What I wanted, and : what the hotel offered - 1. Close to a great beach (within walking distance, to get rid of the taxi hassles) : this hotel is about 5-10 min walk from Cavelossim beach. bullseye 2. Reasonable tariff : very competitve rates, maybe because it was 'off season'? nevertheless, it was at least 25-30% cheaper than the... More
