Hi folks, I was hoping someone could give me a bit of basic advice on a trip to Goa. Myself and a friend are planning to go for 3 weeks in September 2011. We have no idea about the place except that it's supposed to be amazing.
Here's our situation and what we're looking for:
2 males, mid 40's but exceptionally young in spirit. Being Irish we like bars a lot and we intend to visit as many as possible! We might even want to chase girlies too!!
In an ideal situation we'd like to find a beach house or very similar in an area that is quite busy and convenient. The closer to the beach the better. On the beach would be fantastic and an apartment complex 10 mins from the beach isn't going to do it for us I'm afraid.
We don't want to have to get taxis every time we want to go out so location is important. We want to be close to good entertainment and within drunken staggering distance from where we're staying!
I know September is monsoon season but we don't care about that. It'll make a change to have warm rain!!
Anyone had a trip like this? Any specific accomodation you can recommend that fits the above criteria?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks
Chris
Not much help but the the monsoon is not as romantic as it sounds. It's hot, wet and lots of the places are closed, not many "girlies" to chase as they will be mostly at home in Europe and the Indian ones who will be there are not for chasing.
Lots of places of entertainment, except a couple of discos will not be open, mostly restaurants and a few bars. Beach shacks will be scarce at that time of year.
Wait a couple of months and your choices will be far more.

The other thing to add is that you will have to take scheduled flights via Mumbai or Doha as the chartered flights don't start until November.
The beaches will be open but there will be few people on them and very few, if any Europeans. There will be no shacks constructed for your visit in September.
Not a good month for drinking, socialising or chasing girlies!
Could you not go in-season from Nov-April?

Goa really may not be the place for you.
Try Thailand and in particular Pattaya. For what you seem to be looking for it would be perfect.
Goa from November to April for a chilled out holiday.
Thailand all year round for well.............. whatever you want really.
Good luck
