The hotel is very good. Excellent value for money. On many sites, apparently very old photos. Now the hotel consists of several multi-colored houses with a maximum of 3 floors, a small pool and some sun loungers. We were immediately struck by the atmosphere. Everything is somehow at home ...A few tables by the pool is a restaurant, a veranda on the street is a reception : -).

When we got to the room we got lost. Two rooms, kitchen, bathroom, 2 balconies - for three it's too much : -). Our room was very bright, the air conditioner worked perfectly (there was no loud noise), it was even turned off at night, no mosquitoes and ants! Very helpful staff, because the hotel has no more than 30 rooms. The food at the hotel is very decent, no worse than in the necks on the beaches and bars in the city. The road to the beach takes 10 minutes.

It passes through a small street, palm trees along the edges of the road, local residents busy with something and, of course, various merchants (by the way, not very intrusive).

There are, of course, small cons : -). For example, sometimes we didn't have hot water (we lived on the 3rd floor). When calling the reception, several people came running, poking around in the taps, after which the water was, but in a thin stream. For us, this was not a big problem, because we traveled in a big company and visited friends. I can't name any more cons.

About rest. All problems with water were brightened up by the understanding that we were in India!! ! We were in this country for the first time. Beautiful sea, sun, beach, very active nightlife. It's just a fairy tale!!!

In seven days, we managed to visit 2 excursions, several nightclubs, a night market, bought ourselves and sunbathed from the heart, we just need to plan the time correctly. Of course, 7 days in India is not that, but very often you can’t go for more.
The beach is very clean! A sea of ​ ​ sunbeds, no crowds. We walked along the beach, reached the famous ship : -) and towards Baga, of course there are more people and much noisier, but we preferred to sleep off after the night on a quiet and cozy beach near the hotel : -). We usually took a couple of fresh juices on the beach, a couple of beers and sometimes some food - this was the payment for the sunbeds. Prices are not very high, but, according to people who were in Goa a few years ago, prices have increased by 4 times! And this is not because we got into the Christmas and New Year holidays, but because many Russian tourists began to come to India, generous and kind : -)! We moved by taxi, it's not very expensive, although we were told that we sometimes overpaid, because it was just the first time in the country and we did not immediately find out what, how much it costs : -).

Life in India is very measured, no one is in a hurry!

At first, it is difficult to get used to the fact that a salad in a restaurant will be cooked for you for 30-40 minutes, and after a few days you get used to it. Order yourself a glass of rum and cola to start. Rum "Old Monk" is a magical thing : -)! The guides of the Sunrise Tour (Vera and Katya) helped a lot to decide on prices, customs and “where to go, what to see”, for which special thanks to them!

In a word, everything was great! I really want to get to India again, and maybe more than one : -)! If you are used to the service of Turkey or Egypt, then be vigilant and do not choose this hotel, because 2 stars are 2 stars. But we needed more and if I go again (and I still hope that I will go : -)) I will go only to the "kopeck piece".

There are a lot of emotions and you can add this text with new memories endlessly, but you can’t describe everything. If you have any questions, you can write to me at jane-star@list. ru, I will try to answer promptly.
