with a wide choice of cuisines and mostly we ate dinner in the restaurant and sampled most of the Goan dishes which were delicious and extremely good value for money. We also took advantage of the pre ordered fresh fish and enjoyed a massive red snapper cooked to perfection. The gardens were spacious and immaculately well kept and the three pools were clean and well maintained. At the time of our stay (9th to 19th April) the pools were not busy and it was easy for us to find a sunbed in the shade. Overall we had a fantastic stay and hope to return one day.

We have just spent an eleven night stay at the lovely Seashell Suites and Villas. The staff here are absolutely amazing. Nothing is too much trouble for anyone. Attention to detail is outstanding. If you ask for something, no matter how small, it’s pretty much done immediately. The whole resort is spotless clean and every member of staff says hello with a big smile. Breakfast has a good selection buffet as well as eggs, pancakes and crepes cooked to order. The staff are very attentive and the owners come and say hello in the morning. We ate dinner in the restaurant on two occasions and had room service on a lazy night. The food is exceptional and is priced the same as outside restaurants. . We tried many tasty Indian curries with rice and breads. The rooms are large and comfortable but we have one tiny request, can you please upgrade your pillows. They are very much past their sell by date. Only a minor issue I know but a good pillow makes for a good nights sleep. If we are back in Goa we wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again. Thank you all for a great relaxing holiday.
