Cannot beat personal reccomendation.
We ended up doing something a bit different last season and indeed spending a lot more than usual on acommodation.
Five days in the South which due to the delay turned out to be 4 and then 10 days in a little boutique place in Candolim which was expensive but my OH loved.
Gave us a completely different experience to our usual Goan holiday.
Lots of choices now for all budgets in Goa.
