Hiya yummymummy - we've been to Goa for last 2 years and as due to go in Jan but because of this and that [not many shacks open last Nov, visa's etc] we decided on Mexico in Feb - there's a good site called http://www.riubambu.com and you'll get all kinds of info on there, also TA

Poor old Goa, it looks like everyone is deserting it this year, :(
But even if we were to go, we would not be able to relax as we have in previous years, so it would not be much of a holiday.

We are hoping to change our holiday over tomorrow, from Goa on the 3rd of January to Sandos Caracol Beach Resort & Spa. Fingers crossed the availabilty is there.

Hi Mazzy

Like Nicola, we are Goa regulars as well and were due to go in March next year but we decided last week to change and are now going to the Dominican Republc instead, quite excited to be honest as never visited the DR before, so something new to look forward to. Good luck with your booking hope you manage to get it changed.

We are going to Mexico !!

We have changed our holiday over from Goa to Sandos Caracol Beach Resort and Spa. Cost a little bit more, but then it is All Inclusive, and I am actually quite excited about going back to Mexico again, albeit a different part.

Still a bit sad we are not going to Goa, but there is always next year when hopefully things will not be so risky.

Bring on the tequila !! :cheers

The weather is pretty even year round in Cancun, in the 80's and plenty warm enough for swimming and sunbathing. They don't get a winter as we know it, they only have a wet and a dry season and you will be in 'the dry'. The best excursion I can think of for kids is the dolphin experiences, although there are some age restrictions as to participation. Have a look at http://www.dolphindiscovery.com

It cost me £70 to change my holiday so £120 seems a bit steep :yikes

That seems very expensive. We booked Goa with First Choice to go on the 3rd of Jan. They said that it was £40 per person up to 29 days before, then £50 per person up to 2 weeks before, and within the 2 weeks, there would be nothing they could do.

I still think the change over free is money for old rope though !!!

We were just about to do our Indian visa's at £30 + postage each, so in a way £40 to change was no more.

We changed ours from goa to DR just over a week ago and Thompson's charged us £70. Looks like they will be making a lot of extra money with the Goa Situation.
