Little uns are 2.5 and very little. I assume they'll need jabs, is there any malaria ?

Not normally any malaria, but a few cases have been reported recently. The goverment say this is due to large numbers of workers comming from outside of the state to work on building projects in Goa. They already had malaria and they have also introduced it to Goa.

But they would say that

You will need something with A/C.
5* hotels in Goa are good, but 3* and below are not really somewhere I would take a child. Loose cable, locks on windows not working etc.

5* Goa doesn't always equate to 5* anywhere else - the Marriott is probably the same (but has more stringent security checks - more like an airport than a hotel when I was there). Cidade de Goa is nice, but closer to 4* than 5.

I stayed at the Sun Village, which was officially 3* but was as good as the Cidade but cheaper. Only difference was Sun Village had no beach.
