We spent a wonderful week at Club Mahindra Varca
Beach this May. We opted to stay in a
spacious studio apartment. Located close to the 2nd pool (nearer the
beach) on the ground floor.
Spacious with a double bed, a sofa cum double bed
where Vir slept, a mini kitchenette with microwave, toaster, electric kettle,
sink and a dining table.
The week whizzed by with me doing NOTHING! Just sleeping,
eating, swimming, hanging by the pool, reading, choosing which shack to eat
lunch/dinner in, sunset walks on the beach….

The boy had the time of his life, he wanted to
extend our holiday. He swam in the pool and in the sea! Caught sand crabs and
let them free, Experienced the Zorb Ball
(in the pool) for the 1st time, cycled around the garden, zip lined,
played games at the activity centre. The activities and the Fun Rangers kept
children occupied all through the day and gave parents a much needed break.

We all did some water sports on the beach - Jet Ski
and speed boat rides
Dune Shack is the resort’s speciality sea food
restaurant near the beach – we treated ourselves one night for a fabulous sea
food dinner – giant crabs, lobster, prawns and fish! Was wonderful, we got
great service and fresh seafood cooked to our taste.
Svaastha Spa deserves a special mention – all 3 of
us enjoyed Ayurvedic massages in a soothing ambience on par with a top rated
Spa. The husband and I also visited the salon for a pedis.
We did try out the nearby shacks (Eddies &
Misha) on the beach and near the resort but were quite content to eat ala carte
meals in the café most of the time.
We avoided the “Fun Dining” in the buffet
restaurant. The cuisine and crowds were not our scene. We sampled their western
and Goan cuisine both of which were good.
We even had room service on occasion for dinner –
as Vir was keen to relax after a hectic day swimming and cycling with little
friends.
We didn’t venture out of Varca, being content to do
nothing – as that’s what we wanted. So
we weren’t bothered by the taxi operators high fares.
All in all we had an amazing break and returned
rejuvenated and refreshed
Highly recommended for a switched off vacation! Hope
to make it an annual affair!
