Lagoa Azul Resort – Arpora – Goa
Just back after two weeks at the Lagoa Azul, a fairly short review here.
Room excellent, large, & really clean. Hot water & power supply reliability somewhat variable – but this is India, no big problem. Food – good quality & a decent menu. Staff attentive, all very helpful & friendly. There are two decent sized swimming pools, & the atmosphere is quiet rather than lively.
The most important big and factor for me about this hotel is it’s location. ItÂ’s at the end of a really quiet country road in Arpora, far away from the giant rubbish tips, noisy, beach crowds & hassle, thousands of crazy tourists riding motorbikes dangerously, & all the other horrible things usually associated with North Goa.
The hotel runs a regular (free of charge) shuttle to the coast if you want it, & there are half a dozen good restaurants within just about five minutes walk from the hotel. (Including Spice Oven –an excellent place!)
And itÂ’s wonderful on a hot sunny afternoon to sit on the hotel raised public terrace, near one of the pools (and bar), looking out over the local lake & seeing the birdlife of Arpora.
A great holiday –package I got home & tried to immediately book again for winter 2012/2013.
I was really disappointed to find that Thomson, First Choice, Thomas Cook, & Cosmos no longer offer this hotel!
IÂ’’ve no idea why, I found it excellent. Hopefully instead I’Â’ll be able to do an independent booking for next year.
