We got this book before we went on a two week holiday to Goa and found the book to be excellent and extreemly helpful. As we had not been to Goa before, it gave us an idea of what to expect and which places to go to and what to see.
Because of this book we were able to plan what we wanted to see and managed to fit into our two week holiday a trip to Arambol staying in a coco hut on the beach, spice plantation @ Ponda, Fort Aguda, Dhudsagar Waterfalls, Old Goa, Anjuna market, Ingos Night Bazzar, Bondla Eco Tourism Park, boat trip to monkey beach - and we still had time to relax and soke up the sun!
Would definatley recommend this book to anyone who hasnt been to Goa and is thinking of going there - there is so much to do and see - it is fantastic!
The book also gave good reviews on resturants to eat at - we tried quite a few listed in the book - and we were not disappointed!

Much of the infomation is recycled from the mother book Lonely Planet India. Some facts are infact wrong, one such example is the location of Anjuna motorbike repairs. It is strange in its omisions such as the Orange Boom Cafe in Anjuna has been there for many years but is still missed out of the book. The health section will scare you to death, and it is best to remind yourself that you will have little chance of catching most things. The stories of police raids, rapes and other horrors are best glossed over if you want to stay sane. The book is very good for two week holidays for whistle-stop-tours but a little less usefull for long to very long term stays. In the case of the latter more information would be required, such as the Lonely Planet Asia & India Health book. However it is a book well worth taking along and gives a good overview of what to expect, what to go and see, and where to stay and eat.

Hopefully Lonely Planet will publish a new version of this soon. So much of the data was out of date. Things on maps weren't there, phone numbers weren't right, restaurants didn't exist.
I guess in a developing country a lot changes quite quickly, but I find it hard to believe that this book was written by someone who was actually in Goa researching the places themselves.
