Good day!! ! Rested in this hotel from 24.01 to 04.02. 2011. To be honest, I rested in many places, and in India for the first time, so I read a lot of horrors and go on the road))) The hotel is strangely normal compared to what they write in some reviews! Immediately fellow travelers, be prepared for the fact that hotels in India are not the same hotels as in Egypt and in Turkey))) I'll start from the moment I arrive at the hotel:
1. upon arrival at the hotel, we were immediately settled, but in a disgusting room in the Lotus building on the first floor. Although the room is spacious and with a balcony, but firstly the first floor, there are no chairs or a table on the balcony, and the view from it is on a bright red fence that stands opposite at a distance of two meters! in the room the walls are yellow, the bedspread is blue, the san. knot shabby, lack of towels, toilet paper, soap accessories!! ! And there was a musty smell in the room! I understand that a hotel room in India is taken only for sleeping, and even then not always, but I like to sleep in normal conditions!
2. After a request at the reception to move us, the answer was received that after 10 am, then they promised after 11, but after my hysteria began, the number for exchange was found instantly and without any additional payments !!!
3. They gave several rooms to choose from, stopped at 310, this is a room in the Lotus building on the third floor overlooking the pool and the neighboring building! the room is also not the first freshness, but there are all such in Indian hotels you will not find European-quality repairs, especially in 2.3 stars! And another oddity this hotel every tour. the operator raises in different ways, who has a three-ruble note, and who has a kopeck piece !! ! we did not recognize the real stardom !!!
4. The room was cleaned every time the key was left at the reception, nothing was lost in the room! cleaned normally, the floor washed, bedding and towels changed!
5. bed linen and towels are a solid gray color, but it seems to feel clean! you will not see starched sheets here !!!
6. raptors were saved from mosquitoes in the room, they took 2 pieces and a bunch of records for them!! ! normal, given the fact that when the lights were on, the balcony was regularly opened !!!
7. safe at the hotel at the reception. The deposit for it is 500 rupees, which is returned upon departure. every day of use 50 rupees!
8. There was no air conditioning in the room, the ceiling fan is enough!
9. There was a refrigerator in the room, but they didn’t use it, it smelled too bad!
10. Ants lived in the room, but they were visible only at night and they didn’t cause any problems, although I once saw a small lizard, but I couldn’t catch it !!!
11. breakfasts, the same as in Europe, you will not see the Turkish Swedish table gentlemen-tourists here!! ! for breakfast - toast, jam 2 types, buns, butter, coffee, milk, tea! omelet for extra a fee, and they don’t always bring the one you ordered, but in India it’s a normal topic that the connection is very often interrupted between you and the waiter !! ! We never had lunch or dinner in the restaurant, so I can’t say anything about it!
12. The pool is a separate issue, as we arrived it was with bright green water, a few days later the workers threw bleach there and the water became clear, blue, but it was not possible to decide to swim in it after everything they saw)
13. vacationers are mostly probably Germans who, in principle, do not leave the hotel, there were also Russian guys, but they didn’t communicate with anyone, this hotel is not a party place where you would like to spend time, there are a lot of entertainment outside the territory
14. As it is in the descriptions of the hotel that there are 4 restaurants, in reality there is only one, but the staff is very friendly.
15. There was no TV in the room, but this is not a minus at all, but maybe only a plus, there is no time to watch it anyway! for example, they accidentally learned about the revolution in Egypt from tourists at sea))
16. From the reception you can call the guide for free
17. There is an Internet cafe in the hotel, only it consists of one ancient computer and the cost of an hour is 60 rupees (the exchange rate at the time of our vacation is 1 dollar = 45 rupees), and why do you need Internet on vacation?
18. there was a telephone in the room from which you could call the reception and the hotel rooms
19. AND PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE HOTEL GUIDE IF YOU HAVE ARRIVED WITH A PEGASUS, HIS NAME IS VASILY!! ! a boor is rare, don’t take excursions from him, although he advertises them like that, firstly it’s very expensive, and secondly he tells his fantasies, and not real facts, what you get for this money !! ! excursions should be taken from street agencies, they are many times cheaper and do not differ in anything, and I also recommend storming and-no and choosing where you want and going there by taxi without guides, in general it turns out a penny !! ! and if you have a problem or a problem, he will not solve it, but simply answers: do not call me anymore, I do not want to hear from you!! ! this is such a great guide!
20. stock up on knowledge of the English language, you can't do without it! The staff at the hotel does not speak Russian!!! (
21. to the sea 7-10 minutes walk along a short road through the houses of local residents and along the sand, the first time you go it seems creepy, and then it seems nothing
22. The beach is normal compared to Baga Beach, there are a lot of Europeans, there are also enough merchants, but at least they don’t come to you every minute, like on Baga !!!
23. We dined on the beach, a couple of times at Club 21, but it’s not very tasty there, or rather, it’s not tasty at all, then we moved to a shake whose name is Rada Shake))) that’s where the norms and drinks are 2 times cheaper !! ! sunbeds are usually from the neck for free, there are exceptions, this is when you go along a decent road to the beach that leads through Newton and to the left, there are 2 necks at the entrance to the beach, there are sunbeds for 50 rupees per day, if you even eat with them !!!
24. We usually dined at Fisherman or Lobster Pot - this is 3-5 minutes to the right of the hotel. walk! there delicious!
25. Rum, nuts and similar nonsense were bought in Newton, 7 minutes to the right of the hotel. on foot, there are fixed prices and there is everything!!!
26. Exchange of money in the Elephant shop, which is opposite Newton, cattle is the most profitable, and even change rubles))) 1 dollar = 45 rupees!
27. the village of Candolim, where the hotel is actually located. quiet, there is no entertainment after 23-00, and even in restaurants and cafes nearby the kitchen is closed!!!
28. Right in front of the hotel there is a taxi rank, pt. they offer their services cheaply! compared to others))) for example, for a trip to the night market in Arpora they paid 400 rupees (the driver was waiting for us there for 2 hours), to the market in Anjuna 400 rupees (waited 3 hours), to Old Goa where he drove us in 3 temples and waited for us there 700 rupees, Panaji 450 rupees, to a disco in the Cabana Club 600 with expectation !!! )))
Guys, I kind of told the whole truth about the hotel, it sounds good or bad, you decide!! ! in my opinion the hotel is ok!
P. S. you need to go to India only on the positive, this is a cool country, and the mood should not be spoiled by a hotel or a guide)))
Have a good trip!!! ))))))))))))
