The hotel is quite decent. Service is polite. Breakfast is poor - only bread, jam, butter, coffee, tea. There is a karaoke bar with a lot of Russian pop music. The bar is a bit shabby, but few people rest in it. The pool is cold but very clean. Mostly Russian tourists, many young people. The guide asks a lot for excursions, for example, elephants cost $ 120, and we went to the local and bought for $ 40. The guide is only in English. Who understands well - it's great! then we took three more excursions with him in the same salon. Goa is dirty. The hotel told us that theft is possible and that they are not responsible. We asked not to clean our room and took the key with us. As soon as we arrived, we were settled on the 6th floor, where lizards constantly climbed up to us. who does not tense up is not afraid of these babies, then the number is good. the most important thing from the balcony was a beautiful view of the courtyard. and palm trees around. But to go up to 6, we were tediously asked to move us to the first one. A couple of times there was a musical evening near the pool where the Hindu sang famous English songs. He sang pretty well. There are many cafes nearby. Hindus willingly bargain. We went to the night market, not impressed. Although there was some kind of performance, but the goods are the same as everywhere else and the prices are higher. although I bought flip flops there, they asked for 850 bought for 250 rupees. Indians are humble and friendly. We visited almost all the excursions that are famous. Loved the waterfall tour. But we went to swim dolphins, but practically didn’t see them as such. but on the other hand, we were taken to a deserted beautiful beach, fed with a variety of products, and in general, I did not regret it. Moreover, the tour cost only 17 dollars.
