I am writing a review for the first time, although I have been many times in Egypt, Turkey, Thailand, Bulgaria. First time in India. We flew through AirArabia, the planes are good, new, but there is one BUT and this is significant. From Odessa to Sharjah they didn’t feed, they didn’t even give water for free, you have to pay for everything. I thought they would feed me after the transplant, NO. From Sharjah to GOA the same story. I meet this for the first time. You can have a bite to eat in Sharjah between flights, there is a cafe in the waiting room. Arrived at 5 o'clock. in the morning, and check-in, as elsewhere, at 12-14h. At the reception they said that the slave. who cleans up comes at 10. Well, we sat down and waited. After 3 min. we were told there was a room. The room turned out to be one of the worst. The window overlooked a meadow with palm trees, a grove of palm trees, the main street, the beach, although it was covered with palm trees. Therefore, from our balcony you could see everything 317 No. They gave it without extra charge, at the end of the holiday they gave the guy at the reception 5 dollars. and chocolate. The hotel is good, despite the 3 stars. Good location in the center. To the beach 7 min. walk, past the malls, shops, cafes. You can go to the beach through the center. entrance, you can turn right at the first crossroads, walk 3 minutes. and to the left and exit right at the neck of Boomerang (there are signs) A wide, beautiful beach. True, we got to the Spring Festival and Catholic Easter, so for 5 days there were many Indians who constantly photographed us. It bothered me at first, but then I got used to it. The sun is strong, take anti-sun cream necessarily. The territory of the hotel is small, there is a pool with a bar and a cafe. Breakfasts: fried eggs as you like, potatoes, chicken in sauce (sometimes), butter, jams, buns (not rich), watermelon, papaya, various fresh juices, tea, coffee (terrible nesscafe). Little, but you can live. In the SERVISROOM you can order French fries, fish, chicken for an affordable price, there is a brochure in the room with prices. In a cafe, dinner is 1000-1100 rupees. i. e. 200 UAH. for 2 with alcohol. If you have dinner in the neck: shark, barracuda, etc. 1200-1600 rupees. i. e. 350 UAH. for 2 with alcohol. Order fish 1 for 2, it is with salad and fries, enough. Rum is in the bar a bottle of 0.750g. 50 UAH In the shop 28 UAH. As for clothes, souvenirs, bargain, reduce by 2 times, it works. Were on excursions: Mundyshvar, Gokarna, fishing, and complex: waterfall, pl. spices, old GOA (normal). Good guides, they tell interesting stories (DREAM agency on the main street). Tour agents are more expensive. India is a very poor country with 60 percent of the population living below the poverty line. For the infrastructure of tourists, everything is done to a minimum (like it will do) out of hopelessness you accept because there are no options. I mean the necks of their toilets, old, rusty sun loungers, cafes, shops and, in general, the attitude of Indians to life in the pursuit of a better life, they don’t need it and they are so good. I really wanted to visit India happened! But I probably won't go there anytime soon. IT WORTH TO GO! Look at another country's culture, way of life, nature in GOA, it is amazing!! !
