Cidade de Goa Panaji

A short guide to Panaji

Panaji (Panjim), situated on the southern banks of the Mandovi River, is the capital of Goa. Panaji is one of the busiest towns in Goa. Over the years, it has developed into a vibrant city bustling with commercial and tourism activities. The town has preserved its Portuguese heritage considerably well. It has beautiful, red-roofed houses with stucco walls built in Latin style, many with well-appointed gardens. The capital city is dotted with places worth seeing. The Church Square, or Municipal Garden featuring the Church of Our Lady of Immaculate Conception, is the central point of Panaji. Other notable landmarks and tourist interests include the Fontainhas area, the Goa State Museum, the Goa Velha (location for the famous Procession of the Saints at St. Andrew's Church), Idalcao Palace, and Institute Menezes Braganza. Miramar Beach is roughly 3 km from Panaji.

Cidade de Goa 2009.03.03
Recommended Trip type: All Others "Undecided on return trip"

Reviewed by T of Derby UK on Mar 3, 2009

Location was lovely and peacefull our delux room 102 which was probably one of the best rooms with beach access and in easy reach of all facilities. Pool and outside areas were kept immaculate, the staff were wonderfull. The hotel itself was a bit tired looking.probably 3*+. There were people there with tour operators which were All Inclusive also there were people around the pools which were NOT actually staying at the hotel and just using the facilities which was very inconvienient as deck chairs seemed to be a problem because towels were placed on most of them very early. Also there were groups of business men whom like to stare. The beach was fine and cleaned at least twice a day the best thing about it was it was private with no beggars. Food was just ok with nothing spectacular on the menu even the Lobster was pretty plain and expensive. Wine was equiv to £18 a bottle that was just regular chardonnay. Average cost of meals for 2 with wine and G&T's was about £40-£50. Which made the All Inclusive people quite envyable. Over all not a bad hotel but with a very mixed market., probably be better if they decided which was the best market. Tourism or Business

Not recommended Trip type: Romance "Inconvenient Location Not Worth the Price"

Reviewed by Christine of New York on Feb 1, 2009

Not walking distance to any sites or other restaurants. Onsite hotel car service expensive to go to any neighboring towns. Small ants were in the room and in the main hotel areas as well. Bathtub looked dirty, although there was a seperate shower which seemed clean. Two out of four of our pillows had some dirt marks on them suggesting they hadn't been washed? Staff was not very friendly. Pool and beach access was great and there were daily activities provided (although they didnt occur on-time). The American Breakfast wasn't very good but I would recommend the Indian breakfast.
