good hotel for budget stay. It should be noted a spacious room (studio) with a living room, a kitchen and a spacious balcony. The presence of a refrigerator and TV (English) in the room. Breakfast is also relatively good - toast with jam, scrambled eggs, porridge, juice, tea / coffee. The hotel area is small (compared to Turkish or Egyptian hotels), but the surroundings are very green, it's nice to admire the view from the balcony. If you have a license, you can rent a moped or other vehicle and move freely around the state yourself - in this case, this hotel is a real find in order to come to your room just to spend the night. In general, I really liked the country! Very unusual, because at first everyone experienced a culture shock from the poverty that everyone saw, starting at the Goa International Airport, at the entrance to which a long queue forms if several planes take off at once, since the building cannot accommodate all passengers.
But gradually you get used to it, you enter the local rhythm of life. I strongly advise you to go to the casino on the ship in the capital of Panjim (Panjim) - a very beautiful view of the coast, live music, delicious food.
The hotel, I think, can be rated two stars with a plus, I was very pleasantly surprised by the size of the rooms - you definitely won’t find such spacious 2-star categories in Europe.


Inconvenient location regarding the nightlife of the resort - you have to take a taxi to bars, restaurants, discos - 15 minutes one way. The common beach is located 10 minutes walk from the hotel, but you have to go along a narrow path, which is quite unsafe to walk along - wild boars run with their offspring, and when it gets dark it becomes especially scary. To other beaches of North Goa such as Ashvem, again, I had to take a taxi - 40 minutes one way.
Also, I would not advise paying for the New Year's gala dinner - by local standards it is very expensive, the restaurant is the same or cheaper, but with great comfort (the hotel just arranged a buffet, to which such a huge queue lined up that at 12 midnight, more than half of the vacationers stood in line for hot drinks; besides, drinks were not included in the price - even water was paid for at dinner).
