Alloha everyone! To begin with, Goa in December is wonderful! I advise everyone - the climate is ideal, the water temperature is +28, the gentle sea, white sand, endless beaches - in general, heaven on earth. So, about the hotel - a great option - a budget, very clean green area, a swimming pool, a wonderful kitchen and, by the way, not expensive. Live music 3 times a week during dinner. Check-in goes without problems, it is preferable to communicate in English. Cleaned everything is OK, the numbers in the photo - everything is pretty decent. Candolim area - go slowly to the beach for 8-10 minutes, well, if you hurry, then 5. The beach itself is very personal, around these necks - beach cafes - yes, really ordering something to eat or drink in them - you get a sunbed for free. Almost no one lies on the sand - everyone uses the services of these cafes. On foot from Candolim Beach, you can walk along the coast to the Agauda Fort - this is a local landmark,
where tourists are taken - impressive views from there. You can also walk to Sinquerim beach and Calancut beach. The rest are better to ride. Near the hotel there are many street cafes, restaurants - you will always find food, including cheap and tasty! There are 2 supermarkets within walking distance of the hotel. Taxi parking right next to the hotel - use it - it makes no sense to go closer to the main road - the price tag is only more expensive there. It makes sense to take a taxi - south - to Colva Beach, impressive white sand, deserted, delicious food, and crazy-cheap fruit market! (From the hotel, the price tag for a taxi to the Colva is 1500 rupees - 750 rubles - for the whole day there and back, the taxi driver will be waiting for you). From the hotel by taxi to the north beach - Arambol - 1000 rupees - 500 rubles - for the whole day there and back, the taxi driver will be waiting for you as well. On Arambol, go to Mandrem Beach, also gorgeous beaches, paradises, unforgettable impressions.
Also from the hotel you can go on an independent excursion to waterfalls, spices and old GOA - the price tag is 2000 rupees - 1000 rubles - the taxi driver takes you all day, waiting and all that - in addition to taxi costs - the cost of a jeep to the waterfall per person is 350 rupee - 175 rubles, entrance, entrance to the territory of the waterfall - roofing felts 50 rupees - chtoli something like that. Then the entrance to the spices is 400 rupees - 200 rubles per person, elephant riding separately 600 rupees - 300 rubles per person. I think a tour with a taxi driver, it somehow comes out much more compact, not tiring - a priority option. All these price tags are naturally for a car, that is, for 4 passengers, and whether you go alone or together or three, it doesn’t matter. Food in general in GOA is absolutely safe, do not get poisoned anywhere, it is better to buy water and drink bottled water. All alcohol is delicious, especially the vaunted Old Monk rum - buy it, stock up on it - I recommend it.
Himalaya cosmetics - very effective - definitely buy. As for spices - it’s better not to take tea and spices on the street - take it better in the supermarket - it’s more hygienic, packed, checked. And Fruits - fruit guys there is something - in winter they are best - pineapples, watermelons, papaya, passion fruit. Choose redder mango, papaya orange and soft, passion fruit - all the same, kiwi like kiwi, fig like fig - but it has an increasingly rich taste. Pineapples are simply incomparable - take the long ones that smell delicious and the most orange in color - tobish ripe ones. Prices, prices... I will announce those prices NOT more expensive than which you need to buy, everything that is more expensive is a hoax for tourists - Pineapple - 80 rupees, Papaya - 50 rupees, Watermelon - 50 rupees, Passion fruit - 15 rupees, Mango - 70 rupees. We divide all prices approximately in half and get rubles. And a little trick - everything you want to buy on the market - buy in the morning!
From 10 to 12 somewhere - in the morning everything is two / three times cheaper than in the evening - all these prices in the evening due to the influx of idle tourists with money increase significantly! If you want to save money keep this in mind.
At the expense of food - I will not recommend any particular shake or restaurant - because there are an infinite number of them - choose the one that you like best in terms of appearance, smell, music, and so on.
Be sure to drink freshly squeezed juices! “They are wonderful there—especially on the southern beaches.
In general, I will summarize my story - Goa is a wonderful beach holiday - beautiful with its atmosphere, unforgettable gentle sea, gentle sun, delicious fruits and Indian dishes, having arrived there you immediately feel this unique buzz and nirvana - so to speak, separation from civilization. (p / s - yes there are cows, yes there is garbage and ever-smoking incense sticks, noisy Indians, eternal traders, dogs, scooters,
crazy traffic and so on - but when you arrive there, see for yourself - you don’t notice anything - as if you are in nirvana! Prazeres Resort - suitable for a holiday in Goa! Test.
