Romantic Guest Houses for Couples: Friends, you know that hotel rates are not always the same. They keep changing according to the season. When it is peak season, like summer holidays or New Year’s, then the hotel prices start skyrocketing. On the other hand, when it is off-season, i.e., between April to September, then you get good discounts. During this time, you can easily book a great hotel on a budget, and get the same good experience as in expensive seasons.
Today I am going to tell you about some of the top budget hotels in India, where you can enjoy a great stay for less money. All these hotels are within our country, that is, you will not have to spend a lot like going abroad. So let’s start our journey.
1. Goa – Great experience near Candolim Beach
If we talk about beach holidays and Goa is not mentioned, then the list will remain incomplete. Aldeia Santa Rita is a great budget hotel in Goa, which is just 400 meters away from Candolim Beach. This means that you can walk to the beach as soon as you wake up in the morning and enjoy the cool breeze of the sea.
This hotel has an outdoor swimming pool, where you can relax in the cool water during the day. There are three different dining options here. The hotel’s own restaurant serves international cuisine and gives a different pleasure of open-air dining. The bar near the pool gives you drinks and light snacks, which makes the evenings even more special.
If you think that you have to spend a lot of money to have fun in Goa, then this hotel will change your mind. This is a hotel that offers great facilities in the budget.
