Flight:
We flew with the North wind, the B-757 plane was clean, did not stink, we were fed several times. We arrived early in the morning, everything is standard: fill out an immigration card on the plane while you are standing in line, the staff distributes cards with a question about luggage, they ask about a satellite phone in luggage, gold bars and seeds of exotic plants - the funny thing is that no one checks luggage, but without a completed card on each person (we had one suitcase for two) you will not be released. Attention! immediately after the card is handed over, the ZONE OF DIVORCE FOR MONEY begins - sticky porters and barkers jump at you at the exchange points. "Help with a suitcase" will cost you 1000 rubles per 100 meters and the exchange rate will obviously be horse. the guide of the travel company meets immediately at the exit - for some reason they are not allowed into the airport. if by this time you have not yet been scammed for loot - go to the bus 100m downhill to the right.
Hotel:
We chose the hotel based on online reviews, so there was nothing particularly unexpected. We lived in a villa - across the road from the main area with a reception and a restaurant. The villa is a two-story room with its own entrance, a refrigerator, 2 air conditioners and fans on the 2nd floor, a large balcony under a canopy, 2 bathrooms and something like a kitchen area. The hotel is clean, probably "sterile clean" for India. The check-in was clearly on schedule, despite the fact that we arrived at the very beginning of the season and the villas were empty. We knew this in advance, so we immediately changed in their pantry at the reception, drove off to the beach and returned by 12:50. Wi-Fi is very expensive and, according to some reports, very unstable. It is really strange why the hotel does not have Russian-speaking staff, although 80-90% of the guests are Russian-speaking with very modest English - as a result, most of the communication with the staff is with gestures. Breakfast - modest, but tolerable for 3 *. My wife went to the spa at the hotel. The impressions are generally positive, although expensive and constantly trying to fool either in time or money. In general, cheating on loot by all possible and impossible methods is an almost continuous process in India from the moment you leave the sterile zone of the airport and ending with boarding the return plane. Get ready. Who doesn't like haggling - probably India is not for you - IMHO even the Arabs have achieved less in divorcing tourists for loot. I don’t understand people who buy jewelry in India when they try to breed you 3-4 times even on a lousy rag and slip junk on them. or Are all buyers professional jewelers?
Beach, sea, merchants and necks:
on the way to the beach a couple of shops - to buy or not - it's up to you, but the exchange rate of bucks for rupees is good. Shakes (cafes on the beach) are concentrated in groups, I recommend trying a few or at least walking around, looking at the menu and asking for WiFi - for example, I didn’t like the vaunted Rosa by everyone - the menu is modest, there is no Wi-Fi. The competition is big - barkers pull in the necks of all those walking along the beach. Personally, we liked the necks most of all, which are located to the left of the exit to the beach, 200 m (towards Colva). The beach itself is chic - wide and empty, crabs rush along it in large numbers, at low tide you can find starfish. The coast is gentle and the depth grows slowly. The ocean itself is warm, rather muddy, sometimes plankton hisses, but not critically. From time to time you can see some fish, but it makes no sense to take a mask. At night, a small snake was seen on the beach - poisonous or not - they did not check.
Around the hotel:
Excursions were not taken - at the beginning of the season, Pegasus had only a couple of excursions of the "sightseeing tour for $ 50 per person. " Taxi drivers offer "spice waterfalls" - read the reviews - were not impressed and did not go.
We went in the direction of Betalbatim inland along the road (there is nothing special to see, there is a Zara expensive souvenir shop, but any taxi driver will happily take you there), along the beach to Colva (30 minutes on foot) and to Majorda (an hour and a half one way) walked along a completely empty beach.
In Colva, there is one street from the beach (it makes NO sense to go left and right) - shops, merchants' tents, there are several ATMs. Goods for an amateur, mostly junk at horse prices (bargain until the price drops by 2-3 times) to his wife, their appearance reminded domestic bazaars of the early 90s. We bought fruits (negotiate) souvenirs (negotiate strongly) water-beer (no bargaining), withdraw money (you can try to bargain, but I'm afraid the ATM will not appreciate the impulse).
India as a whole:
In short - not impressed, the prices are generally higher than in Thailand, the service is several times lower. Nothing to see and expensive. Specificity - dirt, beggars, divorce for loot. In short, India is not my choice.
What to take with you: documents, the main money can be carried on plastic - there are a lot of ATMs BE SURE to take a high-quality flashlight or two with you - power outages are regular, and at night you need to look under your feet when walking.
