We have just returned from our first holiday to Goa and want to write an honest review. We read a lot about Goa on this forum before we went and have to say that we found there to be some exaggerations (even when we got there people we met who went regularly completely exaggerated) mostly about how little some things cost.

We wish to start however by saying we had a fantastic time and really loved the place.

We are not planning to return every year as so many people do - there is a big wide world out there to be seen! - but we would go again for some cheap sunshine over European destinations.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
If you have not been before, there is a lot of litter on the sides of the road and you do witness a degree of poverty. However, it does not take long to see past that and really enjoy the place.
