Candolim|0.55km from city center
I stayed at Fortune Acron (R.No.2404) on a six day break at Candolim with wifey and my baby girl. It is a great place to stay for the following reasons:
1. Amazing staff- i've never met such a 'ready to help and serve,' bunch of youngsters. Sincere, affable and courteous to the core. This hotel is a great place because of these youngsters and others making up the staff in Fortune Acron.
2. Great Location- Just 700 metres from Candolim Beach. And there is a shuttle service of Wagon R (s) operated by extremely polite and full of info about the town drivers- Rama, Vijay and Robert. Three great guys! Rama even loaned me Rs.20/- when I didnt have change for my Limca. And he never asked for it till I paid him! This shows character of the place! So thank you Rama, Vijay and Robert. I also want to thank Satyavan, the security Guard at the Gate *****with the young sardar and the fellow from Karnatka.
3. Dining staff- Rohit Barnwal is amazing, and is the most charming of them all in this hotel. The bartender Anjan is cheerful and a great guy to talk to. So were Neeteesh, Nirjala, Sheen ,Vikram and others whom I dont recollect but were amazing every single day. Prithiviraj and Apoorva at the reception are elegant and very friendly. So are the young ladies whose names are escaping me at the moment.
4. Piano Session in the afternoons with Joachim
5. Musical evenings and nightly Bazar in the Hotel lobby.
6. Extremely prompt housekeeping with Eqbaal, Dhruv, Yeshu and others. The lifeguards at the pool side were very efficient and vigilant with little kids.
The only improvement that I feel is a better rotation of receipes in the buffet dinner. Otherwise Fortune Acron Rocks!
And it rocks bigtime.
