Get a taste for the real Goa with a stay in the small and simple Santa Monica Hotel. This bright hotel places you within walking distance of the bazaar-like bustle of Calangute's centre, yet it is far enough away for you to be able to relax and unwind after a day immersed in the centre's sensations. Having spent the day mingling with locals and tourists in the town's many shops and stalls, or stretched out on the sandy beach in the Goan sun, refresh yourself with a dip in the cooling waters of the hotel pool before getting ready and heading out to enjoy a lively evening in one of the bars and restaurants nearby, or check out the evening entertainment at the poolside bar. This is a great base for couples looking for value for money and a friendly atmosphere to return to after days exploring Goa.
