En Vacances!






One of the reasons we love Goa, and in particular the Taj Exotica is the sheer peacefulness and relaxation. 



The hotel is set in beautifully kept grounds which are passionately cared for by an army of friendly staff. There are ample sun beds with staff on hand to offer towels , chilled water and water melon. 
The pool is usually deserted as is the beach which gently slopes into the warm sea. 



The beach today
And the food is too our taste, especially with Karen a non meat eater. Each day the fish is caught and includes Lobster, Snapper, Prawns, King fish, crabs to name but a few. Cooked as you like, our favourites being  on the bbq or in the Tandori oven.

There are endless curries to suit all tastes, as hot as you like (or not). 

Star fish
A large kingfisher will set you back 70 Rupees (a UK Pound) and a bottle of Indian wine, which really is good stuff including Sauvignon & Viognier at 675 Rupees, abt nine Pounds. The perfect time to visit is November to end of March .
