palolem accomodation in september

chris64 · Sep 3rd, 2006, 17:10

Hi there i was just wondering if much accomodation will be open on palolem beach at the end of september, i arrive on the 27th also what will the beach be like for swimming
cheers chris

There will be plenty of accomodation available at this time, though the beach huts may not be erected as yet, there are plenty homestays which are vrry close to the beach though, so if you don't get that idylic beach hut, you'll at least get a room very close to the beach!
Palolem is excellent for swimming and by the end of September the beach should be levelling out after the ravages of the monsoon storms so no problem there.

Thanks for that i hoped things would just be opening up by then
if any one can reccomend a place to stay that would be great
i like some where close to the beach but with plenty of privacy have heard sevas huts are good around neptunes point
cheers

Trust me on this
ordosounsar@rediff.com are the best beach huts ive seen tucked away on its own across a small bridge the privacy you get is only interupted by the odd monkey that come out of the forest that is right behind you a wonderfull place with wonderfull food thats why im going back again in jan try there web site www.ordosounsar.com keeping my fingers crossed for you that there open for you

I'm betting this place won't be on it's own for long!!

ssharonuk · Sep 10th, 2006, 16:03

well lets make the best of it then

Most definitely!!
It looks nice, where is it, the North end of the beach???? I remember seeng the sign but I'm not sure where it is!! Sorry to be so negative I've just watched Palolem expand into every nook and cranny over the last 9 years I expect this to continue until there's no space left

hi ya cyber
Yes its right at the north end of the beach theres a man made bridge you cross and then nothing but chill out and when the lagoon is full they supply a boat for you to paddle down and take a look theres only 10 huts but the place where its situated is just awsome and the monkeys are a real treat lol
i hope that they stop some of the expansion of palolem or theyll spoli one of the worlds best beaches
one of the reasons im gonna give gokarna a lookover

The beaches at Gokarne are what Palolem used to look like!! Imagine if you will, a Palolem that had only four restaurants and a couple of small hotels between the Archway an the island. There was a beautiful little brick built hotel on the spit of land where cosy nook now sits, with balconies facing the lagoon and island!! Nothing else for a good 40 meters south and nothing to the north, the back drop was an empty coconut grove!! ahhh the good old days!!

Yes ive seen pics of palolem and the differance is vast One of the things that really annoys me are the dammed fireworks at night that scare the shit out of the animals in the forest there
so ignorant of humans

Palolem is already spoilt. I most definitely do not regard it as one of the best beaches in the world. Om beach is far better than Palolem ever was. The view from the top of the hills has to be seen to be believed. Great beach for swimming too!
