Pros:

Cozy near and clean rooms. location is very good

Cons:

Water pressure in the bathroom was weak, hence the shower experience was poor. AC was not working in one of the room. Power cut in the night every 5 mins.

Too good
Pros:

Property is well located and very close from most of the places. Hotel is very aesthetic and clean. Rooms are huge especially the bath area. Food is too good even the breakfast was healthy and delicious . I liked the bakery section they serve one of the best cakes, must try any cheese cake. All the staff members are very helpful.

Cons:

Pool can be cleaned regularly as there was flies and some things from trees floating on the corners.

Lovely stay
Pros:

The café being open till 3 am was honestly a game-changer — after late-night drives or long beach evenings, we never had to scramble for food outside. Just came back, settled in under the fairy lights, and ordered dessert and coffee like it was the most normal thing in the world. That kind of unhurried, late-night vibe is something most hotels simply don't offer.

Amazing stay
Pros:

Honestly, the garden at The Tamarind was an unexpected highlight — mango and jackfruit trees, a charming little wishing well, and quiet pathways that make you forget you're at a hotel. It feels more like a cozy old Goan estate than any concrete resort. My morning walks around the property with a cup of coffee were something I genuinely looked forward to every single day — sometimes even more than heading to the beach.

Needs an update
Pros:

Breakfast was included and staff were very friendly.

Cons:

The property has great potential but is looking a little run down and tired. We were served fanta on arrival, which was a terrible first experience (rather than a beautiful local fruit juice). The swimming pool was half empty when we arrived, and looked too run down and filthy to swim in, disappointing when you have kids.

Nice experience
Pros:

My stay at The Tamarind Hotel, Anjuna was truly delightful. The property has a serene charm with beautiful Mediterranean-inspired architecture that instantly gives off warm Greece-like vibes. The room was tastefully designed, bright, and inviting — perfect for a peaceful Goan getaway.

The staff were exceptionally courteous and attentive, always greeting with a smile and eager to help with even the smallest requests. The ambience of the hotel felt both relaxing and homely..

Overall, it was a memorable experience filled with comfort, charm, and genuine hospitality. I would happily return on my next visit to Goa.

Pros:

I loved every aspect of the hotel and the facilties but there are three points of improvement.

Cons:

Three Points-
1) if i can have a bicycle on rent
2) Breakfast to have more options
3) Swimming pool to be more clean and clear and have certain timings so that the maintence can happen
