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. …

Stayed in the Residency Fort for 2 nights in April. This hotel is excellent value for money in a very central location in Mumbai. The room, though not huge, was clean and adequate, the only problem was the a/c, noisy and could not be turned down, however with the humidity at the time this was not really a major drawback!
The staff were exceptionally friendly and efficient. Yhe breakfast was adequate.
The hotel location is a major plus, near the VT Station , Flora fountain and a short walk to the Taj and Gateway to India.Lots of street markets near by and an endless supply of taxis to take you anywhere you wanted to go.
Mumbai is a fascinating city and The Residency Fort is an excellent choice for exploring it. Will definitely return
