I did think the resort seemed a bit cleaner this year. We actually saw the garbage collectors picking rubbish up from the surrounding area but I have to say I think most of the rubbish is left on the beach by domestic tourists, it was quite common to see them dropping litter as they walked along the beach. There is plenty to keep you entertained in the evening, fantastic restaurants, you are spolt for choice as cheap or expensive as you want. Expensive is not expensive as in English terms more like normal English prices. There are also plenty of bars and clubs on CSM road in Baga. Things on the beach this year were horrendous as far as sunbeds were concerned. We couldn't use our normal shack as the law about 10 sunbeds to a shack is now very strictly adhered to which seems ridiculous as the shacks are losing out on business big time. Some people hardly spend anything in the shacks so if they are stuck with this kind of customer they don't make much money. I can see them all charging for sunbeds in the future. We will definately visit Goa again, have already booked, but this time are going to Candolim.

baga calangute and candolim all have their charms and i think their is something for everyone. good mix of bars and restaurants both upmarket and down to earth at varying prices but still all good value for money. (about a third of the price of uk)beaches are clean and now have a full range of the usual water sports. jet skis,bananas doughnuts and parascending. lots of different beach shacks (Big banana was brilliant) offering excellent food and drinks and entertainment. go 3/4 of an hour up the coast in a taxi (1000 rupees for day) to mandorem beach and it has 2 beach shacks. about 30 sunbeds and deserted beach for a couple of miles either way and no beach sellers which is a big bonus.

Our visit to the beach was made enjoyable as we frequented Aggie's Cafe beach shack whose staff not only kept the beach vendors at bay but also provided an amazing service and delicious food.Calangute itself is as manic as ever but that is part of its charm !

Very clean and if you tip the room boys a few hundred rupees they will realy look after you. The entertainment wasnt up to much, but then again we were there during the cricket world cup and Holi festival so there was plenty to do. Baga beach is a ten minute walk down titos lane. We will certainly be visiting again

Calangute in the last 5 years has turned into a rubbish tip - piles of rubbish all over the place-along with increased traffic with the constant horn blowing this is no longer a pleasant town the beach seems more crowded and with huge contingents of Indian tourists arriving for festivals and weekends -mainly young men from Mumbi and Bangalore making use of the cheap alcohol prices and lapse Goan drink laws.
As you got away from the steps onto Calangute beach the beach shacks were quieter and more pleasant -but you still had to contend with the constant stink of jetski fuel as they rushed along the bay just a few metres from the shoreline - I fear a fatality is unavoidable unless these are controlled.
Baga beach was more pleasant as was Candolim Calangute I'm afraid is a death like the cow on the beach who keeled over in front of us stomach unable to take anymore plastic

calangute is getting cleaner it would help if they put more bins around but saying that the cows would eat them .we have seen a lot of changes in calangute for the better where cleanliness is concerned . should be like the uk if you drop litter you get fined the goverment would make a fortune .there are loads of entertainment make your own in the bars always someone to talk to. you can walk into most of the hotels and make you welcome try the english bar next to the sports ground also used as car park try corins corner for breakfast do lovely fat chips bottom of road opp fish market .the shacks on the beach are very good but you will pay more for a meal some short cuts to the beach behind the shacks are rubbish tips that need to be cleared .the beaches are supurb it good that thy put matting down stops your feet from burning .would i visit calangute again yes have been for 18 years off&on from a womans point of view you can feel safe thats what i like about goa

Calangute stinks, it's very dusty and dirty. The choice of eating places is great and varied, the people are fantastic but will rip you off given half a chance. It's our 10th vist to calangut / candolim and we ask ourselves why on earth do we keep going back, it's a place you either love or hate, we certainly don't hate it. Be prepared for 2 star hotels to be dirty, basic and uncomfortable. Read reviews before booking. We like at and will be back, there's plenty to see in Calangut.

The resort is excellent. Beaches are clean.
Although you are asked to buy things from all the sellers along the roads and on the beaches, you can just walk on or ask them to leave you alone. On the beaches if you are on the sunbeds of a shack, the shack boys will ask them to move along.
There are lots of opportunities fo trips and they are all worthwhile and very good value for money.
Although we were there at the end of the season, we still had a great time.
