1st time in Goa, 8 years ago. 1st day on beach at shack. "S'cuse me, where's the toilets?" Reply: "Behind the bush madam!" After walking round the bush at the back looking for the toilet building for half an hour. Me to passer by, "S'cuse me where's the toilets?". Reply: The bush madam, the bush!" Ding Dong the penny dropped so to speak!!

Oh, wonderful Goa, been back every year since!!

Spending a Penny

Hi

Just wondering where other people go when needing to spend a penny, when out & about (gentlemen careful with your answers). When I say just wodering, that was when we were in Goa the other week.

We enjoy walking a lot & I usualy nip into a hotel that I recognise ie Highland Beach, Nizmar etc. However, when in Panjim or Mapusa etc haven't got a clue where to go.

Is it ok, to just walk in restaurants, bars etc? Also, if just walking on the beach is it OK to use one that belongs to a beach shack, without having to buy anything (don't want this to sound mean).

Hope this thread doesn't offend anyone, but thought I'd ask as were returning in March, so want to be prepared.

Mapusa has public toilets at the bus station, not as good as the sea though.

Never had any probs going in bars/cafes etc in Panjim,just be polite and ask,on your way out offer 10rps as a gesture/thankyou. At Ganesh shack Candolim you see the odd few beach walkers just walk in to the toilets without asking - very annoying.
There are some public toilets in Panjim for men only,near to one of the parks - these absolutly stink but when you have to go.....

hi
there was a thread on this forum about a year ago 'good toilet guide' or something like that with loads of hints & tips & places for a decent loo in & around calangute/candolim. do a search & im sure you'll find it or maybe fiona mod can do a link for you. im not too sure on panjim or mapusa though, im sure most hotels wouldnt object its only seems to be here in the uk that bars & places get a bit sniffy about non patrons using their facilities.
( good loo info is always very important info for us girls!!!!! )

I know Fiona. Its just that Goa and good toilets are something that just dont go hand in hand :lol:

A lot of the beach shacks have dreadful toilets but most of the restaurants and eating places are of a much higher standard (well in a Goan kind of way) :roll:

Men dont pay any attention because all they have to do is unzip and point, the ladies have to hover and keep their clothes of the floor if dirty and wet. Believe me the toilets in Goa nowadays are a lot better than 10 years ago. then every other one was one with a hole in the ground.. Try being ladylike when using one of those!!

Going back to the early '90s the shacks on the beach had no toilets whatsoever ~ it was either the sea or the shrubs !!! Brings back memories :roll:

After Seven has just renovated the toilets - they are incredible now. Tastefully done and very clean at all times. And loads of attention to detail, there's a bench in the Ladies, with mags - Cosmo (no less!)

and two of everything! Two cubicles, two washbasins, two bins... at last someone who does not think that ladies are a minority!

After 7 has always had nice toilets, even before the renovation (when it was After 8 also). Unfortunately, this is the minority in Goa. As the previous person said, also nice toilets at Molly Malones as well.
