Luxury unlimited at the LaLiT Golf & Spa Resort Goa

Luxury means different things to different people. For the connoisseur true luxury begins where the ordinary ends. So the decision of staying at the LaLiT Golf & Spa Resort Goa was prompted by the decision of staying in ultimate luxury.

When I landed at the Goa airport the tarmac was wet as there had been a slight drizzle. By the time I stepped out of the Airport the weather had cleared out. As part of my hotel booking at the The LaLiT Golf & Spa Resort Goa, I had got a complimentary pickup and drop from the airport.
So I sat into the car sent to pick me up by The LaLiT Golf & Spa Resort Goa and thus began my journey of a luxurious and comfortable stay at the LaLiT Golf & Spa Resort Goa.

When I entered the hotel premises it was a sprawling stretch of green as far as the eyes could see. I found well pruned and maintained golf course on one side and I noticed well trimmed shrub foliage used to create beautiful gardensaround the hotel resort structure.

I felt as if I had stepped into a regal estate. I passed through a small pond before the car stopped at the main portico.

I was given a ceremonious welcome with a garland. I was offered a
glass of cool Kokum juice as a welcome drink. It not only quenched my thirst but also
refreshed me.

By the time I finished my welcome drink the Check in in formalities had been
completed and a room had been allotted to me. Even my luggage had been delivered to
my room.
Entering my room I found it to be quite spacious and roomy. It had airconditioning and large windows covered by drapes. Removing the drapes let in the sunlight and my room was drenched in the golden glow of the sun rays that made my room seem even more brighter and lively.

On inspecting my room I noticed the beds to be very comfortable.There was a Tea
and coffee maker in the room and so was a mini bar.The use of Coffee and Tea
maker was free and the supplies were replenished on a daily basis.

The use of Mini bar and the packed snack was on a paid basis.

As part of my welcome gift I got a jar full of Banana Chips and Goa's famous salted cashews.
My room was so located that I could just be on my bed and enjoy the view of the outside from my room itself. However the luxury of staying at a beach resort gets that much more better if it has an exclusive beach to go with it.
I stepped out of my room and passed through a large sprawling garden and a lush
green lawn before I felt the soft beach sand beneath my feet. In front of me was a vast streach of Arabian sea streaching to as far as the eyes could see.
After all I was in South Goa at the luxurious resort The LaLiT Golf & Spa
Resort Goa. And what a sight and feel it was the sun was setting and it felt
like it is gently melting into the Arabian sea turing it into bright orange.

The cool breeze coming from the ocean felt so good. As I entered the waters the sand beneath my feet quivered and ticklishly massaged the sole of my feet. With not a soul around the entire beach was at my disposable.It was indeed an incredible feeling.
Since it would soon be quite dark I thought that I should not venture too deep into the waters as the waves were getting stronger with the passage of time. So Instead of the ocean I headed towards the swimming pool that had a few guests siting and lazing in the light of the setting sun. Others were swimming and having a good time in the pool. I swam a couple of laps and the pleasantly
cool water relieved me of all the stress and strain of travel or rather what was left of it.
However swimming made me very hungry and I headed to explore the food options.


For that evening I chose to eat at Canacona which is a 24 hour multi cuisine restaurant present within the resort and serves a variety of food options ranging from authentic à la carte Goan dishes to Indian, Oriental and Continental specialities. Additionally, there is breakfast, lunch and dinner buffet. The highlight of the restaurant is the open kitchen with a live pizza oven serving thin crust pizzas with choice of toppings.


 Another structure that I had noticed while going to the pool was the brightly lit structure next to the pool. It was called Gazebo
Located adjacent to the swimming pool. It was a Polynesian-themed sunken bar which I was told opens seasonally and it offered
sandwiches,
burgers,
hot dogs,
salads,
a range of mocktails and cocktails. Based on its perfect ambience and quick service I would give it a ten on ten.


I had a couple of friend who had come to meet me and we headed towards Veri Feni, the must go to place in the evenings. The ambience was bright and I noticed the place was decorated with paintings of famous cartoonist Mario Miranda, This place offers a variety of cocktails, wines, beers, spirits, liqueurs and cigars.
We had the option to play a game of pool or cards. If nothing else we could catch some live sporting action at the large TV there.


Next day I had booked my lunch at Sirocco
Sirocco is a great place to go for lunch and dinner as the master chef offers some delectable Mediterranean cuisine.
With a view of the Arabian Sea and the swimming pool the food tastes that much better.

A lot of People come to Goa to try their luck at the Casino. Staying at the LaLiT Golf & Spa Resort Goa I had the luxury of stepping out of my room and stepping right into the Casino that is present on the premises itself.


If Goan Cuisine is your thing then head towards Cortas as it serves authentic Goan cuisine. Another attraction of this place is that in the afternoon it offers “sun-downer cocktails” which one can enjoy while watching the sun go down and disappear from the horizon.


Next day after breakfast I headed to try my hand at a game of golf. Having a stay at a beach golf course has its advantages. Whenever you feel it is getting too hot you can take a dip into the pool or sit in shade at the beach and count the waves and watch the boats go by. The possibilities are endless
