anniversary in goa

Hi Phil

Have a look through some of the existing threads on this forum.

North and South Goa are quite different. The north is quite built up, busy, lively, the south is quieter and less built up. It depends entirely on what sort of holiday you want.

hi london. we are looking for a mixture of a peaceful holiday with some entertainment also, the most important being quiet at night, is there anywhere you can suggest so i could have a look at?

thanks

I%26#39;d suggest somewhere in the south - Haathi Mahal in Cavelossim, or the Holiday Inn for starters? Or possibly the Majorda (which apparently is due to undergo a refurb at the end of this season).

There are other posh hotels in the south like the Leela Palace (which I wouldn%26#39;t stay in on principle, but that%26#39;s another matter entirely), Park Hyatt, Kenilworth that you could look at. I%26#39;ve no idea what your budget is or what sort of hotel you prefer. Have you had a look at some of the tour operators%26#39; brochures?

Have a look at Cavelossim/Mobor, any questions on the area just ask? For some photo%26#39;s of acouple of trips based there have a look at flickr.com/photos/… and flickr.com/photos/… they will give you a bit of an idea of the area.

we went to Dona Sylvia for the first time and for our 25th....it was a great first time experience, now we have the Goabug!

Its in Cavelossim or you could try the Holiday in thats really nice and maybe spend the night in a beach hut for romance ..or a couple of nights at Cola Beach as a special treat. http://www.colabeach.com/faqs.html

hi, not seen any brochures yet im sending the missus down town to get them tomorrow, i%26#39;ll have a look through the places you have recommended.

thanks

hi alisha, that is the first hotel i looked at on the firstchoice website and it did look rather nice, i%26#39;ll get some brochures and have a look at it

thanks

The only thing about the D.S.is that it is All Inclusive and the food in Goa is so cheap and is fantastic with some great restaurants that unless the price is the same/similar as B%26amp;B then it is not worth it (and even then I would still be sure to eat out most of the time)

eh up jock, i have read back on this forum and a lot of people are saying the same thing as you, it depends on what deal we can get and if there is not much price difference we will go a.i but still eat out aswel
