Booked !

Well we missed out on a very good price with Etihad flights from Manchester, and not too confident of any other offers coming up so having a browse round, Purple Travel came up with a decent(ish) package price for the Sunset Hotel in Candolim for £1360 x 2 weeks for 2, bed and breakfast in March.
We couldn't get a good price with flights last season and ended up paying £1300 for 2 + the cost of Greenpeace apartments on top so I suppose this deal is better than last year so well happy, and can't wait for 2014 to come round.
We have stayed at the Sunset 4 times in the past, so know it really well, and it's nearer the beach.
Hope all the regulars can get some sort of decent price and get back out there, just the over priced visas to sort now..

Re: Booked !

Well Done Hun. I know how long your better half has been looking. Just glad you going back and i think a trip to that pub where you have your own beer pump is called for :cheers

. I think for two weeks a package deal is usually the best.Direct flights and a decent hotel good price you have done well. Looking forward to another good night at Wok N Roll

Re: Booked !

Somewhere to stay within budget wouldn't have been a problem as we were going back for a 3rd stay at Greenpeace apartments(£150 for 2 weeks) - like a bit more space rather than a room, it's the flights that are bumping things up more than the cost of flights/apartments last season, so yeah a good choice by us for once..

Re: Booked !

That's another one we will go back to Maz, along with the rest.. If we do Panjim again for a night out, won't bother with the boat cruise after last time, no organisation,too manic,no parking and crappy road works, lets hit a few bars and a good restaurant ?

Re: Booked !

Seems like a good deal, Spike. Glad you're sorted out.

We booked Turkish Airways to Mumbai and an Air India connection to Goa but we're then going on to Thailand for a wedding in March.

Sounds like you have a few good nights lined up! Wok and Roll will definitely be on our itinerary, too!

Just the hassle and expense of visas now!

Re: Booked !

Cheers Roma, fair bit of traveling for you ! Wok and Roll seemed to be getting all the rave reviews last season - tried it, loved it and will be back next year.
Too early to mention visas.. but can everyone keep a look out for any info about further increases, we all know what they are like on surprising us..
