хороший отдых good vacation

We rested in Shikara 3 * from March 17 to March 31.2013. Another name is Luisa by the sea. A complex of villas and two buildings with rooms. We lived in villa number 68 (Layla Villa). One of the simplest two bedroom villas, next to the children's pool and the main building. The villa has a small cozy veranda (there is room for a dining table, four chairs that do not interfere with the passage to the house). Inside the hall, kitchen, two bedrooms, each with a private bathroom. There is a clothes dryer that can be exposed to the sun. Specifically, in our villa there were the following shortcomings: there were ants in both bathrooms and in the kitchen, the set of dishes was limited to plates, cutlery and glasses - there were no pots or pans. The ceiling fan in the hall did not work. The lamps on the bedside tables did not work in the bedrooms, the socket was broken in one. There was noise from the transformer during the night. Cleaned in a day or two, the bed was changed after the sheet was removed and thrown on the floor. Now about the hotel in general. The Internet was at the reception, despite the availability of equipment in the villas. The manager who met us was extremely unfriendly. All requests were answered with a refusal or vague excuses. Since we were during the spring break, there were a lot of Russians. Both in the main building and in the villas. A couple of times drunk comrades hung out near the pool until the morning. Breakfast is rather poor, scrambled eggs or scrambled eggs, toast, butter, jam, cereal. Sometimes there were pineapples or watermelons, vegetables. This is where the shortcomings we noticed end. The territory is large, well-groomed - palm trees, flowers, shrubs - everything is beautiful, neat, clean. Two swimming pools - children's (cleaner), the second is larger. There is a "quay" - a picturesque path along the river and beautiful villas. At noon hours it is good to spend time on the veranda if you take care of mosquitoes and midges in advance. Walk 200-300 meters to the sea, closer to shops, to a restaurant on the river (we recommend - River View) through the gate - very close. A few more impressions about the holiday. Cavelossim is a small village, shops are mostly souvenir and clothing. A couple of small family run convenience stores. Fruit selection was rather limited - pineapples, watermelons, strawberries, papaya, passion fruit, chica, guava, bananas. For fish, shrimp, squid, we went to the market in Margao (40 minutes by local bus, instead of an excursion). On the beach, we ate in the first shek on the left "Sea Ways", went to others, but we liked this one the most in terms of the speed of service, the quality of the food, and the prices too.
