Royal Heritage Hotel, Calangute

Advantages: Literally something for everybody
Disadvantages: Not enough time in a holiday to eat through every menu

...to eat our way through it all. If you are a sun worshipper (Most people who go to Goa are) then you will want to find an eating place near to, or on the Beach. Well here is the good news………… The BEACH-SHACK proprietors normally own the array of sun beds. Beach Shacks are proverbial ‘Oasis in the desert’. There are hundreds of them dotted along the coastline. They are shacks constructed from bamboo cane with coconut leaf roof and walls. They all sell Ice cold drinks and the most wonderful food. My Lovely wife and I spent most of our three-week holiday at ‘Aggies’ Shack, which is just at the bottom of the Goan Heritage Road, Calangute. (Just hang a left when you reach the beach, walk about 50 meters and you’ll find it) They had just taken on a new Chef.

Advantages: Lovely staff, 2 swimming pools, free gym, great evening food and close to both shops and beach.
Disadvantages: Basic furniture, noisy air-conditioning units, poor breakfasts and quite busy area.

...Desperate for a warm holiday, booking last minute and needing a bargain - my partner and I settled for a B&B deal at the Kamat complex in Calangute.

Advantages: Cheap, Wonderful people, Good food, Plenty to See, Weather
Disadvantages: Poverty, Mosquitoes

...A truely amazing place, certainly a must for anyone that wants great weather, excellent food and drink at super prices. My girlfriend and I went for my birthday in January this year and completely fell in love with the place. We stayed at a 2 star hotel the middle of Calangute which was clean and tidy if basic with a few mod cons, air-conditioning, tv and a fridge/mini-bar containing reasonably priced beers, water, soft drinks and breezers. People we had spoken too previously had said Calangute centre was too busy for them, but for a youngish couple that generally enjoy people watching, eating and drinking of a night it is ideal and very cheap.
