Choosing a Hotel/Resort in Goa, India
Internet is the best place to look for deals on places to stay in Goa and I have made my decision after going through all the deals I found online.
Here are some places I recommend looking at:
Indian Flight/Hotel Booking Portals:
Look for special offers on these sites:
Look for traveler hotel reviews on:
I really cannot imagine planning any trip without Trip Advisor.
Coming back to my choice, we decided on the beach resort ’Cidade de Goa’. I did take a look at all the special deals offered by the travel portals listed above, but decided upon taking a special off-season package offered by the resort itself. It includes a Classic Room (their second best; we did not take the deluxe as it is on ground level which would pose a problem with my lively 2-year old), airport transfers by a/c car, a half-day sightseeing tour including a spice plantation tour with lunch, a cruise on river Mandovi with live entertainment and a lot of discounts and freebies on in-house services. The resort also provides baby-sitting services and a special playroom for kids. I hope to enjoy it out there with Cidade de Goa!
