The flight from Dubai to Goa arrives at night. And even two and a half hours of passport control queues for passengers with electronic visas, and then the road from the airport to the hotel, do not delay you until 14:00 - the time of settling in hotel rooms. We were unlucky: at the Soul Vacation Resort and Spa, Colva, all the rooms were occupied and we were offered to start our vacation by leaving our luggage at the reception. Having unpacked our suitcases and changed clothes in the nearest toilet, we decided to go to the beach for a swim.
Leaving the hotel, we turned left and after walking quite a bit along the highway we turned left again, towards the ocean. Inhaling the new smells of the life around us and talking about how good it is when it's warm, we soon found ourselves at the exit to the beach. On the left, some abandoned area was fenced with a chain-link mesh, and on the right there was a cafe, called here a “sheik”.
Although later on traveling along the beaches and getting to know the necks there, especially in the North of Goa, I would not hesitate to call the cafe to our right a restaurant. A man “in the form of a waiter” immediately flew out of this cafe and very persistently but not intrusively, but rather hospitably, began to invite us to visit the institution. What he said made us laugh a lot. At that moment. And only much later we appreciated his words.
- Come and eat with us. We have clean toilets with a faucet. Separate male and female. We even have a shower. Etc.
At that moment, we didn’t feel like eating because we had breakfast at the hotel. We also did not plan to sit on the beach for a long time - we had to settle in a hotel. So we thanked and went for a swim. But in all our subsequent visits to this beach, we definitely came to this particular shake restaurant and occupied 5 sunbeds under a separate canopy for 5 people. Most often, we limited ourselves to ordering 3 cups of coffee because.
The two didn't drink coffee. But this was enough for us to no longer make any financial demands.
The staff is friendly. Prices are not cheap, but slightly lower than the prices of the restaurant in the hotel. In addition, the hotel adds either 16% or 19% tax to the declared prices. Dishes are clean.
Recommended dish: honey crisp chicken (honey crispy chicken).
The neck does have a shower. But most importantly: there are a lot of sunbeds that are in the shade all day. And right in front of the neck, a lifeguard sits all day. He not only monitors the safety of your bathing, but drives away local annoying tourists who, if not rub themselves in the water on naked (in their understanding) white women, then at least “underground” photograph them.
By the way, Colva beach is distinguished by an increased number of such perverts. But that's a completely different story.. .
