Nice family hotel in Anjuna
We had a really nice experience at the Tamarind Hotel. The staff were very friendly and the room was, although small, was very comfortable with plenty of space in the adjoining bathroom. Our only criticism is that the 'family pool' wasn't really suitable for very small children as the shallow end was still too deep for a toddler or small child to stand or play in.

Nice and peaceful stay in Anjuna.
Staff is courteous and helpful. They upgraded me to a better room. Although the place is nice and clean, but since it's an outdoorish property, it need a thorough clean swipe to please neat freaks like me. I do feel the rooms are a little expensive as my breakfast was also not included in my package. But family friendly, solitude friendly, very picturesque and prompt service.

The pool is the best place to be.
The pool area is really cool with a pool bar and sitting area. moreover the pool is covered with trees above so it's always shady and cool. Rooms are very small. The restaurant is over priced.Do check with the hotel staff while checking in for breakfast inclusion/exclusion. Morning staff is extremely rude. Over all a Good experience. Do try the chocolate mousse.

Budget hotel not worth the price
Nothing great about this hotel...located in the middle of nowhere. Too expensive for the kind of room, amenities and breakfast provided. Very small property...one cannt find it peaceful too since the noise from other rooms and poolside comes into the room due to the smaller size. Food is not all that great and anjuna market is atleast 5 Kms away from the hotel making it extremely difficult to travel in case you want to go there to hire a bike / rent a cab for airport/stn or something.

Over all great experience
My Brother and I stayed at the Tamarind for 5 nights on an unplanned trip. The hotel grounds were well maintained and clean. The room we had was spacious and everything worked properly. the beds were large enough and the room was cleaned when you wanted with complimentary bottled water and fresh towels always available. All the staff with no exceptions were amazing. very easy going and very accommodating. They can arrange almost anything with absolutely no hassle.The restaurant in the hotel is great. fair priced menu great selection and great food , drinks and desserts. breakfast was simple but very enjoyable. Location wise it was a few min ride to the beaches, bars and markets which was perfect for us as we enjoyed the landscape and finding our way around. Although they have shuttles to take you where you want at no cost to certain locations, We would highly recommend renting motorbikes, scooters or bicycles to get around in order to get the full experience. The hotel surroundings were very clean, safe and quiet. just up the street you will find a gate with the words "Miraculous Cross- The way" we went for a jog to the top of the stair way twice a day every morning and evening it was a great work out and the view from up above was amazing definitely worth checking out. We cannot say enough great things about this place especially for the price. If your looking for a clean quiet yet close enough spot in GOA then the Tamarind is the spot for you.

I had a great stay at the hotel but was disappointed to see some lack of maintenance of the structure and surroundings. The f&b needs to be worked upon. I wouldn't give them anything more than 3 out of 5. The service of the house keeping was prompt and fast. The location was the best. Very close to Mapusa and all the major beaches of North Goa all within 6 kms. I borrowed the scooter from the hotel. Overall a good experience and will surely stay there again.

DO NOT VISIT THIS HOTEL
Stayed in this hotel for a one night. At the time of checkin I told at the reception that some my friends would join me later in the day and they said ok for this. Around 10 pm, my friend with his Fiancee (foreigner) came to visit me. They were not allowed inside by the reception. They said Indians and Whites together are not allowed into hotel. It was such an insult for them. They should have told me this at the time of checkin and I wouldn't have invited my friends' in the first place.

Quiet hotel - far from the madding crowd
Tamarind Hotel is a very pleasant hotel close to Anjuna Beach in North Goa. Rooms are good quality and there is a nice (though small) swimming pool in the centre. The most striking aspect is the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. They all seem like a family, and by becoming a guest in the hotel, it's like you've joined that family. The hotel is in a rural and somewhat isolated location. This is wonderful in the evenings if you want a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere far from the madding crowd. It's not within walking distance of any of the beaches so - unless you have your own transport - you will have to use taxis to get about. The good news is that taxis are cheap in Goa, and the hotel provide a very good service in booking taxis for the guests - including a service to the airport.

Very Private, very Cosy and very nice.
I booked 4 nights at the Tamarind reading a lot of reviews of the Hotel. Not 1 of them was bad! The place is lovely. It's essentially an old property which has been renovated by a new management & they have done a very good job. Stone structures, white washed walls & sloping roofs. It started raining the very day we reached so everything looked all the more green and better.When it rains you want to eat and drink. So here I have to mention the restaurant. The Chef Hemraj probably does not know what a great cook he is. Very non assuming guy who makes amazing food. The boys at the restaurant, Padam, Subhas&Tilak. Very simple and very warm. Subhas and Ashok at the reception, the housekeeping lady, Triza I think her name was. All nice people. I think the management ( Rahul/Gaurav) has to be given credit for it. We took some cycles &went to the beach and the next day were wise enough to take the bike ;-). The pool is great. I think its temperature controlled, though I'm not very sure. They also celebrated our wedding anniversary one evening & the cake they made for us, after eating that i could've died and gone to heaven. Couple of suggestions. 1- It's mostly a couple place. Of course u can take your family, uncle,aunts & your grandmother,nobody is stopping u but yeah its mostly a great place for your & your partner. if you get my drift. 2-It's a very secluded and private place, please don't create a ruckus.Keep it down. 3- Tip all the staff when you leave. They all deserve it.

Attention: The hotel location is wrong on Google Maps, the distance to the beach is about 5 km. For the correct hotel location, search for "St. Michael's Church, Anjuna, Goa, India" - the church is opposite to the hotel.

You get what you pay for
Mixed bag. Cons: 1) the location shown is incorrect (hotel is quite far from the beach, actually) and head office doesn't want to correct it, as other reviewers have indicated. 2) Several emails to request airport pick up were ignored, even after a phone call (head office is in Delhi, where they don't care). 3) Place is noisy, with music until past midnight. 4) They don't allow any visitors to the room, which may be a problem if a meeting is required and is just silly anyway. Pros: the staff was consistently and uniformly the sweetest people I've met. SUMMARY: If you don't mind the cons and want a budget hotel, the staff will make it pleasant. Otherwise, there are plenty of other options in Goa.

Dear Guest, Our location on the map has now been corrected after requests to them. We always send a confirmation after getting an airport pickup request. So there is a possibility that we did not receive your request. We are putting our director’s email id on our website for anything that needs urgent attention. This step has been taken to minimize complaints. Guests are not allowed in the rooms for security reasons. You can meet your guests in the lawns or in the restaurant and even in the bar lounge. We do not allow loud music at all so if you were inconvenienced, we apologies and will ensure this is never repeated. Regards

This is a lovely hotel - far better in terms of quality than any other property we researched in the area. It is clean, quiet and has very friendly, low-key staff. The only small issue is that it is approximately 3km from the beach.

Dear Guest, Thank you for your gracious and complementary review. We do offer free cycles and scooters & bikes at a nominal cost. Also a free drop off at the beaches close by. Hope to see you again. Regards
