I will say it for you, after I've explained to them that the reason for you not being thier is because " I've pinched your bloody rooms"

I should jolly well think so too!

And don't forget to say 'hello' to the head gardener too.
He usually gives me a tour of the garden to show me what he's done since we were there last time.

dee, if you are after a bargain, jewel in the crown are worth a try.....if you can handle the monarch flight (cramped ...but quick ). look out for free premium cabin upgrades. I would ask questions of the hotels they offer on this forum before you finalise any booking...be wary of 'all inclusive'. food and drink are relatively very cheap and eating out is a great pleasure in goa.
