Hotels and Villas in Goa

It's easy enough to find a guest house or a room in Goa but you're best off avoiding the hotels as they're generally expensive and provide lousy service.

In any case, if you're coming for the Goan experience then you might as well enjoy life the way Goans have been doing for centuries, living in an old Goan house and enjoying the ambience of the tropics. Instead of being cooped up in a concrete hotel room, you could be relaxing on the porch of a house, listening to the birds sing in the mango trees, drinking a cup of coffee that you didn't have to wait for room service to bring you.

If you're staying for 3-6 months it makes sense to find your own house and sort out your own furniture, cooking stuff and maids, but if you're only going for a short time then an easy and cool option is to take a villa and enjoy your vacation in luxury.

In Goa, as elsewhere, you get what you pay for. $5000-$10,000 (or between 3000 and 5000 quid) a week will ensure you the best - great location, garden, pool if you want, chauffeur, maids, cooks and just about any other kind of service you care to name. Try Luxury Goa Villas as a good bet. Mention that you came via Goa Guide and you'll be taken well care of.
