Azalea by Stone Wood Premier

For what its worth - I do NOT recommend this property to anyone . 1) their USP is a pool and a pool view. Great in pics - not so much in person. 2) Their food is can definitely be better. Inedible sambar . Felt like being in the US - same breakfast essentially everyday except for 2/3 items. Idli sambar, boiled eggs , chicken sausage or something similar , bread and assortments , a chai that takes forever to refill . underwhelming . 3) location : I think for the same price point you can find better hotels at better locations. 4) We specifically booked a 'pool view' room - we were suddenly told we were upgraded and given a road facing corner room , which we swiftly declined. Then came their masterstroke. Their 3rd floor rooms though pool view facing , aren't essentially pool view - its just too far out and not that good either at that price point. I'd say pass.

The stay and the food were OK. Nothing great. Stayed here for the price that seemed to be good. The hotel needs some minor and major upgrades.

The property is nice, pool looked nice although we weren’t able to try it. There was a few hiccups with keys not working which made checkin a bit slow, but staff were very friendly with replacing them and were very helpful. We can’t be certain exactly what caused it, but we got quite ill after staying here and drinking the bottles of water in the room. I suspect they may not have been filtered. All in all was a nice place for the price, but would recommend steering clear of the drinking water provided.

The hotel was exactly as expected- lovely pool - nice rooms great location with a very short walk to a fabulous beach with a couple of bars - small supermarket nearby Nice staff and management- did not eat evening meal in hotel but a number of great local restaurants a few minutes walk away- a few miles from cavalossim - expect to pay between 400 to 600 which is a little high but due to the taxi monopoly that’s going on at the moment
