The Valentine's Retreat is in a great location with the golden sands of Candolim Beach less than 10 minutes' walk and the nearest shops on the main Candolim Road just a couple of minutes away. The rooms are in two blocks, one at each end of the swimming pool, which is surround by a small sun terrace and a beautifully maintained garden area with magnificent giant flowering creepers and a profusion of lilac flowers.
There are several palm trees standing like sentries in front of one of the buildings with palm trees swaying in the gentle breeze; a peaceful setting and perfect for late afternoon drinks on the balcony. The restaurant Valentino's has a rustic style and ambiance offering al-fresco dining with a multi-cuisine menu. Limited room service and laundry service are also available.

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!

Review Title : great location Your Rating 5 Stars. Made By Marie Crane on 23/08/2008
Love Goa! previously had said there are too many places in the world to go to the same place twice, however was hooked after our first trip and booked for the following year as soon as we arrived home -every year and counting the weeks until we go back agian Dec 13th 08. Stayed in Baga other years but after spending some time in Candolim have booked to go there this year. Great shops, restaurants, pubs and Dreamers beach shack is exactly what its name says it is!

Review Title : Mamma Ceceilia's Beach Bar Your Rating 5 Stars. 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.
