There are few sights to beat the tranquil deep blue River Mandovi as she greets you with the morning sun slanting off her sparkling water. Canny guests of Panaji Residency select the river facing rooms well in advance and they all agree that there is something about this view that makes them come back to this hotel time after time.

Maybe it's the view; maybe it's the people who keep this hotel and its 45 rooms running efficiently; maybe it's the easy availability of a business centre on the ground floor; the shopping arcade, Aparant the handicrafts store with only Goan handicraft items made by Goan artists on display; maybe its beauty parlour.

Or it could be Ruchira the multi-cuisine restaurant that serves a mouth watering array of delicious fare and the best liquors at its well-stocked bar. A definite sign about the quality of food in an establishment would be the percentage of locals who have their meals there. Ruchira always has a large number of local Panjimites queuing up a meal. You cannot fool the Goan foodie. If he comes back to a restaurant, you know the food is great.

Guests say it's a combination of everything that makes Panjim Residency hard to beat. This comes from 40 years of providing a home away from home for innumerable guests, right in the centre of the most happening city of Goa - its capital Panjim.

This river changes constantly with fishing craft bouncing restlessly at the jetty across the water, a passenger ferry chugging across from beautiful Betim to the capital city, occasionally a barge will sail importantly down the river laden with its red gold of iron ore and beautiful yachts from all over the world touch base at the Panjim Jetty to rest and refuel their energy for another adventure across the seven seas
