Ever since my first visit to India and in particular to Goa, I fell in love with this place. The Goan people are kind and always welcoming. Their hospitality is beyond compare with any others. And what can I say about the beaches! Long, white sandy beaches where you can have a beach to yourself, if you so desired. Most of the hotels are geared towards the European visitors with almost all of the items on the menus that would appeal to them... but.. hey, why waste your time in the big hotel restaurants when you can go out, eat at the smaller road-side cafes/dhabas and taste the real Goan food, sites and smells. For that great family holiday, for that romantic honeymoon or even fun with friends, Goa is the place to be. If you really want to experience the Goan hospitality at its best then go there during Christmas, you will want to go there every year after that!
