The Tamarind is an excellent place to stay if you want peace and quiet. The staff are very friendly and the place is very tranquil. There is no fridge or coffee making facility but so what!

We have just returned from a two week, post Christmas break in Goa. This was our first experience of India and travelling from the airport through towns such as Candolim and Calangute with their 'Full English Breakfasts' & 'British Theme Pubs' caused us some anxiety about our choice of destination.

Was the leafy shaded garden at the entrance? The gentle humming of the fans on the veranda where we spent many a... more

I have just returned from an excellent 2 week stay at the Tamarind, and honestly it was by far one of the most friendly hotels that I have good fortune to stay at. Service was excellent ! and all staff seemed unable to do enough to make your stay great. I would recommend this hotel to people who want to... more

The Tamarind hotel is the perfect chilled out retreat. I'm going back there in january 05 for the third time. The first time I went on my own and on the second week met my future wife by the pool.
