Its 21st December today and already its so cold out here in Delhi. I am wondering how much temperature will gonna drop further around Christmas and New Year. Though I like winters but still feel like going at some warmer place. Goa is a perfect choice these days as there will be a nice weather over there. Moreover Christmas and New Year is coming, so all the party lovers will gonna hit that place. One must choose a right hotel and bookings should be done well in advance so that any last time rush can be avoided. I remember my vacations over there in 2010. I have chosen Goa as my honeymoon destination as it was matching to my budget. I have never seen a sea/sea beach earlier so it was my first experience and I was very excited.
I have chosen a hotel "Whispering Palm Beach Resort" after thorough research. I considered following factors while choosing this hotel.
1. Distance from Beach
2. Price
3. Facilities
4. Room Size
5. Location
6. Meals
On all these 6 factors, I found this hotel to be perfect. I checked its location on Google Maps and found that it is only few meters away from one of the beach at Candolim. I checked the room's images on its website and found them very neat and clean and well maintained. For price, I compared its prices at different websites like makemytrip.com, yatra.com, etc. But after checking its price, I decided to talk to them directly over phone. There is one Mr. A***l (dont want to take the name as it will be a privacy issue) who is in sales department came up with a excellent deal. After some negotiation, I confirmed my bookings.
It was a nice flight without any hiccups and after reaching Goa Airport, I saw a person holding my name tag in his hands. It was a nice ride in Toyota Innova car and we reached hotel well in time. They welcomed us with a drink and we were sitting on a sofa. A lady came to me and told me that all the rooms are full and they will provide me a upgraded room in a different hotel. I agreed to it and boy, they have provide me a superb room. Though we stayed there for two days and came back to Whispering Palm Beach where they have provided me equally great room. Moreover, I found a beach to be just a walking distance from a hotel. There was swimming pool in the hotel and every evening there is some cultural event going on in a hotel area around swimming pool. One will love the performances by some great artists/groups and enjoy the dinner side by side. Food was excellent and there was a buffet system where you can fill your tummy with all the delicacies. You can find fitness and spa facilities as well in the hotel. They have provided me one candle light dinner which I enjoyed with my wife.
I stayed there for three days and I loved my stay. I have recommended this hotel to few of my friends who recently got married and they too stayed over there. I must say do plan your vacations and book your hotels well in advance. I was lucky to get the hotel which was one of the best in Goa.
