Goa's HOTTEST Blue Holiday Home: Book Your Dream Escape NOW!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're not just reviewing a Goa holiday home, we're diving into it. This isn’t your typical sanitized hotel review, this is a messy, glorious, slightly unhinged love letter (and maybe a few side-eyes) to Goa's "HOTTEST Blue Holiday Home: Book Your Dream Escape NOW!" Let's get real, shall we?
First off, the name. "HOTTEST Blue Holiday Home"? Bold. A bit… generic, maybe? Like ordering "the chicken" at a restaurant. But hey, it works, right? It screams "Goa vibes!" and promises something… well, hot. Let's see if they deliver.
Accessibility: The "Can I Get In?" Question
Alright, the boring stuff first. Accessibility. I’m not going to pretend to be an expert here, but I'm looking for details. Is it a total nightmare for anyone with mobility issues? Are there ramps? Elevators? Because let's face it, Goa can be a bit… bumpy. The review says they have facilities for disabled guests . Okay, good start. I'm hoping it's more than just a ramp at the entrance and a dodgy elevator. Let’s see, is this the whole package?
On-Site Accessible Restaurants/Lounges: Foodie Freedom
This is crucial, especially because, well, food. Are the restaurants and lounges easily accessible? Wide aisles? Tables that aren't crammed together? Accessible restrooms? If I’m going to gorge myself on Goan fish curry (seriously, it's a gift from the gods), I need to be able to get to the fish curry. I need details!
Wheelchair Accessible: The Nitty-Gritty
Right, the meat and potatoes of accessibility. Specifically, is the entire property, the room, the pool, the eating spots genuinely wheelchair accessible? I need to know the specifics on this one, the doorways, the ramps, the elevators etc. It’s not just a tick box, it's about ensuring a welcoming, inclusive experience for everyone.
Internet: The Digital Detox (Or Not?)
Okay, the internet. In theory, these places always have internet (Wi-Fi in public areas, free Wi-Fi in all rooms, and Internet access – LAN). Reality? Well, let’s just say I've spent enough time in Goa staring up at the stars because the Wi-Fi decided to take a permanent nap. Strong, reliable internet is a must for me. I need to be able to work (ugh), upload my holiday snaps (obviously), and stalk my ex on Instagram (just kidding… mostly). So, here's hoping the "Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!" is the real deal and not some cruel, internet-less joke.
Things to Do/Ways to Relax: Finding Your Zen (or Messing It Up)
This is the fun part! Let’s see… Body scrub, Body wrap, Fitness center, Foot bath, Gym/fitness, Massage, Pool with view, Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor]… Woah, hold your horses! That’s a lot of options.
- The Pool with a View: Okay, this sounds amazing. I'm picturing myself, a cocktail in hand, gazing out at the Arabian Sea. Pure bliss. If that view isn't killer, I'm raising a stink.
- The Spa: I’m a sucker for a good massage. But a Body scrub? Body wrap? Now, I’m starting to get excited. Will they knead the knots out of my shoulders? Will the body wrap turn me into a silky, glistening Buddha? (I’m dreaming big here).
- The Gym/Fitness: Okay, now I'm getting a little less excited. Gotta balance the cocktails and curries somehow, I guess.
Cleanliness and Safety: Because Nobody Wants the 'Goa Tummy'
Okay, let’s talk reality… and the inevitable "Goa Tummy." This is huge. Anti-viral cleaning products, Breakfast in room, Breakfast takeaway service, Cashless payment service, Daily disinfection in common areas, Doctor/nurse on call, First aid kit, Hand sanitizer, Hot water linen and laundry washing, Hygiene certification, Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Room sanitization opt-out available, Rooms sanitized between stays, Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Shared stationery removed, Staff trained in safety protocol, Sterilizing equipment.

The Verdict: Goa's Hottest?
Okay, look, this is a lot of information. And frankly, I’m exhausted from typing it all out. But here's the thing: "HOTTEST Blue Holiday Home" sounds like they GET it. They seem to understand that a great holiday home is about more than just a place to sleep. It’s about the experience. Cleanliness, comfy beds, good food, and strong Wi-Fi (please let it be strong Wi-Fi!) all matter.
I need to know the feeling of being there, the vibe. Are the staff friendly? Do they seem genuinely happy to have you? Is the pool actually amazing? Does the view from the window transport you to paradise?
The only way to know for sure is to go.

The Goa, OMG, It's Happening Trip: A Completely Unreliable Guide
Phase 1: Pre-Goa Panic (And the Slightest Glimmer of Hope)
Date: Next Week - Who knows, maybe?
Location: My Apartment (aka Ground Zero of the Chaos)
Task: Pack. Ha. Packing is a myth. I stared at my suitcase for a solid hour yesterday, convinced I could telepathically beam my wardrobe into it. Spoiler alert: didn't work. Currently, it looks like a black hole of potential regret.
Thought: "Do I really need five bikinis? Yes. Yes, I do. And maybe a sixth, just in case the Goa gods demand it." The bikini situation is critical. I'm picturing myself, already, as a sun-kissed goddess, confidently strolling the beach. The reality is probably more me looking like a lobster, but hey, we're aiming for the dream!
Imperfection Alert: I JUST remembered I haven't confirmed my flights. This is a disaster. My brain is currently a tangled ball of excitement and pure, unadulterated terror.
Phase 2: The Descent (aka, Getting There)
Date: Flight Day - whenever the hell that is.
Location: Airports, Planes, and a whole lot of pray-to-the-travel-gods-that-my-luggage-arrives-in-one-piece.
Morning: Wake up disoriented, fueled by instant coffee and the desperate hope that my passport is actually in the right pocket. The airport is always a trial. It's like a human labyrinth designed solely to test your patience.
Plane Ride: Embrace the airplane food (because, you know, it's gotta happen). Judge the entertainment choices, and contemplate writing a passive-aggressive note about the lack of legroom. Maybe I'll cry. Maybe I'll laugh. Either way, it's a forced meditation on the meaning of existence.
Arrival: Goa! The air hits you like a warm, spicy embrace. The chaos is immediate, beautiful, and absolutely overwhelming. Traffic? Forget about it. Cows? Part of the scenery. The real adventure has just begun.
Phase 3: Blue Holiday Home – Living the Dream (Or, at Least, Trying To)
Date: Once We Arrive. Forever.
Location: Blue Holiday Home, the place I've seen on Instagram a million times and dreamed of!
Upon Arrival: The first few hours are a haze of checking in, unpacking, and trying to remember which way the Earth spins. Find the pool immediately. I demand it. This is non-negotiable. Order a cocktail. Several cocktails.
The Beach Situation: Anjuna Beach! Palolem! Any beach! I'm going to be THAT person – the one who gets to the beach at dawn to watch the sunrise. (And then, probably naps on the sand for a few hours). I might even try a yoga class. (Keyword: try). Don't expect perfection. Expect the occasional lost sandal, sand in everything, and the salty, sun-kissed bliss of being truly, utterly present.
The Food Odyssey: Oh, the food! Fish curry! Vindaloo! Pancakes! I'm going to eat everything. And probably cry about the gloriousness of it all. I'm picturing myself at a beachside shack, inhaling the ocean breeze and devouring a plate of seafood. I might even attempt to learn how to cook something. (Spoiler alert: I'm not a chef).
The Market Madness: Anjuna Flea Market! An absolute must-do. Be prepared to haggle like your life depends on it. This is where you discover treasures, hidden gems, and the true art of the bargain. I want a silk scarf, a silver charm bracelet, and maybe someone to carry my shopping bags.
The "Chill" Zone: Evenings will be spent on the balcony, watching the sunset, drinking something strong, and writing in my journal (or maybe just letting the memories wash over me). Maybe a bonfire night? Maybe meet some lovely locals and have a party! Just the thought alone is bliss.
Phase 4: Doubling Down on the Beach - Because, Beach
This bit requires its own section. Because, let's be honest, Goa is all about the beach. My soul is screaming for an entire day dedicated to the sand, the sun, and the sea. I'm envisioning:
- Morning: A sunrise-adjacent arrival at Arambol Beach. I'm determined to be one of the first ones there, even if it means dragging myself out of bed before noon. Grab a fresh coconut for instant hydration and beach-ready vibes.
- Mid-Morning: Find a shady spot under a palm tree. Plant myself – not for the whole day, don't worry, just for an hour or two of complete, uninterrupted bliss. Read a book. Listen to the waves. Meditate? Maybe. Probably not. Just breathe.
- Lunch: Beach shack time! Seafood, obviously. Fresh, grilled, and slathered in garlic and chili. Maybe a cold beer, too. Or two. Or three. Don't judge.
- Afternoon: Beach games! Volleyball. Frisbee. Or, more realistically, a leisurely stroll along the shore, collecting seashells and generally being a sun-kissed, sandy-haired goddess. This is the moment.
- Late Afternoon: Sunset. Ah, the sunset. This is where the magic happens. Find a spot. Watch the colors explode across the sky. Just be present. Just feel. This is why we're here.
- Evening: Dinner at a beachside restaurant. Live music. Maybe a bonfire. Dancing under the stars? Yes, please!
Phase 5: The Unexpected Detours (Because Life, and Goa, Don't Stick to a Plan)
- Motorbike Chaos: I might rent a motorbike. I might drive it. I might crash it. All are equally possible, so it requires a detour here.
- The Unexpected Friendship: You meet people. You make friends. You share stories, laughter, and maybe a few too many cocktails. That's the joy of travel. It's never what you expect but always what you need.
- The Meltdown: Expect it. Allow it. The inevitable moment when you feel overwhelmed. When you lose your sunglasses. When you miss your flight. Laugh about it. The "perfect" trip doesn't exist. Embrace the chaos.
- The "I'll Be Back" Moment: As the trip winds down, the inevitable sadness kicks in. The feeling of wanting to bottle this moment and bring it home with me. The longing already for the next adventure.
Phase 6: The Return (And the Post-Goa Blues)
Date: The Day After.
Location: Back Home (Or, Maybe, Just Dreaming of Goa)
The Journey Home: Airport chaos again. The end. Or is it?
The Aftermath: Pictures. Stories. A lingering scent of sunscreen. A deep sense of peace, or at least, a temporary escape from reality. The start of planning my next adventure.
Thought: I can't wait. Already, I'm a bit afraid about going home. So I might just end up staying.
Important Note: This is a suggestion. It's a guide. It's a suggestion, a guideline, and a vibe. This is a living, breathing, unpredictable adventure. Embrace it. Get lost. Get a little messy. And most importantly, have the best damn time of your life. Now, I'm going to go back to packing. Wish me luck. I'm gonna need it.
Orleans Escape: Unforgettable Stay at Best Western d'Arc Hotel
Goa's Hottest Blue Holiday Home: You Thinking of Booking? Lemme Spill the Tea... and the Feni!
Okay, so, *why* this Blue Place? Is it actually as dreamy as the Insta pics?
The *dreamiest* part? Waking up to the sound of the waves. Sounds cliché, I know, but it’s just… peaceful. Then, you’ve got the staff! They're *amazing*. Seriously, they'll do anything for you. Like, one morning I managed to lock myself out of the balcony (don't ask). Panic set in. They calmly sorted it out. Bless them. They are worth their weight in gold.
**But a word of caution:** The "beach access" is a *tiny* bit of a walk, not like, 'step-out-onto-the-sand' situation. It's a slight hike. And the 'robust wifi' on the website? Let's just say I *definitely* experienced the frustration of dropping calls and endlessly buffering. But hey, maybe that's a good thing. Force you to *actually* relax, right? Or, you know, rage-quit your work email. Your choice!
Food! Is the food situation good? Can I bring my own Maggi noodles?
You *can* bring your own Maggi, naturally! But seriously, *don't*. Save the precious space (and the inevitable mess if you decide to make it late at night). The local markets are overflowing with incredible fresh produce AND (important point) cheap beer. Make sure you get some fresh fish from the market and ask the chef to cook it for you.
**My advice?** Talk to the staff. They know all the best local spots, the hidden gems, the perfect places to get that authentic Goan experience. Like, one day they took us to this tiny, unassuming shack on the beach... best seafood curry EVER. Seriously. I'm still dreaming about it. And yes, I did have a minor *meltdown* when I found out they were out of the Kingfish that day... let's just say the staff's patience was tested. But they delivered on every other request, bless them, and I'm forever grateful.
Is it kid-friendly? (I have a small army...)
If your kids are, say, 5+ and decent swimmers, then yes, absolutely! The house is spacious, there's plenty of area to run around (when not on the balconies) and the pool will be a hit. But if you're traveling with little ones who need constant supervision, maybe rethink it. Or bring a nanny. Seriously. Bring a nanny.
**My experience?** I did see ONE family, and that was it! They seemed pretty low-key. They kept the kids in line. Hats off. The most important thing is to communicate your needs and expectations with the staff BEFORE you arrive.
How do I get there? Is it a nightmare?
The roads in Goa are (generally) fine but be prepared for some winding routes. The drive is part of the experience, really. You'll pass lush greenery, colourful houses. Embrace the journey! Also -- watch out for the cows! They are *everywhere*. Seriously, a full-blown road block once. The driver just sat there and waited. Very Goan.
What do I *actually do* while I'm there? I can't just float in the pool all day... can I?
BUT! You can't spend *every* waking moment in the pool. You’ll miss out! The Blue House is a great base for exploring.
**Here's my breakdown**:
- **Beaches:** Duh. Arambol is a must-see (but is a little further away), Palolem is gorgeous, and Vagator is lively (and has a great cliffside viewpoint). The staff can sort you out with a driver or scooter rental. (Scootering is an absolute blast, BTW. Just... be careful.)
- **Markets:** Anjuna Flea Market is famous (crowded but fun), and don't miss the local markets for fresh produce, spices, clothing, and unique souvenirs. Bring cash! (And maybe a small rucksack to fill. Prepare to bargain!)
- **Temples & Churches:** Old Goa is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Beautiful churches. Very peaceful. Great for photos.
- **Partying:** There are beach shacks with DJs playing until late, lively clubs and all that jazz. Very easy to do as Goa is considered quite safe.
- **Yoga & Wellness:** Goa is stuffed with yoga retreats and spas. Treat yourself! I got a massage. Best decision. Ever.
What are the major downsides? Be honest.Best Hotels Blog
