hi all
hope someone can advise..
have had a look at the hotel reviews and still none the wiser.
i am thinking of going on my own this march and have found the 2 above accomadations for roughly £650 for 2 weeks.
ive been to goa twice before and normally stay around baga/calangute area.would anyone have any additional info re:these 2 hotels as to which would be the better?i have been to candolim but not really arpora.
are they roughly the same distance from baga?any advice would be great.
thanks rob
Lagoa Azul is a great hotel but it's in Arpora which is a mile or so from beaches. The Silver Sands is in the heart of Candolim, very close to the beach.
They are both great hotels but the locations very different. If you want to be near the beach and a great selection of restaurants, I'd go for Silver Sands. If that's not important, the Lagoa Azul is probably the nicer hotel.
Don't know if that helps or confuses you more. Hope not!

Hi Robbie don,t know about Lagoa Azul but Silver Sands position is brilliant , but from people i spoke to say its quite basic. but you are right near the beach and main beach road in candolim couldnt want a better position if you just want to eat drink and sunbathe on the beach.

The 'Azul' is way before the Ingo Market, nearer the M Dourada.
I would say that the accomodation would be better. The SS is fine but very basic, very near the beach.
Azul is in a quieter location and great if you like exploring, depends how much you like the beach. If you don't mind getting a Taxi Baga isn't that far. I like that area around the Baga river personally but may be limited for restaurants (unless they have been going building crazy... good chance!).
Candolim is getting busy these days so it's up to your personal taste.

just to throw another spanner in the works i came across the avantika in calangute which would be a prime location,in the middle of everything!so just gonna read some reports on that as that seems to be swinging the decision at the mo...

Calangute would be the busiest of all the resorts. Lagoa Azul is a lovely hotel, although SS is probably more central. However, only 5 mins in a taxi from Lagoa Azul to the beach or Baga/Calangute to all the restaurants and shopping.
thanks gemma33
im gonna forget the s/s and pick between lagoa and avantiki...the avantiki for location but not sure if its gonna be too noisy??
the lagoa as it does look great just need to find some info on the single rooms?
both seem to have all the amenites in the rooms.
ill mostly be going to baga beach so its just a choice between the 2 now.
thanks for your help

Sorry Robbie dont know much about the avantiki so cant comment, but as I say Lagoa Azul is lovely. Five minutes itself from the main road, so nice and quite, but with plenty of taxis outside the hotel. Also, if you are planning on spending your days at baga beach area then Lagoa Azul is only 5 mins in a taxi or there might be a courtesy bus from the hotel.
Avantiki might be a bit more noisy if its in Calangute, but I guess it depends on the location within Calangute.
Good luck, let us know what you decide on

You'll not regret choosing the Lagoa Azul, there are some great restaurants and bars in Arpora, its about £1 in a taxi to Baga and there is a free shuttle bus to Baga during the day. We're off on the 18th Jan for 2 weeks - can't wait - happy holidays

Yep Robbie, we're stayuing at the Lagoa Azul, 2nd time, 3rd time in Arpora - there is a real village feel, you are mixing with locals - it's definately not touristy in the village - great atmosphere - very friendly
