North and South Goa for 2 weeks in Nov07 - life's a beach - where to go?

Hello

We are travelling to Goa in November 07 and I have found this site the best for tips so far. Can anyone recommend some locations in the south and north, preferably nice beach hut/tree hut style accommodation (verandahs, hammocks etc)?

A few questions:
Will we need a/c in November?
Should we pre-book for this time of year or will it be easy to wing it and get nice accommodation?
Does anyone have links to places worth a look?

We're looking for nice beach huts ideally, on beaches that are not too packed with tourists but not a million miles away from the action.
Planning on a week in the north and a week in the south.
So far I am thinking Palolem (too touristy?), Patnem, Agonda in the south and Morjim, Mandrem, Chapora in the north.

Budget no more than 2000-2500 rupees per night in total for the pair of us.

Any advice on the above or new ideas would be greatly appreciated

Thanks!
