Baga, India-Goa Holiday Review - Paradise on Earth
Submitted by: Anthony
Date of travel: 09-October-2007
Paradise on Earth, Baga is the one true place that deserves that label because it really is paradise with its spotless beach and pristine waters. You will feel detached formt he rest of the world in Baga, it is a completely different world where you can forget about all your worries and enjoy a nice quite drink in a local bar or lay on the beach and lose yourself in a good book. If however you do miss the vibrant nightlife don’t worry, as Baga has got some really happening bars that will re-attach you with civilisation.

Miramar Beach, India-Goa Holiday Review - Loved every second of it!
Submitted by: James
Date of travel: 01-September-2007
I went further than Europe for the first time and decided to go to Miramar Beach because i had heard good things about it. I must say that my holiday to Goa exceeded all my expectations, the weather was fantastic and the beach was spotless with pristine water as far as the eye can see. i had the best sea-front view from my balcony room. The people were very friendly and contrary to what people think they are not all out to rip you off. If anyone is thinking of going there let me know and i will give you the details of some very friendly people i met there who will take good care of you.

Calangute, India-Goa Holiday Review - Goa on my mind!
Submitted by: Heyley
Date of travel: 01-September-2007
Just got back from two weeks in Goa and can't stop dreaming about it. It was a dream. Everything was so beautiful. Stayed on Calangute beach in a lovely freindly hotel. People in Goa are so helpful! There are always lots of like-minded adventurous travellers. Everyone has a different story to tell of how they got to Goa. We flew to Mumbai and then flew to Goa. We had return flights but decided to get the train back to Mumbai before flying back. A real experience. Try the masala milk! The shopping in Goa is amazing and the beaches are pristine and gorgeous. Seafood on tap and everything is SOOOO cheap! don't forget to barter!
