We were actually going to visit Tarapeeth and therefore thought of taking a halt at Santiniketan and visit the place of Tagore. Since we did not make an advanced reservation, we went around checking hotels which had some basic standards and comfortable. To our surprise, we found Marks & Meadows - the only hotel there with a swimming pool. What a surprise!!! We checked in, the price was right and we were provided with a comfortable room as well. Great time at the hotel and in the evening we explored the Vishwa Bharati University and reached a small little village there. To our surprise, this was the village where the Baul singers reside - by the way for those who may not be aware, it is this form of folk music based on which Tagore composed his great creation of Baul songs and the most famous of which is \'Aakla Chalo Rey\'. We spent an evening there and were surprised with their hospitality in their mud-huts and they sang few songs as well. We imediately invited them to our hotel the following evening for an exclusive performance and the hotel cooperated to the extent that I have no words to express! More » « Hide

It\'s built in a Portuguese Style architecture, two storeys, with very well spread out units and lots of greenery et al. I always preferred staying at the 1-bedroom apartment units which the hotel calls them as suites which are very spacious, with large balconies, living room and bedroom with attached toilet and shower. It has nice swimming pool which is well serviced by the the local but well mannered and helpful staff. The location of the resort in unbeatable, on the beach and is good for all segments be it family, couples, honeymooners and the party-goers. It\'s very close to the hotspots of Goa namely Tito\'s, Cavala etc. and yet a bit far to enjoy the privacy. More » « Hide
