I've only stayed in one, called Marbella. It was nice. Friends have stayed in others and had good things to say etc. Check TripAdvisor India for reviews, its mostly accurate. North would be a good option in monsoon - way less crowds and you will have restaurants/couple of clubs open. I prefer South personally but then eating out/partying might be more limited
