Hotels - There are good hotels to stay in goa to name a few which i know are
Taj Exotica Goa
Marriot Goa Resort
The Leela Goa

and so on, there are other cheaper hotels as well. But the most cheapest place to stay are the rooms offered by the locals out there, they let the rooms in thier houses which compared to Hotels is much Cheaper if you planning to go on a long visit.

Candolim Beach - you should visit White Horse Shack you all will have a great time there.

Advantages: Relatively unspoiled, freindly, great value for money Disadvantages: None, really
...of the classier hotels have theme nights and special buffets and it is really worth checking them out. They're not at all prissy about admitting guests from rival establishments. As you would expect there are loads of places for Thai massage and it's worth trying out at least some of the other treatments as well. The foot massage is an experience that I wouldn't have missed.
The island is small and can be circumnavigated quite convincingly in a day. If you have the chance, opt for a 'private' tour and not the usual coach excursion. Our driver was extremely knowledgeable and we had a great time during the drive. We also got to visit a couple of places not on the general tour.
If anyone has been to Goa, especially around Calangute or Candolim then you will know what Koh Samui is like. I was constantly struck by the resemblances.
All in all...
