| said: We came across Lucia Beach Guest House in the internet. It was highly recommended and seeing no other alternative, we decided to try. From the very moment we saw it we realized we were extremely lucky we had an opportunity to check in. We do highly recommend everyone to book beforehand for Lucia Beach Guest House is very popular among guests and rather busy. The hosts are a lovely, friendly and helpful couple. They were too kind and served us a different type of breakfast every morning. The guesthouse is perfectly located—not to close to the main town highway, so we were lucky to spend evenings on the spacious balcony being not disturbed by the noise, and 5-minute walk to the sea. We loved holidays spent there a lot.

| said: This is very basic and you definitely get what you pay for. We ordered a taxi from the owners only to find he never turned up to pick us up from the airport. we waited an hour before deciding to make our own way.
Hotel room was very small and was shared with 4 different species of ants and a host of other insects. There was also so building work going on right outside our room every day which was very noisy and annoying.
I think they was offended when we never ate the breakfast and never got the free meal either. The hotel is in a good location for the beach.
Candolim itself was OK but not OK for young couples as you get too much hassle particularly my girlfriend, lots of beggars too.
I would only recommend this place for people who dont mind hundreds of ants and likes budget accommodation. If i came back to Goa I would be staying in 5 star accommodation like the Taj.

Candolim is a great place to visit, only wished we had stayed somewhere else.

| said: My family got back from Candolim on Jan 23rd, 2008.
We stayed at Lucia Beach Guest House.
The staff are amazing just like everyone else says.
They will do anything for you. Tehy even let us use their kitchen for our son.
We traveled with our 20 month old son.
There are 6 rooms I believe and they are usually booked. Just write them an email and wait up to 2 days for a response. We paid a 20-30 % deposit through Western Union. The family is very honest who run this place, so don't worry about losing your money
The hotel is clean enough by India standards. There is no restaurant in the Guest House, but there are so many restaurants nearby, so that is not a problem at all. We had a huge fridge in our room and they stock it with drinks and water, and they charge the same prices as the stores, so it is so convenient.
each room has a big ceiling fan and hot water
We looked at most of the rooms. It seems it is more or less the same people who stay at this Guest House year after year.
All rooms have a terrace. Ours was huge. You get good breakfast served to your room. It is so much better breakfast than you will get at most hotels.
1 room has a small kitchenette. (stove/sink/fridge). ANd one room actually is split up to two rooms with a big bed in each (great for family). The rest of the rooms are normal hotel size rooms with bed and bathroom
As far as Candolim goes, it seems to be growing very fast, just like the rest of Goa. The only negative is the ocean has a pretty strong current, which makes it tough with so young a child. For that reason alone, I would suggest another beach, if your child is a wanderer and fearless like ours.
Although It is beautiful water for an adult.
The Guest house is about 250 meters from the beach. You really can't get much closer than that in Candolim. It is on the quietest street ever. No cars can even drive all the way to the Guest House.
There is a hotel with pool only 30 meters away and if you order food/drinks, you can use it.
If I go back to Candolim, I will definitely stay here again.
The crowd in Candolim is high 40s- high 50s in age, so it is relaxed. We saw very few younger couples and young families.
If you go to Candolim, stay at this Guest House (it is actually in Sinquerim, which is the south end of Candolim).

| said: All the reviews we had previously read on Lucia Guest House were correct.
It was a pleasure to meet Lucia and Joseph and they ensured we enjoyed our stay at their guest house. The breakfasts they brought us every day to our balcony were excellant.
The room was cleaned every day with fresh towels and sheets. The view from our balcony was lovely and you could watch the sunset every evening.
The location of the guest house is good just on the outskirts of Candolim but within a couple of minutes you can reach the closet bars and restaurants. It has an excellent location with only 2 minutes walk to the beach from the back of the Guest House.
I would defintely recommend this to anyone and would return here on my next visit to Goa

| said: What a gem of a guest house.
It's location is perfect, away from the hustle and bustle of Candolim's main street, but only a short stroll to the beach and several good restaurants.
It's about a 15 minute walk up to Candolim's main beach road.
Joseph and Lucia are a lovely couple, they cannot do enough for you. The rooms are cleaned daily, fresh sheets and towels every two days, Lucia even asks what you prefer for breakfast and does her best to please you. Nothing is too much trouble for them.
You wont be disappointed staying here, you are treated as one of the family, their home is your home.
We will definitely go back.

We stayed with Joseph & Lucia for the first of what we hope will become many times.
If you decide to holiday at the Lucia Beach Guest House take Lucia some galaxy chocolate as you cannot but it in Goa.

Joseph, Lucia and their son Lawrence are the nicest people you could meet. We were made to feel very welcome.
The guest house is in a fantastic location, it is in the quiet end of Candolim where it is peaceful and clean. It is just a short walk from the beach and close to restaurants and shops.
The rooms are large and very clean - sheets and towels were changed regularly.
Breakfast is brought to your room each morning. Its something different every day, but always delicious and accompanied by a daily chat with Lucia or Joseph.
We can't wait to return in 2007!!

| said: I stayed at Joseph and Lucias in November & December 2006.
Booked in for 5 days but found it hard to leave so end up staying 20+ days. I slept in all but one of the rooms which were all excellent but the rooms at the back do have a superior view with balcony's that you can sit out on and watch the sunset as well as the various wildlife.
As hosts, Joseph & Lucia cant be beaten and as for the breakfasts delivered to your room every morning with a good chat to start the day, what can I say...
I miss the place so much now that I'm back home and can't wait to get back there.

The hosts Lucia, Joseph and their son Lawrence treat all guests with respect and affection , their home is your home.
The rooms are large, clean ,private facilities and excellent balconies offering views over the cocoanut groves and the Arabian sea.
The bird and general wildlife viewed from the balconies include; Mongoose, Kingfishers, Fish Eagles, Hummimg Birds (or similar), and pigs!
Breakfasts are served on your balcony, fresh fruit and maybe an egg dish or Lucia's pancakes.
The location is perfect for the beach,and the shops and restaurants are a few minutes walk.

| said: I highly recommend Lucia Beach Guesthouse.
The owners, Joseph and Lucia Fernandes, are the nicest people in the world. They make everyone they meet feel very welcome, and are always ready to help out with advice and their kindness. The location is absolutely breathtaking, and you can fall asleep to the sound of the ocean at night.
I have been going to Goa for many years now, and I have always stayed with Joseph and Lucia, who have always made me feel part of the family. In fact, I feel that they are so much a part of my family that my husband and I are bringing our new baby to meet them in January! Joseph and Lucia are just wonderful people, and I highly recommend Lucia Beach Guesthouse above all others!

Joseph and Lucia are so friendly you'll feel like one of the family in days, what other hotel will invite you to eat with the family on your last night?
Breakfast would be bought to your room every morning and would be something different every day.
Stayed in a beach facing room with great views of the sunsets. Early morning you sit on your balcony watching numerous brightly coloured parrakeet's, kingfishers, rollers and bee-eaters flying close by, palm squirrels running up and down the palm trees.... Heaven!! Absolutely no other buildings between you and the beach!! Right next to the Taj one one side and the Kingfisher Villa on the other..
Will definitely be going to stay with them again.

| said: What can you say about Lucia beach guest house , with Joseph and Lucia ? For us it was absolutley perfect, clean, friendly , quiet, as close to the beach as you would want.
We had one of the upstairs set of rooms , facing the ocean. The rooms are light and airy, with a little balcony, just perfect for breakfast (lovely fresh fruit, tea and toast -brought to you just when you need it , Joseph and Lucia have an uncanny knack of knowing just when you are back in the land of the living!), and Sundowners!
If on holiday you like to have your own space ,where you can relax in peaceful, beautiful surroundings yet you are only a short taxi ride away from the hustle and bustle , then the Lucia Beach Guest house is the place to go. We loved it, and will be back again just as soon as we possibly can, and for 3 weeks at least!

| said: Lucia beach guest house is a small family run bed and breakfast in Candolim. It is situated right next door to the Taj at the Sinquerim end of Candolim!
It has about 6 rooms that are let out, for any period of time, we stayed for three months! The rooms vary, the one we had, had a fridge, bathroom and bedroom. Some others are larger with kitchen and air con, if you want it! Fans are adequate! we had a room looking straight out to the beach. It is about 100meter walk down through the sand dunes to baywatch beach shack! Great place, great owners!!!! Good place to watch the sunset, or you can watch it form your room!
The guest house is owned by a Goan family and their son. They clean your room every other day, and change the sheets!!! They have lots of stories to tell! Speak English to! They also have there own taxi driver (their nephew) and before you travel you can arrange with them for him to pick you up from the airport!
It is in a very good location, at the quite end of Candolim, down the same road as the Lui beach hotel. You can also use the pool in this hotel if you buy drinks at the bar!!!
There are taxi drivers waiting at the end of the road if you don't want to walk, and the bus to Mapusa, Panjim, Calangute also stops at the end! We use to walk up into the main Candloim beach road and it takes about 20mins! it's good walking down the beach or along the road!
Satying here doesn't feel touristy! The houses surrounding are local Goan house, with their own pigs! The grand Kingfisher mansion is next door to!
It is a very nice place to stay, you won't be disappointed!
If you do email the owner it may take a few days for a reply!!!! just to warn you, he isn't ignoring your emails, I just don't think they check it everyday!!
