I have chosen North Goa as a holiday destination due to a friends recommendation and now I need to find a hotel there. I am ideally looking for a 3-star hotel in North Goa, which would be located close to the beach. It doesn't have to be right beside the beach but an easy travel to it. I would also like the hotel to be close to some eating places as I am not fond of eating from the hotel. My ideal budget for the hotel would be nothing more than Rs2000 per night. I would like the room view to be good and it would great to have a balcony.

I actually looked up for some pictures and information about Mandrem Beach and it really looks like a nice place to stay and spend a great time there in India, however, do you actually know about the hosting prices and that sort of thing? I would like to know how much I would have to carry with me in order to pay all I may need there.
