Funky is the first word that comes to ones mind on entering the 15-year-old Falcon Resorts. Painted all yellow and blue on the outside, the interiors burst with walls painted in mismatched colours, antique lamps and murals. Old doors are hung up on walls for decoration, palm fronds wave lazily in the Goan breeze, while a wooden Falcon (what else!) set to take flight is suspended at the reception. The resort winds around a guitar shaped swimming pool, which is lined by swaying, tall coconut trees that complement the tawny shade. A basket hangs over the edge of water, Elvis Presley plays on the radio, its all very laidback. The resort is well equipped for a comfortable stay too, run by a friendly Goan couple for whom hospitality is not business but a way of life. The rooms are crazy, each wall painted a different primary colour. All the rooms are very spacious and most are adorned with antique furniture the hotel is so unpredictable, the design of rooms of the same category varies too. For instance, one of the Conventional rooms comes with a loft which can accommodate 4 more people. Two double beds rest here with a table fan and the ceiling slopes down, painted a vibrant blue. This room is ideal for families, however a not of caution - the staircase to the loft is quite steep, so those with a fear of heights need to watch out.
