FAQs

Do meals come with the tariff?
No. This is a service apartment. A gas stove with two burners is available in the apartment which you can use to cook. You don't have to pay anything extra for using the gas cylinder. If you don't want to cook, no problem. There are a lot of affordable restaurants nearby. Here's a tip: The tastiest food is found at road side joints! It's cheap and hygienic too.

How can we spend our days while in Goa?
This is what most of our guests normally do:
Day 1: Resting in the apartment after a long journey, waking up and watching TV, going out for a walk in the neighborhood, buying groceries for the evening meal from neighborhood stores (Many of our guests like to prepare food themselves in the kitchen instead of eating out), and spending time on the beach taking part in water sports or simply wading through ankle deep water and then coming out and building sand castles or having chaat / pani puri / shev puri etc from the many stalls there or sitting in a beach shack listening to live music while filling the stomach.
Day 2: North Goa tour
Day 3: South Goa tour
Day 4: Shopping trip to Madgaon town in the morning and going to the beach in the evening.
Day 5: Departure in the morning

What is the best way to see Goa?
The public transport system (buses). Buses in Goa are different. Get into one and you'll see. You'll love the experience. This is the reason you'll see a lot of non Indians (Europeans) traveling in buses. Most buses run from 6AM to 7PM so be sure to remember this if you are going to travel far.
