Cool Hotels in Goa

skinnylizard · Aug 31st, 2006, 17:29

well i have been looking to go in for the weekend of 8thNov-11th Nov.
i thought of checking out the usual suspects like Fort Aguada etc but all the Taj properties are booked solid. Only thing i was getting was Hyatt which was 21k for the weekend.
someone told me of Casa Britona which is kind of like a heritage property, not the most luxurious but a better experience. thats the kinda thing i am looking to do.

any ideas?

have a look in Alastair Sawday's web page Special places to Stay in India's section you'll find some examples like:

Hotel Nilaya Hermitage in Arpora

Those are just beach huts, not a heritage house/hotel.

we went to presa de goa last season to eat although we didnt stay there the rooms look good although a bit pricey,the guy who runs it is very pleasant you will need transport but its not far from the beaches by bike a good choice to stay.

HI all..

I have been trying unsuccessfully to book a room in a nice three/four star hotel in GOA for christmas.. I fear I am too late as everything is booked.

If i am more flexible about my accommodations do you think i can just show up from the airport and find something on the fly?

Many thanks for any advice you can give!
