hi keith, thinking of booking the girasol ourselves next month, been to candolim last 2years. this is a new hotel at the back of the stonehouse restaurant, at the quiet end of candolim, dont know much about it but it looks very nice and relaxing on the photos. if we dont end up there well probably settle for phoenix park hotel abit further into the centre of candolim. good luck and hope you have a good holiday wherever you stay, ian, manchester.
