Lemon Tree Amarante Beach Resort, Goa

A older style hotel that has had a few licks of paint to keep it looking spruce. The beach is situated about 8 mins walk through walkways between private houses, only when it's daylight! The rooms are not cutting edge, but suffice, make sure you test the bed and have no interconnecting door, we changed room to get a more peaceful sleep, be warned, lots of kids around, especially the weekends. The staff are the best, especially pravesh, who's a dab hand with towel animals. The breakfast buffet is reasonable and well catered for vegetarians, not much in the way for big meat eaters, but nice, avoid between 10-11 when it's rather busy. The pool is lovely, shallow, but swimmable, and the mini gym is sufficient. The food is ok, stick to the local cuisine for best taste. I would return, but would avoid in the peak., the hotel is situated off a main road, with lots of restaurants and shops. The taxi guys just outside the hotel are a bit of a rip off, we walked up a bit to the next taxi rank on the left. If you've never been to India before, be prepared for an assault on all of your senses, it's both frustrating and fantastic, the hotel is a bit of a haven after a day out- enjoy!

It was indeed a pleasant stay for the family. The place is spacious- clean and the rooms are confortable. Ideally located and the food is Good !! I would like to visit again -

Had a good family stay at the hotel, first at a Lemon Tree. The hotel appears small from outside, but is bigger inside. It is not on the beach, but not that far too. You need to walk 2-3 minutes from the rear exit of the hotel, through a local area before you reach a nice sandy beach. It has a good pool, which was fun. Breakfast buffet was decent, though the al-a-carte menu seems to be overpriced. The Pavilion room was spacious enough, with a comfortable bed. Staff is OK, can be more pleasant.

The hotel has a character of it's own,staff is extremely friendly.the swimming pool and the breakfast buffet are definitely the highlights if the hotel.it also helps that there is an excellent departmental store just as one wals out of the hotel,especially families traveling with kids.housekeeping was up to the mark too!
