We just visited tarkarli beach and enjoyed the stay. there are many hotels but mtdc has the best location little expensive though. Malwani food is very good, vegetarians please try amboli chatni, its delicious.
backwaters are very nice and serene. The beach is better than Goa beach.but few problems no shacks on the beach to unwind only mtdc has few shacks. Malwani food is very nice but that is the only option available.
Well goa is nice but goans have become too cocky now, they think they own everything in Goa, all tourists have to obey to their diktats. Goa transport is huge problem, taxi unions in Goa force tourists and the hotel to shell ridiculous amount for small distance. Tarkarli and malwan is much better option than Goa better value for money.
We enjoyed tarkarli and looking forward to another trip next year soon.
