Whenever we mention a Goa vacation, what image flashes your mind? In ours, we're sitting in a flamingo floatie in a pool, in a breezy beach resort, sipping on that strawberry daiquiri, sunbathing or curled up with a book, with not a worry in the world. Naturally, beach resorts in Goa are amongst our favourite places to park ourselves at, and thankfully you'll be spoiled for choice when you visit the Sunshine State.
