The Zuri Hotel Experience - Goa, India


Welcome to Goa, India!
We had just gotten back from our trip the day before Christmas and it was amazing!

Saying that it was indeed relaxing is an understatement.

When we left Doha, it was raining so hard and it took us about an hour to reach the airport.

The flight was a little uncomfortable because of the turbulence.

We flew in with Qatar Airways and it was disappointing that they had only served fish and it is spicy.

Since we'll be in India for sure we'll be eating most of these.

When we landed in Goa, it took us time to go through Immigration as there were only 4 counters available and processing was a bit slow.

After that, we had traveled around another 30 minutes to the hotel.

We had stayed at Zuri and the place is breathless.

The hotel is located in the south which is better for us as the place is not that crowded and they do have access to the beach side as well.

The breakfast buffet is also great.

There is an egg counter wherein you can ask the chef on how you want your eggs to be cooked.

Steaming hot coffee and teas are also available the whole day.

Fresh fruits and whole variety of dishes are also there.

After the day's activities, we would go to the Waterfalls Café to enjoy the tea plus they serve it with freshly baked cookies.

The restaurant's customer service is good.

There was a time when I had ordered pasta but it was too salty for me so the chef had offered to cook another one for me which I had declined as I was already full from the fruits.

They did not bill us for that as well.

The hotel's service is excellent too.

We may be a little too demanding asking for lots of stuffs from mosquito repellants, chargers and a whole lot more but they do it quickly.

Here are some of the photos:

As expected, most of the foods are spicy.
There's a small sitting place, great for having the morning coffee.
