While Goa, India is known as a "backpacker's paradise" and "hippy culture" there is so much to experience there. From the food, architecture, and beautiful beaches you can find anything you want for a beach getaway. DoubleTree by Hilton in Goa offers great amenities and all of the comforts of a hotel while keeping the "beach holiday vibes". The hotel has a beautiful open concept lobby equipped with a bar and lounge that is small but comfortable. They also have a pool surrounded by palm trees that has the sun hitting it perfectly until mid afternoon. The rooms are very spacious while not ultra luxurious but worth the affordable price. You can rent an ebike just outside of the hotel and it's the most convenient way to get around the city. A quick drive will get you to many of the beaches in the city and if you're feeling adventurous you can even walk to some of them. I would definitely recommend this hotel for your next stay in Goa. #beautifulhotel#summervacation#beachvacation#hotelstay

Arpora is the most wonderful town for a vacation in Goa, in my opinion! We came here before traveling through the mainland of India to get our bearings and fell in love 💗 The people here are incredibly friendly, the prices are reasonable, and transportation is very comfortable 🤍 Getting there from the airport: Air-conditioned buses cost 150 rupees per person to Mapusa. They depart every half hour starting at 8:00 AM. You can pay by card. From there, take a city bus to Arpora. Foreigners pay 50 rupees in cash. Alternatively, take a taxi to the hotel. We had 500 rupees, and I think we could have gone even cheaper. We stayed at a hotel away from the beach, which allowed us to have a quieter stay and take leisurely strolls in the evenings. Our favorite places to eat: Hartman - incredibly delicious vegetarian food for 220-250 rupees per serving (cash only) Oceana - near the beach. They offer fish, meat, and vegetarian dishes. We shared 2-3 dishes and rice for less than 1,000 rupees. You can pay by card. There aren't many supermarkets in the traditional sense here, but there's a Norm market near Oceana. The dogs and cows here deserve special attention 😍 The cows are kings. And the dogs understand the words "good dog" in all languages ​​and are incredibly friendly 😄😍 I'm afraid this place will change dramatically if a lot of foreigners come, but I can't help but recommend it to you ❤️❤️❤️#India #Goa #Arpora

It's hard to find a place by chance, but it's a true, quiet corner of paradise 🩵 A pristine pool, new rooms, far from busy roads, but 15 minutes from cafes and shops. There's a gym equipped for a full workout. The food is mostly vegetarian, but they made omelets and fried bacon for us. The coffee from the coffee machine is excellent, not powdered. And fruit. Monkeys occasionally pop in from afar (they don't come onto the grounds and cause trouble), but the birds sing beautifully. The only downside is the very slow internet. However, you can purchase high-speed internet by the hour. #Arpora #Goa #LemonTree

Goa's morning is comfortable! The climate is good and the refreshing sea breeze is with you. Breakfast at the Hilton Hotel also starts with a greeting from the main chef who greeted us yesterday. A fun start to the Goa schedule💕 #Ho-kang-seu #Goa #Hotel-breakfast #Hilton-Goa

There are famous beaches such as Anjuna Beach and Baga Beach in the north of Goa where the hotel is located! After checking in, I plan to go to Baga Beach around 6~6:30 to see the sunset. I like it because it is a hotel managed by Hilton with a resort atmosphere💕 #Ho-kang-seu #Hilton-Goa #Double-Tree #Goa

Goa, a place where you can eat pork and beef that are hard to find in India. I left Kolhapur and came to the hotel while enduring hunger to eat Goan food, but failed because there were no ingredientsㅠㅠ India is gradually losing its food! But I satisfied my hunger with a delicious shrimp dish💕 #IndianRestaurant #flame #hiltongoa
