We stayed at Chalston Beach for 8 nights over Christmas at the end of our trip to India. The hotel and grounds are stunning, easily the best in Calangute from what we saw on our walks out. The rooms are both practical and immaculately clean, with great A/C. Should you require additional towels or toiletries…housekeeping are only a phone call away and are promptly delivered in no more than 5 minutes. The hotel has a lovely swimming pool with pool bar where you can order food and drinks all day…during our stay, with the majority of the guests off to the beach, we had the whole pool to ourselves. The restaurant….this is a real selling point for the hotel…fantastic setting directly on the beach with fantastic views, especially at sunset…there isn’t a a better view in the area. The menu offers options for all tastes..from curry to pizza, Chinese to pasta… and a fantastic choice of seafood…all cooked to perfection. To match the food, the service in the restaurant is the one of the best experiences we have received, the waiters are so polite and attentive to ensure every guest receives a premium experience whilst dining. The hotel is a family run business, and it certainly shows they care about their guests. Throughout the total stay, the owners and their Sons were on hand assisting around the property and in the restaurant…from clearing tables to serving breakfast…a real personal touch. The only negative we had about our stay was that we didn’t book enough nights, we could have easily stayed for a month. If you are looking for a hotel in the area, look no further, Chalston Beach has everything…and more.
