Hi to you all and happy new year regular_smile

Just come back from Goa and wanted to tip you a bit. I have spend most of my time at Palolem beach so most of my tips will be for this area .

I stayed in a great resort named " Alessandra " , a beautiful beach hut resort on Palolem Beach.
Great huts with en suite bathrooms and hot water, amazing beach, lovely staff , great atmosphare
and very good music .

There are many good restaurants at Palolem .

For the best Indian food at the beach , go to " Mamus " at the end of the main street , left side .
I'm veg. so i ate only veg. food but i know from friends that the other dishes are very good .
Try the okra masala and dal balti . Tasty !!!

One of the best restaurant at Palolem it's Dropadi . It's at the gate of the beach , on the left side if
you are facing the sea . They have great dishes and very fresh food cos of changeover . I know that
they serve great fish and sea food .

For a very good coffee ( real coffee !! ) and great food , go to "coffee inn " . take the left at the end of the main street and walk like 20 meters . it's on the left side . they have real coffee machine .At evening time there is Suvlaki ( street greek food ) at the place .Very good !!! there is also Suvlaki at Agonda beach by the same guy .

For a romantic and quiet evening , go to " Green Park " restaurant . At the end south of Palolem , go up the hill and than go down to the small bay . The restaurant is there and they serve good food .
It's a very nice place to eat and sit .

The main thing to do at night is to go to " Cafe del mar " . Its a noizy place with a lot pf people .
sometimes you feel there in a meat market regular_smile

Good food you can find also at " The Banyan Tree " rrestaurant . Located at the north end of the beach .

Just after Palolem , at the south , there is a beach called Colomb beach . a beautiful beach but with no good acces to the water . There is a Tapas bar there . Great spanish food and good vibes .
Another good restaurant there is "Boom Shankar ". Good food and great view for sunset !!

Patnam beach is right after Colomb beach . A quiet beach with nice vibes .
There is a really good restaurant there called " Home " . all veg. but very good stuff . Try the food there .You will feel the difference ...

Agonda beach located 15 min. drive north of Palolem. A very long and beautifull beach .
There is a place there called " Turtle Lounge " . Visit there just for the style of the place !!
It's well designed and they serve good drinks and food .

I guess that's enough .... If anyone has questions , you are more than welcome regular_smile)

Have a great vacation !!
