Well moving on from my Gujarat experience, I still have many more places in India to review, as you can see a hell of a lot in 6 odd weeks. My next destination was one that I always wanted to go to, even as a child, however only experienced it in 2005, we went to the beautiful and tranquil place that is Goa. I had always heard such great stories about Goa, the people, the landscape, the whether etc, and my family had gone many times before I was born, and hearing them bragging about their experiences only made me more determined to visit it the next chance I got. This review, will focus about my time in Goa, I spent four days there and managed to see and do a hell of a lot, ill try giving some tips about what to see and do, the culture and lifestyle, some historical background and so forth, like many of my other reviews, so ENJOY.

History of Goa:

Goa, located in the western region of India, is the smallest state in India, in terms of area, and forth smallest in terms of population. Goa’s name was originally derived by the Portuguese who ruled it over 450 years ago, and translated means “Patch of tall grass”. Although Goa’s past can go back a thousand years, its most important period was during the late 1400’s when Vasco da Gama, a Portuguese explorer become the first foreigner to step foot their, and its Portuguese influence then made an ever lasting impact on the nation, with is religion, industrial architecture, sports and governing politics.

About 65% of the population is Hindu, however over 38% of the population are Roman Catholic, whom were influenced during the Portuguese control. This makes Goa on of the most densely populated Christian Populated region in India, however several other cities do follow the religion.

My Hotel:

Now there are so many hotels in Goa, largely due to the fact that it has become such a global tourist attraction in recent years. Hotels range from small hostels, to 1 – 5 star resorts, along the beach or nearby the beach. We at the Holiday Inn Goa resort, which was one of the best hotels Ive probably stayed in, better than Dubai I guess. This section will discuss the facilities of the hotel, the staff, the price, food and drinks, and general ease of getting around.

Price:

Price ranges can vary upon how many rooms you want, how many beds in each room and the duration of your stay.

We stayed for four days, with 8 of us, sharing between four rooms. Each room included two single beds and cost us around 65 per night,
