Candolim stopover for a few days.
So far as hotels in the area go Silver Sands Sunshine is perfectly nice and value for money. Most of the tourism in the area is geared for older Brits and there are a lot of return visitors. There dont seem to be so many clubs etc for younger people but there is plenty of good live entertainment (the hotels was good) and karaoke if thats your thing. Food in the area was typical for what we've found throughout India which is simply, stick to local Indian food and keep it vegetarian. Western dishes and meat dishes were invariably disappointing including at this hotel.
Alcohol is expensive here; cheaper than Mumbai but about 50% more expensive than southern Goa. Similar maybe slightly less than in the UK. Take a kettle if you want tea/coffee in your room.
Talking to repeat visitors we learned that the bathrooms were all refurbished. They were clean and better than a lot that we saw. The rooms at the front could use a net curtain as that level is directly opposite a bar so we had the curtains closed most of the time. Noise wise, India is noisy. Candolim is no exception but it wasn't so bad as it was quite early in the season when we were there.
The beaches were pretty clean - especially compared with streets and towns in general which are horrifying in terms of litter - and we could see people collecting plastic etc to sell for recycling. The beach huts are good. We walked a bit further to get to Doms which was a little bit quieter but worth the effort.
