Our opinion: Chose the Palmarinha for the chance to combine relaxation with a touch of culture in this fascinating area.

The Palmarinha - Portuguese for swaying palms - is a colourful, 5-storey hotel situated among the paddy fields of rural Bardez in north Goa. Simply, but comfortably furnished rooms overlook a pretty sun terrace, where sun loungers are ranged, enticing you to a day spent poolside. Within this scene, palm trees hung with fairy lights twinkle at night, reflected in the attractive rectangular pool. This is one of three, two of which have adjoining shallow toddlers' pools. Older children will have fun in the adventure playground or the games room equipped with table tennis, pool, air hockey, and more, while grown ups may prefer to surrender to expert hands for a soothing massage. If this seems too self-indulgent, earn it with a session toning muscles in the gym beforehand.

The popular beach and buzzing restaurants, clubs and bars of the Calangute area are just 10 minutes away, bringing zing to your nightlife and the chance for a fascinating forage among in the bazaar on Saturdays. Rootle among the colourful displays of trinkets, crafts and exotic local foods for some unusual souvenirs. Ancient ruins and landmarks representing Goa's days under Portuguese rule offer absorbing days immersed in the history and culture of your holiday destination. If this is what excites you, you won't want to miss the cultural events going on featuring local art, live music and entertainment, either. Back at the hotel, the Palm restaurant lays on a fabulous spread of authentic Goan and international dishes as well as evening entertainment to bring the day to a perfect finish.
