Празднование Нового года в этом отеле (Gala evening) New Year celebration in this hotel (Gala evening)

Everyone has already written about the hotel itself - a large area, everything is green (but I wouldn’t say that it’s very well-groomed, because withered flowers and trees are lying around); breakfasts are dull - that's for sure (especially paid attention to a can of coffee. It seems that it is the same age as the hotel)))) so dirty! They just pour coffee into it without changing the jar). The only plus is the beach - wide, clean, almost deserted.
But I would like to tell you what awaits you if you are forced to celebrate the new year or Christmas there. Our ticket came with the obligatory purchase of New year gala evening. I tried to find out in the travel agency what is included there, but no one could tell me anything. They said it was at the discretion of the hotel. We paid $66 per person. This is good money for India. Somewhere 3 days before the event, the reception posted a menu of what awaits us (snacks, salads, hot dishes, fruits). Attention - only food. Alcohol is not included in this price, neither water, nor juices, nor even tea! ! !
We were offered to buy alcohol from them (champagne 1500 rupees; old monk rum, which we bought in the store for 175 rupees - they cost 500 rupees). We were unpleasantly surprised, because for such money I think that alcohol and drinks should have been included in the price. The evening starts at 20.30. We arrived at 21:00. And they observed the following picture: empty tables with bored faces of people. Several people bought alcohol and sat with these bottles, while the rest just had napkins. No fruit, no snacks, nothing! Another hour passed. I asked the manager, are you going to feed us at all? At 10.30 pm everyone was served a plate with french fries, a small piece of fried fish and 2 pieces of cauliflower in batter! ! ! ! Half an hour later they announced that we could pour ourselves some soup. All announcements were made in English, although mostly only Russians live there. This, too, probably does not decorate them. They could make the main announcements in Russian, if only Russians live there.

Who understood, he ran to pour himself soup, the rest also then realized what they had to do.
After we ate French fries and washed it down with soup, it was already somehow more fun to listen to the "master of ceremonies" of our evening. He sang songs in English and periodically included songs in Russian (such as "Katyusha came ashore ... " and the like) and wanted us to dance hungry to these songs. Those who wished appeared only after eating the soup)))) At 23.30 they announced that they finally had a buffet ready! Everything that was promised was there. But how was it served and at what time!! ! ! ! Complete disappointment. Naturally, people drank, but did not eat. As a result, there was an incident - swimming in the pool) After the waiter was dropped into the pool, and he grabbed the garlands hanging by the pool. They turned off all the music, quickly turned everything off, without any explanation or apologies. Nothing, just defiantly cut off the evening and that's it! !
Therefore, think carefully whether it is worth going to such a hotel on New Year's holidays!

I really liked the beach. Therefore, I recommended taking a hotel in the neighboring village of Cavelossim (which is not 5 minutes walk, as they wrote here, but 40-60 minutes along the coast). It has all the infrastructure (shops, pharmacies, restaurants). The beach is noisier, but you can step aside and you are alone.
