more precisely, we choose between GOA and Zanzibar. What do you advise? Haven't been there yet, conflicting reviews don't allow you to make a balanced decision. Thanks everyone for your help

Oooh definitely Zanzibar! the picture and scenery are much more beautiful.
as for me, so Zanzibar is something more civilized, neater and "more hygienic".
All the same, Zanzibar is the Indian Ocean in its purest form, but Goa is the Arabian Sea.

We were in Zanzibar and south Goa (Palolem and Betalbatim), and there and there their pros and cons. Zanzibar is a very beautiful ocean, strong tides, in some places up to 2-3 km, cleanliness is only in hotels, food is not cheap , the population is extremely clingy, they offer everything from a sister to hard drugs, our garage cooperative is palaces compared to the housing of the locals, most live without electricity, a lot of salty children in flies, if you are ready to ignore the local population and horrendous poverty outside the hotels - you will be happy;)) Palolem - the sea is ordinary, clean, I liked the atmosphere, the infrastructure is developed - cafes, shops, transport, on the left is the beautiful Colomb beach, the food is relatively inexpensive, tasty, cons - directly in Palolem (first line) terrifying housing for crazy money. we lived in the most expensive room in a two-room apartment, there it was a wooden house, like in a pioneer camp, Betalbatim is normal housing, you can walk a couple of kilometers in one direction and the other, it’s not interesting.

A couple of cafes on the beach, a couple of shops, the infrastructure is not developed, taxi drivers do not bargain, I didn’t like it at all. Goa is more civilized, but I want to go back to Zanzibar, it's very beautiful.

were also in the South of Goa, in one of the best five, the only country in which managed to get poisoned with consequences, the people are no less annoying, especially children.
Therefore, if a beautiful picture is a priority, definitely Zanzibar.
As for me, Goa is a resort that either really likes (Ayurveda, meditation, etc.) or completely repels.

Compared to Zanzibar, they don’t stick to Goa at all :)) And the offers there are quite modest :))

hanno4ka, everyone has their own opinion, at least in Zanzibar they didn’t climb up to me every time just to touch it, in India the cult of light skin, and this annoyed me the most when they just took hands.
All markers are different in taste and color.
And again, many people go to Goa more than once and in 2k, and in hostels, and in general for a month, I would not fly there for any price, but this is purely my personal perception. Although there were no complaints about the hotel at all, one of the best hotels where I was at that time.

I was neither there nor there, but I would choose Zanzibar between these two options, I didn’t hear a single bad review about him, but I heard about Goa.

And I would choose GOA. And that's the North. I've been there 3 times, I'm flying to NG again. The very atmosphere. You arrive rested and happy. About the dirt is very exaggerated. The beaches are clean. There is not much more dirt on the streets than in our backyards. The people are very good-natured and this good-naturedness is transferred to the tourist if you go there with good intentions. The food is delicious and never poisoned anyone. You just have to eat in civilian necks. The sea is beautiful but wavy. It is better to choose Candolim, the infrastructure is more developed. But in Arambol there are a lot of impressions and relaxation. One sensei is worth something. He goes to India for the atmosphere. And no one will bother you if you do not want it.

Do not see the immoral image of rest and observe basic sanitation for yourself and vaccinations in GOA are not needed.

Appreciating what nonsense you can sometimes read here ...
Hepatitis A does not choose people for "immorality". It is where there is dirty water, dirty hands and food that was grabbed by these hands. Do you know what I'm talking about?
And in normal countries, it is included in the national vaccination calendars. We do not include. Therefore, I remind you that those who wish to visit dirty poor countries need to think about protection themselves.

I was in Zanzibar in December. The water is warm and the sun is merciless. In order not to get burned, during the day I swam exclusively in a T-shirt and a hat with a brim. Cream spf 60 or more - the most it. We lived in the northern part - Nungwi. There, the sea is not as bad as in other parts of the island, but during the day there is still a low tide, and then, in order to swim, you need to walk 200 meters, trying not to step on the hedgehogs, of which there are quite a lot. Bathing shoes are required.
Otherwise, everything is fine and exotic-African.

Pachok? but hepatitis B))) chooses by "immorality". And hepatitis A is a disease of mostly dirty hands. If you put everything in your mouth with dirty hands, then you can pick it up in Moscow. Now there are a lot of hygiene products (sprays, wipes, gels) to protect yourself from this and many other misfortunes.

Exactly. What does it have to do with washing your hands if the catering staff do not wash them and the water is all contaminated? Or someone sneezed into the dish.
Hepatitis B can be picked up during medical procedures and through saliva. This is in addition to the immoral ways that have sunk into your soul so much :)

somehow I had to see how they cook in sheks in Goa and what kind of water they have there, there is no running water. in one container, both hands and food are washed and washed by cooks in the same water.
Hindus don’t know what hygiene is at all, it’s not customary for them, it’s normal for them to swim and drink water from the Ganges in which they burn corpses and drain the entire sewer.
Goa, of course, is a tourist zone and at least somehow they are trying to keep it clean, but the risk of catching some kind of infection is high.

About Zanzibar more than one-valued reviews had to be heard, namely, in the key *liked*. And about India from one extreme to another. Personally, such opposing opinions always alarm me.
