First of all, congratulations to all you Goa regulars for an excellent forum ; lots of information and fun to read as well.!

Me and my missus are planning our first trip to Goa this year. All the resorts look good, spoiled for choice really. Maybe there's
one you guys could recommend for us............

We're fifty-something, though young-at-heart. !! but well past our clubbing and disco days, still well up for a few beers, a bit of craic and a laugh. Where would be best, Candolim, Calangute, Baga, Arpora ??

Thanks for the info,
LJ

Re: Which Resort.??

well i would say for first time Calangute but somewhere around by St Anthonys chapel,as its the quieter part but walking distance to cal town and two minutes in a taxi to candolim ,near the Mapusa rd,and 5 mins to Baga,plenty of taxis available,bread and cake shop, bars,restaurents,etc

I second what dragon just said. We are going for our third time and stay at the Osborne just opposite St Anthonys. In a quiet bit but only a few minutes away from the livlier areas. We are 47 and 52 if that helps.

55 and 58(but like you,young at heart and mind) and we still prefer Baga,Yes it is busy and a bit chaotic,but we can always find peace and quiet a short walk or taxi ride away.This will be our 14th time,each year we say we will have a break from Goa next year,but we start getting withdrawal symptoms as soon as we get home! :cheers

Re: Which Resort.??

We are 55 and 62 here so you are in good company

I would agree with dragon too. We stay in the St. Anthony's Chapel area, close to the beach. It's definitely a quieter part of town but not too far away from a bit of action when you want it and easy to get from to either Baga or Calangute main street or to Candolim.

I prefer Candolim for restaurants though.

Have stayed down at Candolim a couple of times but somehow missed the buzz of Calangute :que

Re: Which Resort.??

Same as posters above..Calangute. Osborne you can just cross the road ..down the track to really good shacks too. As you come off the track onto the beach...Fishermans is on the right (run by Tony)..and on the left Buddha Bar (Sylvester his brother!) Mira or Colonial de Braganza are ok too...right 'in' Calangute but just in side street.

Re: Which Resort.??

Thanks Pieeater, .......I take it that's the Carvery place in Candolim you mean? Been reading about it on the forum, sounds like a great idea, We'll definitely check it out.
Silver Angel, looks like its pretty unanimous for Calangute, from the replies we've seen.! We're busy checking out deals and hotels, hopefully
get booked soon. Roll on November....!

PS = Sorry for the delay in posting reply, been working away.

Cheers, LJ

Re: Which Resort.??

Have a great holiday wherever you decide to book Lucky Jim

I agree with the others above, calangute/ candolim... but nothing is far away anyway , the resorts all lead into one another and are walking distance from each other really...look forward to perhaps meeting you one wednesday at the carvery meets
