Radisson White Sands Resort, Goa

Advantages: New, Spacious
Disadvantages: Out of the way, expensive, no facilities

...Just come back from a week in the Radisson Golden Sands Hotel (October 2007). The Hotel and Rooms are clean and spacious, however beds especially the sofa beds are every uncomfortable. The food is very expensive and unfortunately is nothing special. Good view overlooking the small beach, and good outdoor swimming pools. Bring your walking boots as the hotel is miles from anywhere. There are no shopping facilities apart from a small gift store, a jewellery store, and a poorly stocked excuse for a food store. Overall comments and experience, overrated, overpriced, not a 5*, out of the way, and no facilities. NB: Beware the timeshare reps as they are out to get you. We also experience very bad weather for the week, cold, wet, and very windy and this might have also tainted our view.... Read review

...you will get every drinks over here, but the local drink over here is Feni which is made from Cashewnuts. So if want to try something different then do try it, Goan feni is quite Famous. Hotels - There are good hotels to stay in goa to name a few which i know are Taj Exotica Goa Marriot Goa Resort The Leela Goa Oceanic Hotel and so on, there are other cheaper hotels as well. But the most cheapest place to stay are the rooms offered by the locals out there, they let the rooms in thier houses which compared to Hotels is much Cheaper if you planning to go on a long visit. The places which you should not miss are Candolim Beach - you should visit White Horse Shack you all will have a great time there. Baga Beach - This beach is most of the time crowded , this beach is beautifull, good restaurants and bars & nice people. Anjuna Market... Read review

..., 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 best hotels ive probably stayed in, better than Dubai I guess. This section will discuss the facilities of the hotel, the staff, the price, food and drinks, and general ease of getting around. Price: Price ranges can vary upon how many rooms you want, how many beds in each room and the duration of your stay. We stayed for four days, with 8 of us, sharing between four rooms. Each room included two single beds and cost us around £65 per night, we stayed in a standard room, however they also offer a balcony... Read review
