Think you've got yourself a bargain there. We're looking for start of next Aprl and there's not much around for less than £800. I've just thought maybe your flights aren't included are they?

If it's just accommodation you are after.. have you tried ownersdirect.co.uk ?

well, i always say that if i can get 2 weeks for £500 im happy.

travel republic, otbeach and monster are all qouting less than that for march 21st for 2 weeks.

just booked 2weeks at the castlehouse for just over £400.

not many reviews around but the ones that there are seem qute good.

missed out on a couple such as santana and summerville for around the same price but im quite happy as we normally stay in candolim and im looking forward to a change of scenery for once!

plus, the barbers on the roundabout is about the cheapest ive been to!

unfortunately we are flying with monarch but will see how it goes!

We had intended getting a second trip out of our VISA's but the prices are IMO are poor value compared to other destinations. You can get an all inclusive 4* deal in Egypt for less than a 2* B&B in Goa.
Food ( and drink) for thought.

Hu bushbaby - just read your post while looking in the Goa forum, we are thinking booking Goa for xmas 09, but we have just booked 2 weeks AI to El gouna Egypt for £542 each with Direct holidays for 14th April. this is everything except transfers as we prefer to get a taxi.

Try Monarch / Cosmos. Select your chosen holiday venue hotel which will probably offer B&B but if you "continue" you will get other board options including AI. Good luck there are loads to choose from.Dave

We stayed at the castle house at the beginning of January was a good bargain £335 each for 3 weeks(but then Jan always cheap for holidays) I have put a review up the rooms are spotless with fan, A/c and TV with loads of channels english films etc as I said in the review lovely place the only drawbacks are the pool is always in the shade and the bar staff have very limited english although all friendly

The location is excellent you can get to it at the side of the Jungle Village or at the side of the Red lion just past colonia de Braganza and the sunkissed

Hi bushbaby booked it with teletext Hays Travel after I booked it looked on the net the next day and could have got it for £295 but was happy with our price anyway but as I said January is always one of the cheapest months to book anywhere

It was flying with Monarch but I really didn't care I would have flew with anything that had wings at that price

I would stay there again because I liked the location also it is a fairly new building about 18 months old i think but as i said in my review if you are a hotel/pool person than the Castle House would not be for you
