Castle House is a modest two-pearl hotel that occupies a gorgeous yellow Portuguese colonial-style structure, giving it a grand appearance. The 24 rooms all have air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and mini-fridges, and those on the ground floor can accommodate extra beds. There's also a six-bed hostel room for travelers on super-tight budgets. Amenities include a lovely outdoor courtyard with a swimming pool and a covered open-air restaurant with a pool table where a free breakfast buffet is served daily -- the restaurant is also open for lunch and dinner and cocktails. Lavazza coffee and snacks are available throughout the day. Karaoke is organized during high season. While Castle House offers a great value, travelers looking for sleeker rooms could consider Calangute Grande just a few blocks away.

Leoney Resort is a three-and-a-half-pearl boutique resort tucked at the bottom of a driveway just off a main road that runs through Vagator. The 36 units range from cozy rooms to big One-Bedroom Villas with high ceilings, and many feature glamorous touches such as four-poster beds. Features include a large outdoor pool area with a separate kids' splash section and an adjacent poolside restaurant open throughout the day. There's also a massage center offering traditional Ayurvedic treatments, plus a game room with table tennis and billiards. While this is a lovely place to stay, its location a seven-minute walk inland from Ozran Beach might be a deal breaker for some. Those wanting to be right on the beach should compare rates and amenities at the sea-facing Casa Vagator instead -- but rates are higher.
