Let me start by saying that India is an amazing country! ! There is no such spiritual atmosphere anywhere. And so I envy you a little, because you are just getting ready, exploring hotels, beaches, etc. Okay, more to the point. Hotel Dona Teresina is located on a very busy street, so if you like peace and quiet, then ask for rooms in the back. We got rooms, or rather a room with two bedrooms and a common living room (the so-called: )), with a balcony on this most noisy street. I thought it was impossible to sleep in such conditions, but I was wrong. We were so tired during the day that I passed out in a minute. When we checked into the room, of course, we were shocked, probably like everyone else who gets into an Indian hotel for the first time : )) There is nothing superfluous in the room, very modestly. I already wrote that we had a joint room for two couples with two bedrooms. Our friends were more fortunate, they had two beds combined together, a table with a mirror and a closet. We only have a bed and two bedside tables. There were two toilets, thank God. In general, the rooms are very modest, but clean! ! There were no living creatures except mosquitoes and ants. If you do not want to be bitten by mosquitoes, do not open the windows at night, the fan is enough. The hotel area is clean and well-groomed, there are many palm trees, the pool, by the way, is clean, you can swim. Breakfast is very poor, we never ate. Once we ordered breakfast, delicious burgers, but they wanted to talk to us, after that we never ate there. The rooms are cleaned only upon request, leave the key at the reception and you will be clean : ) In general, we only came to the hotel to wash and sleep, so I can’t tell anything more about the hotel. The location of the hotel is quite convenient, opposite the Newtons supermarket, where you can buy rum, cola, chips and even hair dye : ) I forgot to write about the course, the hotel has a good course, you can change it. The hotel is located between the beaches of Candolim and Calangute, we went the shortest way: we crossed the road (by the way, the first days, it was very difficult because of the crazy traffic) and left until the first turn to the right. There is a street with shops, shops, restaurants. It takes about 10 minutes to the beach with a measured step. We really liked Calangute beach, it is the busiest. I already wrote that the hotel is located between Calangute and Candolim, Calangute to the right, Candolim to the left. We walked along the beach along the sea to the right to the very center of Calangute. We were also on Baga, but we didn’t like it, the food is more expensive and tasteless. We really liked the Hard Rock Cafe shake, it’s quite cheap, very tasty, the staff has no words at all, we became very friends with the guys (Jimmy, Valera (very funny curly-haired guy), San and Mummy (that’s what we called him, I don’t know his name: ))) In the evenings, they also came here, a couple of times they arranged a disco with our flash drive, it was a lot of fun. On the last evening, we all drank rum together with the workers and sang songs until the morning)) We didn’t go on excursions much, because we didn’t want to spend precious days traveling in the heat. We ourselves went to the south of Goa to Palolem beach, our friends rested there, the beach is very beautiful, but very boring there. Just go there to take a picture and go back. We also traveled along the northern beaches: Vagator, Ashvem, Morjim, Mandrem. It is worth a trip to Vagator, where it is more picturesque and on the left in the stones lies a statue of the face of Shiva. You can go to Ashvem, if you go left through the stones, you will come to Morjim, a very beautiful beach!! ! To the right is Mandrem. People in India are very kind and responsive, if you speak at least a little English, then you are generally lucky, they are very inquisitive, they will tell and show everything. In short, you can still write and write. I have never received so many impressions. The sea is a completely separate issue! It is so big, stormy, warm!! ! Having visited Goa once, you still want to go there again!!!! !
