I visited benaulim in february just a month ago stayed at castello's tourist nest.The place is ok with double rooms with attached bathrooms and balconies facing the forested coconut gardens for rs 200 a night.If you stay a while like i did you will get it for rs 150 a night.Most people like me come back year after year to the peaceful surroundings and nature.The owner mr savio castello can arrange to book your train tickets for you with no extra cost plus, picks you up on arrival either at the train station or goa dabolim airport.
Castello's tourist nest has 9 rooms in the house back in the village and 12 beach huts with common shower and toilets on the benaulim beach front next to lotus behind prawn farm.If you want to contact the owner savio castello can email:sav2004@yahoo.co.uk or Telephone:0091/0832/9823362216 , 0091/0832/2771858
I loved the place and would think you would like the same.
Happy travels.
