Lemon Tree Amarante Beach Resort, Goa

Spacious room, a nice pool, Candolim beach is at a 5 minutes walk, good location in Candolim with a lot of food joints at a walking distance.

The bathroom had some leakage and there was water seeping in onto the dry section from the shower cubicle. We spotted 2 tiny cockroaches too which freaked us! The balconies have no view to speak of. Like most beach resorts in Goa, this one isn't on the beach either. It has an access road to the beach which is 5 minutes away on foot. Before we arrived, they tried to offer us a free upgrade at their other property (LT Candolim) in Candolim which we declined since it is further away from Candolim beach (which we wanted easy access to) than this property (LT Amarante). After we arrived, they tried to offer us a paid upgrade to their Heritage section which though nicer than the resort section was not something we wanted to pay for as the current deal itself didn't seem worth it once we checked-in. We could have opted for better properties in that price range. Would give this property a miss the next time we are in North Goa.

Only food

Aproch towards client

Restaurant staff were brilliant, tried to assist guests at every opportunity. Quality of food exceptional.

getting a coffee or a cup of tea is difficult. One coffee machine which appeared to break every day. What is wrong with a pot of coffee or a pot of tea, releasing staff to help guests. Business room is an oxymoron as it does not work. - Fully equipped gym is advertised is not true, it's extremely poor , one machine which is not fit for purpose. Free weights but no benches. Unable to change larger notes to smaller denomination for tips, each time we tried informed no change available but receptionist showed wads of higher denomination IE 2000rupees and 500s
