I would like to get some suggestions on some good hotels in Goa near the airport. It doesn't necessarily have to be right next to the airport, some distance is fine, but the traveling distance should be decent something like 20 minutes drive max, and the hotel should be of a good standard. I am looking at a hotel which is in the range of between Rs2500 - Rs3800.
Believe me, Rahi Coral Resort at Calangute was a good pick when we last visited in 2014 from Kolkata and booked the property after google search. Go for their second property opposite to the football ground. Wide variety of buffet breakfast, although we did not have main course of food in the hotel. They have their booking office at Thane. Some Manish Shinde is the marketing guy.
