How luxurious do you want it? The Holiday Inn is an excellent 4* hotel on Mobor Beach and is a 20 minute walk along the beach to Cavelossim which has a good selection of restaurants and shops. There are several beach shacks and a couple of restaurants within close proximity to the Holiday Inn and it's only 5 minutes by taxi into Cavelossim - taxis are cheap and plentiful. Alternatively you could look at the Leela Palace which is a 5* hotel about 5 minutes further down the beach from the Holiday Inn. I haven't stayed at the Leela but had a walk round the gardens and pool when we stayed at the Holiday Inn last year and they were beautiful.

The Marinha Dourada is a great 3* hotel at a reasonable price.

It located about 5min from Baga and 10mins from Calangute. There is a free daytime bus to Baga.

It is a very clean hotel for India without having to go to the 5* AI hotels.

There is a couple of great clubs in Baga. Titos and Mambos. I went to Mambos twice til 5am!!!
