Betty's place

Just been looking at :things to do in south Goa:and lots of H/T users seem to recommend Betty's various boat trips, so i was wondering how long it would take to get there from the Marina Dourada ( Apora )bearing in mind it sails at 10 am. Another thing if i decided to stay overnight (then i could go deep sea fishing at 6am the next day and the better half could do the secluded beach trip) is there any places that would do 1 night's accommodation around there.....your replies would be much appreciated thanks KJF ...(WE ARE GOING IN FEB)

You could try Sao Domingos guest house, a 5 minute taxi-ride from Bettys. Very clean and reasonable at £10 per person per night, inclusive of breakfast.

Take a look at

Hope this helps.

Hi there. Not sure whether Edwin's ups his prices at Christmas. We went in both February and April of this year and were charged £20 per room, but this is inclusive of full breakfast, aircon, refridgerator and safety deposit box. I think what he's charging is very reasonable. Also the food at the restaurant is fantastic.

Hope you have an enjoyable stay!!

Hi,
As you are staying in Candolim its a long way to Betty,s Place
its in South Goa Cavelossim and will take you about 1hr 20mins
by taxi depending on the traffic.
We stayed in Cavelossim and went on one of Betty,s boat trips
really worth going just for that[great day out] :lol:

We like going to Bettys place when we stay in south Goa, it is a nice clean place with lovely food, but we only go there because there are very few really nice places in the south, when you are in Candolim there is a much wider choice of nice places to eat, so in my opinion the 45min to 1 hour taxi ride at about 800 rupees is a waste of money

Think you might have a few die hard South lovers who disagree with you there Lynndan. What about the beach shacks? :wink

A few good eating places in the South

Try Goan Village
Mikes Place
River View
Golden Eye
some of these also have good beach shacks

Hi Adventurehound

If you look on the thread "Members Favourite Restaurants" it will give you some idea of the best places to eat in Candolim, and also other areas of Goa both north and south.

Try e mailing or phoning through their website http://www.bettysgoa.com They will be open and I would think boat trips maybe on the River Sal rather than the sea due to tides in October.
