Kotawde Holidays from £725

I enjoyed my stay at the Lemon Tree hotel Amarante Beach Resort. I enojyed the short walk to the becah, the daily brunch and dinner service, the comfortable room, large pool and nearby shops in proximity to the hotel. I recommend Lemon Tree and would plan to stay at the chain of hotels on my next stay in India.

The staff at the hotel were without exception a delight. Nothing was too much trouble and they were always smiling. Our room was spacious and well fitted out and the pool and hotel itself were superbly designed with fascinating art and furnishings. The food was good but not outstanding. The piped music from the poolside was sometimes intrusive or on for too much of the day. Sometimes we had difficulty getting hot water from the overhead shower.

The property is small and it doesn’t have any indoor playing facilities. Spa was not upto the mark. They claim water sports their private beach which is not true. Cab service is a problem as there is an association and you have to book cab through them only which is costly (approx 55₹/kms).

Property was well laid out and actively. A short walk from the room were the dinner venues, swimming pool, and a little further down some sets of stairs, the beach. It was very peaceful and the staff are very helpful. Guest services were happy to ensure our stay was brilliant including little personalised gift for the kids. Anish Naik was fantastic in their restaurant. He was very attentive and helped ensure that everyone had something they would enjoy for dinner. Including those on a strict diet. Helpful and very patient meant that we came back a few times for dinner here. They had a great selection of veg and non veg. Overall a brilliant stay and would recommend without a doubt for couples, young families or extended family trips.

I is a great place family holiday, staff is very friendly , food is good
