Which area? Help needed

Hello!

I'm booking a holiday for my parents to Goa for 2 weeks in November/December.

I'm really not sure which area to look at for them. They would like a 4* or above hotel, where there are a few local restaurants within a safe and pleasant walk, without being overrun with English style bars/restaurants.

I looked at the Goa Marriott in Miramar?

Thanks in advance!

Lisa

Have a look at The Holiday Inn Mobor if you have any questions on the area just ask. Or for photo's of the area I have posted a couple of album's of our last couple of trips on http://www.flickr.com/photos/goanjock/ we didn't stay at the Holiday Inn though have in the past (and also for our honeymoon) but The Haathi Mahal and Luisa By The Sea are in the same area

The Marriot is a nice hotel - but instead of being overrun by English bars etc, you'll be overrun by Russian tourists. :shock:

There's not much in the area of the hotel either; it means a short expensive taxi ride into the centre, or a fair walk in the heat.

I would agree with Tightjock or Aaronds suggestions.

From the description you have given Lisa, I would say Cavelossim would make a lovely base for your parents. There isnt a sports bar/ English bar in site, just wonderful restaurants in abundance. The beach there is also wonderful with plenty of shacks to visit during the day.

Bob's Inn is near the top of the map - it has a reputation you know. :wink:

Quincy's Corner is a shack you should try.

Viva Goa slightly down from Bob's Inn.

This is where "Lord Lucan" was meant to drink.

On Candolim to Calangute road on right hand side of road going towards Calangute.

I'll try to be careful and avoid any libel issues. :lol:

Bob's Inn was a favourite hang out for many of the early european visitors to Goa, many of whom never went home and stayed in the area to this day. :lol:
