Hey Rachel
Greetings from Hong Kong !
Being an indian i have never been to Goa before :P and now finally i am going there, your blog is awesome and helpful.
I am going for a short trip of 3 days and wanted to stay in a bit downtown / lively area, so calangute & Baga area is in my mind.

Please suggest if any good hotel you recommend along with my preference of stay in those area is good or not.
Thanks

Sam

In reply to Paul Smith. Hey Paul, Goa's great in the monsoon. I Hope you love it - check out this post which has what's open in the monsoon. For dental, calangute dental clinic is good as as well as smile factory next to Snips.

Hi Rachel – enjoyed reading your article and have booked the Shanti Morada for this weekend on the back of this. I know it’s Monsoon season but great deals and living in Dubai it’ll be good to see some rain, chill and escape the party scene! Are there any places that are really good during this time? Also, heard a lot about Dental treatment being good there and good value so do you have any recommendations? Many Thanks Paul

Hi Rachel
I’m looking for somewhere to stay for my partner and I over the Christmas period. Being so busy a lot of places are getting booked up but we are looking for somewhere near to the party side of it but not right in the thick of it. I.e. still relaxing and not too expensive. Any tips?

I stayed at the Mayfair Hideaway Spa Resort in South Goa and LOVED IT. It was literally paradise. It was perfect for us because we just wanted a relaxing, secluded get-away. They were right on the bay and it seriously looked like the movies- surrounded by jungle and peeking out at the Arabian sea- incredible view. They have a pool, library, bar with delicious Fenny drinks, and a library with books and DVDs. I definitely recommend 10/10 for anyone going to Goa for a chill experience.

I haven’t stayed there but I know it and it’s a good spot… my fave is jamboree it’s definitely more hippy but it’s not right on the beach

Love this blog – thank you. My partner and I are visiting Goa for a week in early Dec, its our first trip to Goa! We are wanting to stay in a boutique ‘hippy’ type accommodation, close enough to the beach, restaurants and nightlife, but far enough away that is its not too loud and crowded. We are thinking of staying at the Little Palm Grove Resort – have you been, any advice?

Very informative, thank you! I’ve been to India many, many times, but this will be my first visit to Goa. I’m going in July and know that its monsoon time. Any recommendations of what to do specifically for that time?

In reply to Raquel. Raquel, I'm not understanding the question. If you click through the links to the booking sites linked, it is the real price.

Raquel — Wed, 11 Jan 2017 12:01:28 +0000

Hello. Im afraid to book the prices are to good to be real, is this true? If im booking through you the price is really this one? **

In reply to Maryna Trusova. The elephants are in Ponda, inland so you won't want to stay there. It's a day trip. The place is called Sahakari Spice Farm. If you are only coming for a few days, you might want to stay at a beach near Panjim.

Hi Rachel,

I will only be in Goa for a few days and really want to interact with elephants (not ride necessarily, bathe and pet, etc.) and also spend a day on a gorgeous relaxed beach. Where would you advise I stay, and in what area, to experience both of these things?

Thanks!
