Very nice people work in the hotel. Not only do they try to fulfill all requests quickly, they will help in everything. They will tell you where to rent a bike, where to go, where to buy something at a cheaper price. They speak good English and understand a little Russian. True, the mentality is different and at first it seemed that they were slowing down a bit) But then we realized that there was a discrepancy in understanding) All the cheerful smiling ones for a small tip of twenty rupees twisted little animals out of towels.

Very nice people work in the hotel. Not only do they try to fulfill all requests quickly, they will help in everything.

True, the mentality is different and at first it seemed that they were slowing down a bit) But then we realized that there was a discrepancy in understanding) All the cheerful smiling ones for a small tip of twenty rupees twisted little animals out of towels. One moment cleaning is daily, but in order to change the bed, you just need to say otherwise I will change it once a week. If you say they change within an hour. A room with a simple but sympathetic design. There is everything you need. Kettle, fridge-mini bar and everything is slightly more expensive than in the store. Tea and coffee set. Replenish as you go. Furniture is not new but not dead. Bed nom mattress good to sleep comfortably. The bedding is normal, not washed to holes, but not new either. There is a mini kitchen. Ceiling fan. Spacious bathroom clean no mold or anything like that. The only watering can in the shower is attached to the wall a little unusual) As for food, we had lunch and dinner right next to the hotel, sometimes on the beach. European dishes are prepared well, there are also local ones. Everything was delicious and fresh. Breakfast was taken at the hotel. Breakfasts are also European, the most ordinary without frills, they cook everything fresh well. But the choice is small, this is not Turkey for you) Yes, we did not pretend to eat anything else in the morning) And the hotel corresponds to its value. The sea, as we wanted, is not far at all, and another advantage over other hotels is that the access to the sea by two roads is one inconvenient across the road, but you don’t need to cross the road on the other way. And their traffic is worse than in Thailand) Going to the sea for a maximum of ten minutes is not in a hurry at all. We reached for five seven even spotted) There are a lot of shops along the way and similar prices are not at all expensive. I think the hotel is a good option!

The whole family went to the sea for the first time. The child is 7 years old. Before the trip, we were simply intimidated by terrible insects, infections and, in general, complete unsanitary conditions! In part, we took less things with us than medicines and antiseptics)))). Relatives did not understand at all why we were going there? The flight - 7 hours - was transferred normally.

Relatives did not understand at all why we were going there?
The flight - 7 hours - was transferred normally. Having stepped on the non-Nashen land, they immediately remembered the phrase "Keep the suitcases ONLY in your hands! " money. And so at every step, don’t take it. But you quickly adapt and at the right time you can no longer react (especially on the beaches! . In general, the first impression after landing is really SHOCK. Just the poor and in places poverty, dirt and garbage! But who said that in Russia in the spring (when the snow melts) there is no garbage and dirt, spitting and dog poop, empty bottles and gaskets (I'm sorry? How are we different? Yes, the same mountains of garbage!
We got to the hotel. It’s quite wonderful: the hotel is not big, not by the road, there are Russians (where would we be without us! ) And Scandinavians and Germans (which especially surprised us)! Absolutely all the staff at the hotel understand English and are ready to chat with you. There are all kinds of plants around the hotel and a playground with sun loungers, at the entrance - a swimming pool. But the water in it is cold, because the sun does not enter the yard. There is a small beauty salon on their territory: massage, manicure, pedicure, coloring, tattoo....The rooms are clean (by their standards) and equipped with everything you need: air conditioning, ceiling fans in every room, refrigerator, mini-bar, tea , coffee, kettle. Only soap is given out a little as it seemed to us. But there is so much toilet paper that... Food can be brought to the room from outside without problems (we ordered more than once), their restaurant also works and you can order food there also in room and at a certain hour. They are very attentive to requests and to children. It so happened that the child overheated and had a temperature. We turned to the reception, but there was no thermometer in the hotel. I was terribly upset, but literally within 15 minutes a nice young man (a hotel attendant) came and brought a thermometer! From that day on, our family became friends with him and in the end we rented a car from him and in this way we went where we wanted and when we wanted, with all the stops we wanted (the advantage is significant, because excursions are simply unrealistically expensive and the child will not endure all this). The hotel also has access to the Internet, in addition, they organize all sorts of parties once a week, parties for dinner. But the regime is still observed: after 23-00 do not make noise!
To the sea (and there it is, and not the ocean, as some believe) about 7 minutes on foot. The sand on the beach is clean, but all different (both in color and shape). ANYWHERE IN THE CITY AND IN RECREATION PLACES you WILL NOT FIND empty bottles and broken glass! This is excellent.
And in general - GOA is an option. The main thing is a positive attitude and in 2 days all the mountains of garbage and wandering cows will seem to you an insignificant minus, because you came overseas, the sun and rest from work and bustle !!! !

Well, actually, like for most of those who have not been, Goa seemed to me a magical exotic place that I knew almost nothing about . . I chose the hotel based on reviews (though not on this site, unfortunately, so I decided to add this hotel). The first impression of Goa is garbage, a lot of garbage, a lot of garbage) The second is cows that go everywhere.

Well, actually, like for most of those who have not been, Goa seemed to me a magical exotic place that I knew almost nothing about . . I chose the hotel based on reviews (though not on this site, unfortunately, so I decided to add this hotel).
The first impression of Goa is garbage, a lot of garbage, a lot of garbage) The second is cows that go everywhere. On the first day, most people go into shock as they after the Egyptians and Turkeys they expect something similar, but there is nothing like it in Goa : ) After a couple of days, the shock passes and then it all depends on how much you can relax and enjoy, and there is a lot of it . . Well, now actually about the hotel. The hotel is very cozy. 4 floors, two-room suites, one bedroom, the second living room. And in the living room there is a sofa that can be laid out and sleep) In the bedroom there is air conditioning and a fan on the ceiling, in the living room there is only a fan. There is no shower stall as such, there is a curtain between the toilet and the shower and that's it, but everything is clean and it seemed to me much more convenient than climbing into the basin of the shower every time. In general, this is only a plus. Breakfast is monotonous (scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs and porridge in turn), but quite edible. I do not recommend ordering lunch or dinner at the hotel. The waiters take orders for the entire menu, and then bring half the dishes and pretend not to understand you when you ask "where is the rest? ". Of course, they don’t include it in the bill, but they still don’t say that some dishes are not available) In addition, there are plenty of cafes on the street 150 meters away (I recommend the Babut cafe right across the street from the hotel, there is a menu in Russian and generally decent). There are a lot of insects, as such in the hotel in some rooms (for example, with friends in room C7) ants live, the rest of the insects fly in and crawl into the light if you open the balcony in the evening. There is a pool, but I didn’t have to swim in it, everything is fine, but I didn’t want it when the ocean was not far away. Although it is 500 meters to go to it . . the road is certainly not asphalt, but you can walk for 7-10 minutes, the road does not tire. There are no beach towels at the hotel. The rooms are cleaned well for a tip (20-50 rupees), there is a minibar, TVs, 2 in a room, telephones, a refrigerator, an electric kettle. Tea and coffee in the room are free in jars. Water and drinks for money. We brought any products to the hotel that we wanted, both alcohol and food and water, no one said a word, and right next to the road there are two minimarkets with any products. The staff is normal. As you are with them, so they are with you, you smile - they smile at you) The entrance to the hotel is open around the clock, at night the guard sits (or sleeps), but as you approach, he will meet you and look at you. Parking nearby, you can leave mopeds for the night. In general, the hotel was pleasantly surprised, except for the food and the pool - then it quite claims to be an Egyptian 4 stars. I recommend )
Everything is written on the beach, there are plenty of sunbeds at each bar, they are free if you drink or eat in this cafe. In short, lie down on sunbeds, order a beer or cola or fresh juice and lie down, you can’t imagine cheaper prices. The nearest cafes on the Tropicana and Fishermen beach (you will go straight to them). We were at the Tropicana, get a massage from local women (Zita and Anita) for 400 rupees, they do it quite nicely and right on your sunbed, and after that every time they will drive away all the beggars and traders from you, of which there are a huge number. Haggle on the market, they announce a price at least 2-3 times higher than the one for which they will then sell. If you are interested in prices for specific products - write, I will inform you)
As for Wi-Fi in all cafes - a lie, I never found a single cafe with free Internet in all of Goa. The megaphone does not receive a signal at all. MTS is fine. But the best is Beeline. In general, take two photos and a photocopy of the visa page from your passport with you (they are necessary when buying a SIM card) and buy a SIM card for 300-400 rupees, SMS to Moscow will cost about 7 rupees, and there will immediately be 300 rupees on your account in this price. Exchange rate: 1 dollar is about 43 rupees.
Have a nice holiday! )
