Hi Superking and welcome to the Goa Forum. Can't answer about your hotel because I've never stayed there but know where it is - plenty of taxi's outside to take you into Baga / Calangute - the closest two places for you if you are looking for restaurants, bars and night clubs. A kings beer costs 30 rups in bars, a bit more in restaurants and some shacks, a case of 12 kings costs 175 rups from the local wine shop. There are plenty of ATM's in and around the Calangute area so withdrawing cash is not a problem. Plenty of lively bars and clubs in Baga and Calangute (although this season is quieter than past ones). Most bars stay busy until midnight then people move onto the clubs afterwards. Baga Road and Tito's Lane are probably your best bet with lots of places to choose from. Money wise you should have enough with 700, the cost of living is cheaper than European Tourist destinations. Lots of trips out available but rather than book through your Rep see if you can get a local taxi driver to take you....save money!! No injections are mandatory when entering Goa but you may want to have them for your own peace of mind, same with Malaria tabs. Still plenty of Mossies around now despite the cold evenings. Weather in March is hot during the day and warm and humid at night. The current cold snap here should (hopefully) have passed by the time you get here. Shopping consists mainly of beach wear (sarongs, sun dresses, kaftans etc) on the stalls and shops in the tourist areas but there are also smaller boutique type shops where size 12's are sometimes catered for. Om Sai is good for mens Jeans and T-shirts (they import from Thailand)
Hope you find all this info useful....have a great holiday

we have reviews of the Palmarhina here and a thread here. Information on malaria and on money can be found in the stickies.
Flights are discussed in their own forum and you can find the thread for first choice here.
That should keep you going for a while :D

Hi Superking
try Day Trippers for excursions cheaper than hotel/holiday reps and good value you can look them up on the net, dont know if any one answered the question re fags 200 superkings in the supermarket are around £7.50 and £6.50 in the duty free shop at the airport. You can get clothes to fit size 12 easily, you can even have them made to measure at reasonable prices, would recommend Om Sai husband, son and male friends have all bought stuff from there including DC trainers which are pretty good value. Would recommend taking a cardigan or a fleece as sometimes (not often it can feel a bit chilly at night) but most of the time you wont need it. Hope you have a great time.
