Best beach shacks in Candolim

Just sat at home on ANOTHER SNOW day and thought I%26#39;d start my list of best restaurants and beach shacks in preparation for our trip in April. (Dreaming of the sun and excellent food). Have done the restaurant one - which is far too long for a fortnights stay, but at least have list of ones to avoid aswell, saves us wasting any of our precious evenings. Now onto the beach shacks and haven%26#39;t been able to find as much on the forum for this so here we go... any recommendations. I know Claudina%26#39;s has come up a few times as being good with clean toilets. Also heard this place does an eat all you can evenings on thursdays with fireworks and entertainment, but not sure if this is still going on with teh security clamp downs... any ideas? Thanks all.x

We used Arabian Shack when we were there, best ladies toilets on the beach I would say!! Shacks along from there do the BBQ/firework nights but I cant remember the names - think one was Bobby%26#39;s and those themed nights were on when we were there two weeks ago....

Here`s Bobby`s, used to be great untill they started charging for the sun beds.

Hi just come back from candolim having spent 4wks there.. we go to a shack called Bayview (Was Baywatch) they are fantastic.. good food..clean toilets..and make you feel welcomed... but unlike last year all shacks seem to be charging all new people for there sun beds (we didn%26#39;t pay for ours)because we%26#39;ve been going there for 4 yrs now.. bayview charge 50rps for 2 beds.. claudina%26#39;s charge 100rps for 2 beds and have done for a lot of years because we went there before we went to Bayview.. Daganhamkal is still there.. when she gets back i%26#39;m sure she will post a lot more tips.. enjoy your holiday.

We%26#39;ve always used Sam%26#39;s Paradise on Candolim beach, it%26#39;s situated at the top end going towards Calangute, the food is very good and is usually a lot quieter than the shacks at the bottom of beach road, we have tried other shacks but always end up back at Sam%26#39;s we were there in December and the sunbeds were free (never been charged for them anyway at Sam%26#39;s) most of the shacks were offering free sunbeds whilst we were there. Don%26#39;t know what the situation is with the shacks on an evening, it was very low key in December as there was a lot of security about and nothing seemed to be happening on the beach after about 10pm although the Sunburn Festival did go ahead, but then again it did%26#39;nt go on late.

Thanks for the info guys. Just like to get a list together, of ones to make sure we try in first few days and then see what we like the best. I guess you just look to see where is busy, but it all just helps with excitement! lol - enjoying recommendations so we don%26#39;t miss any real gems though.x

We used Bono`s last year, simply for the toilets they were clean all tiled, there was also a shower.

His food was GOOD, but he did charge for the beds, maybe this year he may remember us, and be kind.

Hi sista_su,

Why not ask which shacks to AVOID and the reasons as most people have their favourite shack that suits their particular tastes.

hi sista su frank zappas is the one for us,the food is lovely, the staff are great especially the ones that look after us on the sun beds they are called ramessh %26amp; prakash two great lads.

Good thinking Bruahy! Will do now!!! CHeers

Hi SS, I think the amount of punters using the shacks speak for themselves. If a shack is popular and full and the one next door is half empty.....

My son is in Goa at the moment and he (and us) love Pete%26#39;s shacks on the beach behind the football pitch. The other day all the beds were taken at Pete%26#39;s so they had to settle for the shack next door which had empty beds and seats. Suffice to say they were not too happy with food or service there. He visited Calamari shack today and said it is lovely there, as is the hotel behind it! (There is a new larger pool there too, but there is building work going on next door which is a shame). We also liked Wagamama shack, who%26#39;s owner Luis is lovely, but not sure if it is there this year. Monica%26#39;s shack is nice too. We first went there 10 years ago when we stayed at the Whispering Palms Hotel, this is not far along from the Calamari.
