Rested in Karina Beach 2 * from 25/01 to 05/02/2012 HOTEL1. Territory: very clean, civilized, small pool, clean, deep. Lots of greenery and flowers. The hotel has a lot of humidity, towels almost never dry2. Number: upon arrival, we asked for a room with air conditioning and a refrigerator. The air conditioning was almost non-existent - there was not enough fan. Cleaning every day, change of towels every day. Bedding was changed as it got dirty - 1.2 times a week. The water in the shower is almost always hot. Tual. there was always paper, soap was only on check-in. There is no hair dryer. The furniture is as usual - beds, bedside tables, a low cabinet, a large mirror. There is no TV. There are enough sockets in the room. To plug the equipment into the socket, you need to select the holes suitable for this and press the toggle switch. There were few mosquitoes in the room - we had a fumigator with us. If you leave food and / or shells open in the room, for example, then soon ants will come to these fragrant things. Conclusion, do not pig in the room3. Meals: The hotel only offers breakfast. Included in the price is always standard: 2 toasts, butter, jam, coffee or tea, juice. The rest of the time they ate fruits: pineapple, papaya, avocado, passion fruit, grapes, banana, watermelon, melon, strawberries, guava, etc. Everything is very cheap. We had dinner at the sheikhs (cafe) on the beach or at the Malibu cafe closest to the hotel. 4. Location: Far from the beach, along a not very good path - 15-20min. On the road 20-25 min. on foot. We rented bikes and rode them. Price 1 is great 50-60rub/day. Tourist center from the hotel is 20-25 min. walk (in the other direction from the beach). We did all our shopping there. Always traded. SUMMING UP INFO ABOUT THE HOTEL I say with confidence - you can live: quiet, calm, comfortable, clean. BEACH We cycled through almost all the beaches from Colva and south, to the cape. The widest beaches are Colva, Benaulim, Varca. The sea is always big waves, but you can swim. Beach cafes (sheikhs) are equipped with sunbeds and umbrellas. We stayed in different ones, sometimes we didn’t take anything in cafes. In the evening, the sunbeds are removed and tables are set. And in the dark, all over the beach, small lights light up - candles are lit on the tables. EXCURSIONS We took a taxi (the day before we agreed with the taxi driver) for 780 rubles. for two. Traveled from 8 o'clock. Under 16: Panji (capital), Old City, Spice Plantation, Elephant Ride. Entrance to the plantation costs 240 rubles per person. The price includes: lunch (buffet), tour of the plantation (with a Russian-speaking guide), small. spice kit. In general, interesting. Elephants ride 2 km from the plantation. Prices: 10 min-420 rubles. riding, photo riding an elephant - 120 rubles. , photo next to the elephant 60 rubles. MOST UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCESThese are endless beaches where you can race on a bike, walk or just lie on a lounger. At the same time, your favorite music sounds in your headphones and you forget everything mundane, you plunge into some kind of nervana, into a trance, into absolute calmness. They are friendly, smiling, calm people. They live very poorly, but at the same time they seem to be completely satisfied with life. These are incomparable fruits, amazing fish. These are amazing sunsets that you can’t tell about, you just have to see them. This is the pleasure of the evening sheikhs - when beautiful music sounds, mixing with the sound of the waves, and you are dancing on the sand to all this splendor....And returning to winter frosty Moscow, you feel that before your mind's eye you will still have for a long time the whisper of waves on the sunny paths of endless beaches, the open spaces of the sea and the gentle sun slowly sinking into them, and at the same time - complete relaxation, complete peace, and boundless fullness happiness.
