Located in Goa\u2019s very South, the former insiders\u2019 tip has become increasingly popular with Indian tourists. At the same time Palolem managed to maintain its alternative atmosphere and beautiful atmosphere from paradise.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Beach Shacks and Restaurants at the Bay<\/h2>\n

Palolem is mainly a collection of beach shacks and restaurants chained along the coastline and offering an ocean view. Wide parts of the beach are largely not built-up. You only find some boats here. Right after the beach line, right under palm trees, the line of shacks and restaurants starts. Even here, you are still walking on fine, white sand.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The first row of hats has an open sea view. Even the second and maybe the third row still offer a veritable view. Some of these wooden shacks have one floor, others even two.
\nThe beach shacks are constructed for one season and get entirely removed during monsoon season. Considering this, their standard is very high. Most importantly, they have water closets and running water. They walls are only thin wooden panels, though. These beach shacks cannot be compared to hotels, they are rather simple hats.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Prices are reasonable even though they tend to vary strongly. For 20 Euro, you definitely find something here, much less in off-season.<\/p>\n

A Maze of Hotels Further Inland<\/h2>\n

A few meters off the coastline you find the first real hotels that means solid buildings with walls and quite often an AC. Most of them are smaller, quite often only 3 \u2013 6 rooms. Some of these hotels are 50 meters from the beach, others a bit farther. You can get good prices here too, 30 to 40 Euros per night.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Palolem has a kind of center and main access to the beach. This is usually where the cabs take you. You have to look for your hotel or shack yourself. That is why you see guests walking along the beach with their luggage all the time. The paths between these hotels are narrow; you can easily walk or use a scooter but not a car. In the beginning, this maze is a bit confusing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In the center, there are some stores with all necessities but nothing more. Of course, they also sell all kinds of tourist stuff (silver jewelry, scarves, spices, T-shirts, clothes, bags). The quality in the stores is a bit higher than anything the beach hawkers offer.<\/p>\n

Restaurants at the Coast<\/h2>\n

All the beach restaurants can in fact be recommended. All of them offer ocean view; you can sit in the shade and face the water. Quite often, they also have sun beds at the beach and also serve food there.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They offer a vast variety of food you can basically get anything here. There are no big, all-inclusive hotels. That is why all the guests go to these restaurants even for breakfast. You can go to a different place every day, the quality is good everywhere. Sometimes it\u2019s even difficult to remember where you were the day before, these restaurants are all very much alike.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For Indian standard, these restaurants are not cheap but compared to German restaurants, prices are still reasonable.<\/p>\n

In addition, there are several restaurants off the beach with all kinds of stuff. You can eat for less money here.<\/p>\n
