Rested with my husband in this hotel from 12/5/2008. I really liked the hotel. Excellent territory, large, very well-groomed, herons walk on the lawn, cozy. Multi-level swimming pool, jacuzzi. We do not swim in the pool, because there is an ocean ; ) The staff is friendly, everyone smiles and greets. We only took breakfast. I can’t say anything bad, the standard ones are omelettes, cereals, buns, coffee and fruits, in general, everything is standard.
We dined on the very shore in shek, which is located to the left of the exit to the beach. Very cheap - we ate different fish every day, everything is very tasty, I especially recommend trying rum with cola, although my husband and I rarely drink, but in the end, having tried rum there, we took a box home with us (naturally to friends =)). I also advise you to go exactly to this shek (as you go to the beach, first on the left), because. in the cafe to the right of the entrance, the owner and staff are not very adequate, I won’t go into details, I’ll just say that this is not only my opinion, but decide for yourself. I was also with my husband in the "Kolya cafe", so publicized on the Internet, but in the end, they still ate in "our" shek. I recommend in this cafe to contact a guy whose name is Alex, we became very friends, a good boy, kind, sympathetic, my husband and I still remember him : ) We took excursions from him, his boss took us in his car - this there was something, we really liked it, and looking at those who took excursions through a guide, tears of pity almost welled up))) except that in the end it was three times cheaper than the guide, so my husband and I were everywhere together, for example, when we went to the waterfall, there were only two of us in the jeep, and the rest were crowded with 10 people each (! ), besides, we stopped, took pictures, no one urged us on - we wanted to stop, we wanted to go further, etc. . We were also fishing together on a boat, while others were stuffed into boats, and we went with local fishermen, it’s also super - you can sit on the bow, sunbathe, I personally never fished, but here I caught 8 pieces and my husband even more ( of course, we left only a couple of fish for ourselves, which we then fried, and the rest were released, because they are very beautiful and it’s just a pity to eat them). Then we rode on a parachute - this is no comment at all, just try, do not be afraid, then you will never forget.
Summarizing, I can say, if you have a choice and an opportunity - go to this hotel (by the way, communicating with the local, friendly people and just with tourists, we found out that this is one of the best, respected hotels in Goa), you will not regret it. Also, take only breakfasts or no meals at all, because. tastier, cheaper and just more pleasant to eat on the shore in shek. I repeat, contact Alex in the shek, you really won’t regret it, he’s a very good guy (when we left, he gave my husband a huge shell (he saw that my husband wanted to buy it, but it’s very expensive on the beach), he gave me a stunningly beautiful nesting box, in the same way, looking at how our Russian neighbors (sorry for the expression, you know such a cattle... I just don’t know how to describe it yet) are bargaining to ride a scooter with the local, impoverished population, came up to us and asked if we ride a scooter, we said that we want, he approached the guys with a scooter and in the end, we rode with my husband, and when we wanted to pay, Alex did not take the money, he said that this was a gift from him : ) Although he himself has no money , because he has no parents, and only his sister and brother remain, whom he has to support...

In general, go don't think about anything, just relax, enjoy the sun, amazing beach and of course the Indian Ocean!!!
Also, a request to those who will go there, please send greetings to Alex from Sergey and Lena, who had a rest in December before his vacation.
Well, I wanted to write a short review, but it did not work =)
