Holiday Inn Resort

We first went to Goa in 2005 and stayed at the Marriot in Panjim, we decided to go again in march 2007 for our 25th and decided to go further south after vising on our previous trip. We decided on the holiday inn and the choice proved to be the right one. The hotel is right on the beach the food is fantastic and the staff are all really nice. book with confidence.
we liked it that much we bought a time share ! and that just is not me :)
cant wait till dec 08

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time at this resort. We were really taken aback by not only the friendliness of the staff, but the cleanliness and overall ambience. It is in a perfect location with the beach just a minute's walk away. The rooms had excellent air-conditioning and the shower was nice and powerful. The only thing that let the resort down was the hotel shop which sold items with a mark up of about 200% on the actual Indian RRP and the staff were not particularly friendly.
So as long as you avoid the shop, you will have a glorious time!

Fourth visit to Goa, second time at Holiday Inn. We had a Deluxe Room very large, clean nice view, friendly staff, fresh flower every couple of days. On my birthday came back to find a lovely cake in room - nice surprise.
The spa was a great place to visit, Indian head massage a must. It was nice to have the choice to stay by pool or on grass under the trees or go down to the beach. Betty’s beach shades is a really good place to spend the day just on beach at the end of hotel gardens. Lots of things going on in and around hotel in evening if you don’t want to go out, but eating out in Goa is a joy: Betty’s across road, Fishermans wharf and down in Cavealossim: The Jazz Inn, River view, Mikes place, Gaffinois, the Goan village - all really nice, very friendly and good fun.
Shopping in all the local shops is another fun time; all the shop keepers have a good sense of humour and love a chat. Haggle to your hearts content; you can pick up some really nice items and a load of old tat as well.
Most trips can be arranged with the taxi drivers by the gate. We have done loads over the year’s - waterfall good, Anjuna market great day but very hot, take lots of breaks. River trips with Betty’s great value. Can’t wait for next visit.

This hotel had everything if you want a quiet holiday. The rooms are cleaned every day, the staff will bend over backwards to help you nothing is too much trouble for them to do, and they are very friendly, love children. There is some form of entertainment every day. We went all inclusive; my partner has a gluten allergy and she found plenty of things that she could eat.
The fish bar has a barbeque once a week which you pay for but if all-inclusive then you get 25% discount and all local drinks are free. We will be going back in the near future.

Both my partner and myself really felt special on this holiday the staff could not do enough for you.
The rooms were cleaned every day the air conditioning was turned on while you were out to dinner. My partner has a wheat/gluten allergy and she found that she could almost eat everything that was put out.
The entertainment was adequate the beach only 250 yards away the fish bar had a bar-b-cue once a week which you have to pay for but if you’re all inclusive you will get 25% discount and all the local drinks were free. If you like Brandy try the honey bee.
We certainly will be going back in the near future.

Having spent two weeks at the Holiday Inn hotel, myself and my partner were very impressed by the layout of the grounds.
The service from all the staff was exceptional, we were welcomed by everyone with good morning or whatever time of day it was. Nothing was too much for the staff to do.
We particularly enjoyed the fish bar. We would recommend this hotel to anyone going to Goa for a holiday. We shall be going back in the future.

Fantastic holiday in Goa! My husband and i loved it. I would recommend all inclusive as eating out is limited.
The Holiday inn was great, very clean and the staff lovely. The bar on the beach was perfect and you have to try the cocktails!
Stick to the traditional Indian food as they know that best. If you don’t like curry it may not be ideal for you!
A great holiday, we will definitely be going back.
