I thought this one would make a useful read for newcomers to Goa. What about the Goa regulars giving us their favourites in Goa?
hotel/accomodation
restaurant
bar
shack
local drink
Goan food
and their best tip for Goa?
I would join in but with only 6 days experience I'm not a "regular"
Our favourites are
Hotel - Sunset Beach Candolim
Restaurant - Inferno
Bar - New Moon (we used to like the Countryside Inn until management change)
Shack - Sam's Paradise
Food - Butter Chicken with a minty nan
Drink - Blue Ribbon Gin
Best tip - Go with an open mind, relax and just go with the flow
