These vies are my personal , however they are written with much consideration and analysis. My experience when I went there the 3rd time were the same experiences I had this time; however, this time I am putting it up on a blog.
- Goa used to be a perfect travel destination in India around 15-20 years ago, upon researching the topic on google and talking to tourists foreign and national and talking to locals. Now the State Goa is much more like a dumping and hooliganing ground for the Desi(s).
- Goa is the new U. P. and Bihar. A lot more bhaiyas and biharis on the beach waltzing holding each other pinkeys.
- The business men from bike/car/travel agents and taxi drivers lie to you to get business and then take a 180 degree turn after receiving the payment.
- This was the 4th time that I've been to Goa and its attraction as a holiday destination is declining every year. Goa feels like a busy bustling city than a holiday place to relax.
- The nuisance at the beach like guys coming upto you a dozen time in a span of 10 minutes and saying "tatoo banwalo" "massage karvalo".
- Goa beaches seem like gorai beach and Juhu Beach.
- Very Very unhealthy food everywhere.
- Almost all bottled water are heavily filled with chlorine, you can almost taste the chlorine in the water. This sort of water gets you into ill-health and wonder how you got diabetes ?
- Restrictions on everything inside and outside of any hotel. Ex: Sir yahan good night allowed nahi hai, I was told when I complained about too many mosquito's in the room. Aldeias Santa Rita.
- If you are travelling by a taxi around goa. It's a total rip off, basically everything is a rip-off in goa .
- My god tito's; what a worse place to go to. Paid the entry fee and went in only to get such a horrible feeling of a cheap crowd and waste music that I was out from it in 10 seconds .
- Many restaurants would advertise sea food by the pictures on the retaurant walls and also on their menu. You get into the Hotel expecting see food, but voila there is no sea food, you feel like you 've been cheated.
- Goa is an incredibly racist state. The racism and hate is not towards the non-natives or foreigners but towards the fellow Indias. It is very very common sight for Indian hotels at almost every beach to deny rooms to Indians saying "Sorry all rooms are full" and almost at all restaurants the service is first given to Foreigners and then later if time permits your order would be taken. The whole restaurant staff is very cordial to foreginers and the same amount of courtesy, not-even 10% of it is extended to Indias.
Bottom Line is: Everytime I visit Goa, more has been deteriorated and that just adds up in the list above. Everytime I leave Goa with the feeling of 'what a horrible waste of time' it has been.
