Good day! Our company was the first time in India. . . The level of readiness for possible manifestations of the DRR effect in the "white friend" reached unimaginable heights - each had from 700 to 999 grams of all kinds of drugs and antiseptics, the psychological readiness for unthinkable dirt went off scale! But let's all in a first come first served: the tour was carried out through the tour operator Join Up! on the route Kyiv-Donetsk-Goa 2.10 2011-0.11 201.11h12d. I have no complaints about the work of the operator, except that the host partner in Goa, and this is CONCORD EXOTIC VOYAGE, to put it mildly, are somewhat young and inexperienced guides. . . Of course, not all. . . 2. Carrier-MAU. I want to note a fairly decent food on board, especially on the way back, when it was poured into Abu Dhabi, UAE. the flight was carried out with slight delays, but how can you demand dashing speed from the ground staff of the airport in Goa !!! ! they poured fuel, and then happiness !! ! 3. The airport transfer was carried out on a shabby bus with a dead Conder, and. which was somehow wild, but the bus did not go to the hotel, but unloaded us 300 meters from the reception, although all foreigners were brought to the very doorstep. . . everything would be fine, but pulling your suitcases in a parody of asphalt is not even at the cash desk at all! hotel.... after all the garbage on the driveways, the hotel met us with a subbotnik - a bunch of people with a dashing rustle restored the hotel after the rainy season - everything was whitened and painted. the first days we were only in the hotel was about 10 people. The hotel is very nice, compact, clean and comfortable. Without any, of course, this may not happen at the peak of the season, but we each chose a room for ourselves, 3 people followed us and without any lubrication we picked up the right one for ourselves. And in general, after the overcrowding of many hotels in Egypt and Turkey, the staff was struck by the complete absence of arrogance and "unbeatable" attitude, especially in the restaurant. . . no biting your elbows when drinking a lot of juice or lassi. . . everything is done for your maximum comfort. the choice of dishes for breakfast is above the average level of 3-4 stars, I checked it! But not everything is just interesting to eat for a European. . . many dishes ind. kitchens just breathe fire. . . so we ate omeletik, croutons, Dry breakfasts and a huge number of finely chopped papayas, pineapples and melons with watermelon. . . By the way, gourds, for all their external attractiveness, are somewhat unsweetened. . . you see, the soil and climate do not give. . . By the way, I was pleasantly surprised by 3-4 species of 100 percent. juices from tetrapak, which, in my presence, without any dilution with water, were added to the cooler - this is pineapple, apple and orange. there was also Lassi" and cold. coffee-glass and chocolate. drink with milk - nice !! ! the cook fried an omelet for everyone in compliance with his taste, up to "shake, but do not mix" the yolks. Once we tried to order shrimp and seafood soup for lunch is worthy, but more expensive by 35-40 percent of the average price in North Goa Now the room is very decent, but the conder's blunt in every sense of the location kills all the buzz of its use - it blows stupidly on the bed. . . even though it’s from the “ski”, but it rumbles damn loudly! with the direction of cold air, we somehow turned around, put a mirror and covered it with pillows, which redistributed the air flow to the floor. but nothing can be done about the noise, but at least it worked, what is happiness for India. . further --- due to chronic power outages, they immediately start the generator, but they managed to put it between the buildings, and not take it out of the restaurant - and its rattling added noise at any time of the day. Van. the room is pretty decent. . . water filters are not changed very often, it gives off metal. smack. . . but the most foul thing is that the flushing of the "white friend" is carried out with industrial water, which stinks much more than the cargo being washed off - that's where the ambush is. h. in the toilet is always an indescribable aroma of NIGHTS ON CLEANING! The telly is the usual 21st screen. . . There are no Russian channels at all. Decently freezing refrigerator, electric kettle with a full set of tea leaves and sugar, though all for otd. money. . . even 1 liter of water, which we were promised as a gift upon check-in, then stupidly got into the bill, in fact, it was somehow offensive. . . Massage the salon at the hotel was just starting up, we never tested it. Children's playground for one large Russian child, no more. . . The bass is normal, but the filter. the system does not cope with cleaning at all, when more than 10-15 passengers flop into it, especially natives, the water is covered with some kind of dubious film. . . By the way. very little chlorine. . . until there was a main settlement, and these were the first 5 days, they swam in it, and when the tourist flooded from all the cracks, they stopped using the pool. the hotel is located in a relatively quiet place, literally after 300 m, Hindu crowds begin - around the clock an incessant stream of cars and natives. To the beaches of KANDOLIM and CALANGUTE, as well as. and BUGS from 600 to 1500 m, but there is absolutely nothing to do there - 1500-2000 natives stand on the beach and stare at 5-10 lucky people who ride scooters and "bananas" with a guide and comment on everything merrily. And the incessant crowds of all sorts of garbage vparivatsya, how did they get it with their hubbub !! ! Dear, do not waste time on these beaches, take a taxi and go to MORJIM or ARAMBOL beaches every day. . . this is about 700 Rup14. e. for 4 people a day, but it's worth it, the buzz on those beaches is simply unmeasured!! ! a buzz and no vtyukhivatel of any garbage --- with each neck there are special dogs that chase hucksters, which is how they earn their bread. Feeding. . . seafood prices are quite cheap. . . cooking quality is good. . . Rumors about dirt in the kitchens are greatly exaggerated. . . There is a lot of dirt on the street, but not in restaurants. . . Always use antiseptics, and don't whistle. . . I recommend dining in "Tibet" and "Karambol! . They are 400 meters away. Ice cream was taken only in "Baskin" - cool, but expensive. From drinks I recommend MAAZA - this is 20 percent mango juice from "COCA-COLA" - a cool thing-1 . e. for 1.2 liters. And what kind of yoghurts with mango are stunned!! ! fat content is only 4.2 percent, but it is so besieging that, sometimes, a couple is enough instead of dinner... it's 600 m from the hotel. In general . . this hotel should be used as a base, rest only on the specified beaches. even though it takes 30-35 minutes to get to them, but the buzz-ah-ah-ah-ah!!! ! About excursions... Expensive and indigestible. . to interesting places damn far, and all sorts of waterfalls, elephants and spices are interesting only for novice tourists. . . on the issue of shopping, rather sluggishly. . . rumors of cheap jeans and sports. clothes are highly exaggerated. . . Cheap only shorts, T-shirts and flip flops. . . souvenirs app. quality. . . silver and stones can be taken from the Tibetans, even cool things, sometimes, are found. . . By the way, I didn’t drink cheap fresh drinks at all. . . not only is the price almost always from 1 to 125 dollars, but the choice at the end of October is poor. . . it's not Tai.... By the way, the recommended price is almost always on the packaging of goods in rupees, i. e. . h. Feel free to read and do not let yourself be deceived. And one more thing - I bought myself 3 varieties of not at all cheap ind. tea is complete garbage !! ! only take the production of SRI LANKA !!! ! Summing up. . . The hotel, even with all its shortcomings, I think, according to Goash's concepts, is very worthy and I recommend to stay in it. there is a lot to be learned in comparison. . . although next. times I will live in a decent guest house on the ocean on my favorite beach with a budget of 20 USD. e from two a day. Have a good rest. I will answer all questions.
