Review Title : Good little hotel Your Rating 4 Stars. Made By Val on 07/04/2007
Have just come back from the Santiago hotel. This is the second time we have stayed here. I think the Santiago is very good value for money. It's down a quiet road off the main Baga road and it's an All Inclusive hotel, so all the drinks and food are included in the basic price. It is in a peaceful location, but an easy 10 minute walk to Baga beach.
The rooms are fairly small and basic but we have always found them to be clean and the friendly staff look after everything in a professional way.
The food in the restaurant is excellent. You get a good selection of Indian, Chinese and Thai dishes and neither me or my husband had any problems with a dodgy stomach. My only criticism is that the swimming pool is a bit small and there are not enough sunbeds around the pool. Also there are too many shady areas around the pool as well. Most days, however, we walked down to the beach where there are plenty of sunbeds and they are free providing that you buy drinks from one of the beach shacks. Drinks all day and lunch for 2 people on Baga Beach cost us less than £10 so you can't go wrong at those sort of prices. We got a bit of hassle from locals trying to sell us things but a polite "No" usually does the trick, but overall Goa is a great place and fantastic value for money. I would recommend the Santiago hotel at Baga if you are looking for a good basic hotel at a good price.

Review Title : perfect holiday Your Rating 5 Stars. Made By Heather on 06/02/2011
Just back from Goa and stayed at the Santiago. I liked the fact that it was a little bit off the main road as the traffic could be pretty noisy at night! The hotel was great, basic accomodation but clean and comfortable with fridge, kettle and a TV. The food was excellant with a lot of variety and all the staff were brilliant - always helpful and very friendly. The beaches are perfect and if you want to avoid all the hawkers tryiing to sell stuff on the busiest beaches get a taxi to one of the quieter ones. You will only pay about a tenner there and back and the driver will wait for you the whole time. WE enjoyed our holiday so much that we are planning on going back next year!

Resort : Baga Beach
Description : Baga Beach is the most northerly of this more ‘commercial’ part of beach life in Goa. Early afternoon is one of the busiest beaches we’ve seen. The sunbeds are lined up like soldiers in front of the endless string of beach shacks and amidst the hustle and bustle and throng of tourists you’ll see a cow or two lying peacefully in the sun or slowly ambling along the beach.
The Goans have a way of sharing life with the fauna around them and it’s great to see this love being shared by visitors. Despite the wonderful hustle and bustle, the fishermen still fish as they have always done. In Baga the beach shacks are relatively sophisticated with electricity and tablecloths. It’s wonderful to sit in a shack late in the afternoon swapping tales of the days exploits with fellow holidaymakers. It’s also easy to get distracted by the little tailor shops amongst the shacks.
This is also the place for nightlife including ‘Kamaki’, ‘Tito’s’ and ‘Mambo’s’ bars.

Review Title : My Goan Family Your Rating 5 Stars. Made By yvonne Chapman on 23/02/2008
I found this hotel to have the friendliest staff possible, treated us like family - the hoel is basic, but all staff tried their best to give one a very happy holiday, which they achieved.
From the management down to the cleaning staff, gardeners, electrician Security, chefs, waiters, little tailor shop - jewellers - everyone unbelievably welcoming - we can't wait to return.
I love to watch birds, and the birds in the coconut trees just beautiful. Yvonne Chapman

Review Title : Squeeze beach shack Your Rating 5 Stars. Made By dave french on 12/05/2008
Went to the Squeeze beach shack every day.
Great food, great position, really friendly all was spoilt by one waiter named Wally.
He was rude, offensiveand very unhelpful. At one point he ever tried to assault my wife and accused our fried of using drugs!
A real piece of work! He spoils it for everyone.
The other waiters are great but avoid Wally like the plague!!!

Review Title : Best Beach Shack Your Rating 5 Stars. Made By Caroline on 01/12/2008
The Shining Star Beach Shack is the best... for food, service and friendliness from all the staff.
If you want excellent food try anything, never had a bad meal. Ask for Reddy, he'll make sure that your day is a good one... If you need a taxi, Sam's brother does a great service..

Review Title : SQUEEZE SHACK Your Rating 5 Stars. Made By Carl on 26/12/2008
Peope have been slagging poor old Wally off yet he is really cool.
Im still in Goa & Wally hs organised all my trips 4 me & cheap taxi owned by squeeze shack.
He is very helpful. Some of the other lads cn get annoying when they become familiar with you asking for drinks & wanting to giving you massages etc all day.
Wally lent me an indian phone & sim card for my hols at no cost just top up phone like home.
I am not looking 4ward 2 going home as i have has a gr8 3 weeks so far everyday at squueze shack.
Riverside regency is a good hotel to stay in too which is at the end of the dirt path opp squeeze.
Dont be put off from a couple of neg reviews of wally etc.
Well if you coming out here enjoy!!!!!
