We've been to Goa a couple of times about 5 years ago, lack of money the reason for not returning sooner. Planning on going back mid Nov 2009. Previously stayed at Marina Dourada , LOVED it. Bank Mgr tell us we can't afford there this year. Read thru Hotel Reviews and so far Sunset Beach Hotel in Candolim with Thomas Cook Tropical Shores looks favorite. (Opinions??) Are we best to book ASAP or do ppl reckon we will get a much better deal leaving it to the last minute? Has Baga Beach changed very much over the past 5 yrs? Have heard tales of Candy Flosss sold on the beach and Jet skis and other water "Sports" happenin all day long.We remember and love the main activities on the beach as chatting to "Mama" while she sorted out a coconut or pineapple and the beach sellers asking us to hide their wares as the police came along, Is it all so different Loved wandering down to Leilas for croissant,jam and coffee for leisurely breakfast, are we gonna be shocked/disappointed??
We did think of Flight only and sort accomodation once out there BUT for 2 weeks doesn't seem to make economic sense, any views?? We used to use the same taxi driver (Sergio) who would meet us at the Airport and from then on throughout the Holidays, do other Forum Users think this is still a good idea or is it unnecessary/ not a good idea.
I know we have started with loads of questions, (SORRY) but any other views re for eg what Trips are currently worth while and where best to book (out there OR through the Rep) ???
Guess you can all see we are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited,afraid this is unlikely to be the last post from us,hope to hear from you all soon
