2PM

Booked uber and reached the airport.

5PM

Landed in Goa by 5PM, So we are 2 hours early than Ravi's flight, Meanwhile, I went to collect the rented car keys.

On the first day, we are upset with the given car's quality, It was our mistake to not take a test drive before payment.

Anyway, We took the car and started toward the resort

9PM

We reached the resort after a worst car drive experience, and check-in into Lotus sutra, So after a fresh up, we went for dinner on Arambol beach.

The food is excellent, At last, some happiness after the car's disappointment.

We are done with day 1 and went back to the resort to sleep.

March 16th

Just excited, about how my daughter going to feel after the first beach visit.

Archana ->

Lakshmi ->

After a perfect sunset experience, went to the resort's swimming pool.

So, done with day 2, we decided to eat dinner from the resort's restaurant, we order food and they delivered it to our room in 20 min.

March 17th

We woke up a little early and went to have breakfast in the resort, breakfast is included in our booking.

after that, we walked to the beach for the next photo session.

Done with day 3, the next day morning we are checking out from lotus sutra, After check-out, we planned for Querim beach which is roughly 25 km from Arambol.

March 18th

9 AM

We check out the resort.

Started towards Querim beach and reached it after an hour.

9 PM

We returned our rented vehicle after a big fight with the car rental guy, and we rented Goa Miles to reach the resort.

The resort location is very tough to reach, Our vehicle won't reach that location, for the final 2km we need to travel in the resort's bolero. But we didn't inform them about our arrival, So they didn't arrange the pick-up vehicle.

We rented a bolero for 500 to drop at the resort.

March 19th

In this resort, everything is costly due to the isolated location, and we don't have any option other than the resort's restaurant. Even though the price is high, the food is excellent.
