This hotel was chosen by accident. Killed completely. Sucks. There are no words. Shabby rooms, paid scrambled eggs (! ), wet damp rooms, insects in the rooms!! ! Don't buy tickets here!

Hi all!! ! We went to South GOA together with my wife from 07.01. 2014 to 19.01. 2014. I can immediately say that the Karina hotel is just wonderful, a lot of greenery, to the sea on the road 20 minutes at a slow pace (on the right from the hotel), there is also in the backyard there is a gate through which it is 10 minutes to the sea. The people at the hotel are very hospitable and will always help you in any situation, the main thing is not to see yourself as a redneck!! ! ))) Breakfast from 8 to 12 am, includes 2 toasts with jam and tea (we had enough). The restaurant itself and the reception are open from 8:00 to 23:00. Specify your tour operator what time you will be brought to the hotel because after 11 pm there is no one at the reception and you will be checked into the hotel only by 11 am. The room has everything you need for an overnight stay (all days from morning to night were close to the sea): a shower, a bed, a conder, a large balcony, a wooden locker for things. If you want the room to be cleaned, leave the room key at the reception and 50 rupees on the bed will be cleaned perfectly. Regarding the pool: the water is cooler than the sea, but once you can swim there, very clean and large. The peculiarity of this hotel: very nice people, a lot of greenery (the local gardener waters and cleans everything every morning). You won't find litter bins anywhere in India, they just aren't there, you can just put garbage near the road and they will take it away. NO theft, but be careful of other tourists. Shops: on the road to the left of the hotel there is a grocery store where you can buy water, which you must buy for drinking. fruit, etc. There will be an alcohol shop on the right. Alcohol should be bought there, prices are lower than anywhere else. Alcohol: I advise you to try Kingfisher beer, the famous local rum "Old Monac" and wine "Port No. 7" exactly No. 7. Communication: they didn’t take a local SIM card, they contacted all the time via Skype, and why do you need it on vacation. Souvenirs: Always bargain with shopkeepers, they are discounted 3-5 times, and at the end of the holiday, 10 times. The one that is not tanned is better not to buy. Money: Do not change the exchange rate at the airport much lower than everywhere else, it is better to change it at the hotel, they will definitely not deceive you. Mosquitoes: few, but there. It is better to take a fumikotor with you, at the expense of other living creatures they have not met. Shakes: I want to say right away that we went to only one shake called "COCONUT". The best shake in GOA!! ! Its features are that in the short time that we were there, we became friends. I advise you to try grilled shark, crabs, chicken, lobsters and, of course, king prawns. even if something is not on the menu, you can order it and it will be tomorrow. Sunbeds, WI-FI, showers are all free. In the evening, you can ask to take a table directly to the sea or dance to any music that suits you. Service waiters will give odds to even the best restaurants. Dishes are not prepared quickly, but everything is fresh, when ordering seafood, they will bring it to you and show you a choice. If there are problems with English (everyone speaks English), then there is a person (the name is Guru) who speaks Russian. Through it, by the way, you can go on all excursions in India for a lot CHEAPER than through an agency. Spend one day there and you will understand why we only went there. I will also note the waiter Krishna, who became a real friend to us, now we even correspond with him on social networks. networks. Korche "KOKO*S" FOREVER!!!!!!!!! !

Rested in Karina Beach 2 * from 25/01 to 05/02/2012 HOTEL1. Territory: very clean, civilized, small pool, clean, deep. Lots of greenery and flowers. The hotel has a lot of humidity, towels almost never dry2. Number: upon arrival, we asked for a room with air conditioning and a refrigerator. The air conditioning was almost non-existent - there was not enough fan. Cleaning every day, change of towels every day. Bedding was changed as it got dirty - 1.2 times a week. The water in the shower is almost always hot. Tual. there was always paper, soap was only on check-in. There is no hair dryer. The furniture is as usual - beds, bedside tables, a low cabinet, a large mirror. There is no TV. There are enough sockets in the room. To plug the equipment into the socket, you need to select the holes suitable for this and press the toggle switch. There were few mosquitoes in the room - we had a fumigator with us. If you leave food and / or shells open in the room, for example, then soon ants will come to these fragrant things. Conclusion, do not pig in the room3. Meals: The hotel only offers breakfast. Included in the price is always standard: 2 toasts, butter, jam, coffee or tea, juice. The rest of the time they ate fruits: pineapple, papaya, avocado, passion fruit, grapes, banana, watermelon, melon, strawberries, guava, etc. Everything is very cheap. We had dinner at the sheikhs (cafe) on the beach or at the Malibu cafe closest to the hotel. 4. Location: Far from the beach, along a not very good path - 15-20min. On the road 20-25 min. on foot. We rented bikes and rode them. Price 1 is great 50-60rub/day. Tourist center from the hotel is 20-25 min. walk (in the other direction from the beach). We did all our shopping there. Always traded. SUMMING UP INFO ABOUT THE HOTEL I say with confidence - you can live: quiet, calm, comfortable, clean. BEACH We cycled through almost all the beaches from Colva and south, to the cape. The widest beaches are Colva, Benaulim, Varca. The sea is always big waves, but you can swim. Beach cafes (sheikhs) are equipped with sunbeds and umbrellas. We stayed in different ones, sometimes we didn’t take anything in cafes. In the evening, the sunbeds are removed and tables are set. And in the dark, all over the beach, small lights light up - candles are lit on the tables. EXCURSIONS We took a taxi (the day before we agreed with the taxi driver) for 780 rubles. for two. Traveled from 8 o'clock. Under 16: Panji (capital), Old City, Spice Plantation, Elephant Ride. Entrance to the plantation costs 240 rubles per person. The price includes: lunch (buffet), tour of the plantation (with a Russian-speaking guide), small. spice kit. In general, interesting. Elephants ride 2 km from the plantation. Prices: 10 min-420 rubles. riding, photo riding an elephant - 120 rubles. , photo next to the elephant 60 rubles. MOST UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCESThese are endless beaches where you can race on a bike, walk or just lie on a lounger. At the same time, your favorite music sounds in your headphones and you forget everything mundane, you plunge into some kind of nervana, into a trance, into absolute calmness. They are friendly, smiling, calm people. They live very poorly, but at the same time they seem to be completely satisfied with life. These are incomparable fruits, amazing fish. These are amazing sunsets that you can’t tell about, you just have to see them. This is the pleasure of the evening sheikhs - when beautiful music sounds, mixing with the sound of the waves, and you are dancing on the sand to all this splendor....And returning to winter frosty Moscow, you feel that before your mind's eye you will still have for a long time the whisper of waves on the sunny paths of endless beaches, the open spaces of the sea and the gentle sun slowly sinking into them, and at the same time - complete relaxation, complete peace, and boundless fullness happiness.

Good afternoon everyone! Just want to say - NEVER GO TO THIS HOTEL!!! ! Now, in order, when we arrived at the hotel, besides us, another couple checked in on the same day and they brought us at the same time! And they settled us and them in terrible rooms, we tried to change something for a long time, even called the tour operator in Moscow, but in the end they didn’t provide us with anything new, they said that the rest of the rooms were occupied, although this is 100% wrong! The rooms are all shabby, the furniture is very old, there was no TV, refrigerator, hairdryer, telephone in the room at all, and the other guys, in addition to everything, did not even have air conditioning.

And they settled us and them in terrible rooms, we tried to change something for a long time, even called the tour operator in Moscow, but in the end they didn’t provide us with anything new, they said that the rest of the rooms were occupied, although this is 100% wrong! The rooms are all shabby, the furniture is very old, there was no TV, refrigerator, hairdryer, telephone in the room at all, and the other guys, in addition to everything, did not even have air conditioning. And when we returned from walking on the bed before going to bed, most of the pillows were crawling with a bunch of ants! Every day we complained, they tried to do something, or rather they accused us that we were bringing fruits to the room, so supposedly they crawl from the street !!!! ! There is such a disgusting attitude towards the Russians, our room was near the reception, but the staff never greeted us during the entire vacation !!! ! And no one speaks Russian. And at night, all the staff goes home and if something happens to you, no one will help.... But the Americans have excellent rooms on the second floor, and the Russians will supposedly live anyway! It’s really 15 minutes to go to the beach, but if you go along the road (because snakes crawl in the garden and all kinds of living creatures, so if you haven’t done a bunch of vaccinations, then I don’t advise you to go through the garden) there is a terrible stink of rotten fish, because there the fishermen lay out and dry the fish right on the road! I thought on the 3rd day I would start to puke while I was walking to the beach. Therefore, we rented a bicycle in order to quickly pass this terrible stretch of road!!! ! The only thing we really liked was the beach, very beautiful, deserted, clean, we didn’t even find a single piece of paper for the whole vacation, the beauty is indescribable !!! ! We went to the best and most famous beach in GOA Palolim (they go on an excursion there) and realized that we had wasted money and time, because our beach is 100 times better!!! ! In general, I advise you to take a hotel on Benalim beach, but definitely not this one, there are a lot of cool hotels there!! !

Vacationing in January. What can be said. Budget option, very modest. If you take it as an option to overshoot, then it's good. The rooms are cleaned every day, if you do not forget to leave for tea. then the clothes will be fresh. To the sea dolekovato 15 minutes slowly.
