The 132-room Radisson Blu Resort Goa Cavelossim Beach is an upper-middle-range hotel popular with families, and located a 10-minute walk from Cavelossim Beach. Like common areas, spacious rooms have Indo-Portuguese touches, plus flat-screen TVs, minibars, and kettles. Adults and kids have their own outdoor pool, and a kids' club has a game room. Dining options include a 24-hour buffet eatery, Indo-Portuguese spot, and Portuguese restaurant and bar with live music. A simple spa houses treatment rooms, a sauna, hot tub, and fitness center. A ballroom caters to functions, but frequent wedding parties can swamp the property and leave facilities closed to existing guests. Other downsides include complaints of faulty electrics and poor air-conditioning, and some parts of the hotel are dated. Travelers wanting a beachfront property should consider Taj Holiday Village Resort & Spa.

Scene
Chain resort with Indo-Portuguese architecture and pretty grounds
On Cavelossim's main beach road, the region's colonial heritage gives a personal touch to this chain hotel's vast and semi-outdoor lobby. Carved white pillars supporting a lofty wood ceiling surround Indo-Portuguese influences -- including Vasco da Gama murals, a ship replica complete with sails, and traditional tile-effect flooring. Warm earth tones and intricate wood carvings are found throughout, but the traditional look can feel more dated than charming. Aside from the main building, there are cottage-like villas, and well-maintained paths divide lush lawns with palm trees and lead to the freeform outdoor pool. The large ballroom draws wedding parties, which can unfortunately lead to some areas being blocked off for other guests. Although most guests are families, the atmosphere is quiet and peaceful.
