Отдых удался Rest was a success

We rested in this hotel from March 13 to March 24.2008. The first time in India.
Pleasant hotel, got a room for three without any "tip" 2-room on the 1st floor with a balcony and access to the garden. There are 2 air conditioners and 2 ceiling fans in the room, safe / which is important /, toilet, shower-2in1, kettle and every day when cleaning the room, we were replenished with tea, coffee, sugar, cream and water. The bed linen is clean, the towels are clean, the showers are clean and changed daily.
There are beach towels at the hotel / free of charge / and you can take them to the ocean beach.
Now about the food at the hotel. We only had breakfast / in my opinion, it was the only one that everyone had here /.
The feeder alternated every other day with its monotony of a "buffet" table of 10-12 dishes, scrambled eggs and fried eggs, integral attributes, went with a bang. In the evenings in the meadow

tables were set up in the hotel's inner garden for those wishing to dine at their own expense, but there were not many of them, because in shek on the ocean you could taste seafood for dinner at 50% cheaper, including excellent Indian Kingfisher beer
and Old Monk rum.
So I got to sheks / the name of the beach buildings for food /. There are a lot of them on the coastline, the closest to our hotel are Lloids, Baltons, Zeebop. the hotel does not have its own beach, you sunbathe on the sunbeds of one of the shacks, for this it is enough to buy a bottle of water or beer from them, ideally, if you have lunch or dinner, a sunbed is provided for the entire period of rest for free. Having read a lot of information on the Internet before the trip , we chose Shek Lloids - the owner of Rocky. Do not be afraid of the nondescript look of the plastic tables and chairs covered with oilcloth. The guys know their business and will cook you food and seafood with excellent taste. They are very jealous if you go one of the evenings to others / we “cheated” on them three times, but I wanted to try it everywhere /. Rocky cooks better. Now about prices. a bottle of beer. We usually dined with fresh seafood: sea bass, barracuda, shark, flounder, king prawns, and of course beer. 500 rupees, r fish from 600 to 900 rupees. Dinner turned out to be $ 8-10 from the nose / fish was taken for 5-6 people /.
Excursions. We took through MANAR TOUR / the official tour operator in India for all our Russian tour operators / a 2-day trip to HAMPI at a price of $ 230 per person. On the beach, a Russian-speaking girl offered for 160, but we were overcome by doubts and we decided on a solid organization. Of course, it's worth it, you need to see this miracle with your own eyes. We were only unlucky with the guide "named" MIKHAIL SOKOLOV. It turns out that you will transport it at your own expense. We wrote a complaint against him and received $ 20 per person. We no longer contacted Manar and went to the waterfalls, Palolem beach with taxi drivers - it turns out 2-3 times cheaper / waterfall $ 30 including jeeps , beach - $ 10 per person /. The taxi driver's name is PETER, you can find him on the beach, to the left of Rocky's shek, if you look at the sea / a landmark is a single pillar with chairs and a canopy /. With him you can safely go to the nearest village of Colva / 15 km / where you can find vegetables, fruits, shopping arcades with rags, corals, jewelry and a lot of different things, including Ayurveda with body massage / 900-1500 rupees session 1-1.5 hours /. A trip with a wait of 1.5-2 hours will cost you for free with one condition of Peter - he will take you along the road to 4 expensive stores that do not oblige you to buy, and for this he receives coupons that are more expensive than money for him. shops and waiting for 2 hours ask for 200 rupees, and then you have to haggle for a long time.

And further. Do not change money at the airport upon arrival. The rate is low, lower than at the hotel, and in addition to everything, the word “commission” sounds and you miss 200 rupees - they are bred like suckers !! ! Porters will carry your luggage to the bus and will ask for 500 ross. rubles, while showing the bill itself. They gave him $ 1 and, in pursuit of a kick in the ass.
There were no serious stomach problems, they washed their faces at the hotel, brushed their teeth, took a shower with tap water, just wash your hands with soap more often. We didn’t see any stingrays in the sea, the water and ocean waves are amazing, now it’s clear why Vladimir Volfovich wanted to urinate there your legs.
Many thanks to the meeting guide from the Capital Tour Natasha / unfortunately we don’t know her last name /. A very nice, sympathetic girl, throughout the entire period of our stay helped us in overcoming emerging issues.
Enjoy your holiday on the gentle coast of GOA, take care of your skin from a completely different sun like in Egypt, Thailand, not to mention Turkey, you burn instantly, even in the shade, take a cream of at least 18 degrees of protection and you will have a lot of impressions !! ! !
Thanks for attention.
