No monsoon is Goa is complete without leisurely evenings over food and drink with close family or enthusiastic entertaining with friends. However, monsoons in Goa assume an other worldly bonhomie with rain beating hard against the roof, while the weekend bar at your corner pub dives head first into an eclectic menu to match the mood of the season.
So, while in Goa we recommend 5 must do/must add/must create Monsoon Cocktails guaranteed to elevate your status to `best host’ around society party circles.
Says General Manager, Mr Shobhit Sawhney, “There is a subtle charm to Goa during the monsoons. In fact, I believe it is the most picturesque time of the year in the State. With its detailed landscaping of lush gardens and serene water bodies, Park Hyatt Goa Resort and Spa looks simply spectacular in the rains, offering our guests plenty of recreational options even when they are indoors. The diverse dining options at the resort give guests no reason to want to step out either. We are designed as the ultimate resort hotel – truly an eco-sensitive, completely relaxing and uniquely Goan experience.”
