Definitely not 4 star
The hotel is more like a 2/3 star and not a 4 star as shown. I was expecting a lot more because of the high cost of staying here. It's close to the beach but not the best value

Its a 1star hotel
Worst stay ever.. the hotel doesn't look like a 4star property at all..leakage in the bathroom sink at 2am, plumber came and rectified it and the same issue existed the next day too..some staff said they charge 40 Rs for dental kitchens some said its free , cant recall if any other 4star property charges money for dental kit .. No bathroom slippers as that is also chargeable..wifi is so bad plus mobile data connection is so bad that you cant even make a single call...they have smart tv with netflix and amazon prime but dont know how to connect Internet to the smart tv to at least do screen mirroring..overall the worst experience living in the so called 4star hotel..not recommended at all. No co-ordination between the staff at all..paid 35000 for 3nights wastage of money...

The hotel was clean and the rooms cleaned daily with fresh towels. The pool area was always busy but always managed to get 2 beds whatever time of the day. Off the main road so didn't get all the traffic noise. Most people at the resort were All Inclusive and as we were paying it was a pain to have to wait 10 / 15 minutes at times for the bill.

Great Vacation
A nice and happening place. Lucky to discover it on Google. So thnx Google. First the place. Its a wonderful resort with spacious rooms and a swimming pool, a Gymnasium. Free WiFi, water and tea in rooms. Staff is friendly and approachable for all requirements. There is a Spa in the hotel which is chargeable. Evngs you have DJ in the hotel. They have happy hours from 6 pm to 9 pm. Second the location. It is located at Candolim beach and just 50 mtrs away from the beach so its actually a Beach resort unlike others in North Goa. They give you acessories required for the beach. You do not gave to move out of the Hotel to go to Beach, there is a rear door which can be used. The market is not to far from the hotel. Third most important. Its a value for money. Though at first sight on Google you look for cheapest hotels bur mind it cheapest in Goa is actually cheapest. Do not creeb later better to book a place like this. I was given room 112 which is the last on the first floor however had a view towards the swimming pool and Sea. Please book your own taxi in Goa through Gia Miles App. Its very much similar to Ola. Ola n Ubei both are not available in Goa. Overall a satisfying five days at Whispering Palm beach resort.

room 114 was small, the balcony looked onto a walkway, access to the toilet was poor as the bathroom door obstructed entry, twice there was no hot water after 7pm, the food was good and the staff were superb, in its hey day it must have been good, but the halcyon days have gone, looking tired now

OK for a short stay
The biggest issue I had was that the drier the hotel had arranged for me didn't show up at the airport when I got in at 3am. After a lot of unanswered phone calls I took a taxi. The taxi ride was about half the price of the hotel's driver. The room was nice but the door to the patio didn't close very well. There was a water leak in the bathroom that kept part of the floor wet and slippery. The breakfast buffet was great but doesn't start until 7:30 which is a bit late for me. Proximity to the beach is excellent and there is a great place on the way to the beach to get a shave. Nothing much to do in the area other than the beach.

Terrible Hotel
When I checked in the staff had my reservation wrong. Had to clear it up. The power goes off 4 times a day and takes a while to come back on. My TV kept saying that the hotel had not paid the cable bill. The manager was quite rude when I asked to stay and additional night , he wanted 150% of the rate when the season was in a total slowdown, (late March) and all of the others in town were dropping rates. The manager gave me the wrong info sheet when i checked in that said I got free drinks .I only got two all week long. They would not admit the mistake, still charged me for the two drinks. And The was hard as a rock. Stay anywhere else. not here.

Average property. Location is nice as it is near the beach and restaurants. Room service esp Chef Ritesh was very nice. Service is prompt. Have not reviewed it highly as there was a tour group in the property and it was messy. Swimming pool was packed and people were smoking around the pool area.

Excellent service and superb location.
As other reviews have already said, the service is absolutely fantastic and the location superb - 10 minutes walk to a very nice and clean beach, and lots of amenities right outside the hotel. We have a 3 yr old and a 10 months old baby. The hotel staff were always helpful and catered very well for many special requests. The buffet is well stocked with good option for everyone. We can keep going on about how good our experience was at this place! Only thing to know if you have very little kids is that there are different levels with steps here and there. It looks great but not the easiest with a pram. Try to get a room on ground level.

Disappointing for the money and a bit cheesy
Disappointing for the money. I left for the Acacia just up the road and it was infinitely nicer and cheaper. Whispering Palms is ok and clean but kind of a cheesy resort. There was a bad cabaret and a lot of loud and obnoxious guests. I was woken up in the morning by the hotel staff shouting around the hallways. The bed was hard. The room was poorly executed. It was hard to get into the bathroom and silly things like no soap dish in the shower. I was annoyed with myself for paying upfront for two nights and wished I'd booked the Acacia instead.

Great value for money
I booked a quick weekend getaway after spending a week on business in Mumbai. Whispering Palms was a good value break, with attentive service and good amenities. This side of Candolim was lightly quieter, which meant the beach was less busy - great for relaxing. There's plenty to do in the local area, with lots of bars and restaurants on Fort Aguada road. The busier resorts of Baga and Anjuna are only a short (and cheap) taxi ride away.

Nice boutique place by the beach
First thing that comes to mind is its very courteous, friendly & informal staff; room service is fast; Food is great - the tables by the pool with a live music band make up for a great dinner ambience. The location of the resort couldn't have been better; the beach is not even a minute away - you can see and hear it from the resort 24/7; Don't deny yourself a chance to walk along the shore line - start from the Fort Aguada corner across Candolim right up to Calangute beach (around 4 kms); a resourceful taxi/cab service is available right at the gate; ATMs, stores - curio items, trinkets, beach wear, medicines, groceries are all within a stone's throw of the resort.
