Hi Billy1972 Why not do a 2centre holiday?we stay in the North for the 1st part of the holiday
then move down South and chill out for the 2nd part,The North may be more suitable for your
son though as its busy there.

north - definately , i sometimes find the north a little quiet at night and i dont go clubbing etc.

if its your first time then id be even more positive about it, try somewhere in candolim so its not hectic and you can then decide how lively you want it ;)

go north, it was my first time, and i loved it , cnt wait to go again, ah im sure some of you are saying she didnt try the south so she cant say if she likes it more then the north, you right in a way , but i go by what hubbie says , he should know it was his 13th or was that 14th time in goa, and hes been all over it and would only go north now , and hes never let me down yet in his judge ment so im sticking to north,

Have been to both north and south and personaly prefer the south, however for first time would recommend the north, but april! to hot and humid

I have also been to the north and the south, depends what you prefer, cavelossim in the south is fairly quiet but still has enough there and enough eating places for you to try somewhere different each night for a fortnight. I also like Candolim in the North, where you can choose to go to the very lively bit (Beach Road) or go somewhere slightly calmer at the Sinquerim end

i travelled down south last year and stayed just the one night. I hadnt booked in advance but found somewhere to stay quite easily. Our taxi driver recomended the sau domingoe in Cavelosim. Just around the corne from Mikes Place where we had a brilliant meal. I was only there for the one night as i had travelled down for a day on a different beach then went on one of Bettys boat trips the next day before heading back north. I suppose its just what you feel more comfortable with. I always think if your face to face its easier to get a reduction in price !

South Goa... any day of the year, but then again, I'm a Salcettecar! :D

South Goa especially the Margao area is pretty good for links to places kile Dudghsagar, Bigfoot and some quiet beaches.

Oh how I remember when Palolem was a deserted paradise... :cry

just returned from south goa,only ended up there because our pre-booked guesthouse in calangute decided to charge us an extra 1700rupps a night on top of the price on the booking form.which of course we did not pay,but it left us with no accomadation over xmas and new year.we headed down to colva,got a room for 12 nights then onto benualim for 13 nights,,,,we are so glad we went south,everything you need,and we would definatley choose south over north.

I prefer North Goa. I do like visiting South Goa for a day here and there but thats it.
There isnt enough for me to do and I find the North so much more vibrant.

I love the North, I like the vibrance and hustle and bustle, although we like a few days chilling in the huts at Palolem. Last year we had a 36 hour delay at the end of our holiday and were put in a hotel in Betalbatim in the South, for me it had no character or atmosphere around there and I would never choose there for a holiday.
