Harshal's 3 days trip to Goa

The overall trip was good. However inspite of intimating that we would be reaching early at the hotel and to give early check in for atleast one room we were made to wait for atleast 3 hrs. I feel that should be taken into consideration. The taxi driver didn't inform us that one of the locations were to close by 5 pm and hence missed the sightseeing as it was already closed, which was another disappointment. Anyways we built good memories out of our vacation.

Harshal Khobragade Belgaum

Karthi's 5 days trip to Goa

Overall the trip was good. Below were some points which definitely required improvements. 1. Hotel - They have changed the room in-between from cottage to Executive room. This is not as per the plan. We have to repack everything and shift the things. 2. The common pickup and drop bus for the Cruise and water sports activities is not at all proper. There is no proper communication to the commuters about where they have to get down and where they have to present for pickup. I went on a Bus for Cruise dinner, where many people where there and most of them were not aware like where they have to get down as there seems to be multiple cruise stops. Driver also not informing properly. After many enquired about the stopping, he has checked the list and dropped in between. Then we walked around 500 meters again to the original stop. 3. The water sports pickup and drop also same issue. We were picked by Bus, in-between the person shifted us to CAB. The CAB person dropped us in the location and for pickup he asked to come where the he has dropped. But when we returned from the watersports activity, we didn't see any CAB in that location. Also, no one informed us about where we have to go for the proper pickup. Then we have called the person who arranged and he directed us to a BUS stand where the actual pickup bus was there. [Additionally, to be noted there is no seats available in the BUS. The BUS is too crowded and many people were standing completely till their stops comes.] 4. The water sports activities mentioned and agreed in the plan is not all what we experienced. 1. The water sports cruise was too crowded with lot of people in groups. 2. They have given priority for the groups and we were forced to wait for longer time. 3. The water sports activities is a big disappointment. Because out of the 6 activities mentioned, we were allowed for only 3. That too with very long waiting time and the activity also very short near to the cruise boat. We noticed that person has to give some extra amount to the persons who is conducting these activities in-order to take us for a bit long ride.
