Kenilworth Beach Resort & Spa

I am an Indian, and stayed at the Kenilworth Resort Goa in May 2006 with my wife and 2 small kids. I booked the deluxe sea-view room (pool view) and took a 3 n - 4d package. The checking out was a strange experience. The desk officer tells me "Sir, one bed towel is missing!" I was aghast and was very angry with myself. We opened all our bags (4 big ones!) and did not find the missing towel. Despite that, the desk officer took some time before confirming on the phone with someone (shall i let them go?) and then telling me "You may go... more

I have just spent a week with my girlfriend at this resort.Unfortunately I would strongly advise travellers not to stay at the Kenilworth. The hotel itself is kept relatively clean although I would agree with other reviews which stated that the bathrooms were not spotless. My room was quite dirty and I had to ask for it to be cleaned again when I arrived. The pool area is very nice and quite relaxed although you do need to be quick in the morning getting a good spot. The significant problem at the hotel is the noise level.The... more

I have just come back from two weeks of absolute paradise!!!! The hotel is not justified enough at all and i will be posting some pictures shortly to let it be known at the extent to which the Kenilworth is the best hotel EVER to stay at. Not only are the grounds well kept,spacious,clean and tidy. The people working there could never do enough to make your stay the best. My boyfriend proposed to me while we were there and the staff could not do more to make the night as enchanting and perfect as it was. They helped him... more

The best recommendation for any hotel is that when you meet people staying there they have been coming back year after year - this is the case with the Kenilworth! I do not feel the brochure pictures do the place justice. The Hotel and Pool/Grounds are lovely. The location is good too. Not in a busy area but in easy reach of Colva and/or Margeo. ACCOMMODATION - our ititial 4 days was spent in one of their 'Delux Beach Tents' right by the beach - we were told we were being upgraded but subsequently found out that it was just a... more

We have just returned from a lovely four week stay in the Kenilworth hotel. We arrived stressed, tired and thoroughly worn out. We have returned to the UK refreshed, tanned, and feeling great, Some of this could be put down to the charm of Goa and the sunshine but a lot is down to the charming, helpful staff and the peaceful atmosphere of the Kenilworth. We have been to Goa twice before and have never felt so at home and comfortable as in the Kenilworth. It's location is perfect only 15 mins from the airport and fairly central for most... more

On arrival at the Kenilworth you are greeted by a very smart security guard and a waiter with cold drinks. Reception is very organised and the rooms are not too far from reception for dragging suitcases, although the porters are very quick to bring your luggage for you. The rooms, as does the hotel, have an old colonial feel, with a separate terrace where there are wicker chairs and a table. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are kept spotlessly clean. The shower is efficient and there is always plenty of hot water. There is air... more

We have just returned from 2 sunkissed weeks at the Kenilworth Hotel. It was our first trip to Goa and it is the most fantastic place which everyone should pay a visit to. The hotel on first impressions is very grand and you are greeted by very efficient staff. The rooms are gorgeous and they each have a separate conservatory type room overlooking the gardens. They have everything you could possibly need and are of a very high standard. The swimming pool area is stunning, it is the 2nd largest pool in Goa and it is very pretty... more

We have just returned from 2 weeks at the Kennilworth. Very nice resort. Rooms very nice and pool is excellent. Few downs. We booked the package with all meals included. Unfortunately that means Indian Curry for breakfast lunch and dinner!!!!There was no European choices on the buffet. Unless you were keen to lay around the pool all day there was absolutley nothing else to do. Happy hour at the Lobby bar was great except they take 30 mins to mix the cocktail.

Well, first of all you have to realise that this is India and not Europe.... This a great resort, spacy rooms, a very large pool, lots of free sunbeds with free towels and a hardworking staff. Large garden, do not sit under the coconutpalms, you might get a headache :o). The climate in february is perfect, not to hot and sunshine all day long. Fantastic sunsets every evening at the beach. The sandy beach is never crowded, but the strong tide makes it difficult if you are going for a swim. And certainly not recommended for... more

This was our second holiday at Kenilworth Beach Resort, our last holiday being in April 2002. We loved the hotel and the staff are exceptionally friendly. However, when we visited the hotel in 2002, the gym and "spa" were in what can only be described as a dungeon with no windows! However, this has been completely refurbished and the gym now has full height windows looking over the beautiful gardens and pool. Like many people we were worried about getting food poisoning in India but we had no problems at all and nor did anyone we spoke... more
