Ruffles Beach Resort

The hotel has really bad service , condition of rooms were pathetic with broken toilets (in 2 rooms we stayed ). The morning breakfast is not good at all . This doesn't give any value to the money spent on the stay .

I went with 2 friends in July end. The rooms are small and have plain beds, a small wardrobe and largish bathrooms. Dont expect any major technology - the tiny tv has grainy pictures and the rooms have old-fashioned locks! There is also a pool. The crowd was mostly bargain-hunters. What I didnt appreciate was the lack of bfast choices. Each guest could only choose 1 food option (puri bhaji, aloo paratha, omelette), that too, in limited quantity! While the boys at the reception were friendly enough, there was no one at the front gate or desk (we had to wake someone up) when we reached the hotel past midnight! The beach is about a 5 min walk away but Candolim beach is so uninteresting there's hardly any point. Try Calangute or Baga if you want a place thats more exciting.

ruffles is situated well back off the candolim road so noise is no problem. It is behind a bar and rest which has entertainment which because it is in a built up are stops at 11.00pm. Clean and tidy rooms with a mattress which had a large foam piece on top same size a mattress which was very comfortable. we had 3 bedded room with fridge, we asked for a kettle which was provided free of charge.. Rooms are basic but they have clean sheets hand and large towels in bathroom. Staff clean daily. There is a small pool with the usual sun chairs which is very clean. In front of this is the eating area with the reception next door. We had a snack and found the food lovely. Lot of long stayers use this hotel.

overall comfort of all hotel premises is acceptable. Room decoration is very minimalist and furniture totally out dated. Bathroom was in a pretty bad condition and facilities dating back to the 60th. Staff belonging to the friendly category especially at the bar. Restaurant can be avoided; food is really not good and service slow and unpleasant. ( many restaurants are available near by the hotel.

the owner and his staff are really friendly and helpful whatever you want. the rooms will be cleaned every day and every two days you get new towels and bedsheets. the pool is clean and the poolbar that is also breakfastroom and restaurant is nearly romantic. hot water in the shower works very well. we had a relaxed stay and absolutely nothing to complain. we was so happy about these wonderful holidays, that we booked immidiatly for next year. for everybody who want to stay in candolim i must reccomend ruffles beach resort
