Leela, Goa

The tariff included, pickup + drop from airport & bf. We just hired a cab and went to Leela. It was a long drive, but we had a sweet driver, who kept telling us lots of stories. We were tired by the time we reached and headed out for lunch at "The restaurant" at Leela. The spread was lovely. The beach and pool was fantastic. Little one had an amazing time at the play area. The room again at Leela was big. We had booked the premier conservatory room. The lagoon view from the room was to die for. We had dinner at "Riverside", the italian restaurant at Leela. It was unfortunate that we couldn't quite enjoy our meal, since the little was cranky and just slept midway.

What I didn't quite like about Leela was the corridor leading to our room was always wet and slippery. It was not raining all the time. 15 minutes probably every 3 hours. When I stay at Leela, I expect them to mop the floor but probably I have very high expectation. 

The next day again was beach, pool and it was time to check out. Since our flight was only in the evening at 5, we decided to head out for lunch before going to the airport. We went to this place called "Fisherman's Wharf" which was about 5 minute walk. Lovely food and little one had a nice play area again to entertain himself. When we came back by 2:30, they had a BMW waiting to drop us at the airport. The drive back was so smooth, that all of us slept. And the little one behaved so well in the flight back, that I was surprised!!! 

The trip was a wonderful one and it's a place that I want to go back again and explore. But to actually explore Goa, one needs to stay at North Goa. That is where one can experience the real essence of Goa.
