You really don't want the dogs for company beyond a point..The hippies around Anjuna mostly shack up in small guesthouses/budget hotels located around Anjuna..
If you're staying 3 weeks, Taj Holiday Village is located in a good place to cash in on the action at Calangute/Baga beaches..There is also a new property located close to Taj, called "The O Hotel". Anjuna is merely a 15mins drive away..
Closer to Anjuna, there is a Country Inn property..which is suitable for long-stays.. It has self-catering serviced apartments plus normal rooms as well.
Thanks vm! Im going to break it up and stay in south Goa at either the Aguada or Leela, and then closer to anjuna (xmas break) at either Laguna Anjuna or one of your suggestions. Have to make reservations soon as I hear it gets quite busy during the high season. Great suggestions all around! Thanks!
