I am a Goan and had been on a holiday to Palolem and chanced upon Ciarans.This place is basic but highest in aesthetic value.The huts are basic but very clean and ecofriendly. We had a great time in the restaurant.The staff and management made our stay very memorable.

We (me and my wife) stayed here from 1st to 4th May 2013. The location is just fantastic, just on the beach and food is good, but that's it!! Honestly, I did not find any greatness about the hotel. Few flip sides that any traveler should keep in mind. Those are: 1. No dedicated parking space - so if you... More

We went to Palolem for 3 nights and since this was our second visit we knew exactly where to stay and what to expect. We love Palolem and love Ciaran's. Infact the first time when we stayed here we had promised ourselves to go back again. And go back we did! Ciaran's is very well located- right on the beach.... More

We hadn't booked anywhere and walked all along the beach to compare places to stay, and ended up there mostly because they were the only ones with a RELIABLE WI FI CONNECTION (which the work alcoholics we are desperately needed). The place is BEAUTIFUL - probably the fanciest on Palolem beach - and attention to details (such as little lights... More

Ciarans is a nice and safe choice if you are a first time traveller to India. We chose it because of all the excellent reviews and we did have a nice time there...actually is quite hard not to have a good time in Palolem, but... the price is really scandalous for what the huts have to offer. We do not... More

Stayed here with my girlfriend for around one week in march-april. We were first time visitors to Goa. Ciaran's has a fantastic relaxed atmosphere, and, I believe, a high standard of their bungalows compared to many others, but I think the price reflects this. We stayed in a Garden view hut without AC, which was extremely hot at nighttime for... More

Firstly i would like to establish my Palolem credentials. I have visited the resort 5 times in the last 10 years and seen it change into the tourist haven it is today. I feel that its on the cusp, the tourists and their western demands have brought about a better standard of cleanliness and accommodation... gone are the days when... More

We moved to Ciarans after spending one night in a place at the other end of the beach and not liking it! We decided to go for an ac room rather than a bungalow which was quite pricey at 5000 rupees per night but it was really quiet, cool and comfortable and definitely worth it. The staff were all really... More

Set just behind the beach, it offers sea views when eating at its good if not great restaurant. Well two actually as one specialises in mediterranean food. Staff are very good and quietly efficient if sometimes a bit slow, but hey, this is south Goa where the pace should be easy. Cabins are set behind the beach-facing restaurant and are... More
