Goa. A dream come true) Arrived in the morning, about 7-8 hours. Check-in to the room was expected (according to) at 10. They offered to put all things in one room, change clothes and rest) And so they did. About 10 they offered a room....Tin - the windows overlook the household yard. As it was thought that from early morning the noise and din - they refused... they offered another room)))) One floor BELOW !! ! And again and even BELOW!!! ! In the end, they gave me a room in the same building, but the windows overlooked the pool and cafe (it turned out to be a plus - free "cafe" wi-fi)
Number. Almost two rooms. Large bed and corner sofa. The three of us easily accommodated) The room is quite clean. There is everything you need. The only thing is that you need to immediately figure out which switches turn on and off (up to the point that sockets turn on). Plumbing in the room, surprisingly, many times better and more serviceable than in Turkey and Egypt. I don’t know what is the reason, it seems that the country is poorer...
Cleaned up regularly. Regular change of linen and towels. Although from conversations with other "settlers" it was clear that someone did not change their linen at all. I don't know. . . The maid))) was a nice guy. Asked - changed without question.

Breakfasts. Peculiar. Everything is sharp enough. Although, for my taste, it’s normal for the morning))) And there are toasts, butter, jams, coffee, tea, yupi juices)))
Swimming pool. Not deep. Clean. Cleaned and chlorinated regularly. Minus one - no sunbeds by the pool.
There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for children. This is a plus))))
To the sea-ocean almost 5-7 minutes leisurely. Beach. Beginning of the season. Dirty, but you could already see people taking out the garbage. On the beach there are sun loungers, mattresses, umbrellas, etc. , but all this is for extra. fee and you need to pay beach cafes, in front of which these sunbeds. Followed to impossibility strictly. In the morning, in area 7, I sat down on a sunbed and five minutes later an Indian stood and demanded a hundred rupees)))) Exoticaaa))))
In these same cafes you can spend the whole day, lunch, dinner....
river princess. A hefty ore carrier that has run aground. Poisons the landscape. NOT A RUSSIAN ship. Although it is written - Moscow... This is an English ship sold to a private company in India. She is now butting heads with the Government because of this ship... You just can’t get afloat and clean it ((((
Cafes. If you leave the hotel and go in the other direction from the sea, then in five minutes you will find yourself on a busy street with a darkness of cafes, shops, etc.... The currency is changed without problems. Dollar = 44 rupees. You can eat and drink in any cafe. But, from 14 to 19 they almost all have a break - they serve only some minimum from the menu. Perhaps the most famous cafe Lobster Pot (and the most expensive). I personally liked the other two (moreover, one of them, the coolest, was a stone's throw from the hotel, it's a pity I found out about it late). About the cafe - ask...
There is a large Newton's store - you can buy everything you need there... I made sure again - sometimes you shouldn't take different junk with you...
Excursions. "Pegasus" slightly parted. referred to the weather. Who cares - I will answer.

Goa... In general, this is a place for those who "understand". As the guide said, you either fall in love with India right away, or you never accept it. Yes, dirt on the streets, cows))) But is that really the point?? ? The sea, the ocean, nature and the sun. . . it all makes the cons so frivolous. . .
I will go there again. And more than once, I hope.
