С удовольствием поеду в этот отель если представится такая возможность. I will be happy to go to this hotel if the opportunity arises.

My wife and friends and I came to India for the first time. Before leaving, everyone told us: Goa is not India and where are you going? There is mud and disease! ». But, as we say, "hunting is worse than captivity" - I really wanted to look at the country of Mowgli (although Kipling Mowgli wrote in Ceylon, where we were already).

Why Goa is not considered India, the guide Glory told us on a tour of Old Goa. And after visiting Hampi, we agreed with this statement. But the Salt Vacation Hotel turned out to be just wonderful.

Personnel. This is the first thing we encountered arriving on a night flight. We were accommodated without waiting for 14-00 (check-in time). Then they moved at our request. The first room smelled strongly of mold and we were able to endure it for only 2 hours. Then we went to change. There were no free rooms and we were moved to the villa without taking any extra charges.

In the restaurant, by the pool, security - everywhere the staff was also very friendly, but in Indian language slow.
We quickly got used to the slowness and asked for further help from the staff only where we could not do it ourselves.

Restaurant, food. A very pleasant surprise for me was the restaurant with its buffet menu (or as they are called "buffet") for breakfast and dinner. Our food was on. Therefore, there was some risk that the food would be conditionally edible. But the menu exceeded all expectations. Even traditionally poor breakfasts offered local edible dishes of potatoes, pancakes, legumes. Fruits of 3 types (pineapple, papaya, watermelon), 2 types of juice (one of them is fresh watermelon), sweets, cereals and more. For dinner, the menu allowed you to choose from local cuisine chicken, fish or vegetables. The dishes changed a little day by day. So in 10 days I did not get bored.
Surprised by the lack of fresh vegetables for breakfast and their meager offer for dinner (usually one salad "Greek Caesar", which had a very distant relationship with the original of the same name).
The soups and dishes on the menu for lunch were also very tasty. So before the siesta we returned from the beach and preferred to have lunch at the hotel restaurant.

Location. It turned out to be very successful. The road to the beach took us 5-7-10 minutes to crawl. We did not go to the central beach, but turned twice to the left, went to the beach neck Boomerang. In the neck they occupied the deckchairs under the canopy by ordering three cups of coffee for five (that was enough, and the coffee was excellent). There is an Ayurvedic pharmacy opposite the hotel. People even came to it from other settlements. It was also close to the fruit shop: from the hotel on the left and on the road without returning approximately as to the beach.
Well, for an evening walk after dinner it was more interesting to walk past the shops in the center.

Numbers. Standard. Our friends' triple room was twice as big as our double room. The villa, where we were initially accommodated for a few days, can accommodate 5 people.

2 rooms. One huge with a bed of immeasurable size. The second is small with 2 beds, but with a separate toilet in the room. I can't complain about the cleaning of the rooms, we cleaned regularly regardless of whether we left a tip on the bed or not (a couple of times we forgot to leave more the next day). The soundproofing in the hotel is normal. We could not hear loud neighbors from above. Yes, and our room was with access to the pool, which at first scared the possibility of high-profile companies. But it all worked out.

Summing up the impression: I will be happy to go to this hotel if the opportunity arises.
