Cant help you but what a coincidence, was gonna post similar query myself.
headin over on Dec 8th, second time this year and would also love to visit south so would be very grateful for any advise.
thanks everyone

Feb 2008 we stayed at Palolem at http://www.hitidecocohuts.com
400rps for hut on stilts
800rps for hut with attached bath
1500rps for hut with attached bath and space for extra bed.

Personally, if you are just going for one night, then just get the huts on stilts.
If you have anyone with prostrate or digestive problems then go for the attached bath, otherwise there is no reason to pay more money.

Costs are consireably increased over New Year. There is also huts at Agonda beach, but if you have teenagers, they would probably prefer the waves and company at Palolem.

hi
ive just had a nose at them huts and they look great......so great i might just think about going down there for a night or 2 myself....how long does it take to get there and could i just go and hope there would be a hut available or book in advance?
also if i leave the hotel room empty will my stuff be safe whilst i am not there?

angie xx

Thanks Lisa
Whats best way to get to Plaolem from Baga/Calangute do you know?
Is there enough to do there to spend 2 nights, adults only.

Thread Highjack only kidden
thanks Lisa, if you got the bus where would you get off to go to these huts, and how long does it take from calangute,any idea?

Will probably go in Jan but i know my youngest was a bit reluctant last year when i said about staying in a beach shack,the young adventures eh

Baga to Palolim is about 2 hours in a taxi if I remember correctly. In February we paid 800 rupes to get their and 900 to get back. There is plenty to occupy you for a few days, it is not the quiet beach that it was a few years ago. Well worth a visit though. We have been a few times and never pre book huts as the are plenty available.

By bus you would need to go to Panjim then change for Margao and then from Margao catch the bus to Palolem.

As I was going to Mumbai for 4 days (but not now as my insurance won't cover me) are the beach huts more of a romantic setting or okay for a single person just wanting to see more of Goa? Just looking for something else to do if I feel the need!

The huts are great for both.......I describe them as camping on stilts (not all are on stilts) and really are a great experience.
