Hi Gramps,
This paper tells "porkies", there is also an article under their property section called Filthy Lucre - and that says we can purchase property in Goa when we have done our 182 days. It fails to say that the Register is closed to FN and people are only getting tourist visa's, and others are being asked to leave Goa

Am I missing out on flights from Newcastle and especially at £299. Mans an idiot.
Unless theres some cheap Emirates flights , which have just started this month - but I doubt it.

Obviously theres been some good research, is Goa not downmarket for The Sunday Times

Here's a link if you want to read the article,can't afford the newspaper-

5 or 6 weeks ago i booked for goa after receiving an offer by e-mail, i couldn't refuse from coop travelshops. a total of £360 per person for 14 nights B&B at the osbourne in calangute. i admit its not my first choice of hotel, but for that price, i don't care!!

Really sorry colleen, but we got ours £3 cheaper each than you, at £276. Bit their hand off when they told me the price. Well, who could refuse at that price! Staying at Somy Resorts in Calangute. Got it off Thomas Cook web site. Unfortunately, for others, it seems they have all gone at that price now.

I'm missing out as well Alan !, could be because I won't stay in Calangute, has anyone got a deal like this for anywhere in the south ?

We went 2 years ago just before Xmas for £279. Booked it about a month before. That was before they introduced all the add on charges though like £60 fuel supplement.

It was a named hotel too and had free AC ! we had a great time. Better still we had originally booked Cancun which cost a lot more but a hurricane flattened the hotel a month before we were due to go so we got our money back. It was a hasty last minute thing but worked out well. Goa cost a bit more this year though.

Sounds fine then Sim and a great bargain which makes it even better :D I like to know where I am going tho and know what the place is like. I would imagine there are a lot of dodgy places to stay in Goa and I personally wouldnt take the chance, but each to ones own :D
