Best beach in Goa?

Which area (beach) & specific hotel(s) are best for a 26 yr old single FIRST TIMER in GOA, India?

• I am flying from the US to India on vacation and decided to stay for a weekend in Goa (2nd week of Oct). Have always tried to go there for the past 6 years but couldn't make it. I love to party, eat, club and flirt with chicks (i am still single :P)...I am very used to the bikini ambiance and would like something similar on those lines (western/foreign culture). I traveled to Canada, Brazil, Dubai and I know Goa is also very good in all these aspects. Looking for a medium budget oriented trip and nothing TOO fancy (at the same time NOT CHEAP at all). Would rather spend more $$ on alcohol & lovely Indian food but if the hotel is worth it, that's fine. Please advice as I have looked at so many websites that I am lost right now...(also north vs south goa) Also, is there any Swine Flu going around in Goa? Pune which is not far is badly hit. Should I worry about it?

• Answer:

  U know that taj hotels have 3 hotels there and right now the prices are like 50% lower so u will pay less for the same room. I would say check travelocity and try near beach,though in goa there are two areas,like north goa and south goa,south one is more croweded and lively and north goa,the honeymoon type. Get it? SO check there.
