If you hate crowds, over partying and are looking for peaceful Beach to relax and unwind go straight to: Benaulim beach or Palolem beach. URL: TajHotels.com
Here is once more beautiful Undiscovered place in Goa suggested by a gd friend: URL: Casacolvale.com
To everyone else... Don't forget to go to 'Fiesta' for atleast one dinner its run by a wonderful German lady called 'Yellow' and it serves the most yummiest Italian food its only of its kind place in Goa, Go there and eat the world's Thinnest and yummiest thin and crispy Margarita pizza and pastas.
Also worth partying at Titos, Mambo and tons of other places n North Goa in and around Anjuna Beach (buzzing with energy / people)
Some of my Fav Luxury places to stay/hang out in Goa are Taj Exotica, Taj Village, Park Hyatt, Marriott, The Leela which is in extreme south.
One of the best places (a Huge Multiplex in Goa ) to go for latest movies is INOX.....
Quick Summary for North Goa:
Restaurants - Fiesta / Little Italy / Britto's Beach ShackJust got back from a crazy month in Goa for Christmas and New Years...
24-1st was very messy with traffic and parties and it felt like most of India's youth met in one place for 7 days... season is calm though when it comes to foreign tourism and the former noice in Arambol, Morjim and Palolem are finally coming to an end with the new rules of 10pm being the latest for outside music (which is why Titos, Mambos and other wellknown clubs are now within glassdoors)... Club Cabana is closed for the season.
