Well, I don’t know where to start. After a lovely flight with Qatar airlines we arrived at The Club Palm Bay in Sri Lanka, both very tired, so didn’t pay to much attention to the journey to hotel. I was a bit taken aback when we got to reception and found it quite depressing & dark, but we were given a lovely greeting & a much appreciated, refreshing cocktail. …

overview of the destination
Ganapatipuleis a beach town in the Ratnagiri district. The MTDC resort is right at the beach but book in advance. There is a Ganapati temple at the beach. Avoid Tuesdays as the beach may get crowded. However the part of the beach in front of MTDC resort is always sparse & you can thoroughly enjoy yourself with your family. The neighouring Bhandarpule is also an excellent beach & you can sometimes have the whole beach to yourself. The sand & the clear blue waters keep changing colours at different time of the day. Do not forget to take your swimwear along. …

The hotel Mira is a very friendly hotel and the staff go out of their way to make sure that you have everything you need. The hotel was very clean & the rooms were cleaned every day. Although this was on a busy road, you really didn’t hear much noise at night. We loved it that much that we have booked up again this xmas for 4 weeks. Xmas last year was great - they held a fireworks display after our meal at night & they did the same on New Years eve, it was fantastic.

The Gangtok approach road from Bagdogra was very bad but the hill station was clean & the traffic was very orderly. The mg road in Gangtok should be emulated in all hill stations. The surrounding places like Temi, Rumtek etc & villages were clean & inviting. People were friendly & helpful. …

We went for a short excursion to Dahanu, Bordi & Jawhar from Pune. The route from Dahanu to Bordi is about 15 kms & is good & sceninc. You can go to Bordi two different ways. Bordi beach is a black sand beach & very sticky too. The sea is only one to two feet deep until almost half km out. Sunset was a good experience from the beach. …

NB: This review appears to be standard tourist information.
The Akshi beach is a beautiful white sand beach. Plenty of suru trees can be seen along the coast. The water is very clean & it is very safe for swimming. The beach is also a favourite among the birdwatchers & nature lovers.
The village is full of fishermen & it is not crowded at all. The beach at Akshi is a favourite tourist spot. One could lounge around the clear beaches & step into the warm & unruffled Arabian sea. …
