The staff where excellent, always there always helpful and always with a smile. The standard room was of good size with plenty of draw and hanger space. The only draw back was the swimming pool small and inside out of the sun.
Otherwise everything else was very good and we had a very enjoyable holiday

Rooms are dirty, wood floor are broken and dirty. You absolutely can not walk bare foot in the room. Bathroom smells all the time even after shower as if there is smell coming out from sewer line. The only thing that was good about the stay was food. I would not recommend anybody else to stay in this hotel. It is not a 4 star hotel at all.

On arrival, it was welcoming and professional.. Unable to check in early, but texted us an hour before check in to say room was ready. The room had an over powering and foul smell and we were moved rooms. The changed room was an improvement, although the bed sheets really needed to be placed in the bin, as did the towels and bath mat. This was the experience day on day of our 5 night stay. The person providing housekeeping was friendly, but the hotel needs to replace their bedding and towels, they are long past their life cycle and shouldn't be acceptable to any guest.

The breakfast was 2-3 star quality at best. Poor selection poor produce, poorly prepared and served. There is a distinct lack of management or supervision and most staff seem unhappy, most likely due to their conditions and how they are treated. It is fine for 1 night stay, but will ruin a vacation if it is your base for a longer stay.

Comfortable stay

We enjoyed our trip very much. Pool was little small but deep enough. It was covered and we enjoyed swimming during rainy days.
Break fast was good lot of options very attentive staff. Very delicious North Indian food in dinner. The thing I didn’t like was the lighting in rooms were very old may be 15 years old led lights In washrooms wasn’t appropriate. Linens were old need a change
Hotel on candolim calangute road. Very convenient location. Will definitely come back

Nice clean hotel staff was amazing
Food at the restaurant was amazing..
Really helped my nephew with his allergies

The only problem I found was rooms were being cleaned at 3-6pm a bit late for me ..

I also needed a gown which I could have ordered but released on the last day

But it was an amazing stay .. i can’t moan

Excellant stay at the Acacia hotel. The staff was very helpful and courteous .
Most of the things are near by to hotel like candolim beach, market for shopping, car/bike rentals etc.
Hotel is conveniently located in candolim.
Hotel's restaurant food is tasty but little bit higher on the price side.
Breakfast buffet served had a lot of varieties to chose from and at the same time tasty and joyful.
The dining area is at the 4th floor with a nice view of the city..
Over all we had a joyful stay as a family traveler and would definitely revist and recommend it.

Below average hotel and not value for money

Hotel overall was below average. When we reached the room assigned to us was not clean. Missing water, towels and bed was unmade. We had to ask the hotel staff to get our room ready while we forcefully had to go out for dinner while waiting for the room to be ready.
Apart from the above the breakfast was again below average and had to wait for long for food to come out for refilling.

We had been to the hotel during April 2019 for 4 days
The hotel is not that expensive hence decided to give a try,

The check in process went smoothly but the hotel staff for room services don’t reach you within reasonable time let it be for anything

The in room dining they offer 20% off but charge 5% service charge for just providing food in room even the prices of food are quite high so the 20% discount is just a marketing gimmick

The food is not at all good and quality ones and even their menu choices are very limited, even breakfast in morning the Indian food used to be really bad so we used to have only fruits and juices

The hotel does not have its vehicle for any kind of airport or within the city transfers, they suggest to go out and hire a cab or rent a car on your own

The spa services were really good so I would give it a point for this

The worst part about our stay was that electricity used to go after every 5 mins for some seconds and one day they didnt had electricity for nearly one hr which is disgusting

Even cleanliness wise the hotel was really bad, plates used to lie outside many of rooms for entire day and swimming pools were really very dirty

I would rather suggest to stay at a good hotel in its vicinity by spending a few bucks extra if you want to have a peaceful and happy stay

Comfortable Hotel well situated for the beach

The Acacia Hotel & Spa is a well appointed and managed hotel which is very conveniently situated access to the beach as well as close to the town's night-life and restaurants being on the main Aguada Road. We found the staff very courteous and helpful. The rooms are a good size and well furnished with a range of conveniences in the room including a fridge, safe , cable TV etc. The breakfast menu is generous and caters to both Indian and European tastes.

2N/3D Babylon trip

The overall experience with the hotel is good. I do not want to rate them negative. However this trip was important for me as I planned a Babymoon (pre-baby R+R) for my wife (expecting) and I did inform well in advance while making the reservation.

All I wanted is to make it a comfortable trip and stay.

Challenges faced
- While asking for directions, I was misguided (took me 30 mins extra to drive on bad roads)
- Air Con in the room stopped functioning at mid night and discomfort. I did not inform the staff that time as we figured a workaround to off and switch it on again. I am sure they would have done something to fix it if informed but at midnight I did not want my wife to stretch and stay awake in discomfort
- Hotel Wi-Fi (complimentary) never worked for us in 3 days stay

Great vacation in Goa, India

Very good rooms with plenty of space. The hotel is new and so are the facilitates available. The rooms were very clean.

The service qualities were better than usual. The service was quite pleasant and prompt. The hotel amenities were alright.

The location was okay but was the best thing that the management could do.
Yet, they have done a good job.

The hotel deducted extra amount and not returning

The hotel deducted extra amount by doing twice swipe of my credit card. I am still following up with them to get my money back however they are not at all interested in looking into the matter. It was their mistake but nobody is taking accountability from their side. I will never refer this hotel to anybody.
Also though they claim the hotel as 4 stars but it is not even worth of 2 stars. The ambiance, service and rooms are so pathetic. Food quality is also not good. Their SPA is not more than a simple body massage. They dont even know what is SPA.
my overall experience was worst with this hotel and they spoiled our holiday.

Very clean and modern hotel - 500 m of the beach

We found the hotel room and general decor to be pleasant, modern and clean. The staff were all very helpful and when we needed things fixed in our room - ie the cable TV plug wasn't working, it was fixed immediately. Breathtaking views from the top deck. A short walk to Condolim beach which was less crowded and less polluted compared to Calangute and Baga. There are also plenty of restaurants and bars within easy walking distance from the hotel.

Great Location, pathetic service

though the location is good and the hotel is very clean and optically good, teh service is very pathetic. the hotel is definately understaffed. toom serivce does not turn up even after 3 calls. People at teh receptin are not at all helpfull and they do not listen to any of your requests. we were told we will be provided with an extra bed, but was not provided, and was only provided when they were threatened by us that we would complain to the manager or sooo... Net ne a very bad experience. Breakfast is very bad, they do not have much choice.

Friendly staff, good location and sleek rooms

The hotel is in a good location. Once you come to terms with the fact that many parts of Goa and India have large piles of rubble, wastelands, and even stray cows, this hotel offers a lot in terms of access to to good restaurants, taxis and local super market stores.
The hotel employees were very pleasant, opening doors for us, wishing us a good day and catering to us extensively, even a little too extensively at breakfast! I found all of Acacia's people to be great advocates of their brand.
The breakfast was good and comprehensive. There is a selection of continental, English and Indian breakfasts. I really enjoyed the Goan cuisine choices and small muffins! However it would have been be nice to have some more day to day variety at breakfast time.
Some small downsides: our internet was only valid for 24 hours and a little patchy at that, despite our belief that it was a 24/7 complimentary feature throughout our stay. We felt that the shower leaked slightly as there was often a small puddle in front of our door. Although the balcony was much appreciated, our view was a little lacking. The hotel also hosts music and food events which are a mixed bag as we hear some beautiful and authentic Bollywood music, but it can be a little distracting if you would like a quiet relaxing nights sleep.
Overall I would really recommend Acacia for this area of Goa in terms of quality service, excellent traveller friendly restaurants nearby and as a good starting base for exploring!

Disappointing hotel in such a amount we paid for

Disappointing hotel in such a amount we paid for . Cheating with the mini bar inside the room as all such categeories hotel offers mini bar kind of things for free. Power cut in frequent timings and hotel does have a plenty amount of natural space in goa kind of place. Instead of this go for TAJ in almost same price.
