Though there's plenty of reason not to step outside the resort, if you wish to explore the fascinating world of Goa, Prainha at Dona Paula in North Goa is just 7 km from Goa's capital city of Panjim (Panaji) and central to the North and South Goa. There are taxis, autorickshaws and buses that can take you where you wish to go - the beach belt, temples, waterfalls, river cruises, quiet villages untouched by time, or if you just wish to rub shoulders with the warm and welcoming people of Goa.
