Grooving at Coconut Grove

The narrow road, hair-pin turns, old Goan villages, verdant rice fields, women drawing water out of wells and the promenade of coconut trees welcomes the guests at Coconut Grove, The Goan Beach Retreat. Located just 250 metres from Betalbatim Beach, with 36 deluxe rooms and 2 cottages, Coconut Grove is set among swaying palms in the quiet village of Betalbatim in south Goa. The resort's design is a tribute to Goan architecture with visible laterite stones and sloping roofs.

Remy Vaz, assistant general manager, Coconut Grove, says, "Goa is exceptionally green in the monsoons. Our resort is located far away from the hustle and bustle of the city thus providing a quiet ambience to guests who need timeout from their busy lives. The property is built in old Portuguese style with rooms that are cozy with a clear view of the sea." In the ambience one can find serenity, seclusion and an escape from the stress of city life. Tastefully decorated private lodges allow the guests to relax and take in the beauty of the surroundings. In this intimate environment one can indulge with a drink at the bar or relax by the pool and have fun.

Located 12 kms away from the airport and 6 kms from Margao railway terminus, this beach resort is ideal for honeymooning couples and also a perfect escape for stressed out individuals. The restaurants also offer an excellent choice of Thai, Goan, Continental and Indian cuisine. The resort has special discounts for the monsoon season, with theme parties and cultural festivals.
