the resort in emerald palms is near benaulim, a small suburb with lots of uncrowded beaches and small, traffic free roads. We took a scooter on hire for about rs 350/- per day (from 7am to 7pm). We used to ride the tree lined roads through open fields and small lanes with the wind whipping through our hair!! the beaches were so clean with minimal people, it felt as if we had a beach to ourselves. we collected shells, played with water, built sand castles. We had an awesome time. The kids were seeing the ocean for the first time and they couldnt believe their eyes. Thank you so much club mahindra.
