I think this is the Penisular Beach Resort on Holiday Street Calangute same street as Goan Heritage and Maggies. It was only built 2 years ago we have been in a few times to look at rooms,prices etc just nosing really.always on the lookout for somewhere new to stay, some of the rooms are quite nice but some are dingy with no balcony,the pool and gardens are well kept, but what struck us as being strange was there was never anyone at the pool or on the sunbeds or in reception a bit like a ghost town with the most obnoxious security guard on the front gate,sort of got the impression they didnt want anyone staying their a bit wierd really, it was about £22 per night per room the wife was not impressed at all she thought it was a little bit strange. :shock:

Just got back a week ago, We had breakfast in Emmas Kitchen a restaurant next door to and overlooking the Peninsula Resort. It looks lovely and clean but empty I asked the waiter about the hotel and made a comment about it looking empty he just said "there are Russians staying their"
I was always curious to know what Philfell wrote in his pm.
Best of luck
Allan. :hmmm

No we never stayed,phil sent us a PM as he went and had a nose,he said it was grim to put it mildly.Maybe things have changed in the last eleven months though ? Another point seeing as they have been mentioned the Russians are going to ruin goa.Not PC but true

Passed it several time daily when I was there last month, it was at that time full of Russians so it must be being used by one of their tour groups and will continue to be for the rest of the season. There was also a lot of Indian tourists from other states staying there as you could tell by all the out of state number plates parked outside I was'nt aware it was being used by any U.K. tour companies The actual Hotel is less than five years old as I watched it shoot up so it should be fine but I dont know what the guests would be like, as you read and hear a lot of adverse reports about Russian toutists Hope this helps Alan

Hi,
I notice someone has asked this question before but noone really knew about the hotel at the time.
I am booked up to stay in the Peninsula Beach Resort in Calangute and I can find no details on it anywhere online, which I find quite worrying. Can anyone help????
Thank you.
