The Inaka Goa

The location of Earthen Best is fantastic! From here, we could take lovely walks, see village life and observe birds. Early walks are a very quiet, uplifting experience. However, arriving at the location was difficult. Google took us round in circles. The manager/ owner was accessible and did her best to help. We were blessed with good directions from a local person. He accompanied us for a good distance and set us off in the right direction. There were two staff members at the resort. Both were very sweet and helpful. They responded to our requests promptly. And otherwise left us alone. The room has very very basic amenities. Wifi is ok inside the room, though it is not always strong. Better at the cafe. No ac. The cooler was noisy but provided some comfort. It occupies a lot of space in the room The mini fridge works but slowly The plastic toilet seat is smaller than required and very mobile. Water is soft and adequate. However the boiler in the toilet has a very small capacity. You run out of hot water very soon Towels are provided. However, one of the towels was torn. We had a great time visiting nearby places in our car. Had local lunch and breakfast in nearby eateries. They turned out to be safe. Met local people and enjoyed that. Nights were uncomfortable in the room. As the resort is in jungle area, there are many insects. So we cannot open windows. Still, insects come inside thru small holes in the roof. Had to switch off the lights to keep insects at bay. Despite this, the stay was enjoyable because we saw some incredible places and spent time with dear ones

Comfortable stay at Earthen nest, which is inside Cotigao wildlife sanctuary. Staff is very courteous and served us very well. Food at inhouse restaurant also was delicious. We enjoyed some traditional Goan dishes also. Hot afternoon was spent by our whole family at the swimming pool, which is unique with all jungle trees surrounding atmosphere. We were not offered any hike to any nearby waterfalls or such other interesting place, so we just enjoyed leisurely time as a group. The uphill walk from reception to the individual cottages is not suitable for senior citizen, who have difficulty in walking on uneven stairs / ground.
