3-star hotels in Kankon
A shortlist of the 3-star hotels in Kankon for travellers who want the beaches of Canacona without giving up comfort. Ratings run from 3.9 to 4.5 out of 5 across 353 to 1464 reviews.
Staying in Kankon
Kankon is the gateway to Palolem Beach and the other beaches of Canacona, such as Agonda and Patnem, and it is also home to the Cabo de Rama Fort and the Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary. The town itself is small and functional, with a bus stand, a market and a few shops, while the beach villages to the west cater to tourists. Canacona was historically a port and later a Portuguese possession, and the region's economy still rests on fishing, agriculture and tourism.
The hotels on this shortlist sit along the coast west of the town, on Agonda Beach Road, Ourem Rd, Whal and at the Last Palolem Bus Stop, between 1.8 and 4.7 km from the centre. That puts couples, families and short-break visitors within easy reach of the sand, with restaurants, bars and free car parking at most addresses. Business travellers have less reason to base themselves here, though Akasa Goa has a banquet room.

Plan your stay
When to go
The best time to visit Kankon is from October to March, when the weather is dry and sunny, and many beach businesses are open. December and January are the busiest, with Christmas and New Year attracting large crowds, so November or February suit quieter visits. The monsoon months from June to September bring heavy rain and many beach businesses close.
