I'll try to be objective. With me was a disabled mother 2gr (endoprosthesis) was chosen according to the following criteria: comfort, territory, pool, accessibility of the beach. The hotel is located 700m from the beach, but the official website states that a free shuttle runs every half an hour. First impression: I really liked the territory, all in blooming greenery, they settled into the room immediately (lucky if you arrive early $ 50-100 for early check-in) at two in the afternoon, but the room was not cleaned, I wiped everything myself with wet wipes that turned black, cloudy mirror.

I'll try to be objective. With me was a disabled mother 2gr (endoprosthesis) was chosen according to the following criteria: comfort, territory, pool, accessibility of the beach. The hotel is located 700m from the beach, but the official website states that a free shuttle runs every half an hour. First impression: I really liked the territory, all in blooming greenery, they settled into the room immediately (lucky if you arrive early $ 50-100 for early check-in) at two in the afternoon, but the room was not cleaned, I wiped everything myself with wet wipes that turned black, cloudy mirror. Everything is as stated in the room: safe, hair dryer, kettle. The second unexpected and not a pleasant surprise was that the UAZ shuttle for 7 people goes not on schedule, but as it should, or rather, when you need to take something to the beach shek. Somehow, my mother got into the UAZ, with a prosthesis it's not easy. We arrived at the beach and immediately turned to the hotel’s shek to exchange $ for rupees, but the exchange rate was not profitable, they changed it at a nearby one and stayed there for lunch. The next day, in the sheke of the hotel, they told us that we didn’t eat at their place, moreover, they decided to teach us a lesson — when I asked to call a jeep to the hotel (as we were told at the reception), we were told to wait in 15 minutes we will call. Upon arrival, we asked at the reception to explain this behavior, promised to sort it out, but that was enough for a couple of days. We ate in the far shek, because it was much tastier there and always very friendly staff, then we went to ours and asked to call a jeep, but on the third day we were told to go on foot, take a taxi, there would be no jeep. We had to take a taxi to the hotel for 100 rupees. Upon arrival, they turned to the management with a solution to this problem, they promised to sort it out again, but in the morning they refused to take us to the beach. The road from my mother took an hour, she sincerely burst into tears. As we were given to understand if you are going to a jeep elsewhere, do not wait. Be prepared for the fact that the staff speaks only English, they speak a little Russian in the hotel restaurant, beach shacks. So that you always get sunbeds, you need to pay 100 rupees, so that the dishes that you ordered are served well and not confused in the palm of the waiter 100 rupees. To change the bed on time, leave a tip in the room. To sum up, if you expect to "give on your paw" everywhere, you will have a great rest. For fruit or shopping, you either need to go 20-30 minutes or take a taxi to Benaulim round-trip 400-500 rupees, to Margao 600-700 rupees. All attention to foreigners, they have the best places on the beach, they are smiled at, the waiters serve in the first place, we Russians are ignored, only if you are not ready to pay for what is meant.

Rested family (child 3.5 years). I liked the hotel, nice clean area. Room service: sometimes they forgot to put towels, but when reminded, they immediately brought and apologized. The breakfasts are good, there is a choice (if you don’t require frills): crackers, cereals, scrambled eggs, pancakes, side dishes, meat, pastries, etc.

Rested family (child 3.5 years). I liked the hotel, nice clean area. Room service: sometimes they forgot to put towels, but when reminded, they immediately brought and apologized. The breakfasts are good, there is a choice (if you don’t require frills): crackers, cereals, scrambled eggs, pancakes, side dishes, meat, pastries, etc. We walked to the sea (about 15-20 minutes with a child), for the “lazy” from the hotel runs a jeep. The beach is excellent, they built large sand castles, crabs run around, the son was delighted. Of the minuses of the beach, there are only “kakuni” dogs, of which there are many (not aggressive). Lunch and dinner on the beach in the necks. There were no eating disorders, even in a child. The food is already very adapted for tourists. Bicycle rentals are available on the beach and in Benaulim. We drove along the beach and along the highway (much safer than on our roads (contrary to the prevailing opposite opinion), you just need to get used to driving on the left (it is more difficult for drivers)). Excursions. Went with a local Bobby (real name Umish). He will find you! He speaks excellent Russian (at the same time he can help with translation at the reception, they are only in English), with a sense of humor. We went to waterfalls ($35) and to Hampi ($100-110 (as agreed)). At "ANEX", waterfalls 60 dollars. , Hampi 130 USD and + per child 60 dollars. (Although, he always sits on his knees in the car anyway, slept with us in the hotel, ate breakfast from our plate, tickets to temples for a child are not paid! The question is, why pay 3.500 rubles! )! Perhaps with Bobby a little less comfort (we went on an excursion a day later), but more freedom (time for a photo and for “wandering”). Plus, Bobby heard our requests and expanded the tour a bit on the way back, for which THANK YOU! We plan to return next year, as not everyone had time to see it!

A good hotel with a pleasant homely atmosphere. The staff are good kind people. The administrator speaks good Russian. Any request is fulfilled quickly and the room is cleaned very well. Once they spilled a drink on the bed, so the bed was changed within fifteen minutes. We always left a tip of 20-30 rupees for which, in addition to high-quality cleaning, they even twisted animals out of towels.

Once they spilled a drink on the bed, so the bed was changed within fifteen minutes. We always left a tip of 20-30 rupees for which, in addition to high-quality cleaning, they even twisted animals out of towels. So for the service I definitely put excellent! A little money change. We changed on the way to the beach. The joke is that if you change one hundred bucks with one piece of paper, then the rate is slightly higher; if less, then the rate is lower. You can walk to the beach or take a shuttle from the hotel. There is a schedule or pay a hundred rupees and they will take you when you need. Well, like a taxi) We walked more along the road, cafe shops near the hotel, there is where to eat, and in the hotel, the restaurant also cooks well, a little more expensive than in cafes, but not much. In general, the cost of food is almost the same everywhere in the district. And the best way to get around is to rent a bike. . Near the village, supermarkets so the location is quite convenient. The value for money hotel is excellent. And if you take it not in an ordinary agency, but via the Internet, then it’s cheaper. The hotel has one minus is a paid internet, but we bought a SIM card locally for 20 bucks and that was enough for us and there was no link to the hotel. And the presence of a good, always clean pool in general became a bonus) Initially, it was not particularly needed. In general, for a relaxing holiday, the hotel turned out to be an excellent option!

We chose the hotel based on the photos for a women's yoga tour. When we arrived, we were pleasantly impressed with the territory of the hotel - a very cozy, not large oasis in flowers and greenery. The rooms are spacious and clean. The staff is pleasant and smiling. We are going here again in 2017. Join our yoga tour "Beauty of body and soul", February 11-24.

Good day to all, we rested with my wife from 02/04/2015-02/14/2015 met a class at the hotel. Placed very quickly, the room is super, new, the truth is not cleaned very well. Still, tea accessories will not be reported, then bath accessories, I had to make comments at the reception. The breakfasts are normal, there is a choice, BUT IMMEDIATELY I will say do not drink milk, I myself got poisoned there, the temperature was under 40.

Good day to all, we rested with my wife from 02/04/2015-02/14/2015 met a class at the hotel.
Placed very quickly, the room is super, new, the truth is not cleaned very well.
Still, tea accessories will not be reported, then bath accessories, I had to make comments at the reception. The breakfasts are normal, there is a choice, BUT IMMEDIATELY I will say do not drink milk, I myself got poisoned there, the temperature was under 40.
They write in the reviews not far from the beach (you have to walk for 25-30 minutes), the locals are VERY annoying, even sticky, I don’t advise you to go on foot, the shuttle goes from the hotel to the beach (I recommend), back from the beach I advise you to “tuk-tuk” (motorcycle with two local seats) on the rear window there is an inscription "Katyusha", asks for 100 rupees, is traded up to 50.
The beach is generally super, you can dine right on the beach in local "shakes", I recommend the 3rd shake from Joecons beach, the waiter "Omar" is a cool dude.
Order excursions from "BOBI" a local hotel guide, it is traded at a time, everyone knows him there, but SMART if he sees that a person does not know the price, he can also break the price, get acquainted with those who are already resting at least 2-3 days, they will tell you prices for excursions.
GUIDE from "PEGAS" GENERALLY "S. . KA" does not explain anything and the prices hurt.
We dined at GiGi Park, the service is super, the owner speaks Russian, the hostess is generally a Russian girl, they will prompt and help, from the hotel to the right, after the jewelry store, literally less than a minute to go.
I advise an excursion to the statue of "SHIVA" an unforgettable sight.
I forgot to add, "BOBI" excursions (Waterfall, spice plantation, elephants, elephant riding a separate fee of 500 rupees) 35 bucks per person, the guide "PEGAS" 70 bucks per person + elephant riding 600 rupees, (Statue of "Shiva" , beach "Pololem" lunch at your own expense, temple and museum) 60 bucks per person, the guide "PEGAS" from 120 bucks per person + lunch at your own expense,
Those who know how to count their money will notice the difference immediately, and the difference between the guide "PEGAS" and "BOBI" is big, "BOBI" will offer a 5-seater comfortable TOYOTA, a serpentine road, who suffer from nausea, stock up on a package and medicines.
Beach "Pololem" looks beautiful and the water is warmer, but dirty and tourists lie on top of each other, OUR beach from the hotel is better!!!!
So, to be in GOA once you can, rest, nature, hotel, SUPER beach,
I advise you to make an individual visa, how to say at home, and not a collective one, otherwise if the visa is collective, you will wait near the airport upon departure for everyone who is indicated on the visa until everyone who is indicated on the visa arrives at the airport, the airport is a military 10-step check, yourself they don’t believe themselves, they double-check each other, they check 10 times.
Do not take any matches or lighters back from the hotel, they will take them away at the airport, the smoking room is on the left after customs control, in the e-mail room. there is a cigarette lighter.
Well, everything seems to be, rest, bargain, for example, if they ask for 400 rupees, feel free to switch to 200-250 rupees, they won’t go anywhere.
EVERYONE HAPPY REST!! !

Hotel in different sources 3* / 4*. As for me, it has only 1 drawback - the distance from the sea - it takes about 15 minutes to walk to the beach. In all other respects the hotel is very good. It is brand new, respectively, the rooms are very pleasant, tidy, clean. Everything in the room is like everywhere else, there is even a free safe, a balcony, a hairdryer.

It is better to take breakfast, because there is where to eat. Most often we had dinner in a cafe at the hotel, everything was delicious, and the prices were the same as everywhere else.
The hotel is on the outskirts, therefore, slept well, there was no loud music and crowds of tourists under the windows.
If 15 minutes to the beach is not a problem, then you can safely choose Joycons, you will like it!

I didn't write reviews before, but now I decided to share. . . We were in Joecons from 4.11 to 15.11 with friends (5 people 25-28 years old). We flew from Kyiv with a change in Sharjah, Arab Airlines. They didn’t feed, everything was paid, an average of 7 bucks. Upon arrival, we were met and taken by bus to the hotel, driving for about an hour.

I didn't write reviews before, but now I decided to share. . .
We were in Joecons from 4.11 to 15.11 with friends (5 people 25-28 years old). We flew from Kyiv with a change in Sharjah, Arab Airlines. They didn’t feed, everything was paid, an average of 7 bucks. Upon arrival, we were met and taken by bus to the hotel, driving for about an hour. The Russian girl told everything in general terms, that was enough for a start. We arrived at the hotel around 6 am. My husband and I were settled at about 9, about 12 girls, and our friend at 13.30, as the rooms were vacated. Breakfast started at 7, we could already eat. The rooms we had with the guys were different, we have one room on the 2nd floor, the guys have two rooms with access to the street and a terrace (the price is the same). Rooms are clean, beds are comfortable. The room has a TV set, air conditioning, refrigerator, kettle, tea, coffee, safe, hairdryer, spacious balcony. Take flip flops in the shower, it's just a baffle, no tray, but the tiles are great, we didn't fall. The guys in the two-room suites had 2 bathrooms. As for food, we only took breakfast, ate omelettes, fruits, coffee, soft drinks. There were also cereals, asparagus, soups, milk porridge. In general, they did not go hungry. We talked with those who took dinners, they were upset, because for dinner for them in the restaurant there was a separate menu with a limited choice. Tip: do not take dinner, everything is cheap there and the restaurant in the hotel is not the only place where you can eat deliciously. We had lunch and dinner at the "3 Kisses" neck on the way to the beach and in a restaurant near the "GiGi Park" hotel. The owners of these establishments are awesome people, always friendly, attentive and the food is very tasty. The hotel staff is excellent, the guys are very cheerful, many already understand and speak Russian and everyone knows English very well. I would like to mention Oman and Bravo - great guys!! ! My husband and I booked an Indian style wedding ceremony. Everything was organized at the highest level. We didn’t even have to think about anything, everything was taken care of for us. We received unforgettable emotions and are now married for 7 lives ahead. We also communicated with the general manager and with the owner of the hotel - very friendly and interesting. In general, with regard to the hotel - it's awesome, and the territory, and the service and staff, and food. As for India - a country of contrasts, it cannot be described in words, it must be seen. And you won't regret it. Nature impresses with diversity. Beaches and sunsets are just like in a fairy tale. Benaulim beach is beautiful, clear sea, sand like starch, clean. We also visited Palolem and Om Beach. Highly recommend, you've never seen anything like it. On excursions we went to a waterfall, spices, bathed on elephants. We went to the statue of Shiva and temples. We went to Kolva, there they stocked up with presents. All emotions are difficult and long to describe. I definitely advise everyone. If you have any questions please contact me, I will be happy to answer! Olya
