Kristal Sands Beach Resort, Calangute

The resort could be a decent choice if you're in a bind, but it definitely has its downsides. While the staff were quite nice, the dining experience was poor with limited and unappetizing food options. The rooms had a persistent damp smell, which was quite uncomfortable. Its proximity to the beach is a plus, but the overall experience did not meet the expectations set by the price.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The nice view of the pond from the balcony and direct bike rentals were definite highlights, and the staff was responsive. However, the kitchen was severely lacking, serving the same dish for days and the room smelled damp. While the pool was cleaned daily, the overall hygiene needed attention, making it feel less premium than expected.

I had a nice stay at this hotel, enjoying the comfy and clean rooms. The staff were brilliant and went out of their way to help us. However, the dining options were overpriced and lacked variety, which was disappointing. The hotel has a family-run feel, but the barking dogs during the night were a bit of a nuisance. Overall, I would recommend this hotel for its comfort and service, especially if you're looking for a good deal.

The hotel has a great location close to the beach, but the overall experience was disappointing. Rooms were in poor condition with a strong smell and cleanliness issues. While some staff were decent, others were unfriendly, which affected the service. Dining was a major letdown with very limited options and poor quality food, leaving much to be desired.

The resort is not quite what I expected. While the location is decent and close to the beach, the service I received was unacceptable with rude interactions. The overall cleanliness of the rooms was disappointing, and the dining experience was subpar. On the brighter side, the amenities like the swimming pool were a positive aspect, although it could have been more inviting.
