In India - the first time. I went, having previously worked out a bunch of information, but still I was not ready))

1. Arrival.
Dabolim Airport surprised by the hustle and bustle. The meeting party, Le Passage to India, was not impressed. We were taken to the hotel, handed an envelope and left. Settled themselves, after almost a day on the road. All the same disorganization and confusion. But again, we were lucky, and instead of the booked standard, we got a Superior Suite without any additional payments.

2. Tour operator.
Not impressed. Special thanks to the guides Roman and Kristina for the exciting excursions. It is clear that they love the country. The hotel guide did not come to the first meeting on December 31, although we waited for her at the reception for an hour. I had to call and, lo and behold, she still appeared to our eyes on January 3rd. Sold excursions and disappeared again. We solved all our numerous problems ourselves.

3. Hotel.

Worth a separate paragraph. An amazing place in every sense of the word.
The official star rating of the hotel is 4+. Plus, as for me, superfluous. Whoever passes him off as an A, let him be alone with his conscience. Our room was spacious, two-story, with a kitchen and a large bathroom. They took it out of hand badly, both for money and without it. Dishes taken out of the rooms were kept on the stairs and railings for days. Two days before departure, they deigned to fill the minibar and, upon check-out, they tried to charge a bill for the 2 liter bottles of water we allegedly drank. Any requests were processed from the 3rd kick. Although they rested on the All Inclusive system, they regularly tried to slip us bills for the drinks we had already paid for. The ironing bill, paid in cash on December 31, regularly, as if by magic, popped up on the account of the room until the very eviction. In total, we spent almost 20% of our time at the reception.

3. Baga.
Rare hole. The beach is terrible, filthy, dirty, packed to the brim with Indians in faded shorts.
We visited on January 1st. They physically made their way to the water through the crowds of half-naked drunken individuals, grabbing their hands and filming everything that happens on the phone.

4. Trade.
Trade anytime, anywhere. Prices go up 4-5 times. Do not make concessions - leave, they will run after you and agree to your price.

5. About the positive.
Excursion "All Goa in 1 day". Super! Intense, informative, interesting.
Ashvem and Mandrem beaches.
