Fern Gardenia is one of the few "resorts" in Palolem as the rest of the accomodation available in the area is more on the lines of beach cabins. Perfect for travelling with family.They have nice wooden cabins around a decent pool. Staff were very friendly and efficient. The food was good if you like basic Indian and chinese. Menu is... More

I decided to stay at The Fern Gardenia because it was away from the "busy" beach area. A good situatioin a short walk or free courtsey car ride from the Hotel and you are on the beach surrounded by shops looking for hippy customers to sell their quite horrible Junk. Some very nice places to eat there (Banyan tree) and... More

Once past the reception area the entire property is a paradise. The pool is well maintained and quite an attraction. The bar is well attended but the same is not true for the food! I found the restaurant service spotty and the menu without imagination. Head to Palolem beach for your meals. The rooms are very spacious and the internet... More

Clean place, nice pool. Rooms are large and made of artificial wood. Giving nice feeling. Swiming pool has pool side bar. Bad and little varity of food. For dinner not much options for a resort in goa. Food quality is average to bad. Zero hospitality.

We stayed at Fern Gardenia in the month of April (which is off season). We found this little place to be excellent. The cabins were small but just beautiful, the service from staff was polite and they went out of their way to be helpful. They provided us with helpful information about the places to see and the complimentary beach... More

When we arrived at this place it looked absolutely amazing. Staff at desk seemed nice enough. However we realised pretty quickly it was a disaster. The room was amazing but after suffering the staff I'd never recommend this place to anyone. Me and my partner went to the restaurant which was empty at 7pm which seemed odd. After we ordered...
