Whispering Palms Beach Resort

Breakfast was very good, plenty of selections of both european/english and indian fare. Location was very good only 5 min walk to the beach and hotel provided towels to take to the beach. Also similar 5 min walk to centre of Candolim were numerous shops, restaurants, bars and entertainment are close at hand to choose from. As the sun beds around the pool were always taken very early we were lucky to have a ground floor terrace room with patio doors leading outside into the garden with two sun beds for our room, very picturesque, pleasant and quiet.

All the sun beds situated around the pool area were taken up very early by people placing towels on them, although often no one was using the bed. I think this hotel mainly caters for all inclusive residents. The bar drinks and restaurant food/menu other than the breakfast was just about OK. Food menu selection was poor, the beer was not very cold and other drinks did not come with an offer of ice or lemon/lime etc without requesting this after the drinks were served. In addition although the prices in Goa are very good, the price of drinks was more than many many other restaurants and bars to choose from. We were on room and breakfast basis, so as such (above comment) never ate at the hotel other than breakfast and only had evening drinks there with friends on one occasion early on during our stay.

The food was excellent. The location in the middle of town and 2 minutes walk to the beach was perfect. The evening entertainment was varied and very enjoyable.
