Has anyone stayed at this beach place before? Any tips/suggestions before I go (leaving in 2.5 weeks!).

Thanks!

Thanks Christine.

What type of clothing is appropriate in Goa? I%26#39;ve read mixed reviews (some saying that it%26#39;s best to be mostly covered for women - no shorts, bikinis etc and others say Goa is much more ';relaxed'; in terms of acceptable clothing. Any tips/suggestions would be great.

Clothing is not a problem in Goa. It is very much like the Mediterranean resorts. North Goa beaches are packed with skimpily clad holiday makers on sun-loungers three lanes deep! The south is much quieter and it is still possible to find a lovely area of beach all to yourself. Goa is not like the rest of India due to the Portuguese influence as they ruled Goa for many years. Even the Goan people think of India as being somewhere else.

When in Salcette you must visit the excellent party venue at %26#39;Treat Yourself%26#39;. Regular parties take place with barbecue, bar, band and fireworks. Any special occassion for you and they will put a party together. They also have rooms and a swimming pool + gym and ayurveda. Ask any taxi/rickshaw for Frank%26#39;s Gym.

Regarding swim wear, bikinis etc ...

A friend of mine took his family from the Punjab in north India to Goa for a holiday last month.

His wife and the two kids had never seen the sea before. Goa was quite an exotic place for them and they enjoyed it very much. On returning home, my friends eight year old daughter was on the phone to me in UK and she told me, ';The people in Goa do not have any clothes. When I go there again I will take some for them!'; Enjoy your holiday.

we stayed a couple of hundred yards away on the same beach .. have to say that there were always a lot of out of state Indians staying there at weekends, and the restaurant area is very basic, didn%26#39;t get as far as seeing the rooms

Enjoy Goa its the best
