A Contemporary Goan Susegad - The Park on Candolim Beach

Yes I am the first guest at The Park on Candolim Beach…and yes its great…
I have been working on the opening of the goa project for almost a year now and have been so looking forward to visiting the hotel.

I love goa..don't ask why..guess most of us who have been there have got enveloped into ofcourse the beaches..booze..music..and fun…I love the feel and laid back attitude of the people. It just stops me and makes me feel why are we running and for what...
Anyways, so yes some perks of heading the corporate communications for the group…you are the first few ones who gets to experience( though after lot of waiting)…so here I come goa!!!


super excited and all set for goa
Though my trip unfortunately was not for fun and pleasure, it was for work..but who minds as long as its going back to the city I love the most...
The opportunity came forward as my fantastic UK PR agency head - Tanya was working on getting host of UK journalist to a spa expedition in south of India and decided to get them to goa too...

well we were all set and excited!!

We were hosting them to an exclusive preview of the hotel, as we were only expected to start by December. Honestly I was a bit sceptical and worried as I had not seen it earlier and was hoping we would be able to showcase the best that we can offer..To my relief the hotel has shaped up very well and seemed pretty and very niche. The hotel has lot of fresh appeal to it… the most fabulous thing of ofcourse is it is location.

The 'Peace Bar' is on an upper deck overlooking the sea where the mood and music shift seamlessly from the sunset , to dinner to night while never ceasing to remain inspiring...

The restaurant called ‘Love’ serving world cuisine is right on the beach and to our delight  served fabulous food..never thought could eat such fantastic fine dining cuisine in goa..
