Goa

Goa was a fantastic place we stayed at the heritage village, it's a first choice hotel but I booked through winter sunshine holidays. The hotel cost £189.00 all inclusive for both me and my partner. I booked the flights with Thomson fly as a late deal they cost around £130.00 for both of us. This was back in April 2007, we soon realised why the flight was so cheap, the flight out had 39 people on board. It was great we all used the rows of four to lie across and got a great nights sleep. The hotel itself was great, nice food lovely staff and a fantastic pool area. It was very quiet when we went as it was the last week out for flights from England. We ended up ...  Read the complete review

I visited North Goa a year ago and found it an exhilarating feast for the senses. When you arrive at the airport it can be a bit overwhelming - men will try and elicit a tip by holding or touching your case on the way to your coach - don't be fazed - find your tour company rep, get directions to your coach and just firmly tell anyone trying to "help" that you are fine and will find your own way and they'll soon leave you alone.

March 2006 was our 3rd visit to Goa. We usually stay in Calangute It's a nice bustling resort with lots of choice of good inexpensive restaurants and a long sandy stretch of beach .We stay in the cheapest accommodation that has a pool on a B & B basis as staying all inclusive in Goa is a total waste of money as it really is SO easy to find good food and inexpensive drink anywhere.

We have never had a problem with "Delhi Belly "as we only use bottled water especially for cleaning teeth and rinsing ...  Read the complete review

Goa..In our minds it seems to promise mystery, adventure and a complete seperation from reality. For the clubber this promise is realised in the form of strange parties, in strange places, and populated by the strangest people. If you want to find the true Goan dance-music experience you should head to Anguna, where most of the remaining Hippy and traveller population settle for months of free parties. Clubs in the way we know them in England do not exist here; all venues are outdoors and exotically located but it is the Trance and Full Moon parties that are the essense of Goa. Usually people will gather to watch the sun go down at a ...  Read the complete review
