Pros:

If you are looking for a resort vibe, on a small scale, that is family friendly, this is a great option.

We were looking for a little bit of peace and quiet to recharge our batteries and it is exactly what we found staying at the Novotel. Great service, nice infrastructures, lots of food options on site and a pool to enjoy the sun without the crowds of Candolim Beach. The hotel is well located, the beach is a 9-minute walk. The staff was very helpful and keen to give us tips and tricks. Beware of taxi services in the area. Although it has nothing to do with the hotel, it is worth mentioning that it is quite a challenge to move around in Goa for a reasonable price, especially when you are leaving a resort like this (Uber and Goa Miles don’t really work and the fares proposed by drivers are way higher than anywhere else in India). Do your research in advance. Again, nothing to do with the hotel itself, but it can impact your decision. If you are looking for a place to chill, we recommend!

Pros:

The service was great and the staff were very accommodating. The hotel feels a bit worn out and needs a bit of an uplift for Novotel standards and the price you pay. Also, they don't have enough pool lounges to accommodate the resort occupancy. If you do not get to the pool early, it's very hard to find a lounge for you to relax. The whole pool is in the shade of a huge tree, which is great, however the pool water is always freezing cold. There are also lots of berries form the tree on the bottom of the pool. The pool also is very unsafe as it has tiles missing especially on the floor so you have to be very careful when walking around the pool. Most of the edges of the pool are also very unsafe as the tiles are not flush and hence there is a rough edge which can cause cuts. The area around the pool is also very slippery, which caused quite a few people to slip and fall.
The breakfast was great and had a great variety. They also made fresh omelets, Dosas and Uthappams. Room service was good, however we often had to call multiple times to get a bucket of ice! They had a Christmas day buffet lunch with drinks for Rs 2500 per person, which was great. Overall, the food and service were great, however the pool and accommodation let us down for Novotel standards.
Location is great as it is walking distance to the main road (approx 7 minutes) where there are lots of shops and restaurants and about a 15 minute walk to the beach which was great as well.

A very pleasant stay close to Candolim beach
Pros:

Large, spacious hotel. Rooms set alongside a large, airy atrium area. Room was reasonably-sized, clean and comfortable. Well-equipped bathroom, WiFi worked throughout. Staff were friendly and helpful, allowed us to store bags and helped with a taxi to airport. Breakfast was good, a large spread including omlets cooked to order, not busy too. The outdoor area was nice with a play area for children. However, the one disappointment was the condition of the pool - loose and broken tiles not ideal, especially for youngsters. Located on a quiet lane close to Candolim Beach Road and beach area.
