Hotels

Goa has every kind of lodging, from super-exclusive posh resorts to beachside shacks appropriate only for beach bums and seen-it-all globe-trotters. Expect to get what you pay for, however, especially during peak season, from December to February, when the tourist hordes fill the hotels. Make sure you reserve a room far in advance of this time. During the monsoon season (June–October), prices drop by up to half and the resorts fill up with Indian visitors from the North. Unless noted otherwise, hotels have air-conditioning, TVs, and bathrooms with showers.
