Hello.
Stayed together with a friend in Prazeris from 13.01. to 26.01. Most of the time they were absent (rented a house in Ashvem, left for Hampi)
Check-in: 2 am, everything is fine, at first they offered a room at the utility block on the 1st floor, they refused, because. there was one double bed, 2 men uncomfortable. after some wrangling and talking about the last number, they gave a room in the far (the quietest building) on the 3rd floor overlooking the sunset))).
Location: located 250-300 meters from the main Candolim road, more or less quiet at night, but do not take numbers on the road in any case - you will have to wake up with the Indians at 7:00, no more than 10-12 minutes walk to the sea. On the nearest beach in Vlode, there is a ship that has run aground, which is being quietly dismantled (the view is not very good, you have to leave-leave to the right along the beach 1-2 km, the view is clearly better).
Room: room 10-12 sq. m. , combined bathroom -5 sq. m and balcony 5 sq. m. The room is really dark, there is not enough light. Most of the rooms of the same type, there are 2-room, were not in demand by us, because. We only spent 4-5 nights at the hotel.
Staff: everything is fine, the guys at the reception are friendly, answered all questions, do not sleep 24 hours, always in place, friends came to us at different times - there were no problems (but they knew that they were coming to us). Bar workers - everything is ok, cleaning - changing linen - is normal, do not forget to leave 1 USD each and everything will be ok. The fan was noisy - they called the reception in the morning - after 20 minutes they came and replaced the mechanism (1 USD). We communicated with everyone kindly, with light and not very funny))). The Indians took everything positively. Even the tricks of drunken Russians were perceived with understanding (for example, one former athlete tried to teach self-defense techniques to a guard in a parking lot), he smiled, nodded and pretended to remember))).
Meals: nominal breakfasts - toast, butter, jam (self-service). the restaurant itself is mediocre, if there are still no favorite places - it will do.
in the evenings almost every evening a musical program for hotel guests.
We left the money and documents in the safe (2 bucks a day), they always took it without problems around the clock (in some hotels access to the safe is closed from 00:00 to 07:00 !!! .
General impression: in Goa 2 times, we saw hotels both worse and better, this one is generally normal in terms of price-quality ratio, clearly inferior to hotels in Egypt, and even more so in Turkey (keep in mind). In Goa, the hotel is not the main thing, but there should not be any negative, so as not to blur the overall impression.
Negative: on the penultimate evening before flying home, an unpleasant incident occurred in the hotel bar, several companies, mostly Russians, were resting, music was playing, the bar was already closing, we (3 Russian men) arrived from dinner in Baga, went down to the restaurant, I ordered bar 3 cocktails, one of my friends sat down at a table, the other went up to one of the tables (1 guy and 3-4 girls - Russians) and asked if it was possible to sit down to talk to them, he did not have time to finish, like one of the Indians standing near the bar began to shout something loudly in his own way, turning towards that table, then he switched to English and began to make claims to my friend in a rather rude manner, he tried to come up and find out what was the matter, but !!!! ! 2 bar workers tried to stop him and asked him to sit down at the table and not react, the Hindu was yelling so loudly that he was shouting over the music. I stood next to the bar, approached this screamer and told him to be quieter, that people rest here, and if there are complaints, then they can be expressed calmly. He switched to me, began to insult, tried to swing, but did everything, as in a joke (hold me, otherwise I can’t vouch for myself))), when I went towards him, he walked a few steps away, hid behind the bar workers, and continued to yell; bar workers, for reasons unknown to me, also tried to seat me at the bar, asking me not to respond to the cries of this clown. I refused, asked them not to touch me, then they just stood three between me and him.
A girl from the company approached him, because of which he apparently dispersed so much, it did not lead to anything. The most annoying thing was that when this guy realized that he was covered by bar workers, he started shouting things that rarely remain indifferent. . I basically do not react to insults directed at me, outgrew it (dog barks, caravan goes), but insults began to the family, all Russian tourists, our country, and this is in the hotel, 75-80% of which are tourists from the Russian Federation, many of whom were present at the same time and understood if they were at least a little indulging in English...
Everything was very impulsive, there was a real hysteria, it became even disgusting that a man behaves like this....
If it wasn't for the staff, this guy would have gotten a couple of flicks, maybe take a dip in the pool and the incident would have ended, but that didn't happen, I got cocktails from the bar, walked past him (continuing screaming) and we sat down in the far corner restaurant to play cards, the disco continued. an hour later, when the music was turned off and the people dispersed, while playing cards, we heard this guy very loudly (he should have joined the military choir))) arguing with his Russian girlfriend, the scandal lasted 5-7 minutes and sometimes it seemed that she needed help , as she screamed, the words "help" did not sound and they slowly calmed down. I note that my comrades and I were a little tipsy (2 rum-cola cocktails) and reacted quite adequately. After 10 minutes of conversation with the staff, we managed to find out that this guy's name is RAUL and he is the manager of the hotel!!!
The next morning we called our guide Victoria and asked to call the hotel, make an appointment with this Raul, that we are ready to accept an apology.
In the evening we were told that he would be only tomorrow, that we could talk to the hotel manager, we said that we wanted to talk with him, and agreed on tomorrow. Tomorrow it all happened again. The hotel manager apologized deeply, but said that Raul would not be able to meet with us and would not even be able to talk by phone. By the way, during the conversation, the hotel manager showed us an explanatory note (as it was titled) of Raul's Russian girlfriend, in which she wrote that we almost attacked her personally, and the valiant Hindu saved her from the hands of Russian bandits... this paper ("explanatory ", laughs, I can't)))) was written in Russian and in English (later it turned out that the girl had a long affair with Raoul). I asked the manager to show the explanations of the staff, because she was an interested party, but he replied that no one had written anything, and for various reasons refused to call any of them into the office.
Before leaving, we learned from several sources that the Hindu Raul systematically arranges drunken brawls in a restaurant, that there were cases when he inadvertently tried to "run into" someone of their Russians at a distance from the bar (where there is no staff) and received "duley", from -for this he is afraid of Russians and does not like Russians (drinking complexes climb out of him, overcompensation)))..... the bar workers themselves then greatly apologized for covering up his behavior during the conflict and in private conversations they said with a smile that raul reviewed bollywood films about tough guys.
CONCLUSION: in general, the hotel made a normal impression (firstly 2 *, secondly Goa, thirdly the price), but the trick of this drunken type left an unpleasant aftertaste (most of all, as he had all the tourists from the Russian Federation, and how he was like a woman (sorry for slang) behaved during the conflict).
