I really liked the hotel, the rooms are clean, cleaning every day. The food was normal, a lot of spicy food. , There was almost no seafood in the hotel. They followed them to the beach in Sheki. It is very tasty and not expensive, lobsters, crabs, shrimp from 1000 to 1500 rupees, you can bargain. 1$=66 rupees.

I went to India for the first time and was not sure that I would like the country itself (a lot of conflicting reviews), so I chose the hotel so that I could hide in case of emergency. I was frightened, of course, in vain, but thanks to the "Labyrinth" for suggesting this hotel, exactly what I asked for. The check-in went very quickly, we filled out a small card, they immediately gave us the key, we were escorted by a hotel employee to our bungalow, on the way he told us where and when they were fed, what, where.

I was frightened, of course, in vain, but thanks to the "Labyrinth" for suggesting this hotel, exactly what I asked for.
The check-in went very quickly, we filled out a small card, they immediately gave us the key, we were escorted by a hotel employee to our bungalow, on the way he told us where and when they were fed, what, where. Along with the key, they also gave me a card with a schedule of restaurants. Tipping, by the way, was not asked for (I read it happens in some places).
The room is spacious, there is a ceiling fan and air conditioning, sometimes only a fan was left, this was quite enough. The bathroom is combined, the shower is enclosed by a curtain and is located in a niche. There is shampoo, soap, lotion, everything is replenished when cleaning. The room has a kettle, cups, coffee, tea, sugar and powdered milk in bags. There is a TV, no Russian channels, a few British channels, the rest are Indian, it's funny how they switch from Hindi to English all the time. Free in-room safe, fridge with two bottles of water. We lived in a one-story bungalow, in which there are two rooms in total, for two rooms there is a common area at the entrance with a table and chairs. Cleaning every day, around 12 o'clock, if you put up a "do not disturb" sign, they will clean it anyway on the same day if you remove the sign. All rooms in the bungalow - there are two more.
The territory is green, there are many palm trees, there are hammocks - in the evening it is very cool to read a book in a hammock))). There is a swimming pool with a children's section. There is a volleyball court on the territory, around 5-6 pm the animator calls the team to play, there are always people. access to the beach directly from the territory, on the way there is a shower and a tap with water - crush sand and salt, plus a stall with coconuts. On the beach - free sun loungers, a cafe with free internet (they enter the password themselves, do not be surprised, it's all over Goa). a couple of stalls with scarves, slippers, towels. Indians walk past, offering to draw a pattern with henna. The beach itself is clean, there are always enough sunbeds.
The food is quite varied, there are both local dishes and European ones, everything is signed in English. If a dish runs out right under your nose, they immediately bring it again, and they will personally come to you to say that your dish is back. Several types of meat, there are fish, potatoes, rice, sauces, fruits, puddings, ice cream. . . vegetarian dishes are also available, everyone can find something for themselves.
in the evenings, on the roof of the administrative building in an open cafe, live music concerts are held - a good performance of world hits, however, great.
Internet in the common area (except the beach) is paid, 100 rupees per hour, 300 - 4 hours, and 1000 - 24 hours. The session can be interrupted and the time will not burn out. I had 24 hours for a week. We got it to the number, in general, I think it takes everywhere, there are a lot of networks, where one ends, a good reception of another network.
the people at the hotel are calm - families with children, couples about 30 years old, mostly Russians and British.
The hotel is a bit out of the way, but shops and cafes are about 5 minutes away, so you can hide in the hotel area and go on a break.
I recommend the hotel for a quiet comfortable stay with the family or for those who do not like clubs and loud parties.

The hotel is located on the beach. Simple but good quality rooms. Bungalow-type hotel - many buildings on the territory. The territory is green, big enough. Works on system "all inclusive". Good animation. Good location - and the 1st line, and a bunch of cafes, restaurants and shops nearby. Expensive.

In April 2013, two of my tourists flew to Goa to Donna Silvia, the hotel was chosen for its location and food concept, this is one of the few hotels on the coast with a well-groomed territory and friendly staff, a good five in terms of price-quality ratio without applying for a VIP. The children did not particularly like the food, Indian cuisine is specific, but the cocktails and desserts there are very tasty.

The children did not particularly like the food, Indian cuisine is specific, but the cocktails and desserts there are very tasty. The beaches are all municipal in Goa, so you can meet everyone - both cows and local residents, but there is no garbage. In general, the impressions of the rest are twofold - a combination of exoticism with poverty and average service. Tourists who are accustomed to all-inclusive and hotels in Turkey and Egypt are probably not worth going to Goa. This is a country for people without pretensions, aimed to see, hear and feel unity with nature, to feel freedom from material values.

My girlfriend and I were looking for a quiet vacation on the sea-ocean. We were recommended South Goa, from the proposed choice we chose DONA SILVIA and did not regret it. The hotel is on a solid 4. The rooms (bungalows) are clean, air conditioning + fan, cleaning every day, there is no Russian TV channel (but we didn’t go for that) Internet paid 100 rupees per hour (60 rubles) at the reception.

The rooms (bungalows) are clean, air conditioning + fan, cleaning every day, there is no Russian TV channel (but we didn’t go for that) Internet paid 100 rupees per hour (60 rubles) at the reception. Large pool with paddling pool for kids and normal depth for adults. The bar at the swimming pool is open until 18:00, and on the terrace until 23:00. The restaurant is focused on European cuisine, who needs hotter (pepper) for those separate tables. The menu is, of course, not Turkish hotels, but you won’t stay hungry and you still want to have something to eat outside the territory. Prices for restaurants behind the hotel are more than just cheap : ) For a week for two, we spent about $ 100 without saving on appetite : ) DONA SILVIA territory is huge, green and clean. There is no such territory in any hotel of this category. The beach is wide, clean, tower with lifeguards. Moderate people, there were no local beggars (sellers of beads and bracelets came several times, but if you don’t pay attention, they will leave behind) We didn’t see packs of stray dogs there, we saw two in a week and they are sitting near the restaurant, waiting for them to get something will fall over. Ocean........no words, fairy tale : )

I really liked the evening program, where every day you could relax, enjoy the warm air, and the night tide! I also really liked the morning "Yayshnitsa" .

Fully agree with the previous review. The hotel is not bad, mostly British, Germans and a few Indians rested quietly. The territory is clean, the staff is unobtrusive, quiet - at the beginning they even seem to be slowed down, but then you get used to it. Rooms - it used to be better, but you can live, everything worked.

The territory is clean, the staff is unobtrusive, quiet - at the beginning they even seem to be slowed down, but then you get used to it. Rooms - it used to be better, but you can live, everything worked. Large terrace - in the morning crows crap on it and it was problematic to walk. Cleaning is rather weak - we did not understand whether they changed the linen for us or just made the bed. A decent square of dust has accumulated under the bed. But the toiletries were changed regularly - as they disappeared in our suitcases. Without embarrassment, I’ll say they took everything home - you can’t buy this anywhere else - everything is natural. The food is not super, but the cuisine did not go hungry, not Indian but Portuguese, like everything in GOA. I advise you to go outside the territory only in case of emergency - due to the annoying merchants and dirt on the streets - in my opinion, no one cleans them. Scanty souvenirs can be bought in the arcade of shops at the entrance to the hotel - although in my opinion the hotel is not more expensive. The only thing that pleased me from purchases was leather goods, suitcases, bags, etc. . We took - at the exit of the hotel to the left along the shopping mall and after 500 meters a two-story store on the left of the first floor. For spices and tea we went by taxi to the city of Morgau. There is the same thing as in the shops at the hotel, but really cheaper by 3-4 times, and it’s just interesting to visit the local market - we took a taxi back and forth. The best thing is of course the beach where they spent the whole holiday. You can ride a bike along the coastal strip - it is as hard as a cycle track. Do not be tempted to go fishing - razvodilovo - 50 bucks down the drain - there are no fish there.

The hotel lives up to its three stars. We settled without problems on December 31 in the morning. Bungalow room on the 2nd floor with a huge terrace. You can sit on it only in the evening - it's cool. It is hot during the day, and in the morning crows yell and crap. The service is calm and polite - they don't understand a damn thing in Russian.

You can sit on it only in the evening - it's cool. It is hot during the day, and in the morning crows yell and crap. The service is calm and polite - they don't understand a damn thing in Russian. By our arrival rested mostly Germans and British. The food is all inclusive, monotonous, but edible. From the excursions they took only the jungle book - riding and bathing on elephants - I liked it, but they didn’t go on excursions anymore and didn’t regret it. From the hotel you need to go to the village only in case of emergency - local merchants will get anyone. First of all, you need to buy a SIM card very conveniently and cheaply - a call to Russia is 5-6 rubles. We took it in a pharmacy, the guides will tell you where it is. They also took tanning cream, anti-allergens and everything else. Be sure to buy leather goods very cheaply - in the store on the way to the pharmacy but not in the malls. Some fruits were bought at the market - avocados, mangoes, strawberries - at the hotel they were fed only papaya, watermelons and something else. Who smokes cigarettes take with you - everything is very expensive there. The territory of the hotel is large green, blooming - I liked it. Outside the hotel is dirty - Russia is just the ideal of cleanliness compared to GOA. The beach is perfect - the sand is like starch white and clean. Sunbeds and umbrellas are conditionally paid - you buy a drink in a cafe, even a bottle of cola and it's all yours - lie down at least all day. The owner will come - he will dig you an umbrella and set up a sunbed and enjoy. Constantly took freshly squeezed pineapple juice - good. From unaccustomed coconut can also indigestion. I recommend cycling on the beach. The coastal strip is rammed like a cycle track. You can take a taxi to the nearest city of Morgau, where you can buy both spices and gifts - we bought saris. Everything in the village is much more expensive. The sea is clean, but muddy from the sand - so you can’t dive with a mask. After lunch, decent waves up to two meters - you can have fun. You don't have to go fishing - there are still no fish, despite all the guides' promises. I stupidly went gave 50 bucks, got burned, caught a few small fish. Be sure to buy natural creams and oils in the malls - the wife was very pleased - there is no such thing in Russia. Do not buy gems - there is a big risk that they will slip a fake. In conclusion, I will say - you can relax - there is no negativity and enthusiasm, however, too. For those who want to relax, calmly rest - please.

My husband and I were in this hotel in December 2008, we really liked it, helpful staff (albeit only English-speaking), warm sea, clean beach, coconut palms are just super long, and at the top there are coconuts, in winter coconuts and palm leaves fell, so under them walking was not safe. every evening there was entertainment, or a musician or a magician, or in general a large concert of Indian and not only music, in general, don’t get bored, especially since alcoholic drinks are free in an unlimited number, I personally drank local rum with cola not even bad.

The food is spicy and spicy, washed it all down with water, but my husband liked it, there were few sweets and fruits, so we bought chocolates in the shops nearby, I can’t do without them. we rented bikes near the hotel, it cost about a dollar an hour, we walked right along the beach, the sand is very fine and when the tide is out the beach becomes like a road, hard and even, there are a lot of beautiful shells, to collect at sunset, the water is warm even at night, there were in the north of Goa, in the night bazaar, there are a lot of informals, there are a lot of Russians, you don’t have to deal with souvenirs in advance, just go to this bazaar (it’s only on Saturdays) and buy everything there in full, you just have to bargain !!
In general, a very mysterious country, completely incomprehensible to us (Europeans), with its own rhythm of life, with its own unique humid, hot air (and this is in December), kind, small, Indians... is remembered for a lifetime, I advise everyone to go...
