I and my 3 girl friends enjoyed the stay there and would go again. It is clean Light and airy place.
Breakfast is not so good the bread is awful but a minor hitch.
Location is slightly away from things but not that bad.
The Hotel staff are great and as long as you don't spoil them they stay on their toes . We made the mistake of over tipping and they became so lazy, but we learnt.
The entertainment is ok and its great the bar stays open for a drink and not close at 11pm for those in bed.

Thank goodness there are others out there who also have bad reviews about the prazeres. We spent two weeks there last year in apartment 1f5 and it was hell. We are not loud noisy people but maturer adults that wanted a quiet relaxing holiday that we had worked hard all year to pay for. The loud music from below this apartment was horrendous. It did not finish at 11 or 12 but went on until 3 or 4 in the morning. The new manager apparently has now been sacked because of all the complaints. Rubbish was allowed to accumulate below the steps to the private apartments and we were stung by wasps several times. Our rooms got cleaned once. We did them ourselves the rest of the time. We explained to the owners of the apartments before we went what we wanted and were told there was live music twice a week and that was it. That would of been acceptable but when you go four nights in a row with no sleep things get too much. When it wasn`t the music please listen out for the gated swing doors into the cloakroom under the apartment. It sounds like someone constantly banging on pipes. By the way the rooms are triple glazed not double. It wouldn`t matter if the rooms had six panes of glass in them we will never stay here again.

This was our 3rd visit to Prazeres and we got a flight only and booked the hotel seperatly.
As usual we had a fantastic time, the rooms are really clean and we found the food had improved a lot during this holiday, although it is more expensive than the resort restaurants (this seems to be typical of all Goa hotels).
Hotel is located on the Panjim Road, about 10 mins walk to the beach or Rs50 in a taxi. Location (off the main drag) means that you get the best of both worlds.
Staff were fantastic, this hotel tends to keep its staff year after year which is indicative of its management.
Tony (Restaurant Manager) looked after us superbly (as usual) and the bar staff...Salu and Savesh are two of the friendliest and efficient barmen you could meet. Cosmi, Mohan, Arun, Selwyn and the rest of the waiters could not do enough for you.
Even the reception staff(Geoffrey and his team) couldn't be faulted.
It has to be mentioned that we found that this hotel is one of very few in Goa where you can get a late drink, so it does get busy after 11pm...we enjoy a drink so this was a bonus to us.
Entertainment is regular and quite low key (mainly bands and the occasional Cultural Dance evening) and Raul (hotel owner) does his best to include all the guests in his welcome!!!
If you like a pretty lively hotel with friendly, welcoming staff (we have found that a large percentage of guests return year after year) then you will love it.

Having been to Goa for the past 7years and always stayed in Apora or Baga thought the Change would do us good.
This hotel was very clean and the house boys were excellent, clean sheets and towels nearly every day, the breakfast was good for goan standards.
On the downside this hotel is described as quiet and relaxing, which it was not, loud amplified music and drunk holidaymakers most days until 2-3am !!!
I would not return to the Parezeres mainly due to the noise and "butlins" style feel to the place and the fact that its a bit of a concrete jungle, not much green areas just blocks of apartments

I visited Prazeres resort, Candolim for the 4th time last march and like past years thought the complex was fantastic.
We actually stayed in a privately owned apartment (apartment IF5) just above the restaurant, which was great! there were 2 spacious double bedrooms, fully equipped with A/C and ceiling fan, the Apartment also consisted of a lounge, small kitchenette and a bathroom all with very nice European decor and furnishings, and there was a large shared balcony (with the apartment next door which can be adjoined)with hanging chairs - a great place to relax with a Fenny and limca!
Inclusive in the price was a laundry service and apartment cleaning (twice a week)and we had the opportunity to use all the hotels amenities (pool, restaurant, bar etc)
As many other visitors to this resort have commented, the loud entertainment can be somewhat annoying, however since my first visit to these apartments in 2003, the owners have put up double glazing to help reduce the noise! (this is also a godsend if you cant sleep in the heat as it helps keep the cold air in and the hot air out!)
I am returning again in April, and Id recommend this resort to anybody, and you can find details of the apartments at www.lazaway-goa.co.uk and numerous other sites such as villa-vacations.com.

Hi booked independently and stayed for 6 nights in February 2005.
The room was basic, clean and tidy but on the small size.
Breakfast was poor, you had to make your own toast and coffee.
Had an occasional drink but did not eat in hotel.
The location is on the outskirts of Candolim on the Panjim road and between 15 and 20 minutes walk to beach, 30 minutes to end of beach road.
The general air of the place was it has seen better days and could do with a revamp. I think we paid 1400 rupees a night.
We have stayed at highland beach (Similar package prices but much better) and Casa Sea Shell (food much better room about the same but 900 rupees a night).

This is a great place to stay close to every thing and the room lads are very good.
The entertainment is the same year after year so it is off for me.
The food needs a great deal of improvement, breakfast is not so good.
Overall the hotel is very good value and I like the place whatever the minor faults.
If the Heads would listen to the 'real Guests' and change they will be in the tops. But it is Goa and short term thinking is the Norm.
I have been a few times and will go back. Devoid of women there! Wonder why, lot of moaners from the UK but some fun I have had. Best wishes Barry Boy. XX for Debbie.

We stayed at the Prazeres for 2 weeks at the beginning of November 2004. We travelled with First Choice - the airline crew were friendly and as helpful as possible. The food was good for airplane food but drinks were a little expensive.
The hotel was very clean and tidy but some of the rooms could do with a lick of paint.
The food was excellent but drinks were relatively expensive especially Smirnoff.
The staff were very friendly and would do anything they could within their power to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.
This hotel is not on the "man drag" but on the road to Panjim. It is a 5 - 10 minute walk to the beach depending on how hot it was. The advantage of this is that you get absolutely no traffic noise when in the hotel complex.
The entertainment was fairly good and got better as the Honey Bee brandy went down. I would definitely return to this hotel and I am, in fact doing so in March of next year.
There is a very good restaurant/ bar opposite called Johnny's Corner.

Travelled in November 2004, it was our 4th visit to Goa, we had previously stayed in the Donna Alcina in Candolim and were very disapointed.
We were allocated a room at the rear of the hotel which was nice but I asked to be moved to a room with a pool veiw which the management did for us wiyhout any problems.
We had the best holiday we have had in Goa so far and am returning this november to the same hotel, the staff were fantastic and the rooms kept very clean.
Good spot with hardly any traffic noise.
The rooms overlooking the pool could be noisy late at night, we didn't mind this but for some people it my be best to stay at the rear of the pool area for a quieter spot. Looking forward to november.
