I stayed at Citade de Goa for 4 nights and my purpose of visit was work and vacation. While this was our first vacation ever with our 4 month old infant, we were very very apprehensive but we had a fantastic time at Citade.
The property is now under Taj and has fantastic rooms, great views from most parts of the resort and its indeed worth booking a sea facing room!
I must mention that the staff were very friendly and did everything under their control to keep us comfortable and happy, especially since we were traveling with our baby. They provided us with a baby cot even before we asked ( but they didn't have any stoller or pram, despite the fact that they had confirmed that they ll provide us one, when we called to confirm the booking 3 days prior to reaching Goa. But luckily we had our own stroller, since we had to travel further on)
I must mention that this is one of the oldest resorts of Goa, but provides modern amenities.
Special mentions - the assistance and service provided by Mr Soumalya (front desk, was very cooperative, cheerful and helpful, helped us with a room upgrade) and also Mr Raghunath. Mr Shailesh, Mr Akshay, Mr Vinayak, Ms Hlutei - all took very good care of us both with in house dining and room facilities - to the very word.
The breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets are exotic, more than anyone can ask for. Sous chef and Chefs Bhima, Debashish ( nice cheese dosa) and others whose names i didn't know did a great job indeed.
They have activities for families, kids throughout the day and a nice pool. The beach is just about 50 meters walk from most rooms. The view from the lobby balcony is amazing and theirs live music playing every evening. Value for money. Will definitely recommend and re visit this place.

Cons : phone calls to be handled better, esp clarity about availability of some facilities like baby stroller.
Hardly any rooms had bath tubs - which is something one is looking forward on a holiday.
The mattress of the room 119- was larger at the edge than the wooden support below so one has the risk of slipping and falling at the side. Plz check and repair.
