The best thing about the hotel is its location. Its bang on the beach. The ambience, service, food everything is great. I really cudn’t believe that it’s a Govt. run hotel. We were there for 4-5 days & had a very memorable holiday. And now we have decided that if we visit Goa again, it wud be definitely the “Calangute Residency”.
Initially we had booked a non AC room. On reaching there we asked if any AC rooms were available. The staff over there showed us both, the non AC rooms & the Deluxe AC rooms. Feel even the non AC room was good. But then the AC Deluxe room was even great. So we went in for the same. The ambience of the deluxe room was not less than a 5* hotel room. It was quite spacious with a balcony. The staff is very helpful. Every morning they wud change the bed sheets & clean the room.
The room service is also very quick. The restaurant Blue Bay attached to the hotel offers gud food. You order anything & they wud get it for you within 10-15 min. There’s one Souza Lobo restaurant nearby, they serve great food. But both of them are bit costly. Above all, they charge you 12.36% Service Tax on your final bill amount.
