I stayed at this place to avoid the crowds at Calangute and Baga. I must tell you that this place is as crowded and noisy as the more popular beaches. I walked in to this resort and booked a room - so I managed to get the best rate if not the best room. This place is more popular with non Indian crowd.
Accommodation is in Bamboo huts and that is a welcome relief to any urbanite. Rooms are clean. Only few more expensive ones have attached bathrooms - so beware
Positives: Bamboo hut, low tariff, tasty food
Things that needs improvement : Service quality
I have nothing against Ciaran's Camp. Next time I will go Patnem Beach just to avoid the crowd and the attendant noise
