I was with my wife from 01/22/2012 to 01/29/2012. Everything before checking into a hotel (hotel ** "Villa Fatima") - very good. Problems at the hotel There are no rooms on the upper floors, on the first floor dampness, insects and plumbing are in a deplorable state, hot water periodically disappeared. They don’t clean up, changing linen with extortion, in general, you have to go around for everything, point it out, demand it.

Problems at the hotel
There are no rooms on the upper floors, on the first floor dampness, insects and plumbing are in a deplorable state, hot water periodically disappeared. They don’t clean up, changing linen with extortion, in general, you have to go around for everything, point it out, demand it....
We stayed on the first one with the hope of resettlement, but then changed our minds (because it was only 7 nights), and naturally regretted it, even 7 nights turned out to be extreme - 2-3 nights were ruined due to the fault of our stoned fellow citizens, their behavior is not influenced succeeded, no action was taken by the hotel staff either, although the residents tried to insist on calling the police. The receptionist on duty has no idea about making decisions in such cases, and in general it seemed to me very illiterate (the staff was recruited from other states), but we do not have sufficient knowledge of the English language.
Meals: (breakfast could have been abandoned at all initially) is very meager, moreover, in the case of an early departure for an excursion, there is no “dry ration”, at least water.
A separate topic about the work of a hotel guide: it seems that his task is to promote the tourist on an excursion, and then at least the grass does not grow - very little work with clients and solving their problems is visible.
Excursions: everything is more or less on the level, except for the high cost for not so much information received and the rich dynamics of visiting attractions (almost by running), because the trips are very long.
Everything related to getting pleasure - the beach, shopping, eating in restaurants, moving - all this was predictable and discussed for a lover of extreme recreation more or less familiar with the customs of the country of visit. In general, it's good.
The general impression of the place of visit is that one more page is turned over and it is not remembered from the best side, although the country is very interesting (poverty and splendor live very close by) and the people are good-natured and friendly.

Good afternoon! Perhaps I’ll start with the fact that despite the fact that we have been in Russia for almost a month now, emotions, memories, impressions are still just as vivid, contradictory, unforgettable... I can say for sure that I will return to India again. I will not describe what kind of country this is, I think that everyone should go there, see, evaluate, understand.

Good afternoon!
Perhaps I’ll start with the fact that despite the fact that we have been in Russia for almost a month now, emotions, memories, impressions are still just as vivid, contradictory, unforgettable... I can say for sure that I will return to India again. I will not describe what kind of country this is, I think that everyone should go there, see, evaluate, understand. Before buying a tour, of course, we read a lot of reviews, and mostly not very pleasant ones, I’ll say 50% is not true, of course, for those who are looking for comfort and spend their entire vacation on the territory of the hotel - India is not your country as a whole. As for the Villa Fatima hotel, a 3 * hotel by Goan standards. Comparing other hotels, we came to the conclusion that we were lucky, and despite all the negative reviews, there are much more positive ones, one big plus is the location of the hotel, excellent staff, especially the manager Thomas, it’s worth going back there for him : )), we lived on the 3rd floor, as many write, we had no problems with hot, cold water, all kinds of living creatures in the form of snakes, lizards, etc. they didn’t meet, though there are a lot of ants, sometimes they crawl in the room, and they saw cockroaches a couple of times, the room was cleaned almost every day, the territory is clean, the pool was cleaned according to stories 2 times a day, I don’t know myself, because I prefer the sea, the ocean, yes to the pool and in fact, we spent very little time at the hotel, because. in GOA it is worth visiting all the beaches, each of them is beautiful in its own way, I especially liked Vagator and Palollem, I recommend it to everyone. GOA, this is quite a decent hotel, I would say to my friends and acquaintances that you can go there, of course there are better hotels, but I think that you should not overpay for the minimum time spent there. Yes, I agree with the reviews below, choose 2 and 3rd floor, the rooms on the first floor are bad, in general, we didn’t like the hotel, but we don’t regret the fact that we chose it, maybe someday I will return there... : ) and everyone who is going there, don’t be afraid, of course when you are settled in the room, the first impression will not be particularly joyful, but this is only the first impression : )))) I wish you all a fabulous holiday !! ! : )

About the hotel: The hotel is really 2 * as it is written, more precisely 1.5 * The hotel is 3 floors, but everyone at the reception considers Groung floor, 1-st and 2-nd floors. All rooms are the same, even on the ground floor, though on the top floor. Don't believe what they say that the rooms on the top floor are the best.

About the hotel:
The hotel is really 2 * as it is written, more precisely 1.5 *
The hotel is 3 floors, but everyone at the reception considers Groung floor, 1-st and 2-nd floors. All rooms are the same, even on the ground floor, though on the top floor. Don't believe what they say that the rooms on the top floor are the best. The same.
Hot water is available, but it is not clear when. The rooms are worn out, bedding and towels are rarely changed. Well, what else to expect from 2 *.
Go to the beach or through the yards (faster), but you will see how the gypsies live. I was in shock the first day. Or bypass on the asphalt, a little longer, but not on the sand. I say right away that Goa is a very colorful place. Here the hotel is good, and 10 meters from it, an oilcloth is stretched on 2 sticks and 5 people live there, in complete disinfection.
Nutrition:
Meals include breakfast only. Breakfast is scrambled eggs, boiled vegetables (asparagus, potatoes and carrots), fruit salad (bananas, papayas, pineapples) tea, coffee, buns, toast, butter and jam (butter and jam are sooo delicious).
In total, the food is very spicy, the meat is fatty, so ask for "spicy notes". Do not drink local water and fresh juices and do not add ice to drinks, at least in the first 2-3 days, the boost is guaranteed. Then you can. Careful with seafood, otherwise we overate and it was bad.
P. S. Sea food festivals are held in Anjuna, for 300 rupees ($6.66) entrance, where a buffet with unlimited access to seafood: crabs, shrimp, fish, squid, shark, etc. , etc. Ask anyone, they will tell you .
Staff: Of the staff, only 2 people are normal. Thomas, who works at the reception at night, and Omar, young and cheerful. They will always help, prompt and tell. Thomas is strange at first glance, but do not offend him, he is good. Briefly about him: he suffers from schizophrenia, movement coordination is disturbed and cannot sleep. For all this, he takes pills. He has a lot of money, but he says if he doesn’t work, he will swell and start smoking.
Life:
Everything is very colorful. The poor and the rich.
Everything should be bargained for, for some things I knocked down the price by 5 times. Left-hand traffic, a bunch of scooters that constantly honk. You will see that they are selling something in liter plastic bottles, at first I did not understand what it was, it turned out to be gasoline. If you have driving experience, rent a scooter or bike, and then you will see what real Goa is. In the evening I recommend smearing with mosquito repellents, they can bite. I wasn't bitten hard, someone very hard.
Beach:
The beach is sandy, the ocean is constantly stormy, but not much. During the day it is very hot, the sun is very bright, so smear creams so as not to burn. In the evening after sunset, the rescuers kick everyone out of the ocean. The sunset is just beautiful. I have never seen such a sunset anywhere. They will walk along the beach and offer all sorts of beads, draw a tattoo with henna, pineapples, coconuts, etc. Once you order and the crowd will immediately hang over you, do not let go. On the beaches you can see cows, this is normal.
They have this sacred animal. By the way, there are a lot of dogs, they don’t attack people at all, they are very friendly. On the beach they offer grass, drugs, etc. , be careful. For some reason, Indians who come there to relax like to take pictures with white people, so they can come up and ask you to take a picture with you. By the way, everyone speaks English. Simple English is enough to explain.
Conclusion: the rest is unusual, this is not Turkey and Egypt. Everything is different here, very colorful. A beautiful trash can.

The hotel is in running condition. and only maintained, but at this rate it will soon be covered. That's where the cheapness of the rooms comes from - 999 ind. rupees per night. hot water is not clear when the water is coming? But the besein is drained and refilled almost every morning. They save on filters, since there is a lot of water there.
