We chose Rahul's cookery class after seeing the reviews and are glad we did! We were able to be squeezed in as a group of 6 between two classes as we had a short time in Palolem, the class was fun, relaxed and we learned a lot - we will definitely be recreating the recipes we learnt at home

We visited Palolem on 7th june,2019 and it was indeed a worth it experience.This place gives you the vibe of real Goa,even though the hubbub around is pretty much less than in north Goa.The journey greets you with mesmerising views of South Goa and Portugese architecture.À

Cola beach is a remote beach present in cancona village of Goa which gives you a treat to your eyes that is beyond words. This place not only exhibit a Aqua Blue serene beach with coconut tress on its coast but also a green lagoon where you can enjoy swimming!! Cola beach is not a easy place to reach and so has preserved its natural beauty in these many years. You need to trek about 4km to reach this beauty. And if have good driving skills, you can even drive a scooter to this place. It is steep descend with no paved path full of mud. We visited this place during raining season and found quite risky to drive then. The path was little slippery, and so we decided to trek half way to beach. If you happen to trek to the beach, you will witness few hidden gems on the way which is usually missed when on bike . On the way to the beach we encountered a small part of lagoon some one km just before it meets the ocean. The place is scheduled with no tourist or locals near it. You can hear the flow of water and rustling of leaves very clearly here I Weescended near the shallow water body and enjoyed there for almost an hour in the fresh clean water. There was one beach hut on the opposite end of the lagoon where we saw a foreigner meditating with OM mantra in background. About 20 min walk from this place we reached cola beach which withholds one of the most beautiful beach South Goa has to offer you. One end of this beach offers you a endless view of the sea blue coast with no sign of human intervention in between and the other end gives you a glimpse of lagoon made of green water. This perfect blend of salt and sweet water is a perfect dream destination you could ever image. The lagoon of green water is encircled with lush green palm trees behind it which darkens with the depth of jungle. Where to stay : 1) Blue lagoon Resort is one of the best budget options to stay here. They have both beach facing cottages and lagoon facing huts and I can't score anyone of them with more points. Both of them have their own beauty. Estimated cost : Rs 1500-3000 2) Other option is to stay in Dwarka Eco Beach Resort which has equally good and sea view cottages. Estimated cost : Rs 7000-10000 The restaurant on the beach is also owned by Blue Lagoon Resort where you can try some sea food and drinks .

I have come to Goa for the last countless times but i have always inadverntly missed out visiting this lovely Galjibaga Beach.So we decided to make amends this time & arranged for one visit this time by an auto which takes about half an hour. On reaching there we found the beach more or less deserted except for some odd tourists.There were crabs of all sizes & it being a Turtle breeding ground saw some with their eggs. The beach is neat & clean with a small rough rocky stretch behind .There is a bar & an eating place & you have to rent out an umbrella so its better to bring along with you a basket of eats & drinks & an umbrella,which we did.

Had such a fun night dancing away - music was great! Drinks are quite expensive compared to the rest of Patnem and I’m not convinced they used filtered water for the Ice cubes. Easily accessible via Tuk Tuk and there were some waiting at 5:30am to take us home too. The only real negative was the headphones seemed quite flimsy. Mine broke within a few minutes and had to be replaced and the staff got quite rude with us trying to charge me £30 for a replacement! Later on my friends also broke so I think this is something that needs to be addressed especially if they want to charge people when they are just using them normally! However had such a fun night/morning have still given 5 stars - a must when staying in south Goa x
