Grand Escape To Planet Hollywood Beach Resort Goa

Goa means non-stop fun and long hours at the beaches, sand at my feet and sun by my side!! I love to embrace everything all at once along with the relaxed and slow life in Goa, which allows you to appreciate all the small things in life – like the nature, your togetherness and Goa also makes me realize how important it is to take a break once in a while and live for yourself in that moment. After all, it is absolutely true that one must work hard, party harder and then work some more just to come back to partying in style!!!

After reading up and seeing some breathtakingly beautiful pictures online, we came to know about India’s very own and first ever Planet Hollywood Holiday Resort in Goa which is the most luxurious, trendy and happening place to stay with your friends or colleagues right from conferences to bachelorettes, destination weddings, birthday surprises to just partying in style!!

Right from the warm welcome to the ever-smiling and helpful staff, you know you are in for some serious royal pampering from the time you enter their Hollywood style lobby, which is designed by none other than Ms. Gauri Khan. She has designed the “Presidential Villa” too, you will get to know about this piece of HEAVEN on a separate article on my blog since I thought it deserves to be unfolded in a majestic way!! The tall ceilings, chilled welcome drinks as kokum sherbets, vibrant and low-rise architectures with grand sculptures, make this property an exotic getaway in Goa.

It is situated on the serene white sands of Uttorda Beach in South Goa and spending hours at this private beach and cycling around it was one of the things you just cannot miss out on. This property is right in between the Majorda Beach on the South & the Cansolim Beach on the North.

Planet Hollywood Beach Resort Goa is spread over spacious 10 acres and has all the world class amenities like the Gym which boasts of all the cardio + strengthening equipment and machinery, a Jacuzzi, a pool that has sparkly lights which you see once the sun goes down, pool bar that serves you the best drinks in floating glasses, conference banquet and 115 Rooms & Suites that are divided into 8 different room blocks which have 8 unique Hollywood style themes. That way, you get to experience completely different styles and designs in these 8 blocks on your various stays. A beach volleyball court and badminton court for some fun outdoor activities. They even have archery activity which you can participate in.

Each and every room/ suite has the special mood lighting which gives a very dramatic effect upon dimming the lights or otherwise too. The leg massager was a LIFE SAVIOUR and it is available in every single room. How thoughtful right?? The personalized welcome with our names embroidered on the napkins to the names engraved on the wine bottle, displaying some of my best work on the LED screen, to the welcome brownie with “Sassy Shif Says” logo printed in our room, it was as if a red carpet has been rolled out just for us.

Weeks have passed since we took this trip, but the royal treatment to the hip vibe still stays fresh in our hearts!! The poolside view on one side and the Utorda beach on the other, made this location an ideal one for us. Imagine, Planet Hollywood Beach Resort Goa has placed additional speakers in every room to take our PARTAY experience to another level. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better than this, I came to know about the DVD’s of some of the evergreen hit Hollywood films that could be taken from their movie library anytime.

On our 2^nd day, we headed to the Three Kings Church in South Goa, which is just few kilometers away from the Resort (you can choose to cycle there or go by car). The view from the top is picturesque and this was our outdoor breakfast destination, the menu of which consisted of some of the best muffins, fresh juices, chicken sandwiches and Indian dishes, freshly made by the Chefs.

During monsoons, it was even more scenic from the hilltop as it was windy too and the lush greenery just made this entire outing experience totally worth it!! Salman & me have had the TIME OF OUR LIVES during this trip!!

We came back to the hotel and headed to The Pink Room, for a couple’s massage session. We opted for their signature massage followed by a scrub. All of their organic oils, Ayurvedic scrubs, etc are all made in the hotel using all natural ingredients and these are as authentic as home made since one they are freshly made and two they do not use any preservatives.

Fame Restaurant is your go-to resto-lounge that serves the best Western & Asian Cuisine in the whole of Goa.

We had the entire restaurant to ourselves during our dinner and Chef Siddharth made some of the best sushis, chicken teriyaki and other Japanese delicacies for us. This is one of the best fine dining experience during your stay with Planet Hollywood Beach Resort Goa.

Planet Dailies is their breakfast buffet area that serves lavish International, Far East Asian and Indian dishes that transport you to California.

This restaurant has an interactive kitchen through which you can enjoy the food making process along with their specially crafted a la carte menu featuring fresh garden salads, gourmet sandwiches, wraps and local curries. The restaurant’s al fresco dining is an apt place for a late breakfast or lunch over fruit cocktails.
