I'm usually too lazy to write reviews, but I couldn't resist.
I'll start in order.
The hotel itself consists of several two-story cottages, basically: 4 rooms in each.
Staff: very polite, always interested in how you are doing, how you spent your day. They helped in everything.

Check-in: The hotel adheres to the rules that both check-out and check-in at 12.00, which was a pleasant surprise, since we arrived at 11.30. While the documents were being filled out at the reception, they brought us cold lemonade, which was very handy) Everything was processed very quickly, we were escorted to our house.

Description of the room: We got the first floor. It’s a pity that it’s not the second, but the location of the house is ideal. Equidistant from both the hotel restaurant and the road) Room - J1.

The standard room has: a bed, a bedside table, a telephone, a wardrobe combined with a chest of drawers, a mirror, a chair, an armchair, a rather large and well-functioning mini-fridge, a sink, a tabletop and on it: two glasses, two glasses, two cups, teaspoons , tea bags, kettle. Everything was clean, tidy, the kettle was almost new. At the entrance there is a small terrace, there are two wooden chairs with soft capes. Balconies on the second floors.

Food: We only had breakfast at the hotel. The breakfast is delicious and plentiful. They cook scrambled eggs in front of you, if you want without everything, but if you want to add tomatoes, herbs, onions or cheese, there is always hot fried bacon and boiled sausages, grilled tomatoes, some flatbread or pancakes. Well, bread and toaster and butter. And also some delicious sweet drink, I don’t know what it is from, but at least not a Turkish concentrate that needs to be diluted with water)). And, of course, tea and coffee.
Just be careful not to put your plates of food on the table while you are still walking. There are very nimble and hungry birds just waiting for someone new to leave food unattended))) On my first day, a bird stole bacon and a tortilla in just a few seconds, I didn’t even see it))

Service: if you hand over the key to the reception, then they will definitely clean your room, change towels, and so on. I can’t say anything about how often bed linen is changed, because after hearing a lot about “dirty India”, I took it. But I was pleasantly surprised at the place: the linen is white, clean and ironed, as well as the towels. But since she brought her own, she still bedded him. I always left 10 rupees (this is 5 rubles). For us, a penny - and the cleaning staff was nice and always folded figures from towels for us)) On the 4th or 5th day they banged one glass, but they didn’t take anything from us, explaining that we didn’t do it on purpose! )
Next to the reception there is a room with safes. The cell is free, only a small lock is needed, with a maximum arc of 5-6 mm. If you didn’t bring your own (and we had one), then you can take it from them, the price is about 140 rubles for the entire period, regardless of the number of days.
Also, we were allowed to call the guide from the reception without any problems absolutely free!

The hotel offers scooter rental, we got 150 rubles a day. Gasoline is offered at 80 rupees (40 rubles) per liter, for comparison, at a gas station it costs 60 rupees. Scooter consumption - 1 liter per 30-40 km. We traveled on it all the coastline. goa, loved it!

Territory: the territory is small, very well-groomed. Lots of greenery. There is a pool, small, but there are different depths from about 50 cm to 1.8 m. It is located in the shade of trees, so the water is always pleasantly cool. We spent some time with him when we burned out in the sun) There is a bar next to the pool, but I don’t know about prices, we didn’t use it.
I had my own alcohol, which is very cheap in GOA, they poured glasses in the room and brought them to the pool)

Entertainment: in the evenings there is almost always live music and some other performances. We didn't visit much, so I don't know what kind of entertainment they have there.

Sea and beach: The hotel has its own access to the sea, go 200 meters. The beach is good, sand, few people, sellers and beggars. The entrance to the sea is gentle, but not long. There are almost always waves: less in the morning, more in the evening. The water is clean, but due to the waves and sand and the coast is a little muddy. To the right of the exit to the beach is the shek (cafe) Palm and Sands, if you order something from them, the sun loungers will be free. Highly recommend: delicious, average prices, very friendly staff. If you walk along the beach to the right, the cafes begin to stand one after another in a solid line, which significantly increases the number of people.

Near the hotel: Fort Aguada and the lighthouse are 5 kilometers away.
Entrance to the fort is free, and you can climb the lighthouse for 35 rupees per person (that's 18 rubles). There is a beautiful view from there. Fort Reis Magos is located 7 kilometers away (we didn’t get inside, because we left it on the last day, and upon arrival it turned out that Monday was a day off. But from the outside it looks more interesting than Fort Aguda.


Good cafes next to the hotel: We liked the Curry House shek the most, cheap prices, great variety of food, very nice and smiling staff and live music every evening. Also, a good place is 21 Cocos, but the prices are higher there.

Supermarkets: in Candolim there are 2 major stores: Delphinos and Newtones. Newton is more Europeanized, but the prices there are an order of magnitude higher, so I advise Delfinos, everything you need is there, the prices are low.
