Haven't been to Goa for a few years, but used to spend alot of time at boscoes shack at baga. Does anyone know if Cyril (squirrel) still has Flavours on the Baga road?

Hi boj4ngle5,
Flavours.....now thats a blast from the past!!! I believe Cyril is living abroad now and Flavours has been turned into a bar run by a Canadian guy called Mark.

Hi Bo,

Myomas is still running it's open mike night on Sundays and Dr Alan is still there too. Myomas has been refurbed quite a bit over the past couple of years so it's now a bigger venue.

Hi gff.

your post has brought back so many fantastic memories, I'm sure we must know a few of the same crowd. Sundays were good fun down at Myonas. Yes I remember Dr. Alan. Feel like booking a flight for the winter.! I guess so much has changed commercially over the past 4 years, I will have to think seriously about a return trip.
Bo.

We visited Bono's Shack in Candolim yesterday. Ive have never been in a shack thats so clean and so well looked after. The toilets are magnificent - two gents and two ladies and cleaner and more modern than most toilets in the restaurants you would visit in the evening!!! :shock:

Any way how are you ? miss looking over the balcony and seeing you and Polly with a cheery smile and wave, hope the rest of your hols went well.

Hi Walks I know where TGI shack is but didnt get a chance to try it out, but I will next time, so many shacks and not enough time ..... :lol:
I was in Bosco's shack. The shack itself was fine and food ok, but far too much hassle from sellers and the shack didnt do anything to stop this from happening, so put me off the shack a bit.

Got to agree with Candolimlover - Petes shack between Candolim and Calangute. No loud music, no wall to wall sunbeds, not too much hassle from hawkers. Good food. Excellent massage from Baby. Acceptable toilet! Pete and his family are lovely and it's been a joy watching the twins and their sister growing up.

For a complete contrast and to meet up with friends, we also use Big Banana at Baga. Good loo, good food and great staff. BBQ night (Wed) is great fun. Really missed seeing Fatso chase the fireworks this year though. :cry: I had a great 50th birthday party there last year, Francis and his staff did me proud and i will never forget that night. Lawrence who works there also provides a Taxi service - we always use him and his brother Luciano - nice blokes and safe drivers.

Oh that's good, because me and my boyfriend spent most of our holiday outside that shack and we had some great food, and the lads were great too!!

We had every intention of visiting the popular shacks mentioned on here (as I have been reading this site for about 6 months now), but we just happened to stop there on our first day...... then never wanted to go anywhere else!!

Lozza try Bono's shack at Candolim. You will never see a cleaner or more immaculate shack on any beach in all of Goa!!! Ive posted a picture of the toilets :lol: so people can see how clean they are also.
Reply
Lawrencio's is 1 or 2 shacks down from Bono's... and everytime I saw the sign I remembered what people said about the toilets!! :lol:

Although to be fair Lawrencio's toilet's are clean... especially in comparison to some I see!!!

We will try and venture out a bit next year....

I can remember the first time we stayed in Goa (Feb 1999); we stayed at the Whispering Palms. If we went out of the back of the hotel and walked down to the beach the first shack we came across was run by a dotty old woman. She frightened me, but the o.h. liked her, so we stayed there a few times.

We are thinking of going back to the Whispering Palms in November. Is she still there? Is Ganesh's shack near the hotel?
