I stayed here with my family for three nights and four days.
Good things first. The room was neat and tastefully decorated. Room cleaning was done on time. Food at Chilli n Spice restaurant was good. The breakfast spread was satisfactory with chicken sausages,bacon/pork salami & eggs almost everyday. In the veg spread there was vada, upma, puri-sabzi,chole bhature,alu paratha, poha-sev,khasta kachori etc being rotated during my 3 mornings of stay. Cakes at the 24 hour coffee shop were good. The lounge overlooking 18th June Road was a good place to relax.
Now for the not so good things. 1. The roof of the bathroom suddenly started leaking and the guys who came to check had no clue whatsoever even after two visits. The only advise they could give us was to " use the AC sparingly OR change the room ". 2. The people at the reception also need a bit of more training. At times, like when I was checking out, I had to almost raise my voice to get someone to listen to me as the only lady at the counter was busy doing something else. I had to wait for about ten minutes for another guy to arrive . 3. The area around the swimming pool did not look clean and didnt quite befit the stature of this hotel.
But the greatest advantage of Fidalgo is its location. Markets are closeby. There are other restaurants nearby. The jetty from where the enjoyable evening river cruises on the Mandovi is also not too far, walkable in fact. Miramar beach is 5 mins by car, Dona Paula is about 15 mins and the twin beaches of Calangute & Baga are less than 30 min drive away. And it is beacause of this huge locational advantages that Fidalgo scores over its competitors in the same star segment despite the irritants that I mentioned.

We stayed at the Fidalgo for 1 night before going on the Golden Triangle tour. What a dump!

The staff on Reception weren't particularly friendly or welcoming when we checked in. The room was basic but okay in terms of furnishings, although the bed was very hard and the bathroom definitely smelt of stale urine! All in all, everything just had a grubby look about it. The toilets downstairs in the public area were also dirty and smelly.

At first glance, the pool looked okay but the water was definitely a bit cloudy. There is a strange metal archway over the pool - meant to be ornamental. Beware walking around the pool if you're tall - the edges of this arch are sharp and around head height if you're a bit over 6' tall.

Breakfast was dreadful. If you're on B&B, breakfast is included in the Chilli n Spice restaurant. Nobody was seeing people to tables or clearing away very quickly so we had to sit among the mess and debris left by earlier diners. We all left the table to go to the buffet, came back and another famly had sat down at our table! Items such as jam and butter ran out and the only tea or coffee available was made with hot canned milk.

The one saving grace of this hotel is the Mirsch Masala restaurant around the back. Expensive by Indian standards but a very extensive menu and superb food and service.

As our first introduction to India, we were wondering what we'd let ourselves in for. Fortunately our other hotels were far superior to this one.

I had stayed in this hotel with my kid and spouse for four days.
It is a nice piece of well maintained property, rooms are good , so are the resturants and the pool...... but nothing beyond that...hospitality is very poor... below par.
i was made to shift into three rooms during my four day stay, for reasons unknown.One of the rooms i was shifted in was full of ciggarette smoke and had wet& used towels . nobody attended to the complaints. I had to wait for the air freshner for atleast 5 hours and 15 calls to housekeeping & so keep my baby out of the room full of smoke for that long.
The staff is not very polite. Courtesies are missing everywhere.
The reception, resturant as well as housekeeping has untrained personnel recriuted from the local population & are poor with services and explanation.
Breakfast choice and lay out was too very very average.
I can recommend this hotel too people or couples who only need a shelter and nothing else.Plus I'd like that these people should know that there is more to the hospitality industry than the property alone...
