Hotel Details

Hotel : Dona Alcina
Hotel Rating : 2*

These well-established properties were amongst the earliest hotels built in North Goa. Situated behind the Candolim Road adjacent to each other, they are surrounded by restaurants, bars, jewellers and every type of shop imaginable. The 15-minute walk down to the beach is always an interesting one, with plenty to tempt you along the way.

The Dona Alcina and Dom Francisco Hotels offer two swimming pools, (usually one hotel and pool open in early season), with pool-side bars and restaurants with indoor and outdoor seating. Regular entertainment nights are organised in both hotels to accompany authentic Goan, Chinese, Tandoor and Continental delights. Jewel in the Crown clients can be allocated a room in either property with the use of the facilities of both hotels.

The twin rooms can take an extra bed and are fairly basic. All have an en-suite shower and WC, ceiling fan, and most have a balcony or terrace. Air-conditioned rooms are on request, subject to availability on arrival and payable locally. Safety deposit boxes are available (payable locally). Rooms are offered on a Bed & Continental Breakfast basis. Christmas and New Year festivities are included plus a special discount offered to our guests for Valentine's Night celebrations — a big thing in Goa! This is a large property, ideal for people who just want a base to be close to Candolim Beach.

200 rooms in 2 hotels in 40 blocks on 3 floors.

Resort : Candolim Beach

Description: Candolim Beach is the longest part of this northern stretch and is quieter than Calangute but still is getting busier every year. At this point the beach is as deep as a football pitch, and the beach bars and shacks are set back on the sand dunes. The shacks here have become more sophisticated, each trying to outdo the other with a more interesting design.

One of the most innovative has to be Stringfellos which is designed like watchtowers with seating on several levels and is a great place to watch the world go by whilst enjoying the late afternoon breeze.

Amidst the sunbeds and beach shacks the fishing community have their huts on the beach and still fish as they have always done, most locals eating fish curry and rice on a daily basis. The only difference from their Grandfather’s day is the fact that they have an outboard motor on the back of their ancient craft!

Made By debbie moore on 21/11/2009 You have just got to get yourself to this Beach Bar. John & Julie are the friendliest people I have ever met her and Deepak must be the best waiter ever, even if he does not speak much. Food is brilliant. Ask John to get the giant prawns. Lovely.
