Достойный отель, но есть небольшие замечания Decent hotel but some minor issues

We arrived at the hotel on January 15 in the morning around 10. We were greeted with a glass of fresh pineapple. The staff is smiling and friendly. However, they said that you have to wait until 2 pm for check-in, but 1000 rupees (about $ 8) did their job and we were settled in a nice, spacious room overlooking the ocean (in principle, they are all with ocean views) for 3 m floor. The room is really big, clean and nice. Cleaned up every day. The room has an electric kettle (tea, coffee), an inexpensive mini-bar. But there are small ants in the room, which come from nowhere, as soon as you put a piece of food on the table. No other living creatures were seen in the room.
There are flies on the beach. Mosquitoes were not seen, although on the advice of tourists they collected funds from mosquitoes. Were not useful.
The territory is small, but compact and there is enough space for everyone without the visibility of the crowd on the beach. On the beach there are sun loungers under umbrellas, and there are just in the shade of trees. It was a little annoying that every morning I had to look for a sunbed, since the best ones were always busy (they throw a towel or a book on them). Although, I think if you get up at 6 in the morning, you can take a good place. We got up at 7 and already there were difficulties. It even happened that we were robbed of two towels and a sunbed (pre-occupied), but this happened only once.

Breakfast is good, but monotonous, ie. give the same thing every day. By the end of the holiday already a little pall. Lunches and dinners are much more interesting - the dishes are constantly changing. They cook well. But, if you only have breakfast, then dine in the hotel restaurant, as for me, is a little expensive - 3000 rupees per person (23 dollars). In a restaurant on the beach for this money you can dine together (fish, shrimp, beer or fresh juice). Although downstairs on the territory of the hotel they cook tasty and inexpensive (fried fish or squid - $ 10, large shrimp - 15, lobster - 20). All this is served with rice and vegetable salad.
The hotel area is separated from the municipal beach by a fence, where local women hang and sell all sorts of rags every morning. Access to the beach through the gate. Locals are not allowed to enter the hotel. Two guards are watching. This is very good, because otherwise there would be no escape from the beachboys. They run up and start offering you something, regardless of whether you want to talk to them or not. It's not very easy to get rid of them either. It’s unrealistic to walk along the beach strip yourself: a native immediately runs up and starts to sell you a standard package (excursions, massage (and only he does it well, while everyone else doesn’t know how at all), a restaurant, etc. ). They are especially zealous while you are still white, i. e. not tanned, i. e. in their opinion, newcomer and do not know anything yet. Those. It's time for you to get something. Then, when you turn brown, then interest in you slowly weakens (they switch back to the new "whites").
Beachboys have a clear division into groups and their own work etiquette. those. there are several groups to the left of the gate and several to the right. If you started to communicate with the "leftists", then the right ones cannot offer you anything that day, and vice versa. They don't even have the right to talk to you that day. One of the beachboys told us this. Therefore, choose with whom you will communicate and communicate only with them. This will make it easier for you. We talked with the "left". There is Ricky and Dima. Ricky speaks Russian better, Dima speaks worse. Normal guys. If you need anything, they will always help. We went on excursions with them for cheap, changed money through them, dined, dined at their restaurant.
They asked me to write a good review about them). All their business is only with Russians (Belarusians, Ukrainians). Bourgeois do not communicate with them very much.

Of the bourgeois on the beach, there are many Germans, there are British, French, well, Poles, Czechs.
In general, I liked the rest. There was sunshine every day. It only rained once, and that was in the evening. The air temperature is more than +30, the water in the ocean is at least 26 degrees. Constantly light breeze, thanks to which there is no feeling of the scorching sun.
It gets dark early there.
Although the sun is dangerous there. I burned out on the first day, although I smeared myself with cream and lay exclusively under an umbrella.
And so in general the feeling of the rest is super!
And have a nice holiday!
