Mahesh's 4 days trip to Goa

It was going good but there lack of communication between agent and cab vendor where they are not agreeing to visit places which were travelling agent share with us. However later when I complaint about it then they took almost entire for discussion and then agree around 3 PM and that time it was too late to cover places and return back by 6 PM. They spoiled few of the places and in other words, pls advise customer whatever places are practically possible and when you agreed with customer then you should deliver it, otherwise customer hardly get 2-3 days time to visit some places and at that time you guys spoil one day due to your internal dispute then think about customer how much he will lost with these things. Although there was some hiccups but still enjoyed the Goan Beautiful beaches and other places specially cruise time was fantastic.

Abhinav's 5 days trip to Goa

Our recent escapade to Goa was an absolute blast for the whole family, thanks to our stay at the Zuri Sands & Hard Rock Hotel G! If you're looking to mix sun, sea, and smiles, this place is your go-to. Imagine colorful, comfy rooms with a view of palm trees swaying in the breeze in front of the largest swimming pool of Goa. The kids were over the moon for the swimming pool and for the play area. Plus, the balcony was perfect for lazy mornings—a true slice of paradise! Our agent hooked us up with the best local experiences. The resort staff were like family, always ready with a smile and a helping hand. Their warmth and hospitality made our stay truly special. Our Goa getaway was pure magic, Cheers to sun, sand, and smiles !!!

Anil's 4 days trip to Goa

Driver Mr. Vinod Mane was not only a driver, he is a good guide. He describe everything very precisely. His nature was awesome. Also if I talk about Mr. Avinash and Mr. Anurag they treat fantastically and guided me through out the trip. They always attend my call and respond very gently. So every person was good. My family also satisfied by the hospitality. But the cleanliness of the hotel was the only issue. I hope you team will improve this next time. Thankyou so much to all the team. Regards Anil Dutt
