Good afternoon everyone! Rested with my husband 11/18/11-02/12/11, we had a honeymoon. Hotel Heritage Village Club 4 *, very nice. They settled us immediately upon arrival, did not wait 12 hours, since we arrived at 10 o'clock. At the reception, we were treated to a cocktail, brought wet wipes for the face and hands, which is very nice. Our room was standard, settled in the main building. Of course, their room stock suffers, but we didn’t bother, the old air conditioners are very noisy, there is a fan on the ceiling. Hairdryer on request at reception. The hotel does not have Russian-speaking staff, everyone communicates in English.
The hotel works for all inclusive, because. there is not a large selection of cafes on Arossim beach, only one on the beach, and then he overestimates the prices, because there is no competition. The food at the hotel is good, on Mondays and Thursdays there are open-air dinners, theme nights and various shows, live music every day. Only in the evening small chambers fly on the street, they bite very painfully, so take insect repellent with you. The restaurant always has meat, chicken, fish not spicy for lunch and dinner. The food is good, but monotonous, by the end of the holiday it’s already boring and we ate on the beach in a cafe, I advise you to cook delicious fish and seafood there. Upon check-in, we were given 2 coupons for visiting the restaurant, A la carte "Mango", the food is so tasty there, you will lick your fingers. Drinks in the hotel are of good quality, the bar is open from 11-23h. Free pour: beer, whiskey, rum, gin, Romanov vodka, brandy, local moonshine, wine, various cocktails.
The territory of the hotel is excellent, cozy and well-groomed, excellent sunbeds by the pool. There are always a lot of vacationers by the pool, especially the British (Europeans), because they do not have insurance for swimming in the sea, but they are law-abiding, so they swim in the pool)))) On the territory of the hotel, there are 2 shops, also each day merchants come to the hotel and to bargain. shops offer a variety of goods, be sure to bargain.

The beach is super, the delight of such beaches as in Goa, I have not seen anywhere else. A wide beach, the sand creaks like snow, I realized that there is heaven on earth. The hotel provides mats on which you can lie down to sunbathe. But if you, in a cafe on the beach, order any drink, then your sunbed is without extra. boards. My husband and I walked to the Majorda beach, on foot, pleasantly leisurely strolling, there is a cool cafe called "at Kolyan", the menu is in Russian, Russian dishes and they speak Russian. The hotel gives bicycles for free, we rode along the beach, it was so funny, we were happy as children. We took a taxi from Majorda and went to Margao, a nearby town, for some shopping. The taxi driver was a great man, he took us to the exchange office, we changed money at an excellent rate of $ 1 - 51 rupees, but at the hotel it was 48 rupees, we did a great job and paid a total of 600 rupees in both directions. And at our hotel, taxi drivers raise prices, to Colva 700 rupees one way.
We flew from the tour operator "Labyrinth", the host side "La seating", we did not take excursions from them. Before the trip, I looked at a lot of information on the Internet and found a wonderful website "Goamania", the guys are so good Valya and Leonid, everything was super organized, tel. and all the information you will find on their website, I recommend.
The weather was great, it rained a couple of times at night and in the evening. When we arrived, the sea was calm, we even swam far, and in the last week there were huge waves, but this did not scare us, we jumped and swung on the waves.
