Are meals included in the tariff?
No. A gas stove with two burners is available in each apartment and villa which you can use to cook by getting food stuff from the neighborhood market. You don't have to pay anything extra for using the gas cylinder. If you don't want to cook, no problem. There are lots of affordable restaurants nearby. Here's a tip (for those who don't care for ambiance): The tastiest food is found at road side joints! It's cheap and hygienic too.
Will we get access to a swimming pool ?
No. Take a bath at the beach. The salty water will do a lot of good to your body. Seriously.
Are there geysers in all bathrooms?
No. Some have geysers while others get water heated through solar panels placed on the roof. All properties have a big handi (vessel) in the kitchen to heat water to take a hot bath.
Do we have to get sheets to keep us warm at night?
You don't. You'll be given a sheet which you can pull over your body when you sleep at night.
How often are the bedsheets changed?
The bedsheets and pillow cases are changed and the floor scrubbed twice a week. So if you come on a vacation for 3 nights, you'll get fresh sheets on the day you come and they'll not be changed throughout the duration of your stay.
If you book for 4 to 7 nights, you'll be entitled to one change of linen, scrubbing of the floor, and cleaning of the bathrooms.
Here's a tip to keep the service apartment / villa clean: You can leave footwear at the door and wipe feet to the door mat after coming back from the beach so grains of sand are left outside the apartment. Every apartment / villa has a broom, a pan and a dustbin which you can use when required.
Do you provide toiletries?
We provide toilet rolls. Please bring your own soap, tooth brush, toothpaste, deo, mouthwash, shampoo, talcum powder, razor, shaving cream, after shave lotion, skin cream, towel etc.
How can we spend our days while in Goa?
This is what most of our guests normally do (if they stay for 4 nights):
Day 1: Resting in the apartment after a long journey, waking up and watching TV, going out for a walk in the neighborhood, buying groceries for the evening meal from neighborhood stores (Many of our guests like to prepare food themselves in the kitchen instead of eating out), and spending time on the beach taking part in water sports or simply wading through ankle deep water and then coming out and building sand castles or having chaat / pani puri / shev puri etc from the many stalls there or sitting in a beach shack listening to live music while filling the stomach.
Day 2: North Goa tour
Day 3: South Goa tour
Day 4: Shopping trip to Mapusa town in the morning and going to the beach in the evening.
Day 5: Departure in the morning
