Been to both a few times but curious what the crowd thinks now. Hilltop feels more underground, Curlies has the beach vibes but gets crowded on weekends...
Looking for a 1BHK or studio in Anjuna/Vagator/Siolim area for 3 months starting May. What are you guys paying? Any recommendations from personal experience?
Just arrived, looking for reliable Honda Activa rental. Friend said to avoid the guys near the beach entrance. Any trusted shops with good rates?
Starting a thread for actual local spots, NOT the tourist traps. I'll start: 'Café Inn' in Mapusa for the best paneer tikka masala at ₹120, open from 7am.
Quiet lane near Gunpowder restaurant. AC, WiFi, kitchen, 24hr security. Available from April 15. Looking for long-term (3+ months). WhatsApp preferred.
Most people say avoid summer but I'm thinking of coming in late May before the monsoon hits. Is it really that bad? Still some events happening?
Spent 3 weeks testing beach huts from ₹800 to ₹3500 a night. Big difference in quality. Here's my honest comparison with names and prices...
Looking to split costs on a villa rental near Vagator for Sunburn weekend. 4 spots available, need 4 more. DM me if interested.
Lot of posts asking about cabs. Here's the current situation: Ola works in Panaji and parts of North Goa. Surge pricing is real. Better alternatives exist depending on your route and budget.
Leaving Goa in April, selling my Activa. Well-maintained, all papers clear. Located in Anjuna. Test rides welcome.
Tired of tourist prices on the beach. Looking for proper restaurant with great paneer, vegetable thali and local cuisine. Budget around ₹1500-2000 for two.
