I had a vacation in GOA in March 2025, at the Samantha Inn in Arambol. Excellent location of the hotel, two or three minutes walk from the sea. The staff is very friendly and helpful. There is a restaurant at the hotel, where the coffee is very tasty and the food is not bad. There is a Nirvana cafe on the beach where you can use a sunbed, and if necessary, an umbrella will be opened for you. The cafe has a very varied menu and delicious food.
I flew recently, from 16-23.01.25 I liked Arambol, the people are positive!) the beach is clean, friendly and kind beach staff! What can I say, I'll fly a second time!)))))
