Это не тянет на 5 звезд This does not qualify for 5 stars

Rested from February 14 to March 1.2014. About Lallit Golf Hotel, Goa, India. It doesn't qualify for 5 stars. Barely 4. Very far from the villages and shops! ! Dabolim Airport is 50 km away, at least by road, which will require at least 2.5 hours of driving. The road is terrible: serpentine, non-observance of the rules by all road users, especially cows, mooing and standing motionless at any point along the route in the middle of the road. Worse than cows are only people slowly crossing the path anywhere, not to mention the sudden appearance of scooters rushing along the oncoming lane. In the end - traffic jams. Thus, any taxi ride is time, risk to life and nerves. There is no pharmacy and no ATM. You need to take a taxi to the nearest one and it’s not a fact that it’s not broken. The hotel takes bank cards, but the system freezes often.
The hotel is very large, remnants of the old luxury of the 60s. The main advantage is a large beautiful well-groomed park and proximity (about 300 meters) to the sea. The rooms are spacious; 58 m2. The rooms have everything you need. The beds are comfortable. They clean up badly, there is dust and dirt in the corners. Again, I complained to the reception and zadolbali us visits with questions: "What do you need and what is missing? "
There is only one pool and it is small. Not enough for such a big hotel. The rest of the pools are decorative with fountains. Every weekend (4 days in a row) at the hotel is a wedding. There were 800 guests with us . . Horror: noise, din, fireworks, drums, and for some reason near the pool or under the windows of the buildings. The kitchen only works for them. After the wedding, breakfasts become noticeably better.

Swimming in the ocean is dangerous. Even from 7 am the waves are already large and of complex geometry; not everyone can do it. I swim well even in a storm, but my leg was pulled into the hole from the wave, and I could hardly cope. There may have been strong winds during your stay.
You only need to take breakfast. Not enough cereals (water instead of oatmeal) or side dishes. Lots of Indian inedible food. Every day sausages, scrambled eggs. Lots of juices and fruits, good pastries. Dinner or lunch cost $18: very good. But for India, it is expensive. Near the cafe with the loud name of the USSR (outside the gate). They cook tasty and cheap. I will still go to Goa, but in January and to another hotel.
I consider it my duty to warn about the extortion of a Russian-speaking hotel employee named Chatran, who was named to us at the airport as a representative of the Globus travel agency at the hotel. For three days we could not get a room with two beds (this was the condition of the contract) and even two blankets were not interrogated. These days there was a wedding and our room was rented to others. Chatran shied away until I went to the manager and got it. He is a bully and an extortionist! For an excursion at the price of $ 80, I tore off 150 per person, but I wanted 170! . I hesitated and he stuck to my girlfriend, crossed with her in the room and ripped off her until I was 300 dollars! . Drive him in the neck from the hotel
And how we almost missed the plane due to the fact that he did not provide a transfer to the airport. In the evening before leaving, we reminded him of the transfer, but he replied that it was none of his business. But he began to impose a service: for a lot of money, wrap suitcases with foil. Such a business is arrogant and self-made. The day before, I went to the reception and warned about the departure. In the morning, an hour before the planned departure, I also reminded. Zero attention. It was an exquisite extortion, because. some man with his wife, furious with waiting, without waiting for his transfer, grabbed a taxi for big money. This is what they wanted from us. But I threw a scandal and threatened them, and we also called the tour operator. They gave me a car. And nerves, and panic to be late! I do not recommend anyone to go to this hotel.
