A Perfect Birthday Getaway at Hilton Goa Resort!
We stayed at Hilton Goa Resort for my birthday, and it couldn’t have been more special! From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The highlight was walking into our beautifully decorated room — balloons, and a lovely birthday setup that made me feel so celebrated.
The views from the resort are stunning, and the entire property has such a calm, luxurious vibe. The food was fantastic, especially the breakfast spread, and every staff member we met was warm, polite, and genuinely caring.
Thank you to the Hilton Goa team for the thoughtful touches and for making my birthday trip unforgettable. Can’t wait to come back again soon!
All staff were great. Facilities were great. Housekeeping gave us mosquito repellent so we could sleep peacefully. Rooms were spacious and clean.
Only issue was during breakfast as it is quite chaotic, but I would blame the guests for that as many don't have common courtesy. Some are picking food with their fingers directly from the buffet and not using utensils provided. Some are standing close to the buffet and eating their meals without any concern for other guests.
Overall a great stay and would definitely stay again.
The hotel is in a great location. Very friendly welcome.
We were shown to our room and things explained.
The balcony was small but ample.
The room should have contained robe and slippers but these were missing, although didn't affect our stay so not a real issue.
The pool is small but was very quiet and provided a nice cool off. Towels are available at the counter.
The hotel is located directly on the beach with beech shacks and restaurants on the beach very nearby.
The hotel does not provide beach loungers BUT if you head to a beach shack and buy a drink or two, they will allow the use of a bed for free. Directly out of the hotel gate on the beach there was a lady with beds trying to charge 500 rupees for a bed for the day. This is not necessary when you can get a drink for less with a free bed. We nearly learned the hard way.
The bed was far too hard for me, resulting in reduced sleep, but some people may prefer a firmer bed. My partner slept better than me so this was a personal experience. The bedding was nice quality though.
The whole place was clean and tidy. Rooms made up every day in the afternoon so not disturbed early morning which is nice.
The rooms are not soundproof so a lot of noise can be heard from outside when people start moving around in the morning.
Staff were friendly - everyone had a smile, and nothing too much trouble.
We only experienced breakfast once, and I would say it is ok as long as you don't expect a full English fry up (which in my opinion you shouldn't as you're in India). The food was hot, tasty, and fresh. There was plenty to choose from for a breakfast selection.
If I was to fault the breakfast, to provide a suggestion, providing tea and coffee black so that customers can add their own milk would make it more accessible to all. I can't drink too much dairy so had to give this a miss.
Then the only real downside to this hotel we found is when checking out, you are made to wait until the room has been checked, in case you steal anything. I completely understand this, but this should be made clear when checking in. We had booked a taxi to arrive at check out time, which could have resulted in additional costs for waiting time. Just to be mindful if staying here and arranging onward travel. Or maybe the hotel could make this policy clearer upon checking in.
All in all a very nice stay in Candolim and this hotel was a good choice.
Beautifully located property. However, many elements related to maintenance and upkeep were sub par.
1. The first impression of the room was that there was a drainage issue in the bathroom. We quickly left after checking to travel in the city while informing the front desk for it to be fixed. When we returned late evening, the issue persisted and there was still water clogging in the bathroom. It was finally fixed after a second request.
2. The Wifi was interrupted continuously with an initial landing page of pay- for - service which was later clarified by the front desk to be an error.
3. The balcony latch was also broken and we have to get that fixed as well. It seemed like we were there for a hotel inspection and audit rather than vacation
4. We also believe that these issues were of less importance to the staff because we explicitly overheard them talking that we would be checking out the next day (this was on day 2 of the stay).
Отличная большая территория. На рассвете по газону гуляет много птиц. Классный пляж, один из лучших на Гоа, что мы видели. Номерной фонд немного уставший, но все чисто и по сервису претензий нет.
Начну с лучшего: персонаж шикарный, начиная со входа и все с кем нам довелось взаимодействовать, вежливые, улыбчивые, искреннее настроены помочь и максимально удовлетворить все ваши адекватные потребности - это просто пушка, мегареспект. Приезжали всего на ночь с семьёй, это была вынужденная остановка, но к отелю это отношения не имеет, утром на завтраке нам приготовили лучший за все время омлет с молоком, потом мы спросили кашу, которой не было и какао, парнишка даже не знал что это такое, загуглил и нам все сделали! Территория красивая, дорога на пляж приятная, номера прекрасные! Песок на пляже мелкий, скрипучий как снег - просто рай!!
Ну и минусы которые требуют категорического внимания:
1. Пол в номере был ОЧЕНЬ грязным, мы приехали поздно вечером, уложили детей, приняли душ, ходили там по номеру, а утром посмотрели на свои ноги и офигели. Жена ради прикола взяла салфетку и провела по полу - лучше бы этого не видеть🤣
2. В бассейне очень чистая вода, сам бассейн с разной глубиной, очень комфортно - НО, в детской, более мелкой, зоне бассейна просто невозможно находиться, очень сильно тянет мочой из туалетов, прям воняет именно на уровне воды и метр выше. Если отплыть в противоположный конец, там все хорошо, проветривает.
3. Мы с проблемой не столкнулись, но мне кажется маловато лежаков на бассейне и пляже(8 шт), возможно пляжные лежаки больше актуальны для европейцев, тогда должно хватить.

TTema GОтель расположен в очень красивом месте: рядом широкий, чистый пляж с белоснежным песком, который хрустит под ногами, как снег — ощущения просто невероятные. Само место очень спокойное, идеально подходит для расслабления и перезагрузки.
Территория отеля ухоженная, всё чисто и аккуратно. Номера тоже приятно порадовали — светлые, чистые, с ежедневной уборкой. Отдельно удивило наличие массажёра для ног прямо в номере — такая мелочь, а добавляет удовольствия и уюта.
Сервис на хорошем уровне: персонал внимательный, всё проходит комфортно и без лишних вопросов. Завтраки — отдельный плюс: большой выбор блюд, всё вкусно, плюс можно заказать свежевыжатые соки.
Из нюансов — довольно высокие цены на массаж и спа (примерно 7–8 тысяч) за 60 минут, поэтому мы решили этими услугами не пользоваться.
Также на территории есть спортзал с тренером — мы ходили, остались довольны.
В целом, отель оставил очень приятное впечатление. Хорошее место для спокойного отдыха у моря, куда хочется вернуться.
