MTDC has the best location on the beach and the Konkani cottages .. at around 1400 bucks .. pepr day is the most reasonable option . with a nice cosy room .. and a bathtub .. too
ideal place for a weekend for 2 .. groups of guys . stay away .. theres nothing to do but roam around the beach .. hand in hand . and get cootchi coo ... the resort also has an ayurvedic massage place .. worth checkin out ... and tents tooo if u wnt to keep the tab to the minimum
Total travel time :
11pm bus from Vashi - reaches Ratnagiri at around 7 from here u wil have to take an autorickshaw to Ganpatipule . cost around 300 bucks one way .. pretty nice drive . takes around 1hr 15 mins ..
Try the fish . nice preparation
No booze served . but mild beer is available . Carry ur own hard liquor . it can get pretty nice in the nite . under the stars . but please refrain from making too much noise and disturbing anyone ...
:) Have a nice trip .. do visit the temple and take the blessings !!
cheers
