It was a good place but the place wasnt in actual Panji. The hotel is split by 2 brother's and the pool belongs to the other half. The actual hotel room was large.

We were so well cared for and got to know the staff. Clean comfortable rooms, tasty and affordable restaurant. A fantastic bargain. The only take away is it is not a walk to Panjim and cabs can be pricey—but you’re next to the nicest cleanest beach in town.

Fabulous authentic Goan food. Walking distance to a small, quiet beach.

Lovely hotel, close to the beach. Very friendly staff and high level of service. Area is a bit boring because there are only two hotels more nearby but very nice beach where there are no high waves like on other Goa beaches. All in all, very positive experience.

We were in Goa for just 4 nights, and wanted a nice hotel with some facilities and amenities (pool, spa, restaurant, etc...). Sandalwood Retreat was perfect for us, while it isn't a 5-star hotel, it was a nice, affordable alternative close to our Where we wanted to be. Would strongly recommend it, keeping in mind it is nice, simple place with attentive staff.

Enjoyed our stay. Nothing much in the immediate area. Beach almost deserted. Sunbeds and umbrellas there. Free shuttle into town every day. Nice pool. Breakfast good. Restaurant good, Phillip the head waiter very helpful and good English. Good place to chill out and relax. Nothing hectic here.

I had to go to Goa for a family member who was in a hospital near the hotel. The staff, especially the bellhops and those in the SeaPearl, were exceptional. The food was also outstanding although I don't recommend the malai kofta. Anyway, thank you Phillip and all the friendly young men who work in the restaurant.

Overall very happy with the stay. Nice comfortable rooms, with great amenities. Only thing lacking is a good children's play area. Beach is close by.

We went for a rotary conference with our friends. I had booked 2 rooms but there was some problem and the booking showed only 1 room. The staff was however very good and upgraded us to a suite which was very good.The breakfast menu was also very good.

It was an awesome experience staying at hotel. All view and beach is so clean. I feel its better the those expensive resorts. I stayed in Dona-sliva earlier but services was pathatic. Here Staff was so helpfull and supportive. Even ording Food is very econoninal with good quantity. Panjim market is just 10 KM away on same road. Private beach with reserved beds for Sandlawood hotel guests. Its nice feeling to stay there. Every night there is music in lawn and you can sit and relax in your private balcony. Cheers Guys

This is more like home than a hotel. My room had a living room and two balconies apart from the bedroom and this space was very much appreciated and enjoyed by our two kids. Staff is very helpful.

Our requests for the room were met, we upgraded to a deluxe room, which is very spacious and well worth the extra money. The rooms are cleaned to a very high standards everyday. The beds are so comfortable and are made up with ultimate precision. The nice crisp sheets look like they have been ironed fresh each day. The swimming pool is very well maintained and surrounded by extremely comfortable sun loungers. We have eaten in the hotel restaurant every night so far, and for a two course meal with drinks we have paid about £12. It's very good value and absolutely lovely food. Saving the best comment for last. Since we arrived, we have found all the staff to be extremely friendly and very, very helpful. Milson on the bar, Priya on the reception, with the most amazing smile are part of a wonderful team of staff. Looking forward to spending the rest of our holiday in this tranquil resort. Looking forward to meeting Mr Shekhar Davadkar to congratulate him on running a lovely resort. Room 2102

We were 3 couples with kids and stayed at the hotel for 3 nights in suite rooms. Hotel staff is excellent and very co-operative. The location of this hotel is in the center of the city, so you are never too far from any where. It shared the same beach as cida-de-goa, and just 100 steps to the beach. Another location advantage is the close proximity to chances casino. We stayed at casino till 2 am and were at a very safe distance from hotel. Breakfast buffet was lavish and abundant, I would surely recommend this hotel to all.

ホテル内設備は若干古い部分もあるが、スタッフのホスピタリティでカバーしています。ビーチにも徒歩3分。レストランでの朝食昼食はローカル色もあり、充実。空港からは早くて30分。混んでいる昼間でも1時間を見ればOK。エアコンは冷房が効き切らないので、外気で調整を。wifiは今回の滞在中ずっと使えませんでした。

Lengthy check in process. Too many rules and regulations all laid out on a sheet of A4 paper. Not too impressed to begin with but then a couple of the staff made us feel welcome. Pradeep the guy in the restaurant befriended us and made us feel at home. Philip was great, a well travelled man on cruise ships for many years, he know what hospitality means. No view from our balcony. Asked for slippers but were not complimentary we had to pay. Hotel In the middle of nowhere so not much to do.
