Nine days is not enough to rest, just got a taste, and it's time to go home. Traveled with my husband from February 21.2013 to March 2.2013. First we chose the Donna Teresina hotel. But there was no place in it. We were offered another hotel, also there are no places. Pegasus said that only Peninsula would be guaranteed to confirm. We had no choice and we agreed. I read the reviews and thought "where are we going". It turned out it wasn't all that bad. We arrived at the hotel at 8:00 am. At 11-00 we were already overpowered. Number got very personal. The balcony overlooked the street, but this did not bother us, since we live at home on the main street. If you hand over the key to the reception, then you will be cleaned. We rented it 1 time when we went on an excursion (I changed the towels myself every day for clean ones, and put the trash can out the door). There are no beach towels, bring your own for the beach. Free WI-FI at the reception. They took a netbook with them. He and all the documents, as well as the money, were kept in a safe at the reception (in 9 days we were charged 450 rupees for the safe). Dollars can be exchanged directly at the hotel at the reception (the rate was $ 1 = 53 rupis), on the main street the rate is slightly more than 53.7. There were cockroaches running around in the room and of course we brought them home in a suitcase (I caught one when unpacking). I took mosquito repellent with me, but there were none. The hotel staff always smiles at you, everyone is friendly. The hotel only had breakfast (scrambled eggs or scrambled eggs and toast), the dishes are certainly dirty, even once I had to wash the forks before eating). To the sea 7-10 minutes. Opposite the hotel there is a minimarket. There are many shops along the way to the sea. Sun loungers on the sea belong to the necks (snack bars). Every day we chose different ones, and for the last three days we went to only one "PEDROS", we really liked it (the staff there is not as intrusive as in other necks). There are always waves on the sea. In the evening we ate only in two restaurants in turn, one opposite the hotel is called "SUSHI BAR", there is also free WI-FI, and the other is called "BABUTES" located on the main street (we read about it in the reviews and did not regret it). They ate shark, large shrimp and lobster. We drank fresh juices (orange, pineapple, watermelon, and now mango has also ripened). From alcohol, I recommend OLD MONK rum (in translation, OLD MONK) costs 135 rupees, our 80 rubles. Drank it with cola. We went on a tour "the whole of Goa in 1 day" for $ 50 per person. I liked everything, except for transport (8 people were driving in a seven-seater car, like herring in a barrel). For reloading luggage at the airport, they charge $ 15 per 1 kg, keep in mind. If you have any questions write.

A month ago, in September, I had an urgent business trip to the other side of the world, to India. Friends suggested that a ticket can, if very urgent, be booked from the tour operator Sanmar. Which is what I did. It turns out that this is very convenient. Without leaving home, I chose a suitable tour online, and saved very well.

A month ago, in September, I had an urgent business trip to the other side of the world, to India. Friends suggested that a ticket can, if very urgent, be booked from the tour operator Sanmar. Which is what I did. It turns out that this is very convenient. Without leaving home, I chose a suitable tour online, and saved very well. Upon arrival, I found an inexpensive hotel, the Peninsula Resort. The first impression was a modest, rather bright room, with a balcony. The bathroom has a shower. The beach is close, 10 minutes walk. Very. Not a bad budget hotel. Quiet. True, those who have windows overlooking the street, there is noise from the street, but I was lucky. The windows overlooked the pool. In between cases, I managed to lie by the pool and go to the beach. Meals include only breakfast. Everything else in the restaurant can be ordered. They cook well, a little unusual, different unknown spices, but how not to try the national cuisine? I will eat my usual food at home. The trip turned out to be pleasant, thanks to Sanmar. If I ever need to work somewhere else, I will definitely contact them!

We stayed at this hotel in November 2011. A 4-storey hotel, with one wing directly onto the street, so they have been beeping since 6 in the morning. The room has air conditioning, fan, refrigerator and TV (no Russian channel). First we were given a room on the 2nd floor with a balcony to the street, very noisy and easy to rob, we asked to change.

The room has air conditioning, fan, refrigerator and TV (no Russian channel). First we were given a room on the 2nd floor with a balcony to the street, very noisy and easy to rob, we asked to change. Without problems and additional payments, we got a room with a balcony overlooking the courtyard. Indians get up early (the main guests of the hotel were Indians. Russians occupied only 3 rooms) from 6 in the morning they run around, knock on each other's doors, play in the pool, in general, the noise does not fit European standards. Breakfast is also Indian style. Apparently we arrived at the very beginning of the season. It turned out that the previous owner of the hotel had expired the lease of the hotel and this year a new boss, a new broom. Gradually we began to get used to them, and they to us. A European breakfast appeared with scrambled eggs, toast and tea, and they began to repair the remote controls for the air conditioner. They used to say there was a restaurant on the beach from the hotel and beach towels. We didn't find either one. We didn't like Calangute beach, we went every day to a different beach. The rupee against the dollar was 49. Changed on the main street. The fruit market is about 20 minutes on foot, but it is very inconvenient to walk without sidewalks. By the way, Fruit. they don’t trade at the market, they keep prices for spices, in any case we didn’t manage to break them, although at the flea market in Anjuna (on Wednesdays) we managed to drop the price 5 times. We liked the sea, weather, fresh juices (especially in the juice center) very much. And the hotel? Looking for what money. We flew from Moscow by charter for 2 weeks. 25t per person - red price. The hotel still does not pull more than 2 stars, the "Luxe" rooms differ only in carved beds and plasma, and the same cockroaches crawl. The furniture is all shabby, not a single chair or hook. There is nowhere to hang a bathrobe in the shower. Well, if it's not expensive, then you treat the service accordingly. And the weather!!! ! Have a good holiday everyone!!! ! We were able to relax and enjoy.

The hotel for India is just super. The staff are all very friendly. The location is excellent. We just returned (they were the 4th time in India), and I already want to go back. If you want more details, write in a personal, I will definitely answer.

We rested in this hotel from 20.12. 2009 to 03.01. 2010. I will say that I really liked the rest. The hotel rooms are, of course, very, very basic. But there is everything you need (one bedside table, a wardrobe, a refrigerator with a mini-bar, a table, two chairs, a TV). Mini-bar is paid. There is no hair dryer.

But there is everything you need (one bedside table, a wardrobe, a refrigerator with a mini-bar, a table, two chairs, a TV). Mini-bar is paid. There is no hair dryer. There is air conditioning and a fan. The light was switched off periodically, but for a maximum of 15 minutes. The water was almost always hot, but when you turn it on, you have to wait a while for it to appear. Late in the evening, sometimes it was not hot, it was barely warm. But all this, it seems to me, is trifles. The rooms are cleaned every day if you hand over the key to the reception. The hotel has a good and inexpensive restaurant. Menu in Russian. You can order food to your room. Tipping is included in the bill. We were lucky with breakfasts (by the way, they are from 7 to 10.30), because before our arrival they were made more or less satisfying: in addition to toasts with jam, they also gave scrambled eggs / scrambled eggs, pancakes, cereals. Of fresh juices, only watermelon and pineapple. There is no green tea.
The portions are quite large, then we began to order one dish for two, since one can really overeat such a portion. Does the hotel have free Wi-Fi. But it does not work in the rooms, only in the hall or in the courtyard, as well as on the balconies overlooking the courtyard. In the evening there are show programs (singing, dancing). Money can be changed at the reception. The course was 45.5, 46 in the city. This hotel also has its own restaurant on the beach, where hotel guests are given free sun loungers (the most decent of all that are there). The hotel staff is very nice. Mostly Russians rested in the hotel. Now about the location of the hotel in relation to various useful and interesting places. You can rent a scooter or motorbike right in front of the hotel. Or you can walk along this street towards the beach, there are a couple more places where you can take transport.
We took one scooter for 200 rupees per day (the starting price was 400) and one yamaha motorcycle for 400 rupees (the starting price was 800, you could even negotiate for 300). Gasoline is sold at almost every step. The price of one liter in tents and by hand is 60 rupees. There are 45 gas stations. But there are no gas stations in the vicinity. There is one abandoned. Not far from the hotel (10 minutes by scooter) there is a European supermarket Newton. Prices, by the way, are the same in all stores, since the price is indicated on the products themselves, so you can boil in any stores. We also bought a local Idea SIM card there. For its registration you need a copy of your passport or a passport and a photo. But every week you need to renew its validity in the place where it was issued. You can also top up your account there. To the clubs from this hotel, in my opinion, far away. The nearest one is Titos in Baga. There are two other clubs on the same street. It mainly plays r'n'b and pop.
It takes about 15 minutes to go there, if there are no traffic jams (and in the evening there are traffic jams, and even some with their traffic). The Paradiso club (in Anjuna) is even further, 25 minutes (there, by the way, the entrance for a couple cost 1000 rupees, the bar is free). The Westend club (in Saligao) is also 25 minutes away, there is mostly goa trance playing. To Nain bar (Vagator) is also 25-30 minutes. In general, far from the whole party. The farthest place where we could get on a motorcycle is Morjim beach (probably 40 minutes to go) and Panaji. Panaji was not impressed, I think it makes no sense to go there with a tour, it's better to take a taxi or a scooter. We were there in Levays and Pepe Jeans stores, where prices are really lower than in Moscow (for example, I bought a bomber jacket there for 900 rubles, in Moscow I saw a similar one in Stockmann for 5 thousand). And there you need to buy leather bags. Those that cost 5-7 thousand in Luzhniki Stadium can be bought there for 1500-200 thousand rubles. And in general, everywhere you need to bargain to the last.
Almost any thing (ali-baba pants, sundresses, tops, etc. ) can be bought for no more than 300 rupees, even if you are first announced for it 4000 rupees. And further. In places where it is not very crowded, you can meet unpleasant marine inhabitants. We saw a moray eel and a sea serpent in Vagator. So swim where there are more people. Well, that seems to be all that could be useful to tell. There will be questions, write)))
P. S. I completely forgot to write an important thing about the hotel. During our stay, 4 rooms were robbed. Thieves climbed in at night from the balcony. The guests were robbed of their passports and money. But the hotel does not bear responsibility for this, as it offers to use safes for storing valuables. However, the victims seemed to have been offered free meals in a restaurant. So be vigilant! )))

We rested in December. I really didn't like the hotel. The breakfasts are very poor, the furniture in the hotel is all shabby, there were always problems with hot water. And the beaches were very crowded and dirty. The Ayurvedic center leaves much to be desired, the room is poorly lit. very hot and not very comfortable.

The territory of the hotel is negligible, and if the windows also face the street, then you can safely forget about rest and peaceful sleep.
