We booked this package for our 10th wedding anniversary. The overall experience was pretty good, but I felt it could have been better. Once the package was booked I was hoping for some instructions/guidance, but none was provided. My wife and I have never really involved in such photoshoots in the past and I am sure this would be the case with many couples who book this package. Basic instructions on what really happens during the day and what preparations are required would be very helpful. (How many and what are the locations; Can we change clothes in between?; if yes then how many times? etc…) I called up on the number provided and enquired about these things, but never received any response. The representative of the company who answered my call seemed very amused that I wanted to know what preparations I should do for the photoshoot! It was a bit embarrassing and I was not at all pleased with this attitude. The package mentions the timing as 9AM to 5PM, but the company asks you to choose from a morning to lunch time option or a lunch to evening option. We choose to start after lunch, so that we could get some sunset pics. The photographer who contacted us was a nice person, but he too was unfortunately not able to provide us the right information before the start of the shoot. Once we met him, only then he explained the sequence of events for the day. He had planned that we would take the first set of pics at ‘Fort Aguada’; from there he wanted to go to a garden in Panjim; then to a beach and finally a few pics near a Church. This was exactly the sort of info that would have been useful to help us plan and pick out the clothes that we could wear for each location. Also, there was no changing room at any of these places and we had to change in our car! The photographer however was very friendly and made us comfortable during the photoshoot. He stayed with us all the way till 7PM for the photoshoot and it was 9PM by the time he was able to hand us the pics in a pen drive. A quick remark on the pen drive also – The package mentions – under inclusions- that the pics would be handed over to us in a pen drive; In reality the photographer said that we would have to give him a pen drive of our own. Luckily we were carrying a spare pen drive and could copy all the pics. The quality of the pictures (he took nearly 350 pics!) themselves turned out decently good and we are happy with the results. Overall, despite the initial setbacks, we actually really enjoyed the experience.

The vineyard is tiny, about 10 acres maybe. Dried out vegetation around it. Not very romantic as such. Factory was closed when we visited so no grape stomping or bottling demo. The guided tour was very succinct, not greatly exciting either. And apparently Sula has brought out Heritage, so the tasting has Sula options. The people hosting the tasting seemed decently knowledgeable to a noob like me. I tried all three tasting packages and still didn't get buzzed, not my lucky day. The MRP store there is nice, they have some lesser known varieties and some quirky gift items and t-shirts. The restaurant is over priced and average at taste but has a pleasant ambience. The only highlight of my day is that they had all varieties of heritage wines and it was a delight to this loyal heritage fangirl!

We had difficulty in finding the location.The location mentioned in thrillophilia is inaccurate. The tour operator said that he sent proper location but we didn't get any mail or message from him. So, we followed the one mentioned in thrillophilia and reached somewhere else. We called him again and luckily he received the call this time and shared the correct location. So, after 1 hour of struggle we finally reached the location. After reaching there we came to know that it is best suited for group activities and you should come in a group.So, there were no activities organized as mentioned here because we were only 2 people. We passed our time by playing volleyball and archery. The best part of the trip was night camp and morning trek. We enjoyed and were mesmerised by the scenic beauty and managed to click good pictures. Overall a good place to relax, away from the hustle and bustle of the city .This place is good if you are going in a group, corporate team outings, friends hangout. They will arrange for the bonfire after dinner.

Pros: Lovely atmosphere. Not deserted but also not super crowded. Nice to enter the winery. The sommelier from Sula who lead the wine-tasting segment was brilliant; very inspiring. Cons (and don't go if this puts you off): The main tour seemed very rehearsed, especially with the tour guide's stock "jokes" and one-liners. Efforts to engage were superficial and questions about the process were met with very vague answers. To top it off, there was a very explicit indication that women who consumed alcohol were not "good girls", which is a bizarre thing for a connoisseur of wine to say. Not much interaction with any other staff/workers/experts in the winery itself. We weren't able to go to the actual vineyards, as harvest season was over. Restaurant was extremely crowded, service was terrible, food was average (barring the grape milkshake, which was a sugary disaster) and the prices were obscenely high. No pairing with food or even suggestion of wines was offered - it may as well have had nothing to do with a winery. Grape stomping was a bit 'meh' as they just played some Bollywood music and told us to wash off when we were done. No interesting notes on how it was originally done, for how long, interesting techniques etc. Not even a representative to converse with. Overall, I've rated it three stars only because we decided to go ahead and have fun with pretty low expectations for an almost-impromptu trip. If we'd gone with serious intent to learn, taste, buy and essentially come away richer and more knowledgeable, my rating would have dropped a notch.

I was tempted after seeing 5 star rating for this particular trip but was highly disappointed.- Trek should be planned properly, there was no clear trail and we weren't told that leeches might be there. We weren't wearing proper shoes ( with hard cover) and 100s of leeches ATTACKED us. Thankfully, one of my trip members was carrying salt so it helped us a lot. The guide had no clue about the leeches and he wasn't even around to help us.- Also, we got completely different information about the trek from the owner.- No backup of electricity at night.- Food was ok, not mind blowing as some of the reviews are suggesting.- The cost of this package is not worth at all - Rifle shooting and boating should not be costing that much.- Tents were clean enough. The cleanliness of the washroom depends on the people staying in the camp.- The people who were working over there were nice and helpful. However there are few things which are not in their control- backup of electricity etc.

the tour was supposed to be for an hour but it was just half an hour. The guide was knowledgeable and the tips and information given for drinking wine was really good. But as we had gone after harvest the fields were completely empty. They informed that the best time to visit is in August and November.

Its a day well spent snorkeling and having fun in the still waters of Grande island. The guide guy Deepak was awesome. But, one bummer is the lunch arrangement, its bound to make some vegetarians go pretty angry.

I would like to put the pros and cons of this trip we had on 17th March, 2017. Certainly we enjoyed a lot, however few things I would like to mention in segregation- Pros - Lunch was really good and the manager was courteous. - Easy to locate the place through GPS. -Good view of Rural area. Cons - The activities performed does not follow a very stringent rules of safety. Accidents can easily happen. E.g. the rope sports- The gloves were all torn and dirty, there is a rappelling board right in front of one of the rope with iron frames. While rappelling one person holds the rope by hands without any safety equipment or pulley, a dangerous thing. - The breakfast was not good at all. Idli was bad, and aalloo paratha did not have aalloo with no companion curd or anything. - The tents given to put the stuff looks flimsy and does not gives a confidence that stuffs are safe inside. - The archery and all the equipments were in real bad shape, not at all usable. Initially we had a minor co-ordination issue as well which was sorted out once Krutika intervened. Overall the trip was ok and we enjoyed the slush volley ball.

The food and hospitality at the resort was quite good but there are not enough activities available so that people can enjoy.

It was kind of awesome especially the pool, but it's sad that a lot of activities are available only on Sundays. We were only able to do water volleyball and squash. Drinks are overcharged (common in most resorts). Pools cues were very less. Pool/Snooker tables are good quality.

We had been to this place during New Year celebration. No doubt the place is full of nature but we realized this trip is not worth spending 3000 per person. They either have to give good service else they have to reduce the price. Trekking: - They simply take us to the nearest mountain for trekking but way no proper way so we can't enjoy trekking. Yes, you can enjoy the waterfall nearby but to reach to the waterfall there is no proper way. As there is no plan by them so we can't enjoy during this trip. But the places was good. If you want to stay in one place and enjoy the nature then it is a nice place. I hope they will improve their services.

Games: Charges for certain outdoor games such as zipline, bicycle are too high. Bicycle was charged too high. Could have been good with more outdoor games, like a water slider in the pool.Food: Mutton Biryani was horrible. Rest all was good.Rain dance :DJ was awesome!!!Approach Road: 100 metres stretch near the entrance is horrible. Resort owners can plan to relay this at their cost.

The lodge was nice. The room was tidy and clean. Also the food served was good. However the booking I did of superior room had been converted in the administration to a standard and I had to spend quite som time convincing the staff. The safari was well organized and the drivers and guides did a good job. There was very little animals to see.

Not worth the money if you are planning for kids sake. But I would give 5 stars for adults. Almost all activities are for adults. My kid could enjoy only one game. My rating: Resort cleanliness and ambience: 5/5 Food: 3/5 Kids activities: 1/5 Overall: 3/5 Price doesn't match with the offerings.

Food was 3 Wine tour 3 Wine tour mentor 5 850 Excluding grape chomping is way too much. The wine tasting had to be cut short due to a large crowd and there were no grapes in wineyard just shrubs. The person who conducted the wine tour was very experienced and brilliant.

The transport there was really bad. The bus first stopped at around 12am in the night at Ramnagar to pick up the guide, we had to all get out and walk on foot in the dark, cross a railway track and reach where the guide was. None of this was informed to us. Then the bus driver stopped by the side of the road, from 4am to 5am, for a nap. The stay was very minimal, with the guest house have tons of insects inside, and overall really messy toilets. I wish the organisers would make these things a little more clear at the beginning. The trek itself was lovely. It wasn't too difficult and it was really scenic, and the food, albeit minimal, was very tasty.
