Yoga holiday in Goa, independent reviews
 Reviewed 6 Apr 2008 by Anne Wycherley |  |
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Bathing in my outdoor bathroom under the full moon to the sound of tropical birds and haunting music from a nearby temple.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Be aware that in the event of a freak tropical rainstorm (which was my experience), the tents are not waterproofed. We were told this weather was absolutely exceptional.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?
Yes. The local staff at the hotel (who could not have been more wonderful) are extremely well cared for and treated with great dignity. I would say bravo to Phil and Juliet who have gone to great lengths in order to minimize the negative effects on the environment of having so many guests to stay in their beautiful hotel. The composting toilets were just fine and so easy to use. I personally opted to use the earthenware water pots to bathe in the evening to use less water and wouldn't have missed those experiences for the world. It was magical.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
If you are looking for peace and tranquillity coupled with a wish to feel closer to the earth this is the place for you. The concept is marvellous and the design of the tents and bathrooms is excellent. The food is delicious and you are liable to meet delightful and interesting people during your stay here.
