Location
We had a deluxe room with a kingsize bed and a z-bed for my son. The room also had tea making and a plasma tv and offered room service. I found the room to be probaly one of the best you would get in Goa.
The staff were very nice, always smiled and said hello. The pool was clean and we had our room cleaned everyday. The entertainment was ok.
The only issue I had here was the hot water, we hardly ever had any. After reporting it several times they did bring me buckets of hot water to the room but it was never actually fixed even after several attempts my the maintenance men.
My overall stay was great and I would go back to this hotel.

We had previously stayed at the Phoenix park on two occasions the last being 4 years ago.
We decided to visit again because of the excellent accomodation and service we had previously experienced.
However, this time on arrival the staff claimed that they had no record of our booking for a premium room despite me producing a reciept clearly indicating this. We were then told that we were to be given a premier room and the room boys took us to our room which was a bog standard room in worse repair than the standard rooms we had stayed in on previous visits. So, back to reception to sort out the mess. After the receptionist trying to extort

My wife was taken ill for a few days and the manager was most helpful, sending out for medicine for her and refusing to let me pay, and coming to the room to see she was okay. Great service.
Would we stay here again? Definitely yes.

last years room was a bit of a dissapointment but this years was up to scratch.
breakfast ws the usual choice of eggs etc along with all the parts of a full English (but not all on the same day). Porridge, fruit, and a couple of Indian dishes.Toast was prepared for you and eggs freshly cooked to order.
as usual there were never enough glasses, cups, spoons.
never tried evening food and pool bar staff were especially dense when taking orders (how hard is a gin and tonic?)
There is a new reception area and the old reception has been converted to superior rooms which look nice but are at extra cost.
Room boys were happy and efficient especially in Dahl block.
To be honest some visitors were less than satisfied re cleanliness but I have to wonder if they were goan regulars or first timers who expected better.
I intend to go back next year if I can change the booking I have already made for the Silver sands

The toilet was dirty when we arrived,most days there was no hot water,you had to keep asking for more soap and shampoo the shower hand rail came off in my hand when I grasped it and the toilet kept blocking.
There were no drawers in the room to put your clothes away in.
We were offered another room after complaining but this was on the fifth floor and as there was no lift we decided against it.
The breakfast was very basic but the hygiene standards left a lot to be desired.
The early morning call requested on our departure day was eighteen minutes late.
In over thirty years of traveling the world I can honestly say that this was one of the worst hotels we have ever stayed in.

The room was very clean and cleaner and in better repair than last years room of 2104
The front desk help was excellent, nothing was too much trouble including ringing the airport and tour operator when I discovered I left my purse on the plane, to supplying a hack saw to get my suitcase locks off as the key was in my purse.
Towels changed very other day as was the bed. Ideally I would like fresh towels every day. Cleaning of room good and didn't knock you up too early.
Bar area is one of this hotels strengths as you have to walk though it on your way in and out which means it is supported by other guests, for a drink on their way our or a nightcap, and usually there is someone to chat too.
Breakfast was chaotic and often there were insufficient cups, plates etc. Always restocked when asked however if only the Indians could be more pro active and not just reative this hotel would be better and breakfast would be more enjoyable. Always plenty of staff around however no one seemed to have responsibilty for a particular area. Breakfast consisted of freshly cooked eggs, toast, cereal, fresh fruit and sometimes bacon, beans etc. By Goa standard again more than some hotels offer but still frustrating when you want a coffee and you have to wait for cups. Can't comment on the other food as only had breakfast in the hotel
Another annoyance was on returning to the room the towels had been taken and not replenished. A simple phone call to reception and towels were brought but again frustrating.
The location of this hotel is superb, one road back from the busy Candolim road, however quiet and easy to get to bars, shops, beach etc.
There was some sort of entertainment on most nights however I do not go to Goa to spend my evenings at the hotel.
I would revisit the hotel for the price I paid this year
