Hi all!! ! We went to South GOA together with my wife from 07.01. 2014 to 19.01. 2014. I can immediately say that the Karina hotel is just wonderful, a lot of greenery, to the sea on the road 20 minutes at a slow pace (on the right from the hotel), there is also in the backyard there is a gate through which it is 10 minutes to the sea. The people at the hotel are very hospitable and will always help you in any situation, the main thing is not to see yourself as a redneck!! ! ))) Breakfast from 8 to 12 am, includes 2 toasts with jam and tea (we had enough). The restaurant itself and the reception are open from 8:00 to 23:00. Specify your tour operator what time you will be brought to the hotel because after 11 pm there is no one at the reception and you will be checked into the hotel only by 11 am. The room has everything you need for an overnight stay (all days from morning to night were close to the sea): a shower, a bed, a conder, a large balcony, a wooden locker for things. If you want the room to be cleaned, leave the room key at the reception and 50 rupees on the bed will be cleaned perfectly. Regarding the pool: the water is cooler than the sea, but once you can swim there, very clean and large. The peculiarity of this hotel: very nice people, a lot of greenery (the local gardener waters and cleans everything every morning). You won't find litter bins anywhere in India, they just aren't there, you can just put garbage near the road and they will take it away. NO theft, but be careful of other tourists. Shops: on the road to the left of the hotel there is a grocery store where you can buy water, which you must buy for drinking. fruit, etc. There will be an alcohol shop on the right. Alcohol should be bought there, prices are lower than anywhere else. Alcohol: I advise you to try Kingfisher beer, the famous local rum "Old Monac" and wine "Port No. 7" exactly No. 7. Communication: they didn’t take a local SIM card, they contacted all the time via Skype, and why do you need it on vacation. Souvenirs: Always bargain with shopkeepers, they are discounted 3-5 times, and at the end of the holiday, 10 times. The one that is not tanned is better not to buy. Money: Do not change the exchange rate at the airport much lower than everywhere else, it is better to change it at the hotel, they will definitely not deceive you. Mosquitoes: few, but there. It is better to take a fumikotor with you, at the expense of other living creatures they have not met. Shakes: I want to say right away that we went to only one shake called "COCONUT". The best shake in GOA!! ! Its features are that in the short time that we were there, we became friends. I advise you to try grilled shark, crabs, chicken, lobsters and, of course, king prawns. even if something is not on the menu, you can order it and it will be tomorrow. Sunbeds, WI-FI, showers are all free. In the evening, you can ask to take a table directly to the sea or dance to any music that suits you. Service waiters will give odds to even the best restaurants. Dishes are not prepared quickly, but everything is fresh, when ordering seafood, they will bring it to you and show you a choice. If there are problems with English (everyone speaks English), then there is a person (the name is Guru) who speaks Russian. Through it, by the way, you can go on all excursions in India for a lot CHEAPER than through an agency. Spend one day there and you will understand why we only went there. I will also note the waiter Krishna, who became a real friend to us, now we even correspond with him on social networks. networks. Korche "KOKO*S" FOREVER!!!!!!!!! !
