  • Beach huts, Colomb Beach, near Palolem Beach, Goa. Most of the accommodations at Palolem are cabanas such as these, although not all of them are built onto the rocks like these. Nearly all of them are built anew at the beginning of the tourist season and dismantled in April or May before the summer monsoon hits. The torrential rain and high water of these storms would likely tear them apart otherwise, and Goa's government wants to keep the hotels here small-scale and simple. They're also generally very reasonably priced.

  • Canacona is an administrative region in south Goa, in India. Canacona's beach belt, 'discovered' by tourism only after the 1990s, is among the most scenic. Palolem is a milder recreation of an east-meets-west Goan beach, with a rich variety of exotic food. Canacona is one part of Goa where hillocks jut out almost directly into the sea. Villages are tucked away in low-lying areas, which are carpeted by a sea of green-topped coconut trees. Until foreign migration and tourism came to this area, the coconut tree was the means by which many eked a living, apart from fishing.

Although the rooms are basic they are clean & the WiFi is good . The hosts are wonderful and will help in anyway they can we were given a kettle and hairdryer when requested. We also hired a scooter from them at a very reasonable rate. The beach front can be loud up till about 11pm at times . We personally found it great to be just a minute away and it was more peaceful . Definitely recommend

Fantastic owners, amazing location

The owners were fantastic, really lovely and welcoming and can help with advice for places to eat and go. Water and soft drinks you can buy from the fridge in your room at good rates make the trip very easy and is one less thing to worry about! Value for money and location is fantastic - it is a basic room but that’s all you need with all of the bars and restaurants on your doorstep

My first stay in Goa!

I had a lovely stay and this was my first introduction to Goa! The hosts are very friendly, always greeted with a smile, and they will do what they can to make your stay as comfortable as possible. A kettle and coffee was put in my room when asked what I like to drink in the morning, and the fridge was well stocked with cold soft drinks. Lovely peaceful private balcony to sit on. Good shower facilities and comfy big double bed. I had a palm view room. The property is well located. Very central for shops and just a couple of minutes walk to the beach. Thank you for a friendly, happy, relaxing and comfortable stay!

Fabulous homestay type guesthouse about 50 metres from wonderful Palolem Beach. Lovely clean rooms with balcony. Lovely friendly family owners who will help you with whatever you need. Great eating places nearby and Dreams of Palolem bungalows opposite has a wonderful friendly beach bar with great friendly staff that surprisingly come from Nepal.
