From the hotel to the beach 7 or 10 minutes on foot, 600 meters near the path past the villas. If you go to the Newton supermarket and from it opposite along the street past the traders down to the sea, then exactly 1 km.
Rested with my husband at the Perola Do Mar (Pearl by the Sea) North GOA, Candolim from October 19 to November 1.2014. We are prepared for the trip and know what to expect. We already rested in GOA in April and we know about the dirty streets and the rest, you won’t scare us with this - anyway, there are much more positive than negative in India.
Sheks on the beach have not yet worked in October, they are only rebuilding after the off-season, some rented sun loungers for 100 rupees. Opposite the central streets to the beach, a couple of sheks worked. There are more people and working cafes on Baga.
WIFI. THERE IS NO INTERNET IN THE HOTEL!! ! In cafes and restaurants along the street, they give you a password for free if you order food from them. We dined in several restaurants, they cook for a short time and are cozy with normal internet in Cafe Jazz, live music, I liked it more almost opposite the Floyd's Hut hotel, the prices are average, very tasty and the Internet is with good speed.
HOTEL - a small, one courtyard with a swimming pool and a cafe, along the perimeter of the entrances through the spiral staircases to the rooms. For 2 * it is quite good. The hotel is well located both to the sea and to supermarkets, there are 2 of them nearby, leaving the hotel on the right side. Dolphin 200 meters from the hotel and even further 200 meters supermarket Newton. Newton is bigger, it has everything and products and cosmetics, small electrical appliances. Pork sausages 500g = 160 rupees, peeled frozen shrimp 500g = 300 rupees, cookies from 5 rupees per pack, juice 1 liter = 95 rupees, electric kettles from 750 rupees, etc.
Compared to last season, everything has risen a little in price, Old Monk rum 160 rupees 750 ml.
ROOM - standard No. 401 on the 2nd floor is two-room, the view from the balcony is on the roadway, and the bathroom has a window to the pool-cafe to the yard. Everything in the room worked! Five sockets, air conditioning - cooled normally, even had to be turned off at night, there is a TV - there are no Russian channels, there is a ceiling fan in each of the rooms, the refrigerator looked very miserable, but it froze and cooled perfectly, a boler of 5 liters, it warmed up perfectly, there was always water, a bucket with a ladle is standard for India, there is no curtain in the bathroom, so the toilet was splashed with a shower, there was toilet paper and soap too. In another room, a small cabinet with 7 trempels is attached to the ceiling, a table, an ottoman and two armchairs, a bedside table with a mirror. The bed is a separate issue, I called it the "killer mattress" The mattress made of coconut coir is hard and has a small pillow, it was very uncomfortable to sleep, the whole body ached in the morning, on the fifth day they got used to it. Towels and bedding are not snow-white, but freshly laundered by the smell (we took our own). The light was often turned off for a short time, and once for half a day. At first, they were upset that the signals and barking of dogs, the mooing of cows could be heard from the road, but they quickly got used to it, especially since it was heard from 6 am to 12 am, and it was at night that everything calmed down. But from the yard sometimes drunken cries and songs were all night long, and mosquitoes flew through the window into the bathroom.
FOOD - breakfast included in the tour 100gr. the waiter brings juice and two toasts, and butter, jam, tea, coffee, hot and cold milk can be taken by yourself and again. We had dinner twice at the hotel restaurant, they cook delicious but sooo long, they said 20 minutes and in the end we had to wait more than an hour, they don’t fight mosquitoes at the hotel, they bite around the clock (in no Candolim restaurant we were bitten by mosquitoes). If you bought fresh fish or shrimp from the market, you can order to cook at the hotel, regardless of the quantity, the chef needs to pay 500 rupees.
BEACH - Candolim is different from Baga. Entering the sea, there are sand alluviums, sometimes higher or lower, as if by steps, and the sand on the shore from the storm is also mounds. We went to Baga there, like in spring, even sand and a smooth entrance to the sea, which cannot be said about Candolim beach. In Candolim, fewer locals bothered to take pictures and stare at the whites, fewer sellers bought an elephant. Here the Indians from under the silence filmed on our cameras. The Arabian Sea of the Indian Ocean in October was still very stormy and strongly tightened and carried away, it is very difficult, even impossible, to cope with the waves. My husband saved me, having lost his strength, he drank water and coped with the current. And half an hour after that, all the rescuers of the coast rescued the guy-athlete, they arrived on time.
WEATHER in OCTOBER - for 14 days there were showers for 4 days in a row, when it rained, the air temperature was +25, in sunny weather during the day +30, at night +26, the water in the sea is always +27 in the morning and +29 in the afternoon, for me it is PARADISE! !!
SHOPPING - home rum, spices, fruits, Ayurvedic pastes, creams, cashew nuts, Assam (Assam) and Nilgiri (Nilgiri) tea, (Chyawanprash) chyawanprash - to strengthen immunity, restore the protective functions of the body and is rightfully considered the elixir of life.
EXCURSIONS - this time we did not take. We ourselves went to Fort Aguada, a Portuguese fort built in 1612. We went and went by bus for 10 rupees per person to Baga, Calangute, to the fish and fruit market. Due to flooding in the jungle, some tours were still closed. Dudhsagar waterfall was opened in the last days of October. Sea excursions in such a storm are dangerous, 6 people swam with the locals, the boat capsized, 3 girls fell under the boat and could not swim out...
The TOUR was taken from TO Join Up, the air carrier Fly Dubai, the flight from Kyiv-Zhulyany to Dubai took 5 hours 50 minutes on the way, three hours re-registration for the Dubai-Dabolim flight and 3 hours 15 minutes flight. The road from home to the hotel took us a day and 1 hour - hard.
VISA - we issued upon arrival in GOA $ 60 per person - buying a ticket from a tour operator up to 15 days, in a group of at least 4 people, you need to submit lists 72 hours before departure. Then the visa to Goa will be stamped upon arrival, but the passport had to be handed over to the state migration service before the return flight home.
What can I say about the rest in a nutshell - I WANT TO GOA AGAIN !!! )))
I hope and believe that it will work! All tourists of positive emotions and wonderful impressions from trips!! !
