Fodor's Expert Review Holiday Inn

The chief advantage of this international chain is its uniform service and friendly vibe, and the private access to Mobor Beach is a blessing after the crowded beaches of North Goa. Spread over 25 acres, the hotel has a large pool that encourages long, all-day soaks, a poolside bar with excellent snacks, and comfortable, if generic, rooms. It's also a popular wedding venue, and there are plenty of colorful, if loud, weddings here during the November--January wedding season.
