Quote: Goa is a land of beaches, hot sun, and heady Feni (the local coconut or cashew-based drink). Sadly, the locals are their own biggest enemies! Too lethargic, they spoil the natural bounty of their land. Customer service seems to be observed best in its absence!

Overview

If you’re staying there for a week or so, it’s best you stay in the north, in Panjim, Calangute, or Baga Beach areas. In the south, Colva Beach area has the best options. Things you must do include: 1. A sunset walk 2. Explore Fontainha, the old Portuguese quarter of Panjim 3. Visit Old Goa's churches, including the one that houses St. Francis Xavier's body 4. Scuba diving in Bogmalo Beach 5. The Ancestral Home in Lutonim 6. Visit the Flea market on Wednesdays at Anjuna Beach 7. The heritage house of Menezes Braganza at Chandor 8.

The place is overrated. Neither the food nor the ambience was good. The one-man band that plays on Tuesdays was the saving grace. He is truly awesome. The range and quality of his music is excellent.

The rather 'private' beach at Cavelossim is a well-hidden fact in Goa. The best times are 7am and 5pm. The sunset is really great!
