Hotel Information

If you're looking for a great Goan base that has lashings of peace and quiet and a real home-from-home vibe, then the Palmarinha will suit you down to the ground. You'll find this friendly hotel in the popular resort of Calangute, in a picture-postcard spot, where it's really just you, the hotel and some pretty impressive scenery. If you fancy joining the real world, the town's shops, bars and restaurants are a 15-minute walk away and if you keep on strolling for another 5 minutes or so, you'll find the sprawling stretch of blonde sand that's Calangute Beach. You'll have no problems chilling out at the Palmarinha if you don't want to move though. Day after day can be spent kicking back by the lagoon-style pool. Surrounded by sun beds and huge swaying palm trees, this is most definitely a stress-free zone! Equally tranquil is the library area, where you can loose yourself in the latest best seller. Or go that one step further for the ultimate in relaxation and treat yourself to a soothing massage in the spa. And if you can't leave your fitness regime at home, you'll be pleased to know there's a gym where you can work out. You don't have to go far to eat either. The laid-back restaurant serves up a mouth-watering selection of meals from the continental buffet breakfast to a la carte lunch and dinners. And you're spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing your dish of the day, with everything from Indian, Chinese and continental cuisine. When the stars come out, end your day with a drink in the bar area before you head back to your modern studio apartment for a peaceful night's sleep.
