The mid-range Country Inn & Suites By Carlson is a family-friendly hotel, set back from the buzz of Candolim's main street and a 10-minute walk from the beach. Its 98 charming rooms have colonial-style furnishings, balconies with chairs, and minibars, but they're showing wear and tear. Beautiful interiors have Indo-Portuguese touches, while solid features include a pretty outdoor pool with a built-in kiddy section, plus a hot tub, spa, gym, and 24-hour restaurant serving international fare. Travelers looking for direct beach access could consider the Santana Beach Resort, though rooms aren't as charming.
