...the Portuguese control. This makes Goa on of the most densely populated Christian Populated region in India, however several other cities do follow the religion. My Hotel: Now there are so many hotels in Goa, largely due to the fact that it has become such a global tourist attraction in recent years. Hotels range from small hostels, to 1 - 5 star resorts, along the beach or nearby the beach. We at the Holiday Inn Goa resort, which was one of the ...
...it must be tried as Goa is famous for its seafood, for obvious reasons. Breakfast and Dinner are served in all the restaurants; however breakfast closes at 11:30 so make sure your awake early.

Advantages: Hot, Stunning views, Lots to Do, Fun, Perfect for a tan!
Disadvantages: None

...Gorgeous Or Amazing? Goa - the land of all natural beauty. Somewhere where you can just escape to and feel like you've left the planet. A holiday which once you embark upon will be totally unforgettable. A great luxury five star experience awaits you at the rich sandy beaches looking out at the far horizon sitting above the tranquil Indian Ocean. There was so much to do and so much to experience yet only four days to do so. This is my experience… ...
...used to the heat. Goa is awesome though, hardly ever rains, in fact I don't think it rains at all, but I'm not too sure considering I stayed for four days. It's just the shock of heat that is really uncomfortable. All I needed was a nice cold shower so I waited patiently in the mini van until we got to the hotel. But I was more fascinated by the stunning tropical views of all these palm trees, beaches, and not quite like the Mediterranean Sea was ... Read review

...best friend and myself visited Goa in March this year. It was our first time here; we had a fantastic time and would certainly return there. Before we left Before we left for Goa, we were required to buy a Visa. This cost us £30. We downloaded the forms from the Internet and sent them to the Visa office in London. Our visa took about 2 weeks to arrive. The Flight The flight was 10 hours from Gatwick airport to Goa. From the airport our hotel ...
...to see various parts of Goa that we wouldn't have necessarily seen if we hadn't made the journey. The Airport The staff at the airport were very efficient. Our baggage came out within 5 minutes of us arriving which was great. I really wanted a cigarette after the 10-hour flight and eventually we saw an ashtray inside the airport and asked the guard standing near if it would be ok to smoke. He told us that would be fine and a few people began smoking. ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap food, lovely locals and plenty to do
Disadvantages: Visa costs £30

...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. Food and Drink Its not all curries either there is a good range of food but no fast food outlets apart from Dominos Pizza and a Baskin Robbins! We have never had a problem with "Delhi Belly "as we only use bottled water especially for cleaning teeth and rinsing toothbrush. Just be sensible and eat food that is fresh ...
...excellent selection of seafood in Goa and this is also very reasonably priced - for a large Kingfish it cost us £3 and this is more than enough for 2 people to share. We found a lovely restaurant called Souza Lobos which is right on the seafront. This is one of the more expensive restaurants, still very reasonably priced - you would look to pay about £1.20 for a main meal. Everybody in Goa knows where this restaurant is.

...to through out my life, Goa would be on top of my list. This op isn’t particularly about Goa itself I would say it is more of an honest opinion of what I saw and did. I cannot tell you their religions or beliefs, I cannot tell you their history, or any geography details, as I went for a holiday not a research trip. Panaji is the capital of this west Indian state. (I’m bright for knowing that) Don’t you think. How can I describe Goa….Palm trees ...
...visit. The people in Goa are so friendly and are more than willing to help you. I felt quite safe walking around. I am not saying all parts of India are safe, but in general Goa seemed ok. Goa only has one airport that is in Dabolim What is there to see and do once you are there…. Churches, forts, wildlife centres etc. but that is not my kind of thing. I prefer mixing with the locals and of course going to the famous Anjuna market which is held ... Read review
