Answer 2

If you are considering a holiday at the Marriott Goa, then I urge you to book right now! This is a superb hotel, brilliant situation, excellent service and facilities - you will not want to go elsewhere in Goa after you have stayed here.

If you don't want to pay a supplement for a river view, ask for a first or second floor room in the North Wing - all the rooms there have a side view of the river and the passing river traffic.

The lobby bar is a wonderful place for your drink at sunset - but prices can be high. Ask to look at the drinks menu - there is a big price difference between some brands of spirits. Also be aware that the cocktail of the day can be very very pricey.

The breakfasts in the Waterfront Restaurant are superb. The staff are remarkably helpful, although at times the egg chef is so overwhelmed with orders that you can end up with a long wait until they arrive.

We decided that we would organise a trip to the Golden Triangle whilst we were staying at the hotel. We arranged this before we left England, using an Indian travel agent (Caper Travel) and ended up with a superb trip at a fraction of the price we would have paid if we had done it through our English travel agent. Be adventurous - you can do this trip for not a lot more than the side trips being offered by the rep. in the resort.

We ate at Edu's, Mom's Kitchen and Sea Pebble in the local area. We would recommend them all.

Really I cannot think of a single thing to criticize about this hotel. The staff invited all the long stay guests to a cocktail party one evening to find out what we really thought as they are anxious for feedback, and looking for ways to improve. We were delighted and hope we shall be able to return before long.
