Goa, like anywhere India we imagine, is a bit of a culture shock if you have never been before. Even so, after a couple of days you soon get into the Goan way of life. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves & there were only a couple of days that rain stopped play but then there was shopping or a bar! We hired a moped & went to at least half a dozen beaches. We would love to go again during the main season to see these beaches & the sea at their best but have to say on a sunny day it was gorgeous, hot & bright. Our nearest resort was Calungute but we often went to Baga beach. We never had a bad meal & infact the Sag Aloo just improved at every diffent restuarant! The best meal we had was in the regional capital Panjim. The only 2 negatives were the beach sellers could get annoying and all the local perverts that wanted to take pictures of my wife with cameras or mobile phones. Some asked permission most tried to do it covertly. Lovely beaches & people, great food & beers and cheap!
Useful Tips:
Try as many beaches & restuarants as possible until you find your favourite. Keep an eye on the locals trying to pictures of yur women! Enjoy the scenery, beaches & culture. Riding a moped is an expeience but be careful on the roads! A horn is a must!

Well thought seeing as this was my 8th trip to Goa l would write a review.. The place is truly amazing and such a delight to be in. The people are friendly and most would get or do anything for you. The beaches are wonderful some quiet and some busy but you find a beach to suit every person. A destination that must be visited...
Useful Tips:
Markets, Bargins... Resturants such as Brittos

The hotel was very good, staff were helpful any problems were soon sorted out. Food was fantastic, curries of every flavour, labelled so that you knew what you were getting. There was of course 'Western food' but to go to Goa and not sample the local food would have been a waste of time. The villas were lovely, well-equipped and cleaned to perfection. The pool was a good size but generally used by the same people all day every day, so we went to the beach which is just a 2 minute walk. The sellers on the beach were friendly and happy to talk if you didn't want to buy. The beach bar was so cheap it made sense to go there for a cool down. Food was available there but I did see through the screening curtain once and would not advise eating anything, although as far as I know no-one had any tummy problems. The area immediately outside the hotel was busy and the river was beautiful, but litter spoilt it.

25th time to India, first time in Arpora, and totally loved it. Our hotel, the Abalone Resort, offered great food, friendly service and a large clean pool in fairly rural surroundings. Approx. 2 miles to Baga beach by (cheap) taxi. Handy also for the N. Goa beaches of Anjuna, Mandrem, Morjim and Ashvem. Forget the once beautiful Arumbol, which has been colonised mainly by ganja-puffing Russians with attitude! Highly recommended.
Useful Tips:
Chear food, cheap clothes, silver and gold jewellery.
