Serenity by the sea Candolim, Goa. We stayed at Serenity for a month from November to December. We don't normally go this early but found out our visa still had 6 weeks left so grabbed a last minute deal. The hotel is situated behind Horizon bar and grills. The food there was excellent with great staff. Our room had a fridge, kettle safe Tv and brilliant A/C unit although it was a bit loud. The room and bedding could be cleaned daily but we had it done every two days just to refresh everything. We always got good quality towels and the bedding looked fairly new. The mattress was deep albeit hard. Drinking water was also supplied. The staff were very friendly and very helpful. My only downside was when the local Indian tourists came, a lot would swim fully clothed and we saw two of them choke so they spat their contents into the grilled trough around the pool. Luckily, we saw this on our last week and obviously never went in again. That isn't the hotels fault, its the clientele. One person complained about the creatures that came from the greenery around the pool but its India, hot and sunny. Ants and bugs don't stay in tbe background even if you do give them a stern warning not to venture out. Maybe a jetwash would help? Who knows. Overall, its in a good location close to the beach and other bars and restaurants. Would we stop again? Definitely. We've been to Goa many times and although this isn't the best we have stayed in, its perfectly acceptable, and not the worst for the money.

Serenity by the sea has a big, clean pool. The room was big and clean; has an ac, fan, and a fridge but no electric kettle. Beddings were clean. Breakfast is not included. You can have breakfast and other meals at the attached restaurant, karlton grill. It's close to the main road and around a 10minute walk to candolim beach.
