"We had a great 6 day stay, excellent place and great host. The place is brand new, just a couple of months old. It would have been great to have more bottled water in the room as we had to refill downstairs. And some handrails as my parents (in their 80s) found it tricky at times. Small things."

Try out beaches in the South and the North. It takes one and a half hour to visit the beaches in the North and an hour to the South. A private taxi costs around INR 3,000 a day and worth it.

3/5 - Okay

The Portuguese area is cute, and the churches are quite nice, but if you're a foodie, I wouldn't consider it a hotspot for great dining spots. There are a few that are standouts, though, like Black Sheep Bistro and Fisherman's Wharf.
