We visited goa during the Diwali vacations. Expecting it to be busy season we wanted to book accommodation early. We got in touch with our friend Rafique who runs Solmar cottages. We had stayed in Solmar at one of our earlier visits too and found it to be comfortable, hassle free and most of all located right next to the Baga beach.
Solmar cottages has about 12 rooms out of which 5 are non AC, rest are with AC. The rooms themselves are fairly large and roomy but very basic with only a TV for in room entertainment. The property has no other mode of entertainment in house, but when do people who visit Goa spend time inside a hotel. Clean property, neat rooms and bathrooms, basic linen are offered.
Rafique is a local and is able to arrange bikes, cars, taxis etc as per the need of the guest. Its decently priced for its location which is the usp - 1500 for non AC, and 1800 for AC room. Its cheaper during non peak season. Strongly recommended for a hassle free experience and most of all for the terrific location.
