Will stay open till end of May, will re-open September 1st
This is our longest season ever, we had our first guests on September 16th and we will stay open till end of May. So for those who are keen to see Agonda from the different perspective – most tourists will be gone end of April – beginning of May – you are very welcome to come and stay with us. And the best part of this all is that 1) Goan mango season will be on its peak 2) All our huts have air conditioners (AC) 3) Prices will be almost only one third of what they are during peak season. And that is not all, next season we are planning to open extremely early, probably we will be the first ones in Agonda. We will kick of new season September 1st. And again, good thing – Agonda still will be very quiet and the beach which is usually almost empty should be occupied only by cows and you alone! Sure there will be some rains still, but let’s hope not nonstop. And it will be incredibly green! Warning – most places will still be closed, so not so many options to eat, except Simrose restaurant. And we might not operate fully from the very begging, maybe only 90 %. Feel free to drop us an email at info@simrose-goa.com to book your hut or a room!
