We stayed at the Somy in March this year, travelling with Thomas Cook. We had no option about paying for the a/c, we HAD to pay £50 otherwise they wouldn't let us check in. There was no option not to have a/c. These weren't in the rooms with a separate lounge either. We could have upgraded to one of these, if they had one available, for 1000 rupees per night. The rooms were fine for our needs. Breakfast was one of the better ones though, quite a pleasant breakfast area with quite good choices.

HI yummymummy

Thanks Polly50, i am sorry i think it was you who gave me some info about this hotel a few months ago, and not prettypollycat Forgive me if im wrong.

Neil - on the thomascook website i was quoted £482 per person departing on Mon 26th Jan, for 2 weeks.
This wasnt including coach transfer as they wanted 20pounds per person for this .

thanks Neil, i will have a look at that.. also lowcostbeds seem to be good for finding hotels.

It seems at the moment to get a direct flight to Goa without stopping at mumbai costs just a few pounds less than a package holiday to a 2star hotel in north Goa, so i think it makes more sense to get the package holiday
This will be my 7th time, i first went when i was a teenager in the early 90's. It will be my sons 4th time, and he is only 5. First took him when he was 7 months old, and i must admit he was better behaved at 7months old

He slept all the way through the flight, but now he mivers the passengers sitting next to us, asks them if they want to play cards with him

GOODLUCK

Thanks
